HEART OF THE UNIVERSE AS WIELDED BY THANOS

THE PRESENCE

READY,

Thanos easily absorbs all of the dcu. That's what makes up the presence and Thanos has already shown this ability.

Presence.

I've seen Thanos capture Eternity and LT plus every other god in stasis before. Not TOAA though.

Slaanesh
Presence is equal to TOAA which means he is > HOTU

That's what makes up the Presence?

Seems strange seeing how The Presence existed before there was any universe or dimensions of any kind and then created it all :/

-Pr-
Last I checked, the Presence wasn't part of the Multiverse. Unless someone wants to correct me?

Presence wins by being THE supreme being. That said, HOTU would shit stomp Spectre with ease

Didn't they say that the Presence knew what was going on all alone. He just choose not to interfere, and the power Cronos came in contact with was just a small portion.

TricksterPriest
Cronos, much like Asmodel, was outmaneuvered. Granted, they wrecked havoc for awhile, but ultimately, when it came down to it, The Presence was able to step in and put a stop to it the moment it decided to intervene.

Cronus wasn't up to the task of taking that much power and it drive him over the edge. Thanos has already shown himself quite capable of wielding supreme power.

No, not really. The Presence is the almighty God of DC, but he is NOT the writer. For all we know, the god referenced in "the End" is the god within the comics, as opposed to the writer.

He DID get out of what he had become. Did you ever read his mini?

King Kandy
Originally posted by TricksterPriest

Has nothing to do with being smart... you claimed that he had ZERO omniscience and omnipresence, and I posted a scan of him having exactly those characteristics... you are simply wrong, your claim directly contradicts what is stated on panel.

TricksterPriest
Yeah, by suicide. He even admitted he got suckered into doing TOAA's job.

Edit: Ok. I was wrong. But he wasn't fully omniscient by his own admission. Otherwise, he would have noticed the trap. Or figured out how to fix it without killing himself, etc.

King Kandy
Originally posted by TricksterPriest

He didn't kill himself. He is alive and well at the start of his mini and just made himself look like he died.

TricksterPriest
He at the very least had to arrange his own ressurection and destroy the power of HOTU. It's a technical suicide.

King Kandy
Originally posted by TricksterPriest

Its a "technical suicide" = he got out of it without having to kill himself like he thought he would.

That's what i'd call escaping the trap.

Look, bottom line is that Thanos was healthy as a horse after the events of "The End"... the only thing he lost was a power he ended up realizing he didn't want in the first place.

TricksterPriest
He didn't get to keep ultimate power. I'd call that a win for that universe, and a loss for Thanos.

Yes I've read it, and NO he never got out of what he became.... Considering he had to commit suicide to accomplish the feat, have you read the whole thing?

He didn't want to keep the power. He was tricked into taking it in the first place. I'm not claiming he wasn't tricked, but he most definitely did get out of it fine in the end.

He tells Warlock he was not hiding he was being reconstituted with his divine might waning (recreating the universe) as he granted himself life assuring wishes.. So yes he did. He thought he had overcome God of MU's will when nothing like that ever happened.

Um... so basically you're saying he was able to get out of it just fine in the end. I don't see why its supposed to be some kind of failure on his part since he had no trouble getting around it.

Originally posted by TricksterPriest

OK... so what? Its not like that was a problem given that he just came right back. That's like saying resurrection man 1M is the weakest character ever because he has to commit suicide to use his powers. Just because you can apply the word suicide means nothing, in this context there is no permanence or harm that would actually give that word a negative connotation.

He had to unless he would miss his chance at restarting everything at the end of time and he would be alone in the void forever.. It was just a learning process for him to grow and not to crave power. I'd admit he didn't lose at the end and everyone got what they wanted, even Eternity! laughing out loud

Right... it was pretty much the furthest thing from losing... everyone including Thanos himself was better off because of him "committing suicide".

He wasn't as asmodel had nothing singular to attack which would only make it easier for Thanos to absorb.

no, my point makes sense in that since he's also The Baker, all Thanos is eating *is* The Cake, and that doesnt mean it includes The Baker as well.

the statement that Hes "in everything" does not mean thats all that he is, and that panel doesnt allude to that being the case either.

Lucifer series. Ellaine Belloc... Case and point Presence left creation and went on to other things IIRC resulting in her taking Michaels power. The universe was falling apart without the Presence because he left. If the presence can leave a universe than it is clearly not a part of him. will dig for the issues but yeah.

That's not canon to the dcu. Didio pretty much said as much and even that presence was shaped by external forces stated plain as day on panel.

All you had to do there is sit on his throne and take over as supreme being. Do you want to argue that presence vs. thanos with the heart ? I can sure do that.

You're using the quote he was shaped by forces external him from the Lucifer comic that is noncanon to DCU. but you're saying using THe Presence leaving the universe is noncanon. You can't have it both ways. By the way in the Lucifer comic said that God's name was in every fabric of creation. Which is why when he leaves that creation unravels. That explains why Asmodel said that God's name was in everything. Besides I doubt Asmodel is the end all authority on the nature of God considering he turned against him.

Asmodel learns this by way of his conversation with the angel. I am arguing against the vertigo presence since he brought it up but at the same time saying all of lucy's series doesn't pertain to the dcu.

You can't cite that series for the dcu presence but if you want to argue for vertigo's presence I can switch gears.

yes, the Presence is the Presence; we can all read here.

and no, Creation *might* be lost but since the Presence would still be around; that he didnt move to stop Azmodel says nothing as there really wasnt any need to.

Tazer In a future arc with Cronus he took the presence's power from heaven so Thanos can do just the same and absorb all of creation. Nothing the presence can do.

if another omniscient being used THOTU, he'd stalemate the presence/overmonitor. thanos, despite slowly growing into omniscience, wasnt really up there.

and he died ultimately failed in the attempt due to not being strong enuff to handle that much power as I recall, and I *also* dont remember the Presence fighting him at all, not that He couldnt.........but that He just didnt.

theres nothing in that story which says the Presence was helpless or defenseless; if anything, it simply shows Cronus beating himself.

so, do U have any other instances of the Presence not fighting U'd like to use as proof of "Presence <<< THOTI"?? laughing

Lol Quan has a funny memory.

It wasn't the Presence's power, it was the Godwave. And when Cronus /w Godwave did storm the Silver City (not Heaven) and briefly touched the mind of the Lord of the Silver City (possibly the Presence, possibly a lesser but similar being, DC isn't always clear on that) he nearly went mad because he realized it was too much power and too vast for anyone, even a God like him to comprehend.

Tazer The presence doesn't seem like he chooses to fight and lets these things occur. Thanos however will indeed absorb all of reality which he has shown the ability to do. Just because you don't like the outcome doesn't make it any more unlikely to happen.

It was stated as the presence' power not the godwave. His sickle was destroyed by WW before he took on this power. I'm right your wrong as usual.

at no point did I say Thanos couldnt absorb Creation; wat Ive BEEN saying is that just cuz he does so doesnt mean he absorbs the all of The Presence with it.

Tazer It says right on panel what made up the presence and what combat feats does the presence have since he's in this thread and there's no way Thanos can't get to him.

Tazer

no, its says that hes in everything that makes up Creation, not that Creation makes up all of Him; 2 diff things entirely

Tazer Then what else is he ? He's in this thread to fight so point me to any scans or issues where it explains the essence of what the presence is better than paradise lost.

Tazer
Yo.

explaining the essence of the Presence doesnt constitute "battle scan" for Him, and as far as I know there arent any..........which makes this whole thread moot really.

Tazer I have two stories where they address the presence and Thanos easily wins as you have no evidence as to suggest why or even how the presence wins.

Tazer
Yo.

I *never said* the Presence wins, nor was that ever my point.

my only point was to illustrate that yur argument ment of "THOTI-Thanos eats da all Creation; HE AM WINZ!!!" is a faulty judgement based on the evidence provided.

Tazer No, because the angel quickly went to the presence's defense by not allowing asmodel to destroy creation. The scans make my case for me.

Tazer
Yo.

there was nothing to defend; Azmodel wouldnt have been able to do anything, so no it *doesnt* make yur case for ya.

Tazer If his actions were irrelevant the angel wouldn't have cared and would have stated it wouldn't matter but as the scan shows he resides in everything and the only way asmodel was going to attack him was by attacking all of creation which Thanos can do.

Superherovandal
Just because the angel tried to stop asmodel doesn't mean that Presence is only within creation. I honestly doubt the angels believe that Asmodel could do anything to God. However, I'm sure that the angel prolly wanted to protect its father's creation.

Tazer
Yo.

as a member of the Eagle Host, its actually w/in Zauriel character to talk things out, especially given all the chaos Azmodel was causing; that Az's actions were ultimately futile was just a matter of happenstance.

Tazer In heaven but attacking creation itself was explained to him by the angel Asmodel didn't know this and when he realized it his wrath was going to be at creation itself.

That ball that the Presence is holding is creation. Even if Thanos absorbs it, the Presence still destroys him. People act as if Thanos was above TOAA when he absorbed the heart, but he wasn't. He was too inexperienced and his will was still inferior to that of a supreme being. He only absorbed what he did because TOAA allowed him to. Iirc, Thanos even admits it.

The Presnce is in the little ball that he is holding, but he is also outside and apart from it.

@ Sirius

This is vertigo's presence which didio has stated as a stand alone universe not to be confused with the dcu's presence.

Sirius77
It depends on which presence that we're all referring to. Because DC only has one. If we're referring to the Primal Moniter, then the Primal Moniter stomps, as thanos absorbing his dreams (everything/ "story"wink wouldn't affect him. He'd just think up more I guess. It's like your subconscious thoughts trying to fight your physical body. They're intangible and able to be manipulated by their source, i.e the Presence/ Primal Moniter.

sure he wanted to tear down Everything, but that doesnt mean his actions (if possible) wouldve gotten the result he (or *U*, in this case) wanted......

once again I repeat: consuming the Cake doesnt mean the Baker is swallowed along w/it.

Tazer The presence is in this fight and the scan proves my case. You keep acting like the presence isn't a part of all of creation and a baker doesn't reside in his cake. Think.

no, it really doesnt and Ive said nothing of the sort.

perhaps *U* should be the 1 to try thinking........

Tazer The scan clearly points out how and in the ww cronus storyline we see cronus take the presence's power which Thanos can also do while in heaven.
