Like Braniacs Ship. Cant be created by magic or cosmic power.

The Source Wall?

When characters make/remake universes/multiverses, wouldn't these count as artifacts? Personally, I think these actions are absurd, smacking of waayyy over-the-top one-upmanship. Nonetheless, these cosmic fabrications are things made, like a ship.

The Source Wall is more an accumulation of would-be usurpers/pretenders, than a piece of tech. It also has a sort of bio-organic element to it... I wouldn't call it a manufactured machine anymore than I would call 'God'(from The Authority) a machine. /shrug



As for *actual* machines/tech...

Either the Quantum Mechanics' ship, which housed dozenS of worlds:

Or Invictus' ship, which was a model solar system:

Hell, you could even go the good ol' fashioned Taa II route here:

I agree that it's exact history and what it is has never been verified, but I would definitely call it a structure.

It appears differently depending on the artist, but it's commonly portrayed as being an actual wall in blank spaces where there are no "usurpers" present and/or as clearly being a wall behind the usurpers.

Example 1
Example 2

And since it spans creation, it is definitely the biggest thing (even if you don't want to call it a structure) in comics that I can think of

That much was evident after Black Hand resurrected most of the beings bonded to it, which left only the relatively blank/baron Wall behind:

But again: there is a clear bio-organic component to the Wall, and its origins are completely unknown... Didn't seem like the intent of this thread was to list 'meta' structures. /shrug

Lila Cheney's Dyson sphere is much larger than Taa II, at least if diameter/volume is used as the criterion. It even has a star in it. It's mostly empty space, though.

Cool, i was just guesstimating.

Fun fact:
Kirby never drew the Source Wall. It was first actually seen in the X-Men/Teen Titans crossover.

Impericon was ridiculous. It was like an intergalactic resort/getaway that was so massive its luxury suites had its own moons and some moons were used as nightclubs. They also had bazaars along its entire equator that were described as endless.

The Collector's ship was large enough to hold a small solar system. It had cranes that could yank moons out of orbit..

For example, here is the 'wall' as depicted in Swamp Thing #62 (1987):

A structure which spawned all the known and unknown dimensions and served to protect that which is the end of all things " , " The Source "

" Beyond any known measures of time and space lies the wall spawning all the dimensions it spreads an infinite barrier between all that lies without and the unguessable secrets thats lie within . The Secrets of The Source "

And takion travelled across all the higher dimensions reaching beyond the totality of the source wall and describes the source as boundless and timeless in the void nothingness

And thank you, Galan.

Is the entire source wall filled with old gods? I thought it was only near apokolips and new genesis

I can't remember if it was part of anything that qualified as a true structure, but in the story where Galactus finally fought the Rogue Watcher who witnessed his birth in the beginning of the universe the Watcher arranged thousands(maybe even hundreds of thousands) of stars and planets into... something. It's been so long since I read the story the details escape me.

It's been so long since I read the story the details escape me. The Rogue Watcher arranged those stars into some sort of geometrical lattice/web/grid pattern:

And he did the same basic thing with numerous planets that were integrated into an actual structure of his own design:

*Which is very much reminiscent of the Quantum Mechanics' ship(I posted scans of it on the last page.)

wow even more impressive than I'd remembered. I was thinking the arrangement was thousands of stars which is monumental, but 100 milion is just... f*cking wow. That's one Watcher that could definitely kick some Celestial ass lol

No doubt. The feat is actually quite staggering, tbh.

what about that gigantic fleet that spanned an entire galaxy?

Was there any overall scale given to the structure that was made up of the planets or was it left ambiguous beyond what we saw in those few panels?

No, not really.

However, it was vast enough that it took Nova a good deal of time to traverse through a portion of the structure, even while traveling at light speed:

Wow I really wish they would have provided more info from the perspective of the narrator or something. I mean they did give some reference from her perspective, but concrete info is always nice. If we take her words at face value though, we do know that it's billions of miles across and contains all the building materials from hundreds of millions(if not billions) of star systems so yeah, I'd say it's definately right up there up there in the size department. If there's a structure as defined by this thread in comics that's bigger... well I've never freaking heard of it lol. I think we may have found a winner for the purposes of this thread.

Is it ever stated as to whether or not the star pattern is actually connected and part of the structure itself, or are they more like landing lights to guide big G to the core?

That's the reason I said "as defined by this thread" lol


You know what Marvel should do? They should put out a cosmic cosmic story with that features the Rogue Watcher and ends with him starting the building of his super structure.

Thought Robot.

It's a bit of a weird one but the palace The Endless built with their hands for Dream's funeral must be up there, given that the implication was that it was big enough so that every creature that dreams was able to attend Morpheus' funeral. And they built it overnight.

Obviously a weird one as it is The Endless and it was in the Dreaming. But we did see them physically building it so I guess it counts.

On that note, the Silver City has also been implied to be infinite/endless, and Lilith's children literally built it by hand.

Moreover, the Silver City and Heaven used to be written as completely different places. However, if you look at Morrison's Map of the Multiverse, the Silver City is now shown to actually BE Heaven. IOW, the Silver City=Heaven / Heaven=the Silver City -- they are one in the same. This fact has also been corroborated in the current/ongoing Lucifer series.


So yeah, just something else to mull over regarding massive 'structures', lol.

Didn't Galactus and the rogue watcher battle it out until the former exploded into a big bang? Id appreciate it if you post that scene. Always wanted to read that story but couldn't obtain it.

That is what happened, but their battle is all narrative...

Well, that was disappointing. Was hoping for a visual illustration of the event.

Thanks anyway.

Bump

Any new additions?
