<<Superman is nothing compaired to most cosmics. He's an Earth hero who does things on a planetary scale, cosmics do things on a universal scale.>>
long, he's beaten darkseid, one of dc's MOST cosmics. he's fought a war against imperiex, a galactus-level cosmic! he played a monumental role in crisis - the MOST 'cosmic book' ever.
to say supes is NOT 'cosmic' is ridiculous, long.
<<Adam Warlock has demonstrated no psionic abilities. But he seems to have a defense to psionic attacks.>>
that's from his marvel bio. so he's not using telepathy to screw with supe's head - something supes has high resistance to anyway.
now, to say supes could have his soul sucked is a debatable point in IMHO. for the sake of argument (otherwise it's ridiculous to put ANYONE up against AW, and common sense and comicbook history clearly shows this should NOT be the case) i say he would NOT be able to drain supes's soul. and there is no way his 'karmic' blasts would take out a guy who has taken the omega effect in stride, along with a veritable legion of other, even more powerful, attacks. and sentry is right of course. i brought rune to illustrate that it IS possible to resist the gem's effects. and as i said, other's have done it too. it's possible AW doesn't use the powers of the gem to its fullest, but we go by what we see in books. warlock is a mystery, to be sure, and tough to get a handle on, but he is not magical. thir and herc have both beaten him, and if he cannot steal supe's soul, he could not win this battle either.
