dial J for Josh
Hello all, I have been enjoying my time on kmc and am learning a lot from you guys. Just want to start by saying thank you for kindness and I am looking forward to engaging in conversation in which we can all benefit from.
With that out of the way I was waiting for the right moment to create this thread, but then grew anxious so decided to proceed. I have always loved the character design as well as the concept of the Hyperion character, but I felt that as a character he really fell short in the hands of certain writers. What also disappointed me was the way he started to get over saturated with his numerous counterparts in multiple different universes, imo doing this to the character started to make him lose substance. This is why I am very excited that Jonathan Hickman picked up the character, and has completely revamped him. Many may say "Great another Hyperion" but Hickman has given this new Hyperion a clean slate with none of the history of his predecessors, which opens the door for many opportunities (it would be very exciting to see him duke it out with the sentry and the blue marvel for the first time since both characters are back, but I digress.) Without further a due I present to you the Hyperion Durabilty test.
Being relatively new to comics Hyperion's astonishing feat of preventing two universes from collapsing by holding them in a neutral state, as well as surviving the destruction of two universes from point blank range unscratched is the greatest strength/durability feat that I have personally seen. Since Hyperion can survive a catastrophic event such as this let's see how he fairs against the following attacks! Hyperion must stand still and take each attack as it is coming at him. Hyperion also gets to brace himself for each attack by tightening up his muscles.
* Your job is to say whether these attacks:
- Does not phase Hyperion at all.
- Seriously rocks Hyperion, but is still conscience.
- Knocks Hyperion clean out.
- Kills Hyperion.
* There are 10 test, so to make matters easier make a list from 1-10 then state your answer.
The Sentry: Bob gives Hyperion the exact same dive-bomb attack from space
that he gave the Blue Marvel which knocked him out.

Thor & Beta Ray Bill: Thor is on the right side of Hyperion's head and Beta Ray
Bill is on the left. They both lift their hammers and as
hard as they possibly can they both strike his skull
simultaneously, sandwiching his skull from each side.
Thor: Thor harnesses all of his energy and delivers to Hyperion his most
powerful God-blast.
Terrax: Terrax lifts his cosmic axe and swings a planet slicing slash at Hyperion.
Ultron: 100 of Ultrons sentries line up in a uniform circle 100 yards in the air
they amp themselves up to reign down their most powerful Encephelo
beams to Hyperion and hold their fire for one full minute.
Zom Strange: Remember the devastating blows that Zom Strange hit World
War Hulk with? Simply replace WWH with Hyperion.

World-Breaker Hulk: Replace Sentry from the first dive-bomb attack with
WBH. Hulk has gained so much velocity from this
dive-bomb attack that as he comes down from the
atmosphere his body catches on fire as he lands into
Hyperion. This is done on an indestructible planet to
ensure that the collision is clean.
Blackbolt: On an indestructible planet which core is made out of a adamantium/
Vibranium hybrid to endure stability, Blackbolt grabs Hyperion by
both of his shoulders and squeezes them as hard as he can. Then he
does not whisper but screams as loud as he can to the top of his
lungs for 15 seconds straight, in his face.
Galactus: When Galactus was fighting four giant celestials he grabbed one of
them by the head and used his Power Cosmic to knock him out.
Replace that celestials head with Hyperion's body.

The Builders: This is the finale. From the first issue of Infinity the brave knights of the planet Galador put forth a great effort in defending their home world. But out of no where the builders spawn a purification cannon which instantaneously obliterates a world. Place Hyperion alongside the Space Knights and innocent civilians as the planet gets destroyed in poetic fashion.
~End Test.
I am looking forward to seeing all of your answers. now GO!!!!
