Except it was stated as his main goal.
It didn't say he discharged energy in honor of Airwalker. It says he "generated " a black hole.
Let me know if you want to understand what the bolded part means.

It has been... I was gone for a bit, and I wasn't sure if you were still lurking here or not. Happy birthday... don't party too late, old man.
Yup I still like to lurk, me going back to actually bothing to chime in my 2 cents is still a relatively recent even though. Most of the time it's not worth the trouble.

Someone want to post actual scans of the entire black hole incident?
Not that it really matters as Superman has held a black hole in his hands.

The black hole was an accompanying, consequential effect of an energy blast. It's worth specifying that the black hole was an accompanying, consequential effect of a different action that Surfer took because, intended or otherwise, it emphasizes that the black hole was created indirectly, and therefore with greater ease.
Man, if only we had a word for that.... The Surfer wanted to create a blackhole, and the energy blast was specifically for that purpose. If the sole purpose of the energy discharge is to create a black hole, that is its primary effect, and not a side-effect.
I'll ask you the question again, try not to dodge it this time, smurphy:
If I wanted to give you a black eye and punched you in it, is the black eye a side effect, or the primary effect of what I wanted?

I don't do you. There is literally nothing that indicates Morg had WOL.

Oh I like it. That's why I know Superman can not be even hurt by Surfer because he tanked a multiversal black hole.
But wait, that does not matters, right? Only surfer gets the high end feats. All others are done by averages? Right?

Surfer generates a black hole to honor his friend's passing...that obviously means he didn't intend it, and it was just a side effect!

Again, I haven't even mentioned Supes's feats. I'm simply pointing out that feats matter on KMC despite your desire to say that they don't.

Nothing imaginary about it bru, I posted a scan about it a while back and it was in the Annihilation story and also in Morgs annihilation bio.

Well, I've been helping Phil with definitions, so I got you covered on this one: generated does not mean 'main goal'.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/generated
And also, a main goal can be an "accompanying, consequential effect".

If I wanted to give you a black eye and punched you in it, is the black eye a side effect, or the primary effect of what I wanted?
If you punched me in the face, no, I don't think that I would describe the black eye as the primary effect of the punch, even if it was your priority, or the only effect you cared about causing.
I would tell you that the primary effect would probably be pain.
Obviously this is all a matter of perspective, which brings us back the point: it's worth specifying that the black hole was an "accompanying, consequential effect", because it underlines that Surfer created it in a roundabout way, which emphasizes the ease with which he did it. It offers that perspective.
There are more particular ways that you could describe the feat, I just don't think this way is wrong, and I think it better emphasizes the important part of the feat (imo) than simply saying that Surfer created a black hole.

Are you really still railing against the term? You offered to get a mod ruling on it and I said I was totally cool with that. Go ahead and get their input on the matter.

And yes that's Morg with WOL, the same Morg that survive the ultimate Nullifier.
Hahaha, what? Thing and Spider-Man have survived Ultimate Nullifier as well.
Surfer and Morg's combined blast defeated Morg as Morg was already dazed when he crash landed on the planet. quote:
LMAO, what? Are you back for your yearly ass whooping?
That's Champion before he got the power gem. In fact he got the gem at the end of the arc in SS v3 18. Are you really that desperate? quote:

That's some black hole level attack right there.

Why is it a side-effect, when the intent of my action is specifically for that effect?
Tell me, smurphy, what is the primary effect of Silver Surfer's blast, so that the side-effect is the black hole?

How would he do it in a non-roundabout way?

No they always matter to some degree, just like character comparisons. I freely acknowledge that basically everything in comics has to be taken with a grain of salt, but that's far different than suggesting that either category isn't worth considering.

Except when it's the only thing mentioned as a product.
Surfer didn't "generate" an energy blast, he "generated" a black hole.
If you want, I can make it even simpler smurphy. quote:

Except that's just contradictory. But at least you amended that the creation of the black hole was main goal.
It's a start.
