So here's something and it rather bothers me. But does DC Zeus show ANYTHING at all in relation to his power? Does he have any feats whatsoever?

Because...the guy has 100+ appearances and I have to figure, in at least one of those appearances he has shown something. Anything at all, does anyone know or have any scans? It would seem rather stupid that out of all those appearances, he hasn't shown anything.

"Anything at all", well, of course he did. He's not what you'd put Marvel's Odin level of skyfather, so don't expect anything on his level (although there is one) but yes, he does have some feats.

Although, his power level from one period to another are supposed to fluctuate, like for example, there's an issue of Wonder Woman, directly after Genesis, which established that he became more powerful since he merged with his roman counterpart (when Highfather merged Odin, Jove, Zeus, Ares and himself into one being to enter the Source, then Zeus/Jove got expelled but they remained merged together). Yet later afterward in the series it was implied that Zeus got weaker since his worshipers have become low, while Ares and Aphrodite were the ones who are growing in power. Just so you know before i post the feats.

WW v2 #10: Was easily owning Diana, until getting called by Hera:

WW v2 #19: A recollection of an event, it's stated that Zeus (although he had help) defeated the Titans including Cronus (who is above regular Skyfather pantheons, which was proven more than once):

(Same thing we're told in an issue of New Teen Titans).

After this, the whole cosmic migration of the gods happened.

WW v2 #122: Zeus established Olympus again on Earth (linking them together) which heralded the return of the gods to Earth:

WW v2 #177: In a retelling of an event Hades along with Zeus imprison an amped Ares (who, even unamped, is a DC skyfahter level character):

BTW, this is only retelling, it's not happened live on panel.

WW v2 #194: There was a being called "Shattered God", who was literally remaking the whole universe and existed before the big bang. So skyfathers from various pantheons gather together, and they chanel all their power through Zeus (who also adds his own power) to shatter the Shattered God:

In an arc of "the Titans", spanning a couple of issues, it dealt with Hypertime, and Zeus manages to access the Hypertime and grant access to the titans to one of its worlds:

WW v3 #29: Zeus fights and beats a god in a pretty impressive battle. This god has cosmic power over the heavens and supposedly created some worlds and stars :

Here's perhaps his most impressive feat, which was also weird and the canonicity of this arc (Death of the New Gods) is questionable. But anyway, Zeus, along with Jove and Odin straight up split the source (which is the energy that bind everything in all creation, and it was capable of giving the Spectre the power to contain the entire multiverse inside him in the Genesis arc, back in the 90s):

It's his highest showing but it's also highly contradictory, too.

He's also got implied power. Being part of The "Quintessence" residing beyond time/space. They appeared in several arcs, here's one from JLA:

Also, there's a 1986 "Who's Who" bio (equivalent to Marvel's OHOTMU), which speaks highly of Zeus. It says that Destiny of the endless is the only being who resisted Zeus' "limitless power":

http://i.imgur.com/GfkFDQZ.jpg?1

although back then he wasn't one of the endless, that wasn't until Gaiman's Sandman, he was still an ancient deity existing at the beginning of creation, and was at that same time period established to operate on a multiversal scale. This statement is based on a Pre-Crisis story, specifically New Teen Titans v2 #9.

Those are all DC Zeus' relevant feats/things. I don't think i mis-remembered any.

Question: In Before Watchmen, did Ozy still continue with that alien invasion plan of his, or was it retconned to coincide with what took place in the movies?

Another question: if Jon had vast control over matter, then why didn't he just cure Janey's cancer? It disconcerted him enough to sulk away on Mars, but the more logical thing to do would have been to simply cure Janey. And if her aging is what caused him to seek out jailbaits, then why didn't he deage her to the thirty?

The Before Watchmen comics didn't fit with the movie continuity at all. They kept the original plotline.

Who has tanked a Cyclops full power blast ?

Depends how you define "full power". Do you mean without his visor?

Also depends how you define tanking. Namor comes to mind.

WWH, too... although:

a) Cyke was going to max power, not necessarily having reached it.

b) He still had his visor.

Could be with visor. Any non holding back blast, trying hard, etc.

he can't really do "full power" with his visor, even if some stupid writers don't take that in to account.

And anyone ever tanked/survived his blast without visors ?

Christos Gage is not a stupid writer.

Yes. Namor.

Do you guys think was PIS to Namor tank that ? Because i saw some Scott fans saying he could even hurt/K'O a Herald with his full power blast. But Namor being a limit to his powers is not that much...

Namor is tough as hell... don't underestimate him.

Yes. Namor.

He had an off-day the day he wrote that series, imo. So either stupid or lazy works for me.

Actually, it was a great mini compared to the rest of the WWH event.

Strange smash 😘

Well... That's not saying much.

But yeah... Eww.

I thought this was good:

And goes nicely with this:

Question about Silver Surfer: I know he has the ability to bind a being's life force to a specific planet, so that if they leave it they die, but what would happen if he did that and then destroyed the planet?

Assuming the person was tough enough to survive the explosion, would they die since the planet was gone, or would their life force no longer be bound to it?

Thor is immune against eletricity ?He can tank any kinda of eletricy based attacks ?
