Lmao, like we really can compare two different character's, with DIFFERENT powersets. 🙄

Nah really. That doesn't SPECIFICALLY state that Ds was weakened by age. His power could of wanned by anything, him lossing it by age, is just plain RIDICULOUS! Seeing how he's....immortal.

Good then we won't be hearing that DS's current incarnation defeated his future self from the GDS in combat anymore...
I suppose.

I don't care if it's the same character or not, it's his FUTURE self which means that DS's current incarnation doesn't have the feats to his credit. I understand why it seems like it SHOULD be considered valid because of the complex nature of the New Gods, that's why I asked Digi whether or not the GDS would qualify as being an alternate version under forum rules. And you know what, it does. That means that the feats are inadmissible to DS's current incarnation.
Here's the problem, Digi's ruling is more of an opinion than a actual rule. Just because it came from a mod's mouth, doesn't make it fact. Secondly, Digi's well, retired if I'm not mistaken. Thirdly, the character is STILL the same person, and he was supposed to be weaker than his 20th centurary self. So how can you not give him credit, for those feats? We know the Gds existed, it's no illusion just a different timeline. People effected by the alterization of time, will not remeber the experiance. When the outcome of time is changed, it merely reshapes what already exist. Here's the challenge, find some context that says his powerset was somehow different, then you maybe on to something.

BTW, when I looked through the GDS again to find that scan of him stating that his powers waned over time I noticed something interesting. When DS took control of Daxam, the planet was orbiting a red sun. That means that he NEVER took control over 3 billion Pre Crisis Superman level beings in that arc, he took control over 3 billion HUMAN level beings because none of them had ANY powers until DS transported the planet so that it would orbit a yellow sun(which is what bumped them up to Pre Crisis Supes level).
Hmmm, maybe your right. Thing is, HE HELD CONTROL OF THEM. Say what you want, but very few can replicate that feat.
