Beat Mordru easily. Getting called in the same class as Infinite Man and Time Trapper.

What has Odin done? Stalemated by Jane Thor whole being bloodlusted?

We don't see exactly how he defeated him. For all we know he could have utilized his weakness, with which even Superboy has beaten him in the past. Also the whole GDS was questionable to begin with since he absorbed artifacts prior.

We've debated this in the past I think, but ill repeat:

1) Getting called in the same class means jack squat. They were referring to his threat level. And Darkseid is best known for GDS in the legion continuity so they're obviously referring to that version.

2) When those statements were being made TT hadn't performed his top feats iirc.

3) Any villain worth a damn was called as being in the same class as TT back in the days. Stargrave is an example, and he was only trans level.

Darkseid has a bunch of nice feats, BFRing IM and sealing the entire dimension; he also created and uncreated Validus (although it's questionable whether he was amped), swatted the black racer, but he simply hasn't been nearly as impressive as Odin.

You summed up Odin's history pretty nicely. No argument there thumb up

I know my post isn't as constructive and objective as yours but take a look at my collection of Odin's feats:

Bullshit.




Another lowball, eh? Stargrave had only lip service. Darkseid actually put Mon-El into coma with one blast which neither Trapper nor an amped Infinite Man could do that.



Its quite opposite. Odin has never been as impressive as Darkseid.





Good to know. Compare Jane Thor making him bounce around solar system like a ping pong ball to Darkseid oneshotting Mon-el into coma.

If only I gave a shit about space cheese.

So he defeated him off-panel, not sure why you're showing me this. Either way though

1) he had already absorbed artifacts

2) Odin > Mordru.

3) we see Mordru basically buried. Which is his weakness. If he's buried/isolated he becomes powerless.

Here we go again with the hahas and the bullshits.

You are completely missing the context of these statements. They were referring to GDS darkseid.

Why the hostility?

Tell me again what did TT do till that point? You do realize TT was created as a master mind criminal kind of villain initially and was gradually getting more and more powerful with time. His major feats all occurred after the GDS saga. That much is a fact.

Stargrave sealed dimensional warps and was handling the legionnaires.

Again, amped Darkseid. And TT was toying with Mon-El.

Which didn't come close to bring him at full power.



Not in his wildest dreams.



Its a psychological fear. Its not kryptonite which actually weakens Mordru.






For you that's enough.



Whose power had waned over the years.






Who is hostile?



He wasn't retconned and neither did he become more powerful.

And his power was already shown when stopped Superman from travelling in time and destroyed all possible futures using GL energy in one Superman issue.





So? How is anyone handling the LOSH is merely trans?



He wasn't amped. That's another of your bullshit claims.

Time Trapper was trying to kill Mon-El. And an amped Infinite Man was compared to Darkseid.

This is completely wrong, and ill post scans if you want. Ill prove it beyond all doubt, believe me. TT actually used conventional weaponry in his early appearances in Adventure Comics and was nowhere near the reality warper he became later on. The superman issue which you referenced is a prime example of this. It explicitly stated that he arranged the GL energy to go to the time dimension which you was used to destroy the possible futures. It wasn't even his power that destroyed them.

Not the entire legion. He was handling lightning lad, cosmic boy and sun boy. Doesn't exactly require a skyfather to do that.

You should understand quite easily.





Those are not amps. He is absorbing those items of power and beings to get back at full power and even then his power wasn't what it was at full power.

Yes, it was his power which he used in conjunction with GL energy to destroy all futures.

And I'd like to see the retcon which made him an abstract and the power up which gave him so much more power.

Not to mention, the bios are from 80s where Trapper was established as pretty much an abstract.




Why the need to deception then?





What the? Mon-el survives several attacks from him and actually drives him in the sun.

Compare that to Darkseid who put him into coma with one attack. After no selling his HV.

Odin's mad half was destroying the universe.

Darkseid got destroyed by Firestorm creating a pipe.

That was retconned as Odin tapping into power of Infinity.

Odin was defeated by space Ants and sold into slavery.

As I said before, there wasn't an official retcon, it was a gradual process over time which led TT to become a cosmic being.

This scan from his early encounters with the legion should give you an idea:

Be honest please: Do you think this is shit up there is on the same level as the TT who warped all the timelines?

Are you even reading your own scans:

his personal abilities are not known

Also, these who's who bios are completely retarded in the power level section, they're contradictory. Ultra-Boy's bio says that his abilities are not on the level of Superboy/Mon-el when in comics they were described exactly as such and are proven even. This is just one example.

Btw, since you love bios, I just remembered that ive posted Darkseid's bio which revealed he was amped before, this should have sealed the debate tbh, but naturally it got ignored back then. Here it is again:

Odin dispersed the universe-destroying energies of Surtur.

Darkseid shot himself in the back 3 or 4 times.

In all seriousness I think it's more or less an even split.

Darkseid has some low showings which are mostly a result of him being treated as Superman's big bad. You inevitably end up with a few shit showings when you're the villain.

Odin also has his fair share of low showings which I believe is mostly so that he can't be used to solve every problem in the Thor comics. Similar to how Xavier is always incapacitated thumb up

There is a huge gap in terms of power level between Darkseid in Odin in their depictions. Odin is consistently portrayed as being clearly superior.

He also fled his planet due to a rebellion, Odin would just wave his hand and deal with them all together in an instant. Among other things like being threatened by the forever people. I honestly don't see how they can even be regarded as being close. There's a clear difference in power level. Do you think it's a coincidence that people always refer to GDS when debating about pre-Crisis Darkseid despite him having dozens of other appearances? It's because only in that arc he has good feats which he achieved through various amps. And Darkseid wasn't treated as a "superman big bad" he wasn't even a superman villain pre-Crisis.

Well, you should.

So GLs were what, abstract level in power?

Yeah, he was an ambiguous character at that point.

His power levels didn't just increased overnight.

Anyway, he was called equal to Darkseid post crisis as well.

Nice deflection though.

That's just as vague as your claim of Trapper's power source being unknown.

And he displayed other abilities. Not necessarily more powerful.

We have exact comment from the comic itself that what he believed to be his full power had waned over the centuries.

Except blasting him and getting punched across the solar system. But his performance against Mon-El was below to Darkseid.

It isn't an abstract feat since it was done through the 4th dimension (time). As we've seen many times in comics, entire timelines/futures can be erased by simple actions which TT arranged. Also proven by the fact that the energies were countered by the Jaxon/Superman fight.

Yes he was. His powers were specifically described as such. And he even overpowers Superboy in Superboy #205. But let's not get into that. The point is bios are shit if they don't support on panel.

Odin has like 7 or 8 low showings out of hundreds of appearances. Darkseid has like 5 out of a few dozen and his highs are nowhere near odin's. I'm done.

Also I like how you're using Orikal as a low showing, I mean, the ant aliens is legit even though it was utter stupidity (he didn't even try to break out of chains, he could've tried teleporting for one) but Orikal?

I understood it just fine. The ALE was locked in the minds of six humans across the Earth. This was the whole premise of the new gods and forever people titles. He could have telepathically scanned the entire Earth and extracted the ALE from their minds if GDS is his average showings, or if he was an odin-level telepath, which he most assuredly wasn't.

You also said that PC Darkseid was a Superman villain which he wasn't.

Sorry, you are completely right!

I thought we were discussing pre flashpoint Darkseid embarrasment

But I think it's pointless to claim that Darkseid is a lesser telepath due to the premise of the ALE, especially given the inconsistencies regarding telepathy cross company.

Yet for some reason you referenced a pre-Crisis JLA comic (the firestorm instance)

Worse yet, you were putting Pre-FP Darkseid on the same level as Odin.

I realize that post-crisis was basically a continuation and never underwent any major changes (even though some of the stories were retconned) but there was still a noticeable power gap.

It's as a direct comparison as it gets between the two characters. Odin mindraped the entire human population in a couple of seconds. Darkseid sought to do exactly that, and not only wasn't able to, but resorted to using freakin' machines to extract information from single individuals.

Like I said, it isn't even that close but whatever.

It's not a direct comparison because telepathy and scale of telepathy is wildly inconsistent between the two companies, and even within.

odin should win if theyre both classic versions. Currently Darksied is more like Galactus or even beyonder level right?

laughing out loud

ok, i think the gds version of darkseid has always been a bit ambiguous to say the least. was he weak at the start? i'd say that is definitely a yes. did he amp himself with outside sources? again, no doubt. the ambiguity comes in when we are then forced to ask, well, how much past his original level did the amps take him?

i dunno. maybe the writer viewed ds in such a way that he only intended to bring him back to his usual level. or maybe he was amped past, and we simply don't know how far past. it's one of the reasons i hate using gds ds as part of any ds discussion..... /shrug

i do have a question though--post crisis, in the ORION series by simonson, ds is depicted literally wiping out entire pantheons. that for me has always been pretty definitive proof he's intended to be at least on the level of odin and other high skyfathers. my question though is this: was he supposed to have acted similarly PRE- CRISIS? i mean was he believed to have wiped out pantheons pre-crisis, like he did post? it would seem so since his continuity wouldn't have changed, but i don't recall that being explicitly explained.

or maybe it was and i just can't remember anymore... embarrasment

Usually that is done by tempering with the present.

You are just making shit up now.

Let's see, you have no official retcon, no proof of a power up and nothing but your interpretation.

So yeah, that's just making shit up. Even in his initial appearance he stopped Superman and Superboy travelling through time and not even combined power of Superboy, Mon-El and Ultra boy could break the curtain.

And that was his initial appearance. Since then he was always a big threat.

This comparison wasn't made back in the day however. To claim that is sheer stupidity.



You are either completely blind or completely ignorant if you cannot see that all these are references to GDS Darkseid. Also in '87 (bio) he still wasn't all that.


Who was weakened all along.

Nice try.

What a out of context tidbit. Ultra boy never overpowered Superboy on his own. He was given drugs which made him berserker and Superboy stopped fighting back when Jo tied him with a knot which Superboy himself had taught him.

And Jo himself admitted that he was always second to Superboy and Mon-El in LOSH 231 or thereabouts.

Do no, those bios are pretty accurate.

He realized his power had waned when he thought it was at full power.

So no, he was never amped and never even implied of such in the comic.

Two bios, Time Trapper himself and several fights show that and you're using circular logic now?

Pathetic.

laughing out loud

Tell us more how Darkseid used weakness exploitation to beat Mordru off panel though.

When did Mordru ever do something like destroy galaxies as a side effect of his battles? I mean Mordru when he wasn't amped by some kind of outside source.

Making up shit? laughing out loud I can give you countless examples. Don't accuse me of bullshit if you're ignorant on the nature of these things.

You literally know nothing about TT though, so no surprise that you actually thought that he did this feat and worse yet, you ignored every bit of context in that scene. Namely, that it was never mentioned TT had any hand whatsoever in destroying those timelines, just that he arranged the GL energy to pour through the 4th dimension. And that Superman/Jaxon countered that level of energy.

Oh I have proof believe me. I told you that I can prove it beyond any doubt. Let's see shall we.

Your first claim of him supposedly stopping those three is true but out of context of course. Like I said in my earlier posts, he was created as a mastermind kind of villain, an evil scientist that is. Which is exactly what they referred to him on panel:

http://imgur.com/qEZExWy

The curtain was powered by a machine, not that he created it through any magical means. Furthermore, as you've seen before, this is what happened when Superboy confronted him 1 on 1:

http://imgur.com/gtrxCnF

Then there was the time when he fought the legion individually and they held their own, every single one, even KK. It's eventually stated that the only reason Time trapper was able to hold his own against them is because he is powered by a technological device.

Finally, right before GDS we have an arc involving time trapper, where Superboy confronts him. Guess what TT does?

http://imgur.com/D65jlfb

Resorts to using a ray gun with which he eventually gets owned by Phantom girl.

But by all means, let's act like you're not talking out of your ass. It's hilarious that you even attempted to dispute this.

He had four amps as proven on panel. And confirmed in a bio. Not sure why you're putting so much stock in that "my power has waned over the millennia" claim -- it was clearly a reference to him being depowered throughout the ages after which he awakens and starts amping himself right and left.

Have fun explaining this though:


Also, if you look at how regular DS was portrayed in the New Gods comics you'll realize that it doesn't make sense for him to possess such power. DS was searching for the secrets of the ALE which he knew were locked away in the minds of 6 humans; if a weakened DS is capable of controlling billions of super powered beings, don't you think he could just telepathically scan and extract said secrets from the human population? Yet, in the entire Forever People/New Gods series, which focused on that plot, he was unable to do so.

I might also add the fact that he displayed being able to create big space warps which he never displayed in his regular self. I mean, you'd think he wouldn't use boom tubes if he was capable of this in his normal depiction.

All signs seem to lead to him being amped yet you're clinging to a single statement which you have grossly taken out of context. I'm done explaining this shit to you. You are clearly bias so you can believe what you wish.

I knew that he went into berserk mode which is why I never claimed that he was superior. It did however confirm my claim quite clearly though

http://imgur.com/8YjKuIX

Outright contradicting what was stated in the bio, and was honestly evident throughout his appearances (one example comes to mind when he went rogue in Adventure Comics #316). Which is what's important and much more important than claims - Mon-el was once stated to be stronger than SB despite the fact a few issue earlier they were stated to be equal which their entire history seems to support.

And thanks for stating the obvious yet again. UB is of course inferior to Super boy or mon-el in terms of overall abilities since he can only use one at a time; but I was referring to his individual abilities being on par with them. Either way though, I'm not gonna get dragged into this kind of debate yet again with you. Stick to the point.

You have no clue how bios work apparently. They just tell you the general level which the character is and sometimes referring to the threat level if he's a villain especilally when it was outright stated that his abilities are not known.

Not that any of this matters because again: GDS Darkseid is the only Darkseid who is relevant in legion continuity, so all statements comparing (insert x character) to Darkseid, is essentially being compared to GDS Darkseid. but again: Believe what you wish.

Remind me again when did Darkseid do anything even remotely approaching things like destroying galaxies in his battles, shaking the multiverse, drawing the particles of all the universe, tearing a universe, or containing universal energies? Also what characters has he beaten on par with Surtur?

Because Orikal is a cosmic being. And that's the same Mangog who was confirmed to be a greater threat than Ego. Same Ego, who at that time period, was stalemating Galactus, and actually proved to be more powerful than big G in a later instance.

Either way though, I thought you didn't care about space cheese?

A lot of people tend to overlook this, but Granny Goodness imprisoned the entire Greek Pantheon all by her lonesome during Countdown. Granted, it's an extremely high-end showing for her, but it still happened.

...And obviously Darkseid>>>>>Granny. So it *should* be within his power to casually wipe out Pantheons, imo.

Oh I know a lot about Trapper. In fact more than you do.

And I liked how wiping out every future timeline isn't some kind of abstract feat. But somehow that is also not important.





Now see, this is where you are flat out wrong and about to get owned. That was literally not the Time Trapper which was compared to Darkseid. That was retconned in Legionnaires 3 as being a Controller all along.

http://s6d3.turboimg.net/t1/29482971_Legionnaires_3_1986_001-005.jpg

See, Legion is my favorite team. There is nothing you show that I don't know already.

Don't try to lecture me on Legion history alright?



And yet he wasn't at full power. There were no mention of him being amped. Just that he had to absorb power to get back at full power.



Different writers. If you look at how Gerry Conway's version of Odin and Stan Lee's Odin, they are two different characters altogether in terms of power.



Because as shown in DOTNG, you can't control someone with even a fraction of ALE. You are acting like plot means nothing and Darkseid could just mindrape beings who possess ALE and that's it.



You are using circular logic to prove your claims. Kirby showed the New Gods to be immensely powerful. Even a random new God could channel the magnetic force of a hundred galaxies.

As GDS Darkseid never showed that level of power I suggest he was weaker than a random new God. What do you say?






You knew but didn't mention it? Holy out of context batman. And here just 35 issues later its pretty explicitly stated that both Superboy and Mon-el are more powerful than Jo.

http://s6d1.turboimg.net/t1/29483466_Superboy239-11.jpg



And Mon-El had also been stated to be weaker than Superboy a few issues later.


http://s5d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/19498103_Legion278.jpg http://s5d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/19498105_Legion279.jpg




He has abilities similar to Superboy and Mon-El but not at their level. It has been made clear several times. Using a contradicting statement to prop up your own arguments? Pitiful.



Haha, seriously?



And GDS Darkseid is weaker than the main continuity Darkseid.





Of course it does. You don't have a counter to it so it doesn't deserve a response.





laughing out loud





Space cheese never matters in these kind of discussion. By that level the GL which destroyed all those possible futures is abstract level and you refuse to even give the feat credit.

Mordru.



Who gives a shit? When did he destroy galaxies or shook the multiverse as I take a page from you?



So just ABC comparison, eh?

Darkseid was compared to an AMPED Infinite Man.

http://s6d3.turboimg.net/t1/29483468_LegionOSHv3-18-27.jpg

And Infinite Man is several steps above Galactus, Ego and Odin combined. Heck darkseid casually created a being above Mangog. Validus.

Galactus was worth shit in silver age. It wasn't until Byrne retconned him as one of the fundamental forces of the universe he gained any sort of respect. And still doesn't comes any higher than a skyfather on average.





You do and I was taking a page from your book. Show us Mangog destroying a galaxy. Or Ego. Or Orikal.

Mordru on his own has drained Infinite Man and stalemated Glorith with the power of Time Trapper.

Time Trapper has destroyed every planet and star in a universe and left only two planets for his own amusement.

http://s6d1.turboimg.net/t1/29483778_AdventuresOfSuperman444p04and05.jpg

Heck, Mordru was the only reason Trapper created Legion in the very first place as he could not defeat Mordru on his own. Odin is like a gnat to Trapper.

http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/11227126_m2.jpg http://s4d4.turboimagehost.com/t1/11227127_m3.jpg

You don't know shit. You are completely clueless about his early depiction. You thought that the fact he was scared of Superboy was a "low showing" since you believe him to be the abstract he was portrayed later to be. When in fact he was created to be an evil scientist type of character initially like I described in my earlier posts. You were stupid enough to dispute that then got mad that I called you out on it. We get it.

I like how you keep repeating that without countering my points. Again:

you ignored every bit of context in that scene. Namely, that it was never mentioned TT had any hand whatsoever in destroying those timelines, just that he arranged the GL energy to pour through the 4th dimension. And that Superman/Jaxon countered that level of energy.

laughing out loud everything is completely and utterly wrong. And I like how you completely diverted from the main point which was how TT was portrayed originally, but ill play along regardless.

Though I like the confidence and the condescending tone you displayed here. Lol at those last two statements, I'm very well versed with the entire Legion chronology right from the beginning of the early silver age, so you ain't teaching me shit either.

Let's get something straight before we proceed: Do you admit that you were utterly wrong about time trapper's early appearances that he was an abstract? Do you admit that he was created as an evil scientist kind of character as opposed to the abstract being you were imagining him to be (scans already posted)? Answer that first, then we'll get to the second part.

First off you do realize that the time trapper has always been revealed to be a controller even before the Crisis, right?

http://imgur.com/KkiuX3j
http://imgur.com/3zirQue

And either this, or the GDS is the instance which Legionnaires 3 could be considered retconning. Not all the others, lol, how could you even think that? The nature of the Legionnaires 3 revelation is ambigious since the prison in which the legion imprison TT they always imprison their villains there so there's no telling which specific instance it retconned.

But to prove that beyond all doubt.

Remember this scene which the trapper brought up in Zero Hour?

http://imgur.com/3Yp7RnB

The iron curtain of time, and the scene is a direct reference to this one from the early adventure comics issue.

http://imgur.com/3fUTNpW

(superboy was obviously replaced in the scene due to continuity changes).

So much for claiming those were all retconned as well. And I mean... the whole Zero Hour made that quite clear. I think the overconfidence and boasting may have affected your mind to the point where you started spouting nonsense.

Conway's Odin still owned Mangog w/ Odinsword, erased the memories of all mankind and rebuilt everything after the ego-prime affair, and was said to rival Xorr who was Galactus level. Still better than Darkseid.

Darkseid, on the other hand, only displayed insane level of power in GDS which coincidentally has him absorbing other powers. I don't know how to make this more crystal clear.

Way to go to reference DOTNG which was 20 years after the crisis.

You seem awfully ignorant on the nature of things in the pre-crisis era, no wonder you overhype the shit out of them.

the ALE was locked subconsciously in the mind of 6 humans, who basically contained the information of an equation Darkseid wanted to solve. Yes, it was basically like Darkseid was unable to solve a math equation and needed the information contained in those six humans to do it, that's how it was portrayed. Except Summo iirc who managed to display abilities early on in the series.

First of all I like how you outright ignored this.

http://imgur.com/8YjKuIX

Your brain is not functioning properly it seems. I need to restate things a hundred times before it begins to compute something. Of course SB and Mon-El are more powerful than UB because he can only use one powerful at a time, so overall yes they are more powerful, these kind of statements are mentioned all the time it's not exactly a revelation on your part. What I'm saying however is his individual abilities which were regarded to be on par with Superboy and Mon-el, like here for instance:

http://imgur.com/dkPY7Vo

I mean, you say that you are well versed in Legion continuity yet I must explain to you the most basic of things. There are many examples, Mon-El was the only one who was regarded as being able to "match" UB in strength when he went rogue in Adventure comics #316. UB also broke inertron (in #379) something which even Validus has failed to do a few dozen issues before. And neither Mon-El or Superboy could a few issues earlier, and yes I am aware that they were able to break it on other occassions, but this alone shows that his strength was up there with them. His "vision" powers (which is called penetra-vision) is even regarded as being better than Superboy's and has scanned entire planets in an instant from what I remember. If you think that his individual abilities aren't in the same league as SB or Mon-El you're fooling yourself. You may even find claims which suggest that he doesn't, but it would hold as much weight as Mon-El saying he's stronger than Superboy when their entire history paints a picture where they're pretty much equal.

He wasn't amped or anything, he went beserk mode, and I mainly mentioned it since I vaguely recalled that in that comic Ultra-Boy was definitely shown to be on Superboy's level in terms of individual abilities

Oh god. How you blindly jump in to protect your precious Superboy. And Mon-El was stated to be stronger than SB in adventure comics #339, how about that? Are you starting to see my point that individual statements are irrelevant when we look at the bigger picture aka what they're generally portrayed to be. You're basically proving my point by posting those scans.

And are you admitting that you were completely wrong about no official retcon of Time Trapper's power?



Do you admit that your comparison of Pulsar Stargrave to TT was just a red herring?



Yes, All new collector's edition 55. But the scan is to show that there were two time trappers and the pre crisis one was always a controller and his scenes do not apply to real Time Trapper.



It flat out states that the TT imprisoned on Takron Galtos was controller.



There were a lot of time fluctuations in Zero Hour. Nothing in there is concrete.

Trapper himself informs Legion how they mistook his dupes for him.

http://s6d6.turboimg.net/t1/29505458_LSH38-06.jpg

Face it, you ****ed up saying Trapper's power was never changed.



You are just a simpleton at this point. Zero hour was a time where there were quite a few time anomalies. Like Cosmic Boy being Trapper by learning magic in Mordru's libraray and Superboy coming back to life.


It was flat out retconned that Legion never encountered real Time Trapper before Legionnaires 3,




Those were not amps. He was recovering his power and even after all those power he absorbed he realized his powers had waned over the years.

You are flat out refusing to acknowledge that he was weakened in the first place.

Keep paddling the same bullshit.

Better than your claims that Darkseid could simply mindrape beings who possess ALE. Call it a retcon if you want.

And hence the retcons which make the earlier depictions unusable.





Solar system level? Odin and Surtur died in an explosion which didn't even destroy the city they were fighting in.

Malekith could've killed Odin by a pillow.

Way to go for lowballing.



I didn't. The comics were inconsistent in comparison of power levels. In fact Timber Wolf was stated to be almost as strong as Mon-El and Superboy.

http://s6d3.turboimg.net/t1/29505516_RCO008_1469028534.jpg

Complaining that the bios were the only thing inconsistent.



And this is not computing for you, the comics were inconsistent upon how they viewed the three characters.

Hence, Mon-El was equal, stronger and weaker than Superboy under the same writer.

The bios wer not the only inconsistent and using that as an excuse to wave away the bios is pathetic at best.



Superboy also said that Mon-El was stronger than himself in Superboy 250. But this isn't computing for you for some reason.

Both comics and bios were inconsistent regarding strength comparison between Mon-el, Superboy and Ultra Boy. That means using that as a crutch to invalid the Trapper bio is pathetic.



Holy out of context batman!

Oh god. How you blindly jump in to protect your precious Superboy.

Haha, what? I'm merely showing you how the comics were inconsistent as well.

You are doofus if you think it was to show Superboy was stronger than Mon-El.

But hey "Ultra Boy's bio shows he was weaker than Superboy. So all bios are invalid." is a sound reasoning. But when I show the comics themselves being inconsistent in that, its swept aside.

laughing out loud





No, it doesn't. Being a cosmic being doesn't means shit in comics.





And GDS Darkseid was weaker as stated by himself.



Haha, what? That's some real mental gymnastics right there.



Some real butthurt right there.





That using Ego's performance against Galactus to somehow boost Mangog? Pretty desperate move. Twelve Deathwings nearly killed Galactus when one of them was killed by Rom.

Now see, these kind of statements confirm my suspicions that you know shit about the character. Because even if you believe it's a controller (which he isn't) TT was never portayed as a super powered being in that era; he was an evil scientist type of character. Ive already posted all the relevant scans and yet you keep ignoring them. Here's a scan which I forgot to post earlier.

laughing out loud are you blind or something? The explanation is right there in the part you quoted:


you ignored every bit of context in that scene. Namely, that it was never mentioned TT had any hand whatsoever in destroying those timelines, just that he arranged the GL energy to pour through the 4th dimension. And that Superman/Jaxon countered that level of energy.

You mean the controller retcon? Ive referenced it myself from the earliest posts in this thread. I said that his overall power depiction did increase over time, but there was no official instance which increased his power, that's what I said and that's what it is. See below.

Answering a question with a question? Alrighty then, ill play along though...

No because they were the same threat level. Your turn now:

Do you admit that he was created as an evil scientist kind of character as opposed to the abstract being you were imagining him to be (scans already posted)?

Yes, All new collector's edition 55. But the scan is to show that there were two time trappers and the pre crisis one was always a controller and his scenes do not apply to real Time Trapper.

It flat out states that the TT imprisoned on Takron Galtos was controller.

There were a lot of time fluctuations in Zero Hour. Nothing in there is concrete.

Trapper himself informs Legion how they mistook his dupes for him.

http://s6d6.turboimg.net/t1/29505458_LSH38-06.jpg

Face it, you ****ed up saying Trapper's power was never changed.

You are just a simpleton at this point. Zero hour was a time where there were quite a few time anomalies. Like Cosmic Boy being Trapper by learning magic in Mordru's libraray and Superboy coming back to life.


It was flat out retconned that Legion never encountered real Time Trapper before Legionnaires 3,


Not this shit again. so you found yourself an excuse because of "zero hour fluctuations". But alright let's shut you down for good shall we?

This is an official retelling of the Legion early events (note this retelling is post-Legionnaires 3)

http://imgur.com/It0LkQU

http://imgur.com/htSmYlF

Both of those reference the early adventure comics instances regarding the time trapper. As you can see, he wasn't a controller there. But there's more....

Cosmic Boy mini (also after Legionnaires 3) associates the time trapper, and not the controller, with the iron curtain of time:

http://imgur.com/jNvH0Cz

Also, let's not forget that Glorith was reduced to protoplasm by the trapper in the early Adventure comics issue, and this the reason behind her rage against him and why she replaced him and killed him after Mon-el depowered him severely. The Adv. comics issue was even referenced in a retelling in v4:

http://imgur.com/Br6eORA

The only instance which can be attributed to TT being a controller is in GDS or the one that I posted and that's it. Claiming otherwise is baseless.

Also, regarding the controller instance, let's see my posts on page 1 shall we:

You are flat out refusing to acknowledge that he was weakened in the first place.

Keep paddling the same bullshit.

You are so hilariously misinterpreting his dialogue at the end of GDS.

I already admitted that he was depowered initally, you're just refusing to accept the four amps he received later on.

Again, this is crystal clear. His power has waned over the millennium (thousand years between 20th and 30th century) after which he started absorbing power.

where did I say Odin is an abstract again? Anyway I acknowledged that he had lows under that writer but ive also referenced his highs which are much better than Darkseid's

I dare you to find a better feat for Darkseid outside GDS than the three ive referenced for Odin under Conway (his least powerful depiction by your own admission).

I mean, even if we try to make it unfair and give PC Darkseid a chance, he'd still lose.

Referencing those two goes against your argument because

1) I don't remember anything impressive DS did in those two series.

2) Both are non canon and I can prove it.

And hence the retcons which make the earlier depictions unusable.


This is complete and utter stupidity tbh.

What do I care what happened 20 years after the crisis when we're debating pre-Crisis? I mean, by virtue of them being pre-Crisis versions, this makes all post-Crisis things unusable. Don't come at me with the "they weren't affected by the crisis" bullshit again; the point I'm making should be quite clear.

Way to go for lowballing.


the difference is, they weren't aiming to destroy the city but rather each other. In the New Genesis/Apokolips case, the goal was to destroy the other planet/civilization.
And btw we're talking the entire New Genesis/Apokolips along with every "Galaxy level" god and technology they had at their disposal, they were going all out.

While being in Odin-sleep, an important detail you failed to mention but ok

I didn't. The comics were inconsistent in comparison of power levels. In fact Timber Wolf was stated to be almost as strong as Mon-El and Superboy.

http://s6d3.turboimg.net/t1/29505516_RCO008_1469028534.jpg

Complaining that the bios were the only thing inconsistent.

And this is not computing for you, the comics were inconsistent upon how they viewed the three characters.

Hence, Mon-El was equal, stronger and weaker than Superboy under the same writer.

The bios wer not the only inconsistent and using that as an excuse to wave away the bios is pathetic at best.

Superboy also said that Mon-El was stronger than himself in Superboy 250. But this isn't computing for you for some reason.

Both comics and bios were inconsistent regarding strength comparison between Mon-el, Superboy and Ultra Boy. That means using that as a crutch to invalid the Trapper bio is pathetic.

Haha, what? I'm merely showing you how the comics were inconsistent as well.

You are doofus if you think it was to show Superboy was stronger than Mon-El.

But hey "Ultra Boy's bio shows he was weaker than Superboy. So all bios are invalid." is a sound reasoning. But when I show the comics themselves being inconsistent in that, its swept aside.

laughing out loud



I'm not sure why this took so long. Yes, because on panel there is inconsistency you can't favor one instance over another when their history regards them as equal, that's my point. However, what you're missing here is the fact that the bio's job is to generalize the power level, meaning that the bio should be the one which should state that they're equals in general (in terms of individual abilities, which the bio specifically states it's not). I mean, do you even know how bios work?

I mean holy shit is this simple enough to understand.

Also, as I said before it wasn't the only instance in the bios (or did you think I was bluffing?). I recall vaguely the errors in the powers/abilities sections, but another example would be colossal boy who was stated that it was never shown if he could achieve a height greater than 7 or so meters when he had previously dwarfed a small city.

Its in the very same panel from where you cropped the earlier scan.


It's perfectly in-context.

It's the exact same wording when Superman let go of his inhibitions in the parasite instance around that same time. It was first stated that his powers were "increased" (because of beserk mode) when in fact he merely let go of his inhibitions (this was even stated in a later letter's page) just like UB did here.

But I like how you keep diverting your point from the statement which is right in the scan. Anyway we've sealed this part of the debate so we don't need to prolong it.

No, it doesn't. Being a cosmic being doesn't means shit in comics.


It may not mean much in terms of feats, but it lessens the low showings. Being (indirectly) overpowered by a featless cosmic being isn't that bad when you think about it.

That using Ego's performance against Galactus to somehow boost Mangog? Pretty desperate move. Twelve Deathwings nearly killed Galactus when one of them was killed by Rom.

I could dismantle your out of context Deathwings instance but I don't want to prolong the debate unnecessarily. Point is, I agree with you that Galactus was weaker back then but he was still god-like and well above PC Darkseid. It becomes clear as day when you read how the characters were portrayed back then, there isn't even a margin for comparison between them.

laughing out loud

And I'm thinking you are just a bot that is activated by "Pre crisis" words in a thread to just lowball the shit out of them.





Ask me if I give a shit about what you think.



Yes, which was retconned away in legionnaires 3. I like how you keep ignoring that while harping your own scans.



The controller again.

http://i2.wp.com/www.majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/00001LegionTabloid/Tabloid10.jpg

And you are simply not getting the point that comparison between Darkseid and TT only happened in post-crisis era where Time Trapper was retconned in being the avatar of Entropy.





Are you an idiot or something?




So that makes Superman/Jaxon and GL abstract level beings. After all it has been established that every future timeline contains an universe and GL's energy destroyed every single one of them and Superman/Jaxon countered that level of energy?

http://s6d6.turboimg.net/t1/29544978_superboy223-051.jpg

Let Odin match that kind of power.




Haha, still clinging to that? No, it didn't increase gradually. He went from being a controller to a lord of Entropy.





No, they were not. Stargrave himself admitted that Mordru was above him in power and that's why he needed Legion's help.

And Mordru was a peer of TT as established in LOSH v4 annual 1 where both Mordru and Glorith with power of TT stalemated and drained away most of their powers.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/29544982/RCO044.jpg.html
http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/29544983/RCO047.jpg.html

Heck, even Glorith stated only Darkseid could control the daxamites.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/29544981/RCO002.jpg.html


And Stargrave himself stopped an entire anti matter universe colliding with matter universe which could destroy both universes.

Superboy even said that they couldn't do it together and Stargrave did it by a wave of his hand.

He is not some weak feeb you are trying to lowball into.



It really doesn't matters as the Time Trapper with which darkseid was compared was always avatar of Entropy as established in Legionnaires 3 and LOSH never met the real TT before that.





Oh do shut up. Your nonsense is already aggravating enough.



That's from Who's who in LOSH which explicitly stated that all the subsequent encounters of LOSH with TT was a clone.

http://s6d1.turboimg.net/t1/29544984_RCO015_1468222972.jpg

How hard is it for you to understand what a retcon is?



Of course he was.



Why are you so obsessed with him creating Curtain anyway? Earlier it was from a machine but then it was retconned as created from his own power.

That doesn't means he was some scientist when he was being compared with Darkseid. It was always the Controller who had the bad showings.



You going anywhere with this?




Oh you poor fool. Its all the scenes in pre crisis history. Explicitly stated.



Yes, you are saying only that instance was where TT was a controller. Which is blatantly false.






Of course it was. You tried to lowball Darkseid being referenced as a peer to Time Trapper as if Stargrave being called a peer to Controller TT as hyperbole.





And you are so hilariously taking his dialogue of "I'm fullfilled...for now." as a proof that he was amped out of context, its not even funny anymore.



Except they were not amps and only gave him his full power back as he thought but even then he was weaker than previous.

http://s6d1.turboimg.net/t1/29544985_RCO031_1468222632.jpg

Oneshotting Mon-el into coma, breaking Brainiac 5's force field which not even Validus and Time Trapper and Infinite Man could and onshotting Mordru like a feeb. There you go.

And where is that stated?



So was Odin and he couldn't even destroy the city with his all out attack.



Just like you forgot Ultra Boy being amped. But ok.






Yes, i do. And even comics support that Darkseid and Trapper were peers. Trapper himself stated that when the LOSH stopped Darkseid, he considered them able to stop him. Glorith stated that only Darkseid could control daxamites. White Witch stated that an amped Infinite Man had power level compared to Darkseid.


All things point out that Darkseid was a peer to Time Trapper and Infinite Man.



Yes, and I wonder why are you so butthurt to not understand that?



Yes, we established that the bios were faulty in some areas. But completely discarding bios backed by comics themselves? Get the **** out with your butthurt.





Hahaha, no it isn't. Brainy gave him drugs to appear under madness and it boosted his strength.



This wasn't about letting go inhibitions. You are now just making shit up. But keep digging that hole.

http://s6d3.turboimg.net/t1/29545012_SLSH-205-11.jpg



Yeah, keep dreaming.

And the bios are totally usable as they are backed by the comics.





Yes it is, labeled as a cosmic being doesn't means much in comics.





I like how your nonsense is "debating" but when I call you on it, its waste of space time.

On what basis Infinite Man was called more powerful than Darkseid BTW?





Haha, what about getting almost killed by Thor?



No, its quite opposite. Kirby directly stated that he was intending Darkseid to be Galactus level. And he was shown even more powerful later.

Infinite Man and Time Trapper would fist **** Galactus or Odin of any era. So would Mordru.

Darkseid was a peer of those characters. Odin is a gnat compared to that level.

Yeah, but later entries and the comic itself contradicts it. And Darkseid defeated Mordru with such an ease which I can't see Odin ever doing.

http://s6d4.turboimg.net/t1/29545364_RCO002.jpg

Heck, Mordru was making dead rise over entire galaxy by a single spell and giving them powers. Can't see Odin or Galactus able to replicate that level of power.

Is the space ant thing PIS? Odin doesn't even use the Odinpower, but rather simply fights like sword wielding brick.

And those just, coincidentally, happen to occur in GDS. Where he was not even at full power. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Zelia is not weak by any measure, While he was imprisoned from what I recall. Odin previously has defeated all the dark gods and erased the memory of it from all of Asgard. Zelia merged all the dark gods into one whom Odin dissipated. Mordru's magic has been drained by the white witch on the other hand (not even mentioning his defeats at the hands of Superboy or even non-top tier legionnaires holding their own against him).

This isn't impressive?

I know.


Figured as much. But if you read the scans you'll realize he was using a technological device.

This is after all the same series where Darkseid was struggling against Red tornado and other individual JLAers from what I remember. Also it's a continuation from the Hunger Dogs novel (which was later non-canonized in multiple letter's pages across the new gods comics) where he was expelled from Apokolips by a freaking rebellion and was implied to be unable to survive his planet's destruction. Like I said, referencing it does you more harm than good. But I understand, you're desperate to find any showings apart from GDS and are starting to just reference random non canon shit instead.

I'm still waiting on what he did in DC challenge though. Even in these non canon comics series you must realize that DS was never portrayed as god-like as your imagining him to be, same thing in the Kirby New Gods/Mr Miracle/Forever people era. The only thing that you could mention from DS which comes even close to Odin is GDS and you know it. We may disagree on whether GDS DS was amped or not, but even you cannot help but think why GDS is the only instance where DS can be compared to Odin. And the answer is pretty simple: His standard portrayal is nowhere near. But again: Believe what you wish.

The thread specifies pre-crisis Darkseid, thus everything post-crisis is inapplicable.

But ok let's follow your great and mighty logic and see where it gets us.

Morrison retconned all DS's previous appearances into mere lesser projections. Thus PC DS stomps! because pre-Crisis DS was retconned into being a small part of a bigger whole. This is as stupid as it gets. The point is crystal clear but no, you must find some twisted explanation for it.

Dr Fate was significantly depowered ever since the early golden age. This is, after all, the same Dr Fate who was beaten by the shining night, Dr who or just a random giant (not to mention 2 random thugs). He couldn't affect immaterial beings and had a horrible weakness in his lungs. He was more of a physical powerhouse than a magician at that point. The only time where his full powers returned (and even that was retconned later on) was when he faced the Spectre in All-Star squadron which takes place in the golden age but a bit after his depowerment.

Though I like the confidence and the condescending tone you displayed here. Lol at those last two statements, I'm very well versed with the entire Legion chronology right from the beginning of the early silver age, so you ain't teaching me shit either.

Let's get something straight before we proceed: Do you admit that you were utterly wrong about time trapper's early appearances that he was an abstract? Do you admit that he was created as an evil scientist kind of character as opposed to the abstract being you were imagining him to be (scans already posted)? Answer that first, then we'll get to the second part.

First off you do realize that the time trapper has always been revealed to be a controller even before the Crisis, right?

http://imgur.com/KkiuX3j
http://imgur.com/3zirQue

And either this, or the GDS is the instance which Legionnaires 3 could be considered retconning. Not all the others, lol, how could you even think that? The nature of the Legionnaires 3 revelation is ambigious since the prison in which the legion imprison TT they always imprison their villains there so there's no telling which specific instance it retconned.

But to prove that beyond all doubt.

Remember this scene which the trapper brought up in Zero Hour?

http://imgur.com/3Yp7RnB

The iron curtain of time, and the scene is a direct reference to this one from the early adventure comics issue.

http://imgur.com/3fUTNpW

(superboy was obviously replaced in the scene due to continuity changes).

So much for claiming those were all retconned as well. And I mean... the whole Zero Hour made that quite clear. I think the overconfidence and boasting may have affected your mind to the point where you started spouting nonsense.

Why are you outright ignoring that Darkseid was compared to the Entropy avatar version of Time Trapper and earlier showings do not matter in such comparison as it was always a controller in those stories?






And yet you dismissed Darkseid compared to TT by saying "even stargrave was compared to TT in those days."

It's irrelevant either way because this point of yours is dependent on whether he was amped or not. Which he was, but you don't seem to agree so no point in debating this part when we don't agree on the basis.

OF Thor stomped Perrikus in Thor #53 though, and at that point OF Thor was still considerably below standard Odin.

And anyway, perikkus is supposed to be unimpressive? He tanked Thor's anti-force (a new concept at that time from what I recall and later stated to be planet-wrecking attack) easily. He stomped and broke Thor's hammer as well. Dark Gods were pretty powerful.

Also, a weakened Odin infused thor with OF enough to go against Thanos who gained multi-universal power later on. Let PC Darkseid match that.

Godblast. Which merely allowed Odin the opening he needed to reclaim his power.

And what is your point here anyway? Odin has shown to be capable of instantly draining Thor's power while sitting on his throne on asgard while Thor being on Earth. And he's done it multiple times. He depowered Thor to half strength in JiM #101 (as well as in Thor #126), he nullified the enchantment easily in JiM #113 (precenting blake from becoming Thor), etc..

I wasn't referring to Legion of 3 worlds. I was referring to LOSH #300. The spell was devised by her teachers on sorcerer's world.

Your desperation to lowball Darkseid by any mean has gone all time low.





Altered timeline where not all of things went as originally did. All of that doesn't reduce his power levels in the least.





You haven't produced a single evidence other than an ambiguous bio which says he may have other abilities. Not amped in power.

But somehow he was amped because you say so. GTFO.






But aren't you thumping your chest with Odin destroying galaxies or shaking multiverse?

I just gave you a better feat. You should be gaga over it. But you seem rather butthurt about it. I wonder why.



Thou doth protest too much.





Ah, here comes the lowballing part. Doesn't that mean they were so powerful and not that Stargrave was so powerful?

But I forgot, that only works for marvel characters.

"Mangog is so powerful because he defeated Odin."

Oh you jester you.



Well he is. Show me Odin stopping two universes colliding with each other with a wave of his hands.

Oh I forgot, he was killed like every other being in the universe in an incursion.

Too bad.



And he was compared to Controller TT who he released. Not Entropy TT.

That was Darkseid.





Concession accepted. Move along.





Except for pre crisis characters where only their lowest feats matter. And marvel characters where only highest feats matter.

And on average he was that powerful and consistently compared to Time Trapper and Infinite Man in power.

So OF Thor>Perrikkus>Odin.





Except Thor blew a hole in all dark gods combined with a lightning attack. Mjolnir was weakened due to Enrakt inhabiting it anyway. A moon level King Thor stomped the **** out of Perrikus.

So yes, he was unimpressive as ****.

Because he is the one giving power to Thor. Where was that power when Jane was bashing his face in while throwing him around solar system like a ping pong ball?



Who have depowered Mordru before. Not a bad showing by any means.







Hahaha. Oh the sheer gall here.



Yes, the story was out of continuity of the post crisis universe since it too in pre crisis history and Wonder Woman not being returned to clay was done in COIE.

And it directly references pre crisis history. Like in here.

Joke had Mxy's power. And Joker is not most memorable for Emperor Joker you little goon.

Its The Killing Joke or a lot of Batman's stories. Emperor Joker is never even mentioned as a must read story for Joker. Nice strawman though.





Haha, seriously?



And here comes the twisting of words.

What you said was that the war was merely confined in a solar system. Now when you get caught up by your scans, you backpaddled by saying it later expanded to the rest of the universe later.

You flip flop like its going out of Zop.



And those planets were the size of galaxies by some depictions and Godworld itself was bigger than biggest stars. Not that destroying Apokolips is as easy as any other planet.





No, Thor was the one who defeated him and unlike your new god references it was explicitly compared to Odin's.

Grundy was able to absorb the magic of Fate and was a beast in his own regard.

I don't give a shit about how you view the characters.



Another retcon. Post crisis that is and which is forgotten again since. But where is the chronology now?



Yeah, that's just idiotic.



Its good that it wasn't back in 40s. It happened in 80s and Spectre was a different beast then.



All star squadron 27: Spectre threw Fate across entire multiverse and is outright stated to be more powerful than Nabu.

http://i.imgur.com/HXc3wrQ.jpg

Add a lot of other feats from 80s.





It didn't happen in All Star comics. It happened in All Star Squadron.

And Ostrander retconned that Spectre was always at half power until Jim Corrigon went to heaven.



Haha, all this nonsense and you didn't post a single scan of Fate being weakened in the fight with Mordru. In fact he was amped with the power of Hal and Alan who were absolute beasts in silver age.

But all of them were weaklings because of random low showings, right?

Your desperation is palpable. In order to lowball Darkseid, you've lowballed nearly everyone in pre crisis universe.

What a bunch of weaklings. If only Krona (a random Guardian and an average skyfather in DC) didn't stomp the everloving shit out of Galactus and made him his *****. Or Kismet being a peer to Eternity. Or Spectre overpowering the IG and UN in separating the universes.

Both Marvel and DC get screwily inconsistent and unrealistic about power levels once you jump too far beyond the hero level.

But DC is EXTRA screwy. Guys like Anti-Monitor and certain portrayals of Darkseid will be presented as universal threats, and yet also slug it out with heroes. At DC, if you collect 5 Supermen from hypertime you suddenly have a universal threat.

So good luck making any comparisons here.

It's a sad thing that you actually think I'm lowballing. You seem to think that Pre Crisis DC is filled with omnipotent super heroes and villains when in fact that were portrayed not unlike their post-Crisis versions. You also think that what I'm referencing are outliers and lows when they're just plain average portrayals of the characters. I mean, you thought TT was an abstract when he was basically an evil scientist type character....

but you know what's the best part? I actually thought that you knew how they were portrayed on average which is why I thought it's unnecessary to post scans because that's just basic knowledge. Now I know better though, ill post every single scan to shut you down.

When he absorbed the second artifact he literally said "i am fulfilled" after which he absorbed TT/Controller and Mordru. Mordru alone is a skyfather, that by itself proves that he was amped.

Not to mention the new abilities which he developed, and something interesting I realized while reviewing the original war. in the original Apokolips/New Genesis war, Darkseid sought desperate means to win the war, so he had Metron develop teleportation technology to give them the edge (boom tubes):

Now why would he do that when he could just open big space warps like he did in GDS? It was after all a significant point in the war. And in the entirety of his appearances he has never ever opened a space warp, I'm pretty sure about that.

Also, you are basically saying that standard Darkseid is capable of mindraping several billion Superman level beings. I don't need to emphasize how ridiculous this sounds. I have established previously how Darkseid has failed to mindrape single human individuals by extracting the secrets he needed. Literally everything seems to suggest that he was amped.

You are simply unable to grasp comic feats. What Stargrave did was a localized event. He sealed off a localized reality crack which if it was widened will threaten reality.

going by your logic Thor is a reality buster since he was able to crack a small portion of reality in Thor #204:

No he didn't. Just like the scan says: It was young Thor's presence and bold move which re-motivated and empowered Odin to defeat them.

Thor subconsciously held the OF in check and didn't use to its full potential. He basically had self imposed limitations. It was confirmed 3 issues after the moon instance.

This is Super powers collection btw, and is as much cannon as your SP v2 scans. In other words, non canon at all but suit yourself.

I'm still waiting to see what makes him impressive in that series.

I know but you referenced to the device which was channeling Darkseid's power so i thought id strike back. The neural machine however wasn't even his power. It was a technological device and nowhere did it say that it was channeling his power. It was the device DS used to dampen the heroes powers.

And here Desaad refers to it as a technological device with nothing to do with DS's powers. It was probably a device created by Desaad himself.

let's face it, You fuked up when you referenced that feat, and you fuked up even more disputing its non-canonicity.

WTF? Are you capable of comprehending the most basic of things?

COIE took place, Legends came shortly after and New Gods continuity still wasn't established. New Genesis was destroyed, it was later established that that was never the case and New Genesis is still intact. Meaning Hunger Dogs is non canon its simple as that.

Anyway, why am I debating this with you? The letter's section is written by the actual editor Michael Eury

I mean, what a weak attack.


It was a godblast, because he channeled his asgardian life force. This is exactly what a godblast is.

Juggernaut stopped the godblast with his invisible force field, something which not all writers use and ignore. The only time the force field was actually weak was in the early X-Men issues (in the 60s) when some wind machine took out Juggernaut's force field for a while when he crashed into one. In the era when Thor faced him, that wasn't the case.

Lowballing the godblast through Ego though? You were better off posting the juggernaut scene than the Ego one, lol, seriously what were you thinking?

But mangog is not impressive because Odin was scared of him, neither is it impressive that Odin defeated him; however, random sorcerer's depowering Mordru is not a bad showing just because they've done it before.

Holy shit are you reaching new heights.

it doesn't matter if a comic references a previous issue, because that just says that that specific event happened in this part of non canon story. Kind of like elseworlds and what ifs were certain events diverged, and in this case the very events of DC Challenge is what diverges this so called elseworld (ignore the term just understand the concept) from the main continuity Why is this so hard to understand?

Anyway...the actual editor himself said that it is out of continuity.

Also, when I originally said that these were non canon you replied to me with "i know" you're not starting to "flip flop" are you?

Joke had Mxy's power. And Joker is not most memorable for Emperor Joker you little goon.

Its The Killing Joke or a lot of Batman's stories. Emperor Joker is never even mentioned as a must read story for Joker. Nice strawman though.


And Darkseid had Excalibur, the orb, TT/controller, and Mordru's powers.

laughing out loud at your horrible comprehension skills. When I said "most memorable" i was referring to the DCU comics readers in general not the niche ones who are specifically into Batman comics. And you divert from the main point as usual and start talking irrelevant shit like "killing joke" is the most memorable (well actually from an in-universe perspective it's Joker's last laugh is). What do i even care what's most memorable? Point being is that memorable doesn't equate to standard and is pretty much the exact opposite, because in memorable story arcs something out of the ordinary/standard happens. This is basic stuff. So you saying that we should consider GDS as standard because it's most "memorable" is as wrong as it gets. Although you can keep telling me about Joker's most memorable appearances, go on.

laughing out loud

You flip flop like its going out of Zop.


Are you an idiot or something? You literally haven't been able to comprehend most of my posts and completely go about talking about something else.

I never said that the Apokolips New Genesis war was isolated to solar system level. I remembered that scene quite well in my head, actually. The conversation went this way:

- Me: My initial point was that they wanted to destroy each other's planets. And I never mentioned it was solar system level.

- You: Show me where was it stated.

- Me: show you a scan stating exactly what I said.

- you: Lol! the scan states the war was universal.

- me: It was not universal, it just extended to the universe but either way my point is that they wanted to destroy each other planets

- you: haha, you said that it was solar system level.

laughing out loud WTF? do you see how stupid you sound here? That's exactly how it went.

Its called a retcon you little goon. From All Star Squadron 23, its explicitly stated that his powers were reduced to mere physical aspects with the half helmet.

Captain obvious strikes again!

Did you really think I didn't take the ASS retcon into account? Do you want me to destroy you even more? so be it....

You see the difference between you and me is that you cling to a single showing, be it a retcon or something and base your entire opinion off of it. While I on the other hand, take into account everything, which is why you will inevitably get destroyed. Like here, you're failing to realize that the all star squadron retcon happened in the 80s and was never the case in your fate scans. The Mordru/Dr Fate scene is from Justice League #147 (1977) the all star squadron retcon is from 1981 (4 years later), so in one word, yes or no, tell me, did the writer of the JL story know of the retcon which will happen 4 years later?

Moreover, below is the reason you should take account all character history to know of the power levels the character is operating at a certain scene. You say that Fate was reduced to a mere physical aspect right? (I did say that he was more of a physical powerhouse), but that's simply not true, because he did have magical powers even after he was wearing the so called half helmet (which back then wasn't associated with his power level).

Examples (note that Dr Fate was officially depowered in more fun comics #72 so those instances come later ill reference issue numbers)

#75: Uses telepathy

http://i.imgur.com/fCK0Nlj.jpg

#73: Uses energy projection

http://imgur.com/tR58Be0

#77: Same thing:

http://imgur.com/mj7ydyE

Here is Dr Fate using magnetic powers in All-Star Comics #16(not all star squadron which you seem to be mistaking for; ASC was published in 1940s), all the while he has a half helmet:

http://imgur.com/5waaPLu


And he's done it more than once in the title, hes also used electric powers in later issues of more fun comics.

So tell me again how was he reduced to a mere physical aspect? That's right, he didn't, at least not back in the day. Like you see he was never "officially" magically depowered back in the golden age, rather it was a gradual process. If you read his history you'll notice this but like always, you seem ignorant about these type of things. Heck even in the All Star Squadron #50 it was established that his tower was the only thing where he could do magic:

http://imgur.com/JnLqyZH

Which is why when you reference a comic from before the retcon you'll have to factor in the actual history of that era not just apply the retcon blindly without knowing the intention of the character's power level. Otherwise we'll have contradictions all over the place.

The half helm and full helm distinction was irrelevant back in the day, all there was was a gradual decrease in power with time. All the half helmet did back in the day was introduce his famous lung weakness, which as I posted before was still present when his supposedly "full helmet" came back (see world's finest #208 scan). Read the goddamn comics before trying to act like a smartass.

So was Time Trapper!

Everyone was weakling by random low showings from 40s!


Keep making fun but .....honest question: Did you actually read like anything from the golden age? because I find it hard to believe you find anyone even remotely approaching Odin back then, except the Spectre maybe, who definitely wasn't in All star comics when he appeared with the JSA.

1) the Spectre knocking out was before ASS #1, a time period when Spectre was weakened even by golden age standards. If we use your logic against you we'll have Spectre being extremely weak back then since he wasn't able to equal Zor's size in more fun comics #55:

http://imgur.com/Q53oSYG

And was defeated by him in #57:

http://imgur.com/f9Lt5wy

While fast forward to All Star Squadron annual #3 (which takes place chronologically at that same time era but a bit later) Spectre shocked Zor while outright dwarfing him:

http://imgur.com/JiofZBH

the one which Fate KO'd was the weakling when he was still around-below Zor's level. for what it's worth it was outright stated in an '86 bio that Fate with his original helmet is still dwarfed by the Spectre.

2) Fate defeated Ynar only when merged with Inza which wasn't a conventional power level for him. And they never endangered the multiverse. And The lords of chaos never endangered the earth under their own power much less the whole multiverse. It's just that they always reference the war between lords of chaos and order as being multiversal, as in spread throughout the multiverse, so if lords of chaos triumph over order they'll endanger the multiverse by spreading their influence. Anyway, these scans should clarify that the energies released from Fate's battle with Vandaemon empowered the gem which warped the Earth:

http://imgur.com/keYkTIo
http://imgur.com/tK5jEnA

3) I admit this one is impressive.

4) Refer to #1) regarding Spectre's power level in the golden age, the Fate/Spectre scan is from All-Star Squadron #4 which is when Spectre was weaker even by golden age standards.

Either way though, according to the Shining Knight, E2 Superman (who is weaker than E1 Superman) is doubtlessly the most powerful super-hero on Earth-two (which includes Spectre and Fate).

http://imgur.com/NXJ2ESU

So Superman > Spectre?
Statements are irrelevant when contradicted by on panel evidence.

His encounter with the spectre in ASS #27/28 was impressive though.

5) Am I supposed to be impressed that he taps into the power of creation to destroy a freaking ship? Dr Strange has tapped into the powers of creation as well to restore Thor's hammer. Previously he has also called upon the powers of God himself to absorb the power of an elder god's avatar. Magicians call upon higher powers all the time, doesn't mean they can actually equate them. It's just fancy words.

--------------

Anyway, let's look at other showings for Fate though (I did omit his half helm defeats so that you have no excuses whatsoever even if it was not relevant to his power level back then)

the title All Star Squadron takes place in WW2 in the 1940s not 1980s.

ASS was very closely tied with the 1940s title All Star comics where the golden age JSA used to appear, the title tied everything up pretty well,, even referencing the instance when Luthor became nigh omnipotent with the power stone in the golden age superman comics, and referencing/tying up various stories which the JSA undertook in the ASC title in the 1940s.

Here's all star squadron #50 outright replaying the events of All Star comics #13 when the whole JSA, including the Spectre were knocked out by regular gas. This was the reason behind their disappearance in like more than a dozen or so issues of All star squadron because they were rocketed off earth (just like originally in ASC #13 but back then all this happened in the space of a single issue)

It was just tying up loose ends like for example here referencing while also retconning the whole event as happening in an alternate universe, because originally in ASC #13 the JSA were rocketed off to the various planets their Earth's solar system, while ASS retcons it into them being rocketed into an earth's solar system of another universe, which is understandable because originally each of those planets were inhabited.

Your desperation is palpable. In order to lowball Darkseid, you've lowballed nearly everyone in pre crisis universe.


I broke down for you the entirety of Dr Fate's history. even going so as far as referencing issue numbers by rechecking the issues themselves (it's a tiresome task you know) and you ignored it all like clueless idiot. This time I posted all the relevant scans to shut you up for good.

"absolute beasts" in the silver age. Yeah, no. Golden Age Alan (same one from the silver age) was actually pretty weak and weaker than your standard GLs as they are portrayed nowadays. Later on in the silver age and bronze age he was upgraded to Hal's level who had many impressive feats admittedly but was at the same level as his post-Crisis self except under Johns. You seem to think PC characters were stronger, they weren't. in the golden age all characters were actually weaker except for street level characters like the atom or sandman who stayed the same, later in silver age great feats from heroes started to manifest although physical powerhouses like Superman or Captain Marvel were the exceptions back then in the early silver age/late golden age, everyone else was below them, bronze age was more consistent in terms of power level and portrayed the characters around the same power level as post-crisis.

Abhi's excuse is that letter's pages are unusable apparently despite the editor himself confirming it. For some reason, he expects a direct on panel statement saying that Hunger Dogs is non canon which we all know is not how comics work. Same thing with DC challenge.

Worse yet, he's hurting his own argument by saying that because it canonizes super powers where Darkseid was a joke compared to GDS.

And finally, he actually originally agreed that it's non canon but then just randomly decided to dispute its non-canonicity.

Your obsession to that single issue is worrisome. How hard is it for you to understand that the Time Trapper was retconned so that all his losses were for the controller.

There was a second time trapper which the real Legion never met as revealed in LOSH 38.




He said, "I'm fullfilled, for now."

Which we know is a lower level than before as his powers had waned over time. So no, it doesn't proves he was amped.

And Mordru is a skyfather? I thought he was simply another street level PC character? Around Captain America level as you so succinctly proved by showing Dr. Fate and Spectre being beaten by street level beings.

How can Darkseid be amped by such a weak character?



Again with the circular logic? How hard is it for you to show us a single scan where GDS Darkseid is definitely stated to be amped?

One single implication would be suffice.




I again emphasize, why are you going around in circular logic? Yes, he is. As it already happened.



Humans containing ALE. No, literally everything stated that he was weaker than usual.

GTFO with your circular logic.





What context? The one you made up? The timelines were destroyed by GL energy and Superman and Jaxon were able to counter that level of power to restore all of realities.





Oh your precious Mangog. And what did he do to claim being a greater threat than Ego and why should I care about random ABC comparison?

So much for context, eh?



Haha, oh you poor fool.





No, I'm comparing Darkseid to Entropy TT. As stated in comics.





Haha, read the comics you goon. I'm only showing what the comics stated.

Don't like it, don't blame me.





So fighting someone is stomping them, eh?

And how does Perrikkus kill Odin if he was so much weaker.



No, it wasn't. Zelia didn't fight Odin. Only Perrikkus did and we see Odin nearly defeated.



Empowered, eh?



And he defeated Perrikkus in that state only. A moon level being did that.





And that exhausted him. Even Kyle Rayner did better than him when he imprisoned Traitor in a planet's core.

So much for skyfathers.

laughing out loud



Must suck for Odin if even such a creature can beat the shit out of him and defeat him.





What multi universal power? And Thor also had his belt of strength. It wasn't just Odin power.



In the same reference he says he has fought Superman to a standstill.

But yeah, keeping him off balance is only thing they coul do when he was blinded.

And Red Tornado was a powerhouse in his own right pre crisis.



laughing out loud

You surely know how to lowball.



I've already shown those to you. Keep forgetting how to read though. That always works.

Seriously?



Yes, it was technological device. Yet, darkseid himself channeled it.

"Probably created by Desaad himself."

Haha, wut?



Let's face it, you are a doofus who doesn't know what the **** he is talking about.




Are you?



Haha, WTF? The continuity wasn't established? Hey you goon, its called a retcon. Not that the continuity wasn't established.



And Action Comics 586 directly references it.

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/29575145/ActionComics586p01.jpg.html

Glad to set that clear. So your insistence that it was always non canon? Bullshit.




It was the storm which was channeled with his life force. Not exactly a godblast.

Such weaklings.



Prove that by scans.



Why not? Ego is just a living planet which has the durability of a planet. There is nothing extraordinary about him.

Now should I be impressed with Ego because he fought shitty silver age Galactus and lost to Thor straight up?




Maybe?

laughing out loud

Jane straight up bashed Odin's face in. Deal with it.




Nope. Unless they have a bad showing which I'm unaware of?



Wut? Now Mordru wasn't as powerful as he would be later?

crylaugh



Yes. Mangog got killed by Tho FFS.







Read and learn.

http://imgur.com/2jfXWU6

Tell me more about he did all that under his own power. You'd have to try and ignore every single page of the comic to claim otherwise because the whole premise of the story was about DS's plan to displace the earth.

Wut? That was the machine Darkseid provided Tynion with. He himself was responsible for weakening of Earth's reality.

http://s6d6.turboimg.net/t1/29575579_dcchallenge-012-08.jpg

And he killed someone with power near universal level in one shot.



This is just idiotic on so many levels, I can't even begin to start the listings.



Yes, the ongoing continuity which was showing the multiverse already destroyed. COIE started in April 1985 and DC Challenge started in November 1985.

It is happening in pre crisis continuity which it refers to several times.



You can read I presume?





From the ongoing continuity which was showing Wonder Woman being returned to clay form in COIE and JLA satellite being destroyed.



Superpowers is non canon. DC Challenge is canon.





Still not at full power.



laughing out loud

What a rant! Art thou mad now?





I could say the same about you. Except without resorting to name calling that is.



Blatant lie.

And you yourself said that you take the comics into chronological order and now how they appear in the real time. Are you flip flopping again?



Yes, and Fate was with full helmet in Mordru scans. Unless you think full helmet Fate was less powerful than half helmet Fate, the retcon doesn't matters in those scans at all.

The retcon is only for the golden age stories where Fate appeared in half helmet.



I'm not mistaking anything. You are though. You claim was that Fate was depowered in 40s and throughout silver age he was depowered. Where is that stated?




And how does it matter for silver age Fate?



And it was retconned away in silver age that he actually was depowered and got back at full power between golden age and silver age.



Half helmet fate again.

As you are unable to understand again, Where the **** was full helmet Fate depowered in golden age and continued in silver age?



No, I don't have to. The retcon means Fate was only depowered when he had the half helmet and not at full helmet.

Yes, retcons always have contradictions by its very nature.



Hey doofus, that's what the retcon is for. Don't like it? Don't come crying to me.

Show me a scan of full helmet Fate being depowered as you claimed so proudly.




I'm not talking about Golden age Spectre. I'm talking about silver age Spectre who was a legitimate universal level power.



Quite irrelevant.



That's what the comics said too. But no, the Spectre Fate koed wasn't at All Star levels. The power levels had changed quite a bit by then.


I know. It was the full power of Nabu which was retconned as having never available to Fate before. But as you said, the retcon didn't matter in JLA comics.




Haha, WTF? The Lords of Order and Chaos created the entire creation from scratch in Dr. Fate v2. But somehow they are not multiversal?

GTFO.



So Fate wasn't Captain America level like Darkseid and Mordru?



No, he wasn't. Just a few issues later, same spectre hurled Fate through infinity of dimensions.



Which makes him impressive. Not weaken Fate or Spectre. Going by your Mangog>Ego logic of course.



Haha, sure. Unless they are Mangog and Ego.



So both are USAgent level?

abhilegend
And whose shockwaves radiated through two universes? Yes, you should be impressed. At least make him Hawkeye level by that power showings.



Fate owned entire JSA quite easily.

http://s6d6.turboimg.net/t1/29575837_99_10.jpg http://s6d6.turboimg.net/t1/29575838_99_11.jpg

Heck, entire JSA combined couldn't do anything to Fate.

So Captain America level at least.



Which were more powerful than Mordru himself? What a low feat.



And then he goes and shields entire JSA from Aquarius, a living star for two weeks.


What a weakling.



Defeats an evil Superman.

http://i.imgur.com/W4X1mBG.jpg



Miraclo was affecting his magic and weakening him.

http://s6d2.turboimg.net/t1/29576288_RCO025.jpg

But context doesn't matters, eh?




Haha, you are so entangled in your own headcanon that you don't even see how utterly ridiculous your entire logic is.

But go ahead, this is getting more amusing by every post.

So Fate was street level, is that what you are saying?



Good to know you don't give a shit about comics.





Haha, what? How was Hector able to channel full power of Nabu again? Kent V Nelson?






Yes, i know. And Spectre and Fate had beastly feats in that series.



Yes, where Spectre flat out says that he shouldn't be affected by gas as he is merely a spirit but turned out the weapon was Monitor science and hence affected him as well.

A retcon.



Did you even read the comic? It wasn't a normal gas. FFS, Spectre's dialog alone should let you know.



Due to arrival from Harbinger which retconned shit.








Simple enough? Or are you just making shit up and arguing just to argue? Same thing applies to your Ostrander comment, you're just randomly picking points and saying whatever random shit comes to your mind.

Is this supposed to make sense? Speak English.





Haha, sure. Remind me again how SBP was portrayed in post crisis.



Best joke I heard all day.





Just mocking you for your street level DC skyfathers depictions.



Krona was destroying universes straight up and absorbing them. Galactus wishes he was that powerful.

Guardians are spectre level in power. That's a step beyond your Odins and Galactus.

And Spectre overpowered IG and UN combined and was straight up shown peer to LT.

Get mad.

1. The evidence supports Galactus being capable of destroying and consuming universes. A branching timeline branching directly from the events of FF 244 and effecting 616 strongly represents Galactus's capabilities.

3. Spectre is shown as a peer of an LT sliver, not the multiversal LT.

Lolwut? That's an alternate Galactus and his hunger was altered by Tiamut and even then he was absorbing the matter of the universe for 20 years and couldn't even destroy one universe.



That's not mentioned anywhere. And he had to overpower the artifacts themselves to separate them.

And the universes were not being unmerged on their own.

abhi is right about BCA Galactus, though.

a.) That was an alternate Galactus. Feats of alternate characters are not interchangeable with their 616 counterparts.
b.) His hunger was altered by Tiamut's tech to be insatiable -- endlessly consuming like that isn't something he would/could normally do.
c.) Lip-service aside, he only destroyed a single universe at the very end of the arc -- and he used the UN to do so.

Just to clarify, Tiamut's tech didn't do anything. Tiamut HIMSELF altered Galactus to be that way while Tiamut was imprisoned and Galactus lay dying on Earth.

The machine I was referencing is the one Galactus was using to consume that universe. He NEEDED that machine to eat. Reed realized this and that's why his plan was to blow it up using the Shi'ar nukes/super weapons.

Mangog oneshotted Odin and was more powerful than Ego.


And Thor downed Mangog while he was more powerful than ever. Heck, even Iron Man drawing on the power of a city's power grid downed him momentarily.

It's specifically stated in the book that Galctus built the machine. There is a big difference between an alternate version of a character and an alternate branching timeline. If we travel back 20 years from the time of this Galactus, he would be 616. Same exact being. What logical reason would their capabilities not be comparable?

meh, you COULD be right in theory, but for purposes of the forum he's still an alternate version. he's officially stated to be galactus of earth 8810. of far more importance though is the fact that his hunger was very specifically tampered with by maybe the most powerful of the celestials, so the feat is meaningless anyway you look at it. correct me if i'm wrong, but, essentially all he did was create a massive black hole anyway, right? and he was basically/seemingly comatose while the whole thing was happening? over time he simply gained so much mass as he absorbed material that he affected spacetime around him. creating a black hole that was going to take....well, a LONNNGGGG a$$ time to absorb a universe has never seemed that impressive to me anyway. /shrug wiping out galaxies while weakened, his battle with scrier, stalemating agamotto in his realm and beating mephisto in his are all more impressive to me, among many of his other feats.

But even if it did, the fact still remains that his hunger was altered by Tiamut, yet he still never consumed so much as a single universe -- the UN was used for that.

Any way you slice it, the feat isn't interchangeable with standard 616 Galactus.
