How can you possibly use the GE in a vs match?

All we know about it is that by some unknown power it was able to stalemate Galactus for an unknown amount of time. That's literally it.

But CA Superman anyway.

Yet in issue #6 Galactus alone was taking on the Engine.

And your second statement is just a huge assumption, for all we know the engine is full of energy from not only a dead Galactus, but also all of the many angled ones etc.

But either way, the Cosmic Armour was pretty much the ultimate weapon...

One the other hand we've seen the Galactus engine in use on panel on about 3 pages, and most recently Galactus was stalemating it.

Whereas Supes with the CA was able to fight the original Mandrakk.
So unless you're saying Galactus is as powerful as Mandrakk, the GE can't really compete.

why is mandrakk more powerful than galactus? he was something like the hunger who would imo lose to a fully powered galactus.

Nightmare is a Dr. Strange villain, who the hell are we going to use as a measuring stick if not him? Dr. Strange is constantly fighting beings with power superior to his own. Dormammu, Umar, Zom, Death, Eternity, Shuma Gorath, The In-Betweener etc. Nightmare is one of the few enemies consistently portrayed from day one as Strange's inferior in power. He is just not all that strong, period.

Besides Prime also scared Mxy...and we all know how powerful Mxy is. Prime's jobber aura means little.

Why is it that no one seems to understand that they were totally different entities? Anyone who actually grasped the story understands the VAST difference between the versions of Mandrakk.

...But it's still worth mentioning that while Mandrakk II was exponentially weaker than the original incarnation, he was still able to own Spectre and Radiant combined. ie. his powers were still insanely uber by 'normal' standards.

Remember, once he reached THAT level of power, the only thing in all creation capable of stopping him was the Cosmic Armor (a weapon of his own design.)

He started eating stories during his imprisonment? Isn't the point of imprisoning people to stop stuff like that?

Galan007
^ He had been feasting on the Bleed ever since he was imprisoned.

Superman noted such in this page:

And it was noted again on the same page you posted before:
http://img717.imageshack.us/i/manny2.jpg/

Essentially, the Monitors were giving Mandrakk a constant supply of the Bleed in order to sate him enough that he didn't try to break out of his tomb and begin devouring existence.

And yet also staked by a gl lantern so nowhere near as uber as you would have me believe. It just is a very low showing for the Spectre but let's face it he's had his fair share of bad showings look at how he was impotent against the death thing in blackest night, Nekron.

Its not exactly an abstract level showing. Galactus has beaten down teams of similar size.

Philosophía
We don't know the circumstances in which Dax Novu was imprisoned before he became Mandrakk - except that he was the greatest of the Monitor race, the 'radiant one' - a Lucifer analogue and was the first one to make contact with the concept of story.

Furthermore, upon closer examination of the story from SB, it is highly suggested that Dax Novu chose to be imprisoned. He did afterall build the Superman Armor whose sole purpose was to oppose him, the ultimate enemy of existence, and the narration clearly states that he was the one "Who wrestled the angel of contamination who gave his life to chain the best in the darkness."

But ultimately what he was before is irrelevant - he was transformed into Mandrakk and he rose above the Monitors and became the ultimate enemy of existence. He was as beyond them as CA Superman was, each of them becoming stronger to face the other.

The actual Kalibak is like all New Gods a higher dimension being who takes physical form to interact with the DCU.

Which wasn't my point. You were acting like the defeat of his avatar body was the same as the defeat of his higher dimension soul self.

That just isn't the case.

It's almost like arguing that WWH defeating Zom possessed Strange would be the same as defeating the actual Zom. Tawky Tawny can't disembowel a Higher Dimensional being, but he can disembowel a construct body created on Earth.

Galactus can end reality with the press of his un.

Except at the moment Strange channeled his power Zom couldn't enter either.

And in either case you dodged the actual point of the comparison.

I'm just saying that we have seen a New God fall straight from the 4th World to the mainstream DCU -- and he nearly succeeded in dragging the entire multiverse down with him as a side effect of his fall.

New Gods are more powerful then you give them credit for.

New Gods are more powerful then you give them credit for. That's just an effect of him entering that reality not his power level. It's like legion where Ds was picked out from the timestream and it almost ended all reality it had nothing to do with Darkseid's power just offsetting the balance.

Like the hyperbole of thanos with IG being omnipotent? wink

7 in the main series.

Of the many tie-ins the ones I recommend are Requiem, Superman Beyond 1+2, and Revelations.

Start with Seven Soldiers. The don't belong there that's it. Darkseid can't just overpower reality he doesn't belong in this reality so in this story he was wrecking reality simply by being there.

In his 'true'/4th World form, Darkseid HAS overpowered reality, so therefore he can. But if he's scaled down via boom tube, then generally speaking, he cannot.

Yup. Gives a lot of backstory. I disagree, he slipped through which caused the problems but at this point it will be a back and forth kinda thing.

Morrison pretty much retconned the New Gods though in Final Crisis in terms of what they were at their core.

He took (I believe the giant thing was Simonson's idea) and turned it up to eleven.

PR Beyonder was kind of similar in concept to the Primal Monitor.

He's probably jealous that you work at an actual gas station. He just works at the Blimpie next to a gas station.
