1. he didn't take down the whole jla. not in v&v (where johnny sorrow was his ally and so were the 7 deadly sins) or in the more recent arc jla arc. red tornado stepped in and of course zatanna stopped him. could zatanna stop thanos so easily? i'd HIGHLY doubt it . . .

and mm DID put up a fight. in the old jla arc, the new jla arc and even in v&v. but yes, in the end, despero WAS more powerful. is mm the limit then on tp?


Zatanna probably should be able to stop Thanos just as easily as she did Despero, as should Strange.

Then again Zatanna is banned and she IS below Thanos.

How much of a fight are we talking about. re we talking about a few panels where despero just eventually overwhelms him completely or an actual battle where it kinda goes back and forth.

Leo I'm not about to sit here and state the same exact stuff I did pages ago. If you want my opinion go back a few pages. Until Digi gets here I'm going to hand out more obviously banned characters because they never proved to be Superman's superior.

😑

not sure what that means, exactly . . .

but . . .

all right. i did my best. but the only reason you gave was because he was a team wrecker. he's not -- not without prep. with prep, LOADS of acceptable characters are team wreckers.

meh, if the other glc members ban him, c'est la vie. but he SHOULD be allowed . . . ask yourself how you honestly think he'd do against the ss. 😛

and even if he IS banned, i still luv ya like a brutha from anotha mutha! 😄

So I'm going through the Silver Surfer respect thread and I come across this.

Oh yeah now I remember I wanted to say ON thanos level like if it took her take him down then that should tel you he needs to be banned.

My god , a man steps off the plate to watch Doctor Who and the thread goes to pot.

Despero is a powerful villain. The Flame of Py'tar gave Despero physical strength and durability that surpasses beings like Superman and Captain Marvel. Also very intelligent, he is skilled as both a warrior and tyrant. His hypnotic third eye is directly connected to his brain, giving him telepathic powers that surpass (as seen in JLA #119) those of the Martian Manhunter. It is also capable of projecting realistic illusions and entrancing virtually any sentient being. It can also project beams of telekinetic energy enabling the teleportation of matter anywhere in the universe.

In his current form, Despero can possess any living being, granting the victim the strength and telepathic abilities of his own body.

Despero is banned , get over it.

Do you have to hear Zatanna speak for her words to affect you? Like what if a blind one legged deaf man was charging towards her in a wheelchair, if she said "pots" would he stop?

Doesn't mean anything but we're not getting anywhere. We're going in circles talking about whether he's closer to Superman than he is Thanos.

Zatanna doesn't need to speak for her spells to work.
