the problem i have with the avatars are their 'convenience'. i want to see what the 'real' darkseid is capable of nowadays. retconning those losses to avatars is the same thing marvel did to thanos.
those types of retcons are crap.
and i agree with val -- actually a GREAT comparison val! -- if the bracelets can deflect it, the hammer definitely has a chance to absorb or block it.
and someone said that supes has something=godblast?
uh, no. least not imo. supes has nothing in his arsenal to trump a godblast, i'm afraid. unfettered heat vision is NOT a magical blast capable of driving away galactus . . .

Originally posted by leonidasI never said he did. You must be talking to somebody else. And wasn't G weakened when Thor sent him packing? Or is that a myth?

sorry, snoop -- i certainly wasn't directing my points at you. i agree -- retcons or jobbing -- BOTH suck.
about the avatars: the very idea is sort of ridiculous. by definition, an avatar is a HUMAN representation/incarnation of a god (buddha is one of the avatars of vishnu, for example) ds is definitely NOT human. and if the avatar HAS the oe, why would IT be 'watered down'? it's either the oe, or it isn't. 😬
i know no one has answers to these issues i've been raising, but they're just a couple of points that have always bugged me about darkseid and the way he is/has been, portrayed. if they had LEFT him as he had always been, and made the new gods direct descendents of the FIRST ever gods, i could understand WHY he would be more powerful than all the other pantheonic gods. as is, he is just . . . confusing.
cool, with SCADS of potential still, even after all these years. but confusing nevertheless.
