It didn't wipe them out, but caused them to retreat from the battlefield, which is an insanely impressive feat in itself, seeing how individual Celestials are peers to universal powers.

Galactus Engine beats up multiple Celestials, Arishem, TnA, and Galactus.

Imperiex gets beat up by Superman merged with Kismet, Darkseid, and atom bombs (if they played a part at all). And then got contained by Kyle

Obviously Imperiex wins easily

Obviously Imperiex wins easily When you take things out of contextx anything can appear weak. Say for example, Reed> Galactus.

That a handful of Celestials created the multiverse? That's not really relevant to the fights, but if you want to include it...

A celestial got killed by Thor's axe and Mr. Sinister controlled the most powerful of them. Obviously they are shit. Imperiex wins easily. Also lulz @ touting kismet merged superman breaching prime's armor is a low feat. Kyle didn't contained him, warworld absorbed his energies.

Let's not pretend Imperiex could do that. Although she admittedly sucks unless she gets to use her death touch...

Imperiex Prime headbutts the Galactus Engine with all his might and promptly knocks himself out.

Lulz. Go ahead and ignore me. See if I care. was the universe still deathless? The MAO werent actually in that universe but corrupted it from their home outside of time or whatever. did they actually show up on avengers assemble? looks like I got some downloading to do, but I don't recall TI ever stating that every single thing in that universe was insta-killed by death, but maybe my memory is off.

Diesldude
TI showed that death was universal. They were able to kill the death of cancerverse by killing her champion. There was a purpose/context behind that. Similarly this death was able to serve her purpose in the cancerverse, that purpose was greater than all the celestials, galactus or abstracts that were fighting the MAOs and their hoard.

See the planets and stars? That enormous 'thing' in your scan isn't the MAOs, friend. That is the Cancerverse itself(hence why the Avengers only mention seeing the Cancerverse, and not the MAOs.)

Quasar had taken note of this fact much earlier in the saga:

"I see it now! I see it all! Their universe! Disgusting! An abomination! Pulsing with corrupt life! One giant, twisted organic mass! Their whole universe is a deathless corpse! A cancer trying to metastasize into our reality!"

The space around the Cancerverse(in both of our scans) is evidently just the rest of the dimension it is housed in. /shrug

The "thing" is referred to as "one giant, twisted organic mass!" in your scans. I am pretty sure that those creatures are merely the Deathless Abominations which originally infested the Cancerverse, and the rest of the dimension is the Cancerverse. Didn't the Avengers and the GotG fall through the Fault in the previous pages of that Assemble issue?

Yeah. I think that since the Death of that universe was permanently exorcised from that reality, 616-Death's antigenic effect was probably only temporary and the life in that universe went back to being the monstrous blobs they were before Thanos Imperative.

He's staring at the enormous 'thing', and makes the following statement:
"I see it now!"
"I see it all!"
"Their universe!"
"Disgusting!"
"An abomination!"
"Pulsing with corrupt life!"
"One giant, twisted organic mass!"
"Their whole universe is a deathless corpse!"
"A cancer trying to metastasize into our reality!"
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15818610/rok_25-26.jpg.html

Clearly the grotesque mass Quasar was looking at was the entire Cancerverse.

That is why the Avengers also referred to the same grotesque mass explicitly as "the Cancerverse":
http://s3d3.turboimagehost.com/t1/15818971_b3.jpg

To further solidify my point, here's a bio on the Cancerverse:
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15818964/img008.jpg.html
"The universe became a gigantic, twisted, organic mass that has been consumed by the Many-Angled Ones."


So again: that 'thing'/'mass' is the Cancerverse.

A lot of people say things about Imperiex and I am trying to see if he is capable of beating someone/something so powerful.

Galan007
While I have no doubt that Imperiex can unleash a massive/large-scale Entropy rift, he never actually did so on panel-- thus I cannot call it an 'in character' tactic for him. For that reason alone, the GE wins.

However, IF Imperiex were to unleash an Entropy rift, he wins. In DC, Entropy>Death-- we saw this when Black Flash(ie. Death) was literally erased by running into Entropy.

I don't dispute the "in character" tactic theory, but you've got to apply it to both sides.

We never actually saw the Galactus Engine unleash any attack of any kind. All we got were accounts of 616's "Abstracts" (who weren't abstracts /shrug) struggling to hold it back.

Galan007
^ True, but in defense of the GE, multiple universal powers were containing it throughout the entire event... It really couldn't attack.

Heck, the simple fact that it took multiple universal powers just to keep the GE at bay, speaks volumes about its power.

All true, but we know jack shit about it's offensive power except that it was "weaponized", whatever the hell that means.

Galan007
Can't deny that. Logically, though, I'd imagine it would be on par(from an offensive standpoint) with the same universal powers that it took to contain it. /shrug

Maybe. It also took DC's version of Eternity (Kismet) and Imperiex's own power turned against him (Aegis) to defeat him. It took Entropy to destroy the shell containing entropy. Can the GE replicate that kind of firepower before Imperiex destroys him?

Remember, Imperiex destroyed entire galaxies easily before the likes of Superman and co. got involved, so he's got some seriously potent offensive feats working on his side.

However, given that its battle with the 'abstracts' took place primarily on a metaphysical plane of actuality that not even Surfer or Quasar could perceive, it certainly comes off as powerful enough to stalemate multiple universal powers simultaneously, imo:

I understand where you're coming from, but in the Assemble scans, it appears more like they refer to the new universe they have appeared in as the Cancerverse, and then find out the reason(that ugly, monstrous, organic blob) why it's referred so.

Also, while the bio reference is good, I doubt Bendis gave that any thought when he wrote that issue.

In any case, I'd appreciate if you could confirm whether the Fault was mentioned in that Avengers Assemble issue.

Plus, before you go ahead and accuse me of arguing just to argue, I'd like to point out that's not the case here. I am just sharing my opinion, and seeking out clarifications(the Fault thing) here.

Edit: Seeing how you managed to shut abhi up with this explanation, I might as well drop this discussion with you. /shrug

All the cosmic entities(Galactus, the Celestials, Aegis and Tenebrous) were referred as "Abstracts" in that comic, that is why Galan is also calling them "Abstracts" here.

The Galactus Engine was portrayed as being very powerful, with only the higher level Many-Angled Ones being implied as its superiors. Defeating the GE and the MAOs is considered like Mistress Death's top feat ever.

Scan of Imperiex releasing an entropy rift large enough to erase the GE in its entirety?

Mr Master
^^ That "whiteness" is where Death ceases to exist and where "time-space" ends.

It's no different than being "Beyond space-time" in Marvel. (where "death" is meaningless)

I don't get what's the big deal about that place.

Unless something's happening withIn the "whiteness?"

Branlor Swift
Didn't Tim Trapier tank an entropic blast?

And don't the Probes release entropy when they blow up? As well as Brainiac tech holding Imperiex when he kablammoed, and Kyle Gaynerd contained him as we'll for a short period of time?

Galan007
^ The big deal is that in DC, absolutely nothing can survive entropy-- not even Black Flash(as the scan zop posted depicts.) This is important because Black Flash=a personification of Death: ie. in DC, entropy>Death.

Regardless, Imperiex never used entropy in such a way, thus it shouldn't be considered 'in character' for him here. Imo.

He doesn't just go around throwing large-scale entropy rifts at his foes for the lulz.

In fact, the only instance I can recall in which Imperiex even utilized entropy in an offensive manner was when he killed Doomsday. However, that was a very small entropic blast-- certainly not large enough to cause any significant damage to the massiveness that is the GE.

You just proved Team Imperiex's point. He HAS unleashed an entropic rift attack.

Just because the target of his attack was roughly a human sized object doesn't mean he couldn't open a larger rift vs a larger opponent. He's the goddamn embodiment of Entropy. mad

Branlor Swift
The blast didn't even destroy DD's skeleton, nor was it said to be entropy IIRC.

He's still never unleashed a massive entropy rift, despite having multiple opportunities to do so. Therefore, it absolutely should not be considered 'in character' tactic for him to release an entropy rift several miles in breadth(the GE certainly appeared to be that large to me.)

And like bran pointed out: the blast Imperiex used wasn't even stated to be entropic in nature-- I am just assuming it was. It very well may have been some other type of energy, though, given that DD's skeleton was still left intact. After all, when DD was dropped into 'true' entropy at the end of the H/P saga, it erased him utterly and completely-- absolutely nothing of him remained... And considering Brainiac went back in time and saved him from that fate during Doomsday Wars(which negated the potential for DD to adapt to said energy, assuming it would even be possible), 'true' entropy should have still had the same effect on DD during the Imperiex affair-- it should have erased DD in his entirety. /shrug

I don't see the word entropy anywhere in that scan.

laughing out loud well, it's an issue when that feats being used to say he beats a nigh planet sized being that was tanking attacks from people who could do the same thing to Doomsday

None of those beings are entropic or have the power of the big bang. Not that they couldn't beat him but it show's how powerful DD is at that time. Just one blast from Imperiex was all it took to devastate Apokolips.

And Imperiex has the power of a big bang if he unleashes everything, which iirc was said to be stolen power from galaxies as well...

You realize that with the size of the attack that he unleashed on Warworld, that if it was entropy, and entropy is the be all end all attack, that he should have ripped Apokalips in half?
Although it was said to be a massive EMP.

But I see we're attributing Brainiac's feats with a planet full of tech and Imperiex's powers to Imperiex solely.
How about that getting overpowered by Superman? How about a being who got beat by Dominus adding her might to Superman's and destroying his armor and thus defeating him in the process? How about Kyle containing the explosion for a short period of time? Brainiac tech capable of not being disintegrated by the energy.

Etc.

Imperiex wins because of his power source... when his power source wasn't shown to be very impressive in the arc itself. That's what's happening in this thread. It's not something he did, it's just his power source.

I don't have scans on me right now, but the destroyed galaxies in OWAW were shown just as empty black space. Are we not led to believe they were utterly destroyed by entropy, even if it wasn't explicitly shown on panel? What else would so completely destroy galaxies?

So Imperiex Prime can hold his own/get the upper hand against the combined forces of a bunch of celestials, Tenebrous, Aegis, and Galactus? Galactus or a high-end celestial alone would wreck Imperiex, let alone all of these guys together.

Rage.Of.Olympus
I honestly don't even know if Imperiex could beat a fed Galactus in a fight.

Not sure how he has a chance against the Galactus Engine? Didn't it take most of the High End Abstracts to hold it back and almost all of them died in the process?

You're talking about 'the hollowing', no? That certainly wasn't an instantaneous event by any means-- nor did Imperiex himself carry it out, iirc.

Fact is: if Imperiex were capable of gesturely wiping out entire galaxies with a massive, galaxy-sized entropy rift, then overtaking the earth alone would have been a task easily accomplished.

Not true galan. IP did destroy galaxies with entropy.

Yes, I know galaxies were *ultimately* destroyed. This so-called 'Hollowing' was not instantly accomplished, however. That is to say: Imperiex certainly did not pop in and gesturely erase whole galaxies via one massive entropy rift-- his Probes were literally sent to individual planets within the galaxy to 'Hollow' them one by one. We saw this when he 'Hollowed' Maxima's galaxy(a task which evidently took roughly 2 months to complete), and again when he tried 'Hollowing' the earth and it's galaxy. Etc.

Point: if Imperiex could wave his hand and destroy entire galaxies(or even entire planets) via entropy, then there would be no need for him to send Probes to commence said 'Hollowing'-- there would be no need for Imperiex to engage anyone physically. He could simply release large-scale entropy and save himself a LOT of time/effort... But that wasn't the case.

abhilegend
Eradicator saw IP and not the probes destroying galaxies. From your own thread


It was certainly an entropy rift and not hollowers.

There was a reason he didn't destroy earth outright. Earth was the center of the universe and destroying it would've collapsed universe much before its scheduled time IIRC.

carver9
Can someone answer something for me, what was the Imperiex Probe building in space that Superman and Mongul destroyed and what was he using it for? I think I know the answer but I just want to make sure I am correct (I would prefer someone like Galan, Jake, etc, to answer this question).

Exactly.

The GE was killing abstracts and Celestials like nothing.

There was a reason he didn't destroy earth outright. Earth was the center of the universe and destroying it would've collapsed universe much before its scheduled time IIRC. Again, I am fully aware that galaxies were *ultimately* destroyed, but the task was not instantaneous by any means, nor did Imperiex himself pop-in and casually destroy said galaxies with an entropy rift. He used a process called 'Hollowing'-- and as Maxima commented: Hollowing a galaxy takes hours, even under optimal conditions(ie. no outside interference.) Furthermore, Hollowing was a process carried out, in full, by Imperiex's constructs. A bunch of these constructs are placed on a planet, they continue to grow at an exponential rate until they connect, and then KABLOOEY, there goes the neighborhood/planet-- the definition of a chain reaction:

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/15840106/2.jpg.html

And as the above scans confirm, Imperiex wanted to destroy the universe prematurely(180,000,000,000 years prematurely, to be exact), thus he was actively trying to destroy the earth with his Hollowers.

The Probe was building a construct/machine in hopes of using it to destroy "most of" the solar system:

Imperiex had one of his Probes build a machine just to destroy a portion of the solar system... Yet he can supposedly erase entire galaxies with the wave of his hand? Hmm. none

He wasn't erasing it, so much as he was collapsing it and transforming it into energy - and then restarting the cycle.

So it's not so much that he could or could not release entropy and annihilate the Universe, as much as it was the fact that was not his intent.

Galactus, Aegis, Tenebrous and a large horde of Celestials failed to push it back, let alone defeat it.

Aegis got seemingly destroyed during the battle, while the rest of the Abstracts retreated, leaving only Galactus to defend at the Fault.

It's not clear cut. The battle was taking place on a metaphysical level, and her physical body being shattered by a bunch of fodder MAOs(who were getting one-shotted by Quasar and Surfer in that issue), was in all likelihood the manifestation of her defeat at the hands(or rather appendages) of the GE.

Maybe. We'll likely never know for sure. Either way, Aegis is the only known "abstract" that was killed, and she's not that impressive.

That said, absorbing the assault of the the 616 group is most impressive.

We know for sure that it was overwhelming the Abstracts in their metaphyscial battle. We know for sure that it forced eevry single Abstract(sans Galactus) to retreat from the battlefield.

So yeah, that's not all it did.
