Character + weapon = cosmic threat

I was thinking about the Keeper, who is Silver Surfer with the Quantum Bands who was transformed (in time) into something much more than the sum of his parts and was able to defeat Galactus. The power increase from adding the Quantum Bands was expodential. Another example of this was the High Evolutionary gaining the power and knowledge from Galactus ship. He grew in size, claimed a herald and flew off into space, the implication being that he had become a Galactus level character. (Of course they never explained how he returned to normal power levels, but that's beside the point.)

So, I got to thinking what character weapon combinations would result in an individual who is not just powerful, but a cosmic great? I would open this to characters and weapons of all comic universes. I'll start off with a couple:

Tutinex w/ yellow ring-

His power is that he can instill fear in others and pulled off the incredible feat of installing fear in Thor during battle, something that just does not happen. Physically he's already in the elite tier.

Sentry w/ mind gem-

My theory is that he could stabilize his fractured psyche, full understand his power and because a universal force for good....or bad. He aready managed to make the world forget about him!

Who else ya got? Remember to say why or else it's not worth it.

I liked your idea of Sentry and the Mind Gem. I don't know if it would actually fix his psyche but it would be quite cool.

I don't see why he couldn't use it to gain a greater understanding and absolve himself of mental issues and mental blocks.

Because the Void doesn't disappear as soon as he has the Mind Gem. He'll have even better Mind related powers but it's not going to fix his psyche. That requires something the Mind Gem can't offer.

The way I see it, Sentry had defeated the Void persona until Osborne gave him the serum, so with the mind gem, he should be able to take the next step. Remember Strange and Frost tried to help him mentally. But I agree it's not a guarantee and I also didn't say the Void would disappear just because he has it. I think he could help himself in that regard. Also, he could probably get better insight on his powers.

The Starbrand protects the universe dude. A novice Starbrand wielder was taking on multiple heralds, so don't tell me the power wouldn't upgrade Superman significantly.

Not the Ellis/Hickman Failbrand, which is the current one (it's entire previous history up to New Universal has been retconned). It's been stated on panel multiple times that it's nothing more than a 'planetary' defense system.


Those heralds were holding back and he did NO lasting damage to them. WWIII Black Adam has taken on a far more impressive team than Starbrand ever has. There are other high heralds that have taken on multiple herald level beings and looked good.

Holding back or not he was tanking their blows. You bringing up an amped Black Adam is utterly laughable. Kevin was someone who had just gained the power by accident, nothing like BA. Superman would be a pure monster with the power.

I'm not arguing with your overall point about Superman, but you know that if a character is holding back..well yeah, he tanked their blows. The problem is we have no way of knowing how strong those blows are if we know they were holding back.

I did not read the comic, so I don't know if they even actually come out and say they were holding back, but if they do..well hard to judge how much power they were using. Unless there was damage to the surroundings as well, that would give an idea.

EARTH X is an incredible story but the breadth of it hasn't really been explored. It was a trilogy by Ross and when you take the entire tale into account it's tremendous!

There are many great highlights that fit fans specualtions over several decades.

The first 30 seconds that Kevin even had the brand, he shot the Hulk into space like a rag doll. The Brand works like a Lantern's ring except not by will and imagination alone, it also makes the Brand user virtually immortal. Superman would become monstrous with that weapon.

Yeah, but it's only in his immediate area. I heard about how he altered Psylocke, so I'm not sure how/why she was able to keep the changes he made to her. But the Ka stones would probably make him "The" reality warper in Marvel. Definitly above MJJ.

But wiki says he eventually moved beyond being limited to the immediate area. Wiki is always correct. The only thing even more correcter is if Marvel says it. Or a Marvel databook. Or strangely enough, J.K. Rowling. I know, I don't get it either.

Which gives it a little more importance than simple "Planetary"

Jamie has controlled entire universes from outside said universes.

Jamie has performed several universal feats. He even pulled the strings of the WHR. (multiversal nexus)

Jamie's future-self (which is 616 Jamie in the future) was an omniversal power.

^^ Interesting. Although, at best we can surmise it's possibly universal from his description.
Imo, until we see how far this "alteration" (for heralds) goes, there's no way to be certain what he means.

It may be akin to the Quantum Bands, the weapon for would be "universal protectors."
While the Q Bands themselves are far from universal range influence. (as in universal control)
But, Quasar was able to jump across a universe or multiverse in an instant.

I'm just saying it's more important than mere "planetary" would imply. Plus it has to defend a planet important on the universal scale as well.

It's schematics, but it's something.

Plus it outright killed a Beyonder with raw power when it finally ascended/unleashed all its power in a suicide blast, so that's more impressive anyway. Even if it was just a Cube Being level Beyonder.

I haven't gotten around to that read yet good friend.

I've heard snippets here and there, but, I wasn't aware it killed a "Cube Being level" entity.

Just curious, how do we know that Beyonder was that powerful?
Or is it the human "kryptonite" plot coming into play here? (I'm out the loop fill me in)

Or is it the human "kryptonite" plot coming into play here? (I'm out the loop fill me in) That kryptonite thing is just zopzop. It's never said in the comic, and it's a twisting of Brevoort's words, which should carry no weight anyway. Hickman never said anything along those lines.

All that's said is that they were physical iirc at the time. Which made them more vulnerable, or malleable.

But the Cube Being is just me going with "at least". By all implications, it was the abstract killing being as the ones that fought LT. I'm just going with the assumption that we'll get more information in the future and that those Beyonders will be Child Units. If not... then, it's higher.

Which, no matter if it was an incredibly high feat (it was), or an incredibly low feat (it was), it happened. And it's a better feat than Gruenwald ever wrote with his butchering of the Starbrand.

If we go by the assumption that some sort of enlightened form operates at this level, or if it's all its energy released, then it's decidedly above "planetary" labels either way.
