Going through the blackhole apparently sent him far away into the Universe.

Also, awesome stamina feat.

Not to mention Supergirl and Superman blitz the whole planet while Superman is still weak from that kryptonite blast.

-Injustice-

Constantine recollects the final moments of the SC/GL War:

John's magics are still uber as f*ck in the Injustice universe--a fact he displays by effortlessly transporting to The Tower of Fate(with his daughter), which is located outside of time and space:

Apparently John is the only person to have ever done this--which is why Fate and Zatanna freaked out.

IGN: I just wanted to touch on each character who appears in that image. First out of the gate was the new female Thor. Thor has often been said to be the Superman in the Marvel Universe in that he's one of the, if not the, most powerful characters. So now the most powerful person in the universe is a woman. How does that affect the rest of the Marvel Universe?

Alonso: Well, it's seismic. You're taking the epitome of masculinity and, as you said, arguably the strongest character in the Marvel Universe (who is not the Hulk) and you've flipped the switch. So yeah, this is going to have a seismic impact in the Marvel Universe, to see this character.

mmm

Hulk isn't the strongest being in the Universe though. Whoever wrote that is dumb. Thor got some praise at being called one of the most powerful being in the Universe and he is.

Edit

CBR:I wanted to jump in and look ahead to some of Marvel's major releases coming out in the next couple of weeks. "Thor" #1 is out this coming Wednesday, starring the new, female Thor. That's a series that has gotten a lot of pre-release hype -- and there may be some misinformation among folks still about what the book is all about. What are you looking forward for people to see from that series when it's finally in their hands in a few days?

Alonso: That's it's a great story! [Laughs] All the excitement started because Jason Aaron pitched a great story that just happened to translate into a very easy-to-understand high concept that translated into an easy-to-understand image. But everything is rooted in a great story. Thor can no longer pick up the hammer, there must be a Thor, and someone will be worthy to wield the hammer -- a woman close to Thor whose identity will remain a secret for some time. Who is she? Why is she worthy? What does she do with that hammer? You're about to find out.

CBR: Saying readers won't know the character's identity for "some time" again underscores that the plan is for this to be something of a long-term story -- not one that's going to wrap up in a few issues.

Alonso: Oh yeah. This is a long-term story. The identity of the new Thor is going to be a running mystery in the story, and we'll drop clues and red herrings along the way. The Marvel Universe's strongest character is going to be a woman… and you won't even know her secret identity for a while.

Not that it matters.

I think ABHI wanted to point out Thor being treated like Superman when that's not the case.

Writers and such throw out those kind of lines all the time. It's lunacy to try to read too much into them. It's also not untrue to say he's one of the most powerful, in the sense that they're using the term. They don't mean it like we would if we said the same, and they're not counting every obscure abstract that Joe Q. Thorfan doesn't know about. He's the flagship "big gun" on their biggest team. Anything beyond that is missing the point.

Get out of here with your common sense!

Lol. Interpretations are subjective, but that's also sometimes a cheap way of excusing poor comprehension. I'm not accusing anyone of that right now, and there ARE legitimate ambiguities in words or - more often - comic feats posted in this thread. But too often, I find it depressingly instructive to see how much context is ignored, or how those in a discussion/argument don't critically consider the opposing argument.

Thor is definitely the most powerful being in the Marvel universe.

Shut up, Galan. We all know you're the puppeteer of this chaos. You scan dump on us every Wednesday, then gleefully sit back and watch everyone rip each other's heads off with reaction.

uhuh

Everything was so much better when Galan was on ignore 👆

I'm a bit more cynical. I don't think it's poor comprehension so much as willfull ignorance, intellectual dishonesty or intentionally ignoring context. All over comics. I just don't get how some are so invested.

You forgot to add "DC and Mortal Kombat Universes!"

It is a bit mystifying sometimes, yeah. KMC isn't even the apex of such things, though. I've watched video meltdowns of obsessed comic fans analyzing this stuff.

You come with mere cynicism?

The bar can be raised far higher than that.

Would that I could have distilled my thoughts as well as the following poster back in December of last year.
Would that I were even truly familiar with his terminology or the concept as more than a powerful attention-attracting title for a thread when I created it.

The very concept right down to the very foundation of comic books is Luciferian; a power fantasy to have powers unto that of God. Superpowers.

I would say it is exactly the opposite. Not Lucifer but God. ^^

Luciferian by definition is the belief man can become as gods.
