The Presence VS PR Beyonder

I know this is kinda stupid, since Pre-Retcon Beyonder is believed to be the God of the omnipotent GOD.

But does old man freaky face The Presence (I'm talking about the white haired hobo who ate Heaven) stand a chance against God's God??

Knowsbleed33
As powerful as PR beyonder was he's not equal to or above "God". If this is the Presence who is "God" of the DCU he wins all day, everyday.

joesdabest1
Beyonder would 1 shot him.

PR Byonder was ridiculously powerful. Equal to or possibly even stronger than the TOAA. I'm gonna have to say stalemate on this one, but kinda leaning toward PRB.

kevdude
The Presence would blink him out of existence. PR Beyonder isn't Gods God he is like him but not, mainly a immature godlike being who didn't get to his full potential. Can you say closed???

Honestly, I think it would've been great to have Lobo beat on Asmodel during Reign in Hell...except for the little problem of Nekron kicking his ass before hand instead.

To those who believe that Presence is without limits I point towards the Presence disrespect thread I created some time ago. It's closed, but the hypothesis--along with sources--are there.

As for this battle I would say it's a stalemate, but if I have to go one way or another I'd go with the Beyonder. Because at least there were reasonable explanations for his restrictions (he willed it) and he was the most powerful fictional entity in Marvel at the moment.

And on a more sincere note, why would they use their "eyes" in this battle? It's basically two clusters giant of multiverses battling each other.

Since he has no TRUE shape and form, it is how our limited minds conceive him to be.

Xplosive
The Presence or Yahweh are one and the same (The Presence is known under many names). The same being, the same person. The Presence is personal and that is also clear in the comics. Yahweh may be The Presence manifestation or his expansion, but it's still The Presence, the same person. No difference.

Originally posted by occultdestroyer

The power of The Presence derives from him. The Presence is personal and he controls the Supreme power. He is everywhere in DC and controls everything, since everything is under his power. But he still is a person with shape and form, but is the Supreme person, with the absolute power in comics (similar to THOTI, but it seems that not like TOAA).

This is a stalemate, but The Presence would probably take the win.

Well if you consider that a win quan then ok.

If we consider JLA/Avengers to be canon, (debatable) then the marvel and DC multiverses are roughly equivalent in size.

this means that the presence=marvel's TOAA...both would be supreme rulers/gods/whatevers of the totalities of their respective realities.

The problem with pre-retcon beyonder is that he/it was stated to be not just a god, but an entire sentient reality quadrillions of times more powerful than either one of those. the "beyond realm" wasn't part of the marvel universe, it was a completely different continuity and further proven to be so when the "new universe" was established (and abandoned) after secret wars.

to put it very simply, it's like making a versus fight between the marvel and image universes, with the stipulation that image is a billion times larger/more powerful. There's no way for DC, the presence, or anyone to win a debate against Pre-retcon beyonder. that character was retconned for a reason- it completely broke the marvel cosmic heirarchy and made a joke out of it.

the only way the presence doesn't get obliterated instantly is if you can somehow make the argument that the DC multiverse is equivalent to the size/power of the pre-retcon beyond realm, which is (1) ludicrous and (2) not likely if we consider JLA/Avengers to be canon.

no more vs. threads with PR beyonder please. That character needs to be retired from these boards.

You are referring to a manifestation of The Presence himself.

IIRC he's done it at least 3 times already:
As YHWH, as Wally, and as Jim Corrigan's father.

Rama Kushna is also a plausible alternate name referred to him.

But essentially, The Presence has no form and all-encompassing, similar to the Abrahamic God.

Brahman is Krishna expansion in a non-personal form. So, the same person in a different, non-personal role (Krishna knew people in material world will easier conceive God, Him in a non-personal form, but God is a person, but a Supreme Person unlike us, who are His particles). But Supreme Person is the cause of Brahman. We know Krishna is a person, Supreme Person, Absolute and has His shape and form. Jesus was clearly teaching that God is personal (so the true Abrahamic God of Christianity was thought by Jesus to be a person, the same goes for Allah, but Brahman is indeed His non-personal form), so was Muhammad, so were other true spiritual masters (A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada being also among them).
Maybe The Presence is Brahman, that is why it was clearly seen that even The Presence is shaped by external sources, by person or personal form. The Presence is like THOTI, the absolute writer power within comics.
Krishna is God or Allah, and Brahman is His non-personal expansion.
Although Hinduism has Vishnu as the Supreme and Krishna as his avatar, true spiritual masters have clearly said that Krishna is the Supreme and cause of all causes and therefor also cause of Vishnu expansion.

I might have misunderstood something but isn't we (the readers) according to Morrison, the Presence?

Wrong.

THOTI was a formless concentration of all energy in the Omniverse,
once merged with it, Thanos became all that is, was or ever will be.
Originally posted by occultdestroyer

False.

Eternity is a concept, so is Infinity, how can they have form? no expression

Eternity/Infinity employ fractals to give them a form, ( to manifest as an image)
but this form is not either of them, just a shell that contains their power.

Really, where is it stated that the Christian God has no form?
(according to Ezekiel, who literally saw God, God has form, shape and substance)
while being spirit simultaneously.

And let's not mention the others, they're inconsequential,
the Presence, who related to michael/Lucifer and Jesus,
is obviously a cheap imitation of the Abrahamic God,
cheap ... because Lucy is not God's son in any way shape or form,
according to the Bible, which is where everything Christian God is defined,
Yahweh only has one, and that's Jesus.

AlmightyKfish
Lucifer/Michael/Gabriel are not literally The Presence/God's sons.
They're just the most powerful angels. And probably the most powerful beings in all DCU existance sans The Presence itself.
He refers to them as my son's in the same way that the Bible states all of human beings are God's children.

That is partially true, because Jesus has also clearly said that he is not God and that we are all God children's, no less than Jesus himself.
It's only that we have fallen from our true nature, true home, from spiritual realm and Jesus is among more true spiritual masters who have come to teach us, to show us a way, how to return home, because we have forgotten it all.
And also about God having only one son, Jesus, no it's not true. Jesus was never teaching that, but that is the way of today corrupted church who is teaching something that Jesus was never teaching.
There is almost no Christian in the world that is following Jesus, but mostly are following christian church, which has gone all wrong of what Jesus wanted.

I have the Lucifer/Sandman/Spectre seires,
there are several issues where it's literally stated by the Vertigo/DC God himself,
that they are his sons (Mike/Lucy) ...
other references from Lucy/Mike & other characters/narration are also mentioned.

Only Jesus is referred to as God's actual son in the Bible.

No, not true. Humans are are all God's children and that is actuality and not because of symbolism. We are souls and not humans. We are souls trapped in human body. We are all God's children, literally. We are God's children as demigods are, as Jesus is, as Muhammad is, as fish are, as ants are and bacterias. Every living being is 100% God children. No difference between Jesus and any other living being in that department.

That is, because in our true nature we are godlike, because we are His particles (in quality we are the same to God, but not in quantity). But because we have fallen, that doesn't make us any less of His children than before. It means we have fallen from out true nature and forgotten it. Jesus is one of many true spiritual masters who was sent to revive that memory and to teach who we truly are (among that is that we are Krishna (God) children) and why we are here, in material world and how to return home.
But many are not following Jesus and other spiritual masters. But if you follow Jesus, that automatically means you are following Muhammad, Srila Prabhupada... absolute truth. Jesus teaching was from the beginning manipulated and then by church. One of worse manipulation is killing animals for food.

How could anyone believe this babble....

SupremeMan
As powerful as the Beyonder was, he was not all-powerful. He was all the power of one universe personified I believe. The Presence is the all-powerful deity of an endless multiverse. He is simply a way of saying God without saying God. If he "loses", such as failing to stop the Anti-Monitor in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, its only because he restricts himself regarding what he will or won't do.

It's only that the atheist don't come to house and preach that. Anyway, like I said, many who says they are religious they are not and are more fanatical and are not following spiritual masters (most on Earth are like that), but are following corrupted church or temples and not true teaching. Those are not real religious people and only want you to take their side.
As you can see, I make no difference between Islam, Christians, Hare Krishna, because I know that in their true form are absolute truth. Spiritual masters have never been sent to make religion, because religion already existed, it's that they had to revive absolute truth, because it had been manipulated too much. It's the corrupted people that they manipulate with that, with the truth for selfish, material reasons. And then people are manipulated by manipulated bible, Koran or Bhagavad Gita to take you to someone to your own side, which should never be the case.
And when it comes to that, again, a real spiritual master comes.

I've read that yo don't want to touch this theme, so I don't want to have this conversation, except if you would want, but it seems, you don't.

True, although from a few comics in the Spectre's it would seem The Word = Jesus. The Word was given a spot by The Voice over the angels. The Presence does have Lucifer and Michael as his sons but he only has one begotten son.

And that is the biggest problem on Earth. The true moral truth you will get from spiritual maters. You can get it also elsewhere, but that is for sure. People on Earth are moralizing themselves mostly based on that they are not killers (didn't kill human and about, you have to survive. Survive to kill another walking being. It doesn't work that way. And how they are hard workers and so on...). But then you ask him, what about animals. And many say, they are not important (and it's hard without meat and you have to eat something. But that is stupid). How can someone moralize about something, when he can't see how wrong is killing animals. How can you see what is wrong, when you are doing wrong? How can alcoholic see, he is an alcoholic (and we know the problem with them is that they sincerely say and mean they are not. But others can see he is, but you can't explain that to him, just can't). When will he realize he is an alcoholic or was? When he stops drinking. Then when time passes, he will see, he truly was, but not when he was an alcoholic.

When meat eater stops eating meat, then he sees how wrong and bad it was. And because of that, he tries to talk to others about that, but other won't take him seriously, and with time he still tries to show them, because of personal experience, because he was also like that, ignorant about that.

People don't realize and how monstrous important is that killing animals and slaughterhouses are one of the worst things that is going on in this world.

I don't want even to preach people about religion, because people are too self centered and don't want to think or listen about that and outside of that as how they been raised. But parents aren't always be right.
Only what I try is to make people see how wrong is killing other persons.

And the fact that you can love an animal as you can love your close friend. Because it's person and we shouldn't be killing other person for selfish reasons.

No. There wasn't a well established "God" concept in those days though.

Not having his power taken by Carnivean, not being unable to deal with Synnar, and not inventing Superman to name a few things.

People seem to confuse the writer with fictional beings.

The One-Above-All is depicted in "Sensational Spider-Man #40" as a homeless man. Note this being has no connections to the writers of the "outside-world".

The-One-Above-All (fictional) > Presence (fictional) > classic Beyonder

Handbooks and similar sources suggest that The-One-Above-All is supreme within the Marvel Omniverse, and it's creator. The cosmic feats in Marvel, to my knowledge, extends the cosmic feats in DC therefore The-One-Above-All would be greater than the Presence. Other than that the Presence has shown some severe flaws, both in Vertigo and in the mainstream DCU (I'm looking at Synnar who was able to escape the Presence's omniscience.)

To say that both The-One-Above-All (fictional) and the Presence is equal due to them both being supreme is to commit the golden meaning fallacy.

The Presence wasn't in the Superman Beyond story-line. The writer more than likely didn't even think of him while writing it.

The cosmologies of Marvel and DC aren't as structured and universal as people tend to believe. Now, I'm not telling people to stop thinking and give up on making sense of it. But don't act like the authors of DC put great thought into the lack of the Presence's role in the Superman Beyond story-line.

753
yeah they just make new shit up and ignore previous characters and concepts. sometimes someone is nice enough to clean some shit by retcon like the chaos king being oblivion after all.

Golgo13
I like that it's not structured, because it can limit stories. Look at Starlin's story about Synnar and his maker, which contradicts the Presence.

Imo, classic Beyonder is/was above any power that related to the Marvel totality.
(including THOTI which is the next greatest thing ever)

Imo, only the Primal Monitor truly compares to Shooter's vision of the Beyonder.

Now,
I also apply an understanding when Supreme powers confront each other,
it should be auto stalemate.

We'll never see two supreme beings battle in comics (even DC vs
Marvel the result was a never-ending stalemate) so there's no point
in babbling about which Supreme being is greater.

Now,
I don't understand the relationship between the Primal Monitor and Presence,
but one's gotta be greater if they are indeed separate entities.
(there can only be One supreme power within a company)

In the Beyonder's case, he was the Supreme power ...

... ridiculous as it may be Jim Shooter stated Beyonder discovered him along with Marvel:

http://s1d2.turboimagehost.com/t/1799763_jim2mj1.jpg

"Beyonder's discovery of our Universe"

"We introduced the Beyonder
and established
that he was studying these beings - us - he had discovered"

------------------------------------------------------


This is probably why ol' Jimmy had Stan Lee bowing to the Beyonder:

(left bottom corner ... top of his index finger ... Beyonder's right hand)

(top right corner)

laughing out loud

-------------------------------------------------

You know, I've thought of this before,
but on the strength of descriptions Astner,
if TOAA was a character in play at the time,
then TOAA was < Beyonder according to Shooter.

He didn't say that exactly but blatantly implied it in this interview.

leonidas
^so, if i understand you correctly, you're saying that the beyonder's dimension wasn't just outside the marvel multiverse, but that it wasn't even considered a part of the marvel omniverse? i ask because toaa is credited with being the supreme marvel-based power. i would extend that domain to include any book ever published by marvel. even the new universe universe was considered (imo at least) to be part of that omniversal domain and as such a part of the toaa's purview. so, since the beyonder and his realm, is part of marvel, it seems natural that it would fall under the purview of the toaa. and, shooter's artistic shots notwithstanding, any other conclusion would appear to be, imo anyway, self-evidently paradoxical... shrug

Mindset
It's best not to give it too much thought.

Just know that Doom > Beyonder.

Canon.

Insane, but correct. (or at-least that's the way it looks)

Shooter said in that interview,
he was another whole Multiverse, (when Marvel was only a multiverse)
and he was God before Genesis (whatever blasphemous meaning that holds)
and as you already know he discovered Shooter as well. laughing out loud
Stan lee bowing to Beyonder.

Imo, this is madness ... so I rather look at it as Beyonder > writer/artist avatars.

That's also paradoxical but hey ... it is what it is.

I agree. If there ever was a retcon in order .. here it is. smile

shooter's comments can be interpreted as him including the real world in the list of things beyonder was beyond or just using the term 'us' to speak of marvel earth, identifying with it. the latter is more likely and less absurd.

beyonder was only ever shown investigating the 616. there wasnt even a good moment of cheesy 4th wall shattering in which the writers and artists are drawn into the comic.

Pretty sure he explored other universes, but as far as the writer thing, you're right.

do you happen to know where that interview can be found? thought i'd read it but i don't remember some of that info. was it in a book? at a convention? i do recall some implications that might have led one to believe the beyonder was above even RL universe, (which i always took as tongue-in-cheek shooter just trying to p!ss even MORE people off....) but i don't recall that interview you mentioned.

Well as ridiculous uber as Shooter made Beyonder,
he did try and give it a sense of seriousness.
Throwing in blatant 4th wall garbage would've thrown that idea out the window imo.

I think including two sneaky images of Stan as one of Beyonder's slaves
is good enough.

It's from Marvel Age #52

As you probably know but others may not,
Marvel Age is an official Marvel title (issue #'s and all)
that highlighted upcoming stories
(including comments from writers of said stories)
and also further details about stories that had already been published.
(like Secret Wars)

In another issue, I found Starlin's interview about the Infinity Gauntlet.

More info here concerning Marvel Age:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Age

* note Leo: Shooter never literally said Beyonder was above him,
I got that from him saying Betyonder discovered him along with everything else,
and if Beyonder was so much more than everything else,
well then ...

I remember when I used to bring up the notion that some characters were portrayed as more powerful than their real world writers, and you laughed at the idea... You called it a cartoonie joke that wasn't meant to be taken seriously, iirc. But if your opinion regarding the aforementioned has changed, then you should know that Mopee(a 5-D denizen) has some of the best feats out there...

Not only was Mopee responsible for creating the 'big guns' in both Marvel and DC(ie. Flash, Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men, etc.) but he also introduced Jim Shooter's mother and father, thus making him responsible for the creation of Jim Shooter himself:

So really, you should thank Mopee. Without him the Beyonder would be non-existent. thumb up

just like I would laugh at Beyonder being over Shooter.

never saw the mopee stuff though. priceless! laughing out loud

shooter was an interesting dude. he did like to explore the the biggest guns. even gold key solar was god-like. and he just really didn't seem to give a rat's a$$ who he pissed off. i can respect that. lol

How about: You're misinterpreting that statement.
I'm not "backhanding" anything.
I'm just stating verbatim what Shooter said,
what he meant by that can only be answered by him.
That aside, writers speak about characters like their real all the time,
it's not surprising.

Perhaps, but it's coincidental how the only face that's drawn Twice is his.

The First scan it represents all people of the world, (that image is clearly his)
the Second scan represents the most powerful men/women of the world,
which is the heroes/villains and 4 non-powered humans
(president Reagan, Frank the biggest drug dealer,
don't know the old head beneath Ultron, and apparently Stan Lee again)

Anyway, I could be wrong, but considering that his visage was included in both pages,
imo, I find it highly unlikely it was a fortuitous act on the artist's part.

I think this type of threads of omnipotent beings while informative is kind of silly to ask:

IMO anyway.

As for who wins. I think PRB is more omnipotent than the Omnipotent Presence stick out tongue

Sorry if this is considered necroing, in some forums i lurk in 6 months is acceptable.

Point is... beyonder is stated on panel to not be, himself, part of "the realm of existance", and also that his power is "millons of time more than all the rest of the power in the multiverse combined", THOTI is part of the multiverse, then, Beyonder >(x1000000+)>THOTI, he is alas stated to be the God of a universe that still is not. Now among all the things that still are not but can be, exist a being or concept which is more powerful than prescence, TOAA. Im pretty sure the answer is yes, then beyonder is without a doubt more powerful than TOAA or Prescence.

Now, even if IRL beyonder is a fictional character designed and printed by marvel (and thus part of marvel's multi-verse), the fictional character per se, is repeatedly stated as not being part of said multi-verse, so he is not a creation of TOAA.
