Is he that powerful? Surely Ion would be stronger. Mandrakk never did anything impressive.

There is no character more powerful than Mandrakk within the entirety of the DC Multiverse, with the exception of other monitors, Superman in the cosmic armor, and possibly God/Great Evil Beast.

It's theorized that the Presence is NOT supreme being anymore.

If you read Final Crisis in conjunction with Relevations, Morrison more or less states that the Supreme Being in the DCU is:

Us.

We're the Supreme Being. The audience. Anyone who reads DC comics.

That was the metatextual point of the Miracle Machine.

I though it was the Primal Monitor who created the multiverse and the rest of the Monitors came from it?

Mandrakk was one of the first Monitors, the best of them and then he got banished because he suggested that the Monitors were only parasites fit for one purpose, to consume all story i.e. the multiverse.

He became stronger because he grew into the Monitors worst fear, their thoughts made him more powerful: transforming him to into the Dark Monitor.

As far as the Presence goes it was suggested in FC that DS couldn't directly influence or usurp the Presence position except by taking away the freewill of all the creatures it created.

Obviously with everyone connected to the single will of DS, story would become Darkseid and the Monitors would become irrelevant as they relied on this story for sustenance.

So I'm the Presence? I order the DCU to be dismantled!

DC has created loopholes ever since FC came about.

I still believe that no one in DCU is above The Presence, even Dark Side (which is the other half of The Source) is not above him.

Same thing about The Primal Monitor and Dark Monitor.

It has not even been established if these Monitors are above The Overseers or GEB or Michael Demiurgos, for that matter.

Going by his appearance in FC (his only appearance) where he was feeding on the multiverse and thrashing Spectre and the Radiant I say he make's it to 9.

Cain was Vandal Savage, who was the first murderer, he killed his brother Able.

The bullet contained Radion, which is lethal to New Gods.

The ALE did affect some of the JLA, it also did affect billions of normal humans.

Anyhow, Cain/Savage was given the unmistakable mark so that everyone who saw him would know what he'd done (ie. committed to first murder.)

Hell, Mandrakk was the most powerful villain in FC - yet he both made his appearance in the mainstream DCU, and was subsequently killed, in like 4-5 pages total. Ridiculous.

That doesn't make sense. He one moment he had the mark then latern he has it. Is Cain and Savage the same person? Maybe same body but different soul.



I have read it. I will give you the information and page if you want. cain(with the mark) chains the Spectre. It was right in front of the church

Mandrakk is another god in the dcu like many others (New Gods, Greek Gods etc..) He took advantage of what Darkseid did and tried to attack at there weakest point and still lost, DS proved more then Mandrakk did and about The Spectre and the Radiant, DC will prob pass it off.

"It is. The ALE collapsed the friggin' multiverse."

False. Darkseid himself collapsed the universe. The ALE had nothing to do with the Doomsday singularity.

Whoever said that is wrong. The Primal Monitor birthed the DC Multiverse, according to the panels. Mandrakk is one of its children (A monitor.)

The 52 Monitors and the Prime Monitor are one and the same.

When the DC Universe became the DC Multiverse, the Prime Monitor became the 52 Monitors- from the beginning of time onwards. Kind of the same way "Jenny Reality" in Wildstorm was only created a couple of years ago by Jenny Quantum but has also, always existed.

Mandrakk thus didn't solely create the DC Multiverse but he kind of did.

CosmicSurfer
Why is he demonic/vampire looking? I thought the monitors were celestial-like energy constructs? He doesn't strike me as a highest cosmic force to me. Just a bloodthirsty demonic creature of some sorts.

No, I haven't read the story in case you're wondering.

It does seem to be so Galan.

Quick question some have said that the ALE allowed DS to collaspe the multiverse and DS couldn't have done this without it. While others claim the ALE or him "falling" had nothing to do with the collasping and singularity that it was all DS and his own power. What are your thoughts?

After reading, and rereading FC, I personally think that it was Darkseid, and Darkseid alone, which was responsible for flushing the whole of DC down the cosmic toilet (ie. the doosmday singularity.) The ALE was just a weapon that allowed Darkseid to control all sentient life throughout creation - however, it didn't seem to have much at all to do with actually destroying said creation.

He was also felled by hv and a stick, and gravity played a part.

I really don't know quite what to say about the climax of Beyond and Final Crisis.

The lead up to the reveal of mandrakk was great, but once he was actually in play and on the field, he fizzled.

Nice art, but fizzled on so many levels.

These events from DC are becoming tiresome.

It's like chatting up a girl, putting in work on the phone, texts and facebook.

You've got her in the apartment, and you bumble it with a silent but deadly. Now you're embarassed and she just wants out.

Mandrakk can't beat a drum, much less true cosmics.

Come on! He was defeated by several Lanterns, he may as well beat Surfer!

Again he was beat by those characters when they were acting in the favor of the multiversal monitor empowered by the freaking miracle machine superman and some green lanterns didn't just roll up and merc him and again that wasn't his real body.

I see and appreciate your opinions. It has been argued though that the War of the New Gods is what caused a breach in the multiverse as it was stated on panel? So, I'm curious if you think that this is also a possibility for what caused the breach and him "falling" not him causing it all under his own power?

He was defeated on earth by means of the most mundaness, and even in the higher dimensions.

The resident evil knockoff(he looked like a clay red hunter and you know it!) was beaten up top by heat vision and gravity(more powerthan Thanos with the ig???At least Thanos kept his hovering chair so gravity remained beaten!), and then on earth the other bad monitor(not Mandrakk) got staked and heat visioned to death.

Kyle Rayner should've been on the case since wednesday.

It was stated several times that the singularity and subsequent destruction of space/time was caused by Darkseid.

Even IF the fall was not under his own power, the singularity and dragging down the multiverse and warping the multiverse were obviously extensions of his power.

He got beat by a hyper adapting doomsday weapon that can adapt to overcome ANY power and he didn't die to gravity he was ****ing consumed by the overvoid.

He fell into the Overvoid, after he got blasted by heat vision.

I never claimed he was above those,however he was very powerful hell the whole reason the multiverse in dc basically wasn't growing is because he was siphoning the energies off and he was going to consume all existence.

Well I think when they say the "War of the New Gods" broke time and space they are referencing at the end of the war it was so extreme and Orion and Darkseids battle at the end when Orion lost and then mortally wounded Darkseid it was then that it was broken as he fell to the Multiverse which caused it to begin to fall apart as his presence is to much for it. Afterwards he began to mold it to his benefit.

He got impaled by a wand, and then was promptly attacked by a higher dimension based robotic construct which is capable of adapting to any power instantly..............who chose to use heat vision to blast Mandrakk, who then fell, lost to the Overvoid.

Because he fell into the overvoid after he was blasted by heat vision.

And the other vampire monitor was defeated by a dose of hv, and then an oan stake.

I don't have to downplay the feats, they downplay themselves........if only he'd worn yellow, amirite?

In all honesty, i'm just being an ass because i see it's annoying people.

I did enjoy Final Crisis to a point more than any recent event(mostly due to the fact that Cap Marvel had a role, and was treated with respect, but we fans of more obscure chars take what we get)but it doesn't lend itself to heights most grandiose in the telling.

I've already given due to the buildup to the climax(loved Superman Beyond aside from the final fight), but when you've got people talking about multiversal destruction, singularities, omega sanctions, anti-life, miracle machines, songs of the universe, monitors and the like, hv seems laughable compared to the company kept throughout the event.

And the fall to the overvoid(big bad can't fly).
