In one story, it was shown that if Darkseid was removed from the Dc universe, the entire universe itself would erase. If your power is that important to your universe wouldn't that put on Odin's level or even Galactus. Another question I have is about the New Gods true forms. Is it true thier the size of a universe? I've been dying to see the scan, where that statement was made, can someone please show it to me?

DS is powerful in theory, but never in practice...as he is basically Superman's whipping boy.

the scan about the universe collapsing, and presumably the one you're looking for, is in the Darkseid respect thread.

Ideally yes, even Kirby said he was making Darkseid to be at Galactus's level

Not necessarily. Importance wouldn't necessarily have a correlation to power one is able to bring to bear, if you get my meaning.

He plays an important part in the continued existance of the universe? Definitely. This was pretty well explained in the Spectre issue (19, I believe, of v4) in which the Spectre tried to kill him only for Darkseid to reform himself in seconds.

Darkseid is important, and with him the universe falls, but that doesn't mean that the power is necessarily contained with himself.

Which isn't to say I don't think he SHOULD be that powerful, but you know, thats not in the cards right now it seems.



That is untrue.

The New Gods exist in a universe seperate from our own. Revealled in V3 was that they exist in a larger, "truer" universe than that which we (Or rather, the normal DCU) resides in. The normal DC universe is just a small pocket, a mere subset, of their universe.

The true size of a New God is such that planets are comparable to grapes. The Mother Box adjusts ones size as they step through the boom tube.

Enjoy. Yes but that no doubt was retconned. The TT have travelled to Apokolips without a BT and they were the same size as everyone else.

IT wasn't retconned. Devilance Appears as a Giant in 52. People just dont' do thier homework and check on how big the new Gods actually are. in Earth Angel Supergirl, She was the size of an ant to the New Gods.

FearOfBlood
The real Darkseid is Superman's peer.
KMC Darkseid is Galactus peer.

Did I also mention DL was decapitated by Lobo?

That is why I said people don't do thier homework on how big the New Gods actually are. People should literally appear as ants to the New Gods.

Kirby never said hungry level, so don't misquote.

Exactly. Kirby didn't even have a distinction in Galactus's power lvls of hungry and full. To him. Big G had the power to consume planets and thus was powerful. Hunger had nothing to do with the actual power lvls.

What Kirby intended Darkseid to be and what he actually is means nothing. Thanos was originally meant to be a copy of Darkseid but people will argue that isn't the case.

I thought Thanos was originally meant to be a copy of Metron but then he was changed to get more Darkseid - like attributes

Which, of course, means nothing either way because this took place in the normal, mortal universe and thus Devilance would have used a Boom Tube to get there, which would have adjusted his size, which would be in keeping with that continuity.




Perhaps, but not as stupid as you might have others believe.

Lobo didn't actually decapitate Devilance. Devilance set off a trap that was meant to kill Lobo (who himself is basically unkillable, so that should tell us something) and was killed in the process.

Lobo simply used the parts.

Did I ever say otherwise? no


I simply expressed my opinion regarding that particular story. smile

You said that that bit had been retconned, and seemed to be saying that the Devilance appearance was in support of that. Later, someone even used that to say how continuity isn't respected, or something like that.

Ultimately, that showing has no bearing on that piece of continuity and, quite frankly, I don't think you'll find any showings that DO.

When did the Teen Titans travel to Apokolips sans Boom Tube, for instance?



Either you didn't understand that, or you purposely misled people into believing that Lobo is the one who defeated Devilance and hence "decapitated him".

It was the blast that decapitated him, indeed that blasted him to bits, and that had nothing to do with Lobo himself.




At the end, sure. Other parts of your post were presenting facts, and were not 100% accurate, so I gave my take on them.

If not you really should, because I didn't mention a retcon.

I only remarked that DL was large during 52, but not that large. smile

That's all I commented on. wink
