He's a god. He is tens of thousands of years old, and united the galaxy under his rule. He has AWESOME psychic, physical and psionic capabilites. He is the founder of the imperium of man.
Gender: Male Location: I'm everywhere man, EVERYWHERE!
They have several different comics.
But galactus would own the emporer, he has no self though or motivation, he'd just sit there on the golden thrown while Galactus syphoned his power. A tasty banquet indeed.
The emperor is the most powerful psychic EVER in the 40k universe. THe pre-heresy emperor (before he was wounded) was almost unbeatable. Warp travel would be impossible without his presence. He is THE god of humanity. The post-heresy one on the golden throne would lose, but the pre-heresy one defeated demons and gods that defied the laws of space and time. He was a master of 31st centuary technology, and was the oldest human ever (born at the birth of human civilization). He also was able to distort reality and iignore the rules of space and time.
Here we go again. Delusions of grandeur. Full Power Galactus is damn near omnipotent. A full power blast would kill the emperor, and whatever galaxy he's in.
Eternity = Galactus(Full Power Balance between life and death) = Death
Horus took it to him and both struck a fatal blow at the same time.
Hes not Omnipotent by any stretch of the imagination.
The whole 40k universe is flawed and perverse thats what makes it interesting.
If he was omnipotent the primarchs would never have gone missing and he wouldn't have had to spend centuries looking for them and he wouldn't have needed legions of Space Marines to re conquer the Imperium.
He was Psychic before the Golden throne and was more than a match for Greater Daemons but if he had met a Chaos God it would have been game over.
Bottom line hes powerful the most powerful Human to have lived in that universe and his Psychic powers made Proffesor X look like a novice but he wasn't omnipotent and although super humanly strong he wasn't the Hulk although he could probably beat Spiderman in an Arm Wrestle.
Khorne, Nurgle, Slannesh, Tzeencth the four ruinious powers are Gods and the closest thing The 40k universe has to Galactus and although the Emperor could shield himself from them he couldn't take them on on there own plane of exsistence and beat them.
Galactus destroys planets the Emperor needed a battle fleet and a few Viral bombs to do that.
Rick Priestly who wrote the Game and helped Create the Universe is a close personal friend of my uncle who did the art for the first edition of the Game and I used to work for games workshop so I think this is a subject Im an authority on lol
Well, the chaos gods were said to have recognised the emperor as a being that they could not possibly hope to truely defeat, and that with all 20 primarchs, he would be invunerable.
And Horus wasnt more powerful than the emperor. THe emperor just held back during the fight, as he didnt want to kill his most beloved 'son' , and couldnt believe that horus was evil. Until horus killed a loyalist termie, and the emperor just killed him with one single blast.
Ok one the Chaos Gods can not take a corpreal form which is why they have Daemons.
Horus was a primarch possessed by a Daemon he was beyond a normal Primarch.
He did indeed kill Sanguinus not a loyalist Terminator and Sanguinus scarificed himself to buy the Emperor some time.
And they did indeed fight hand to hand Horus struck the Emp at the same time Horus died the Emperor was close to death and thats the reason hes int he Golden throne.
You really want to debate me don't lie and make this stuff up.
My Uncle is Anthony Ackland who along with John Blanche did the concept art and the art for WH4OK Rogue trader I used to work for the company and Ive chatted to Rick who WROTE the game on numerous occasions.
If you want me to start pulling issues of WD and the Heresy history from various games Like Adpetus Titanicus, Space Marine, Epic and 40k just give me a holla and I will be happy to.
Best thing to do when your proved wrong is to stop talking...
Ahh I see where you read the holding back thing and the Terminator coming in when the Emp was down.
So you weren't making it up but thats on a site and wasn't written by Games Workshop staff.
It's a nice story but only really one persons interpretation of the final battle.
Fact is they did go hand to hand and Horus did cripple the Emp.
If he was omnipotent fight wouldn't have lasted 5 seconds Emperor would have willed him dead from his palace and wiped out the legions while he was at it.
Horus did kill sanguinius, but the emperor didnt want to attack horus. The Emperor wasnt wanting to kill the one he considered to be his most beloved 'son'. Then Horus killed a loyalist termie, and the emperor saw that terra was in real danger, and struck horus with one single blast. He didnt just kill him, but eradicated his prescence in the warp.
