Question about Darkseid's power?

Started by celestialdemon3 pages

What Kirby intended Darkseid to be and what he actually is means nothing. Thanos was originally meant to be a copy of Darkseid but people will argue that isn't the case.

That's because...

Darkseid > Thanos

😖hifty:

I thought Thanos was originally meant to be a copy of Metron but then he was changed to get more Darkseid - like attributes

DL was pretty big in 52, (MUCH larger than everyone else), but he was hardly so big that Planets were like marbles in comparison:

Which, of course, means nothing either way because this took place in the normal, mortal universe and thus Devilance would have used a Boom Tube to get there, which would have adjusted his size, which would be in keeping with that continuity.

Did I also mention DL was decapitated by Lobo?

Damn that was stupid.

Perhaps, but not as stupid as you might have others believe.

Lobo didn't actually decapitate Devilance. Devilance set off a trap that was meant to kill Lobo (who himself is basically unkillable, so that should tell us something) and was killed in the process.

Lobo simply used the parts.

I understand that.

You might take note that I didn't respond to your post with those scans. 🙂

Again, I understand that.

Did I ever say otherwise? ❌

I simply expressed my opinion regarding that particular story. 🙂

You said that that bit had been retconned, and seemed to be saying that the Devilance appearance was in support of that. Later, someone even used that to say how continuity isn't respected, or something like that.

Ultimately, that showing has no bearing on that piece of continuity and, quite frankly, I don't think you'll find any showings that DO.

When did the Teen Titans travel to Apokolips sans Boom Tube, for instance?

Again, I understand that.

Either you didn't understand that, or you purposely misled people into believing that Lobo is the one who defeated Devilance and hence "decapitated him".

It was the blast that decapitated him, indeed that blasted him to bits, and that had nothing to do with Lobo himself.

I simply expressed my opinion regarding that particular story. 🙂

At the end, sure. Other parts of your post were presenting facts, and were not 100% accurate, so I gave my take on them.

Did you even read the post I responded to?

If not you really should, because I didn't mention a retcon.

I only remarked that DL was large during 52, but not that large. 🙂

The ending of that comic was stupid IMO because of how Lobo was riding off with DL's head.

That's all I commented on. 😉
