he had fire breath...... 😕
batman's put martians down with fire... not really impressed...
-"no it's not... in supes 175 he at least had the upperhand on supes for a bit...and took supes primary puches with little to no effect at all....."
Wouldn't that along with the showing against J'onn prove Rex wasn't inherently weaker than any other version? Not to mention Rex and Gog Wars are implied to be the same clone.

Prior to the fire breath Rex took 3 of J'onn's best hits to no effect and then brought him to his knees. Not mention he blocked his telepathy. How is that not better than the DOS showing?
Originally posted by ValidusDD didn't have fire breath and he didn't stay long enough TO be taken out... still doesn't prove that rex's showing is better than DOS....
J'onn was much weaker in DOS and he was hardly taken out of that fight.
Originally posted by Validusno but he was gaining the upperhand on both her and supes by the time she pulled that stunt at the gas station... long story short.. DD's durability>>>supes and maxima...
Not that it matters but DD never actually beat Maxima either.

DD put J'onn down again in Villains United amongst a group of others.

No matter what you fail to answer for that. The fact that Superman is the one who constantly beats him just proves my original point.
the only time aside from DOS that supes could even threaten dd was when he was fighting the rex version of the character... which proves my original point...

Originally posted by Validus[/B][/QUOTE] kinda... but you're ignoring a very important fact.. in apocolips now DD rex was vaporised into primodial ooze.... the DD that evolved from that was gog wars dd who took on the physical characteristics of his former self while retaining his intelligence and losing his "fear" of superman.... DD rex is what existed before that evolution took place...
Not to mention Rex and Gog Wars are implied to be the same clone.
which brings up a question.. where did this DD come from? in gog wars and the storyline thereof he's said to have traveled for some time before ever getting back to earth to fight gog and his army... but this dd shows up WELL before that ever takes place...
i dunno there's a lot of shady things in that comic... like bane.. when the hell did he get back on the venom? hell he was clean even in no man's land but he's back on the juice now?
finally I'm not sure that the DD that fought in IC WAS lacking intelligence as you said.. sure he didn't say anything.. but he was sentient enough to pick sides... I don't know... I got a lot of questions and I don't think DC's gonna be giving answers anytime soon.
