Loki tricked Doctor Strange with an illusion into giving him over the Sorcerer Supreme title. So he was the Sorcerer Supreme and had the power upgrade.
Being pissed doesn't mean you're going all out. I can point out a lot of showings of Superman being pissed during combat and you all would deny it. Also, new Supes, NEW Supes, doesn't have far more showings. I am talking about the Superman after the merge. Hello!!!
Going by average of high showings via combat, Jane showings piss on his showings. Phil used a ft of him getting mutilated by a group of Heralds as a high showing. If it takes fts like that to prove that Superman is operating above Herald tier then Jane is the better.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
yeah i was thinking the same thing. just because loki, of all people, says it, doesn't come close to meaning all of the weapons would ACTUALLY fail. hard to believe that some of what they have wouldn't be enough to end him. i'd love to see a god blast and what effect it would have. i'd also LOVE to see unworthy thor and that axe go into warrior madness. see how tough mangog REALLY is....
There's a good chance that you'll get your wish in regards to the Godblast. Since a Godblast is powered by lifeforce and Jane's dying anyway, I can totally see her putting ALL of her life energy into the blast to take down Mangog in the end.
Jane might stop him in the end, but that doesn't make Loki's statement untrue...
I mean, I can understand some skepticism, but like, how can Aaron make it any clearer at this point that Mangog can't be stopped with just brute force? Have him systematically stomp every deity ever?
I don't see why Loki would be lying at that point. His goal is save his mother, Freya. She is the one who he REALLY cares about. At the moment, she's getting choked to death by Mangog like some hentai porn. If there was something that could stop him, why wouldn't he use it?
I thought he was a clear writing tool to address all the fan complaints of why Mangog is just storming through Asgardia without any of the big artifacts whipped out.

I don't think Sorcerer Supreme gives you a power upgrade, not for someone like Loki in the classic sense, who is himself a master sorcerer with a great resource but there is SOME change. I think the title invokes the ability to access entities, artifacts, and other items that no one else can.
Even in this issue. He prefaces sending Freya away even from Mangog BECAUSE he's Sorcerer Supreme. Which implies it would be difficult, or not possible for someone who isn't the Sorcerer Supreme to do.
He was after all, stalemating supposedly the most powerful Doctor Strange ever.
The plot device is Jane. She's doing what a Thor does, being the greatest God who ever lived. I just wish Thor and Odin were dead in some glorious battle so they didn't have to be dragged through the mud to justify her existence.
People are getting their panties in a tizzy over Jane, forgetting that the entire point of her journey is a mortal living up to the example that Thor set out. The best feat in all of Thor's history was still written by Jason Aaron: (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)
Trillions of gods, across all of time, any God that had ever been born, lived, or died was saved by Thor doing the impossible. And this story specifically took into account the existence of Elder/Old Gods. Retarded bro.
And proceeds to immediately attempt to lowball Jane. It's like a mental disease.
Also, Jane Thor and Hercules stalemting in an arm wrestling isn't a low showing WTF. Nor is stalemating a Hulked out She-Hulk that was literally a stand in for the Hulk.....
Nice! An even better speed feat than Jane's brain surgery under Aaron.
Anyone ever browse through the first page of the vs. Forums? Abhil is like a gay candy man. Say Superman 3 times in the mirror and he'll appear behind you in Superman undies jerking off into JLA/Avengers.
We need to create a separate forum for Superman related threads. It's sad.
