If it's the former, I wouldn't be surprised if his full power scream could actually take out Thanos. That would definitely make it a Skyfather level attack.
When did ever BB showed Skyfather level of attack ???
The Bomb in the end of War of Kings, powered by his scream (a charged attack) destroyed a solar system.
A Skyfather, like Odin, can destroy a galaxy. Cant see BB having a Skyfather level attack.

Yep, first scream was a high end durability feat for Thanos. Not sure why they needed this reveal, unless their going to keep BB at a lower level.

If anything this makes BB a helluva lot more formidable than most gave him credit for.

I know. I meant that if his scream is at full power, Black Bolt is uber powerful.
So basically like I've always said, all hail the King.

Did it say anywhere that his power was being syphoned or did the voice attack activate the bomb? Until this question is answered, it appears Thanos took atleast 1 full powered scream from BB. With all these asterisks being thrown on Thanos' stomping of BB, atleast he can take away that stellar Thor showing. Reminiscent of when he took the full on blast from Surfer with zero effect.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Thanos/Infinity004-012.jpgHmm, so it seems his voice activated the Bomb and spread it world wide. What I'm not sure of now is did it siphon off the sound from his original scream at Thanos (Meaning he didn't get hit with anywhere near the full blast) or somehow from his body directly?

If it greatly diminished his powers from that point on it didn't diminish the scream which already left his mouth. That makes zero sense.
Is that why the bomb is glowing and energy is activating etc...BEFORE it even hits Thanos?

Makes sense (lol).
Originally posted by carver9Scream already left his mouth. That means fully powered. At the point the bomb glows it diminished him but the scream had already left his mouth. If I go running for a sprint at the end I am greatly diminished not in the first twenty yards. Dear god.

Looks like as soon as he screamed the bomb perked up. So it almost immediately began using his quasi sonic energies.
Yea, the evidence suggests that the bomb started working almost immediately. However, I'm thinking that the it mostly likely siphoned the energy directly from his body which is why he is so greatly diminished instead of just from the scream. Which I guess in that case would mean he was weakened almost from the start so ultimately, Thanos still didn't take a full power scream except maybe for a moment before the bomb went off.
Well whatever, Black Bolt still came out looking good.

It's not clear how the bomb depowered Black Bolt.
It could be that the bomb's explosion, which Black Bolt and Thanos were caught in, depowered him. Or it could be that the initial full scream which was used to activated the bomb depowered him.
In any case, the first scream was definitely at full power, and obviously reached Thanos before the bomb. The way I see it is the energy emitted from the full scream was partially used to activate and power them bomb.

Pretty much the only way to realistically interpret it. Thanos never got the full dose. This is the second time a bomb plot device has been used to diminish a Black Bolt scream. War of Kings being the other.
Originally posted by dmillsThe scream left before it hit the bomb. Saying it was depowered before it hit him makes no sense whatsoever.

The bomb started working only after Black Bolt screamed. This suggest the scream is what activated it. It also heavily implies the scream is what powered it too. What evidence is there to suggest the bomb siphoned energy off his actual body? Black Bolt was no where near the bomb when it activated. There was no implied connection between the bomb and Black Bolt, except the scream.
He screamed before the bomb was activated, but the bomb turned on before we saw it hit Thanos.
Which is why I think the best interpretation is that he was indeed hit by the full power but only momentarily.

The reveal in New Avengers #12 that it left Black Bolt greatly weakened. Why would siphoning off the energy from a scream leave Black Bolt at less then half power? That doesn't make any sense.
Perhaps when it tapped into the scream it forced him to expel a much larger amount of energy. It's only speculation though. Hopefully we'll get more of an explanation later but I doubt it.

Yes, so it still hit Thanos and left his mouth prior to once again reaffirming what I just said.
No, the soundwaves were converted into light as they left his mouth. The commentary literally explains it to you. The bomb got the bulk of the power. That was Maximus' plan all along.
The fact that the power of his voice was dispersed into two different courses (the bomb and directed at Thanos) automatically means that Thanos didn't get the full monty.
