Lucifer #75. Lucifer is leaving creation and entering the void. After a couple of meetings, he meets up with an aspect of his father. They talk about the past, present, and future concerning the two of them.


That aspect of the Presence reveals that although he is infinite and external, he was shaped by forces external even to himself , and that Lucifer knows what they are.


On a lesser note, it has been revealed that there was a third brother -- Gabriel, who imposed form and shape to Creation after Samael.

That could be easily chalked up as The MAIN DC's Morpheus. Like how there are technically more then one Galactus.

Ok then if you want to be picky.

Sandman + Lucifer = Vertigo , Vertigo = Non Canon.

Anything that appeared is simply a anomaly or mistake.

So GEB, Lucifer, Michael, Yawhew, Elanie ect. are all non canon and loses by default in any battles in the versus forum, because their feat and statements don't count?

Nope.

But any feats or statements they've made within a MAINSTREAM Dc comic is null and void.

Well he is God, but not Supreme, at least not in Vertigo ...

The Blue brother (pre-retcon) however was stated to be the supreme being in all of DC just like the Red brother (pre-retcon) was stated to be supreme in all of Marvel.

and there have been a few xovers between dcu and vertigo though nowadays it is a bit of a grey area whether vertigo is canon to the dcu. hypertime is/was suppose to connect ALL of dc (including elseworlds) but nowadays it's hard to say for certain.

Acording to that he's a part of the creation, he's just supreme in it.
There's probobly something nice beyond the creation don't you think?

I am not fully aware of that if Vertigo is a part of the DCU mainstrem.

However it is extremely hard to say. There has been times when one 'bled' through the other (DC - Vertigo) . I can name quite a few.

However, during Infinite Crisis, Johns wanted the Endless and VERTIGO magicks involved, including Constantine most notably. That was nixed, all he could make do was have Daniel Hall make a small cameo to invite Hector and Lyta Hall into the Dreaming.

The God in Vertigo is the same god who is not limitless.
Hell Lucifer, I'm pretty sure, fought two beings that had most of Yaw's power.
Also, when Micheal is in DC, his role isn't the same as in Vertigo.
What are you really trying to prove here anyway?

That is not an aspect of his father that IS his father! confused He is #1 in DC/Vertigo Multiverses. The Presence = YHWH.. Do you have something against DC Comics or something?? And Gabriel should not be equals with Michael or Lucifer if thats what your saying. Read more DC/Vertigo comics (along learning more about religion) before making another thread like this!

Of course I don't have anything against DC roll eyes (sarcastic)
But Presence just said that they were beings who created him, whoms power was supreme to his.
This does not lock door's, but open a door to a even more powerful being that the Presence cool

Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, n'uff said.

Your moron, you're proving Thanos THOTU even more correct !


That was his father, but Yahweh himself admitted that although he is infinite and eternal in nature, there are forces external and beyond himself. Thus, admitting he is not All, he is not complete.

kevdude
Well the entire discussion boiled down to if God was truly being honest to Lucifer about everything! God asked him to rejoin him and Luci said no still wondering if it was a part of the great plan. In the end Lucifer stayed true to what he thinks is right and they both went there own way in the void.

This clearly states that the Presence is Yahweh, and the previous post states that he's not supreme.

Hello Vertigo is not canon in DCU. Even the editors of DCU have said that. It cannot be true. Cause in Lucifer's reality there is no hell but in DCU there is that alone ruins your whole theory. sure they have similarities as they are from the same company but they are not one.

So why are there so many leaks between Vertigo and DC?
I mean JLA meets Dream from Vertigo ect.

Now where was it stated that it wasent canon?

They were never rectonned..... It was an Marvel comic not an Marvel/DC comic, one cannot rectonn what one hasn't created, this would be just illogical. Those Brothers are different entities, they are not the Marvel/DC Brothers, except if you can show me the same recton in an DC Comic.

Marvel tried to rectonn the Brothers, but can they do it all by themselves or do they need DC or an Crossover for such a task? What would happen if DC would bring out an Comic in which the Spectre creates two brothers each representing, say, an Omniverse , and says something like "As I have created an golden, three faced Judge before, to pose as the Tribunal, for my entertainment, I will create two BROTHERS even more powerful then him, and enable them to rival even my superior power". What would we have then? Don't go into the details of the quote, it's not there to make sense, it just there to show what could happen if a company would try to rectonn an crossover event all by themself and the illlogic it creates. When both companies would take a different take on an Crossover we would be left with an paradoxon. The Brothers from DC vs Marvel never existed because they re not canon.

Superherovandal
the editors of DCU said they were not one. and the fact that hell exists in DCU but not Vertigo shows that they aren't one. They are similar due to coming from the same company but they aren't the same.

This clearly states that the Presence is Yahweh, and the previous post states that he's not supreme.

Very nice scans, I thought everyone already knew YHWH and The Presence was the same being. He is supreme, the main thing is i've noticed reading a few things about The Source that would indicate they are 1 and the same being. The Word/Logos is God in the flesh aka Christ.

Juntai
Vertigo's Yahweh and DC's Presence are not one and the same.
Yahweh left creation behind, and his name does not bind creation anymore, nor is he part of it. It was given to Elaine.
Elaine destroyed Yahweh's concepts, like heaven and hell.
Yet, those still exist in DC.

DC does not acknowledge Vertigo at all.

Even in the DC Editors panels, when someone mentions something from Vertigo, Didio cuts them short "That's Vertigo, it doesn't count."

But Vertigo's Presence (As he was refered to in those scans) isn't supreme, as he said himself.
And he had to create a couple of practice universes before being able to make Vertigo ...
Why would DC's Presence > Vertigo's Presence?

Everything I've read is yhwh = the presence so yes you are right there. But you are wrong about him HAVING to create practice universes wink . He NEVER had to, but did (already knowing it would work anyway) just to make sure it would work according to his great plan, understand? And yes it could be considered that some parts of Lucifer's comic could be considered canon while some of the ending parts of it not. And it must be noted that John Constantine was in Lucifer's comic, along with I believe a sight of Swamp Thing, though they very hard to see. And Thanos_THOTU is does seem you have something against DC's God or maybe just DC comics, I don't know. I'll point you in a new direction into learning more about DC's God. Look more into The Source, as they say "All roads lead to The Source". Have fun smile .

so what if the presance is shaped by extrenal powers all comics are thats why there comics that doesnt make the presance lower then TOAA in my opinion

There seem to be alot of weird words thrown around without anyone saying what they mean by it.

Anyone care to explain what is meant by "to retcon", "retconned" and "pre retconed"?

Retcon is short for "Retroactive Continuity". It's when an author writes a story that changes the history of a previous story. For example, if Thor beat Thanos, a retcon of that story would be a later story saying that that was just a Thanos clone.

Wonderful analogy Mike, humourous on so many levels, sadly it will be lost on most heresad

-FO!!

Nikkolas
So...what is DC's God? Does he govern over all DC: DCAU, Vertigo, mainstream, etc.? And things like Yahweh and Presence may just be aspects of it for each Creation?

And where does this leave GEB? Half of one aspect or half of the actual whole? GEB is from Vertigo...

welll may i remind everyone that acroding to the original books of magic miniseries DEATHis the only remaining enterty at the end of the universe....... thus that must mean that the presence is not supreme or else he would not be only death at the end of the universe the presence would be their too?

didnt Animal Man appear in 52 or something is 52 a vertigo or a DC book... the universe are linked.. them been dark mirrors of each other. been roughtly fused together in parts and not others surely.

thus some charcters can slip thought easier then others... look how easiler sandman books of magic, lucifer, hellbalzer black orchid and even batman can be interlinked

Except it's already been established in multiple series that the Presence lives outside of the universe
