The first 'herald' 3rd World Gog had during the recent JSA arc, fought [and held his own against] the same peeps + quite a few more. Said 'herald' also fought Infinity Man, who was the prime agent of the Source at the time, and seemingly got the better of him in their few-page battle. Yet 3rd World Gog was ultimately beaten by the same characters [less than, actually] his 'weaker' herald was stalemating/owning? Weird, I say.

It doesn't sound any different than Galan and Surfer during Annihilation.
Sometimes the herald looks better than the Boss.

I don't care what Gog might have been able to do, I'm talking about what he actually did [ie. feats] - and in that area, he just wasn't the proverbial 'cat's meow' imo.
Like I said, his first herald impressed me more than he did.
Well in this forum, we do go by what he could have done. Since he actually did Remove the very sight of the Dr. that he gave. It was in his power to do a many things. He simply talked thru the fight. His power may also have to do with the level of worship that he had at the time.
I read the arc. he wasn't impressive in the least. The original gog in this arc when it first began did more damage. This guy was easily taken care of. Yeah,they built this story up and then the heroes easily waxed him at the end. They kinda dropped the ball there. Overall a good arc though.
Yeah while Sentinel Alan Scott had a giant chain construct holding him with people all with super human strength pulling it Kc Superman, Power girl and a couple weaker people. Point is Starmans powers and a couple class 100+ characters held him down while the others blasted him. I really don't see anybody below the highest skyfather fending that off . Yeah he totally got pwned but alot would fall to that team.
I don't care that you don't care. In the Vs. Forum we discuss all of the time what a character might do. As I said, he simply talked too much. Even then, It was still the JSA with Thunderbolt. Even the original Gog herald didn't actually fight thunderbolt.
falty Logic. It was the combined assault on Gog that contributed to his demise. To say the blast didn't do much at all is faulty. Obviously they did have an effect as Thunderbolt is easily the most poweful JSA member and before he actually got into it, the JSA had trouble with a simple herald of Gog. And as for discussing powers, I didn't mention anything that God hadn't shown. Gog gave the dr. sight, he also removed his sight. So where in the heck you get off saying I am discussing imaginary powers is beyond me. I simply said Gog, could have removed everyone's sight.
