Yahweh(DC) vs. The Living Tribunal

Vertigo and DC are seperate entities. The contents of that Lucifer storyline have no bearing on DC. Try reading the story and you'll understand why.

I don't have to prove that the forces weren't GREATER, because I wasn't the one extrapolating. You need to prove they are.

Yahweh still showed much less flaws than Marvel's God.

Dream and Death appeared in Marvel comics? That piqued my interest, I must know more.

I agree though, Yahweh IS superior to all in the Vertigo/ DC universe. However DC and Vertigo go hand in hand, there is too much in Vertigo (not all of it, mind you) that coincides with the DCU. They are two seperate entities, but if I'm correct isn't Vertigo still owned by DC?

As for the actual topic. Yes ladies and gents, Yahweh triumphs over the Living Tribunal.

DC owns vertigo and the characters share some similiarities, But Yehweh isn't the God of DC. He is still Superior to Everyone in DC tho.

The Presence.

Carlin has been shown to be the God of The Imps so i'm assuming It's an avatar of the presence or the way the imps see him.

grant morrison has also been shown as the presence.

You mean Yahweh from Vertigo then? That story has no bearing on DC. It's pretty evident if you've actually bothered to read it. Plus there's the fact that both of the companies don't even acknowledge eachother anymore.

Then I'll point out how ambiguous the statement is, first off, it is NEVER said that there is force SUPERIOR or ABOVE him, as you've tried to explain away above. Only that he is shaped by other forces. Anything else is just extrapolation. It could be intended or taken any number of ways. However, we know from previous encounters and even that issue, that Yahweh is beyond all and has never shown a limit. He is eternal, and infinite. He is the sum, the result, the creator of all.

On the other hand when we saw Kirby in Fantastic Four, his image was shaped their perception[by external forces?]. And pretty much the whole image/scene displayed nothing but flaws and lack of omnipotence/omniscience, on a level that is not even comparable to Yahweh or Yahweh's 'plan'. And that's not even touching on the gaping holes in 'The End' storyline.

The forces being external to Yahweh, mean they are not part of him. Yes, he is infinite and eternal.

IS he flawless? No...

IS he everything that exists ? No....if there are forces external to himself, which shape him, than that means there are existances which are not part of himself, yet shape who and what he is.

Yahweh in Vertigo is unlike Yahweh in the Bible, the same way Lucifer Morningstar is nothing like the Bible depicts Satan to be. Yahweh in the Bible is unchanging. Yahweh in Vertigo embraced Change.

Yahweh in the Bible gives free will to all his creations, while in Vertigo, all of creation goes according to Yahweh's will, and Lucifer is truly the only wild card out of everything he created.

Yahweh from Vertigo is a unique twist from the conventional depiction of Yahweh. As is Lucifer.

Btw, what did you mean when you said Yahweh has less flaws than Marvel's God ? What exactly are you talking about ?

Oh yeah, and ofcourse Yahweh defeats LT.

Cool scan, now I'm wondering what those forces are.

I need to know!!!! =P

It's obvious that the external forces are the artists and writers of DC, only a dumbass wouldn't be able to comprehend that.
The Presence/GEB are the supreme beings of DC. What can be above supreme? The ****ing writers and artists of course.

It's the same thing when it said "the master manipulator was tricked" in Marvel the End. The higher powers are the artists and writers.

Of course the writers and artists aren't going to write out "AND THAT HIGHER POWER, OR THOSE EXTERNAL FORCES, ARE US." It should be easy for people to comprehend that, but apparently it isn't for most the people on this forum. It seems that it's impossible for the people on this forum to grasp the concept that the writer could actually be implying something, instead of just writing that to show that the character was not supreme.

Fact is, even the supreme characters of comics are nothing when compared to the writer because the writers choose how the stories go; and I think everybody knows this.

Wait, the Presence is above Yahweh? I thought Presence and GEB merged into him...

It's obvious, but extremely cheesy.

Atleast Yahweh only hints at the writers, but Marvel portraying TOAA as the comic book writer himself is extra cheesy with a side of fries. It makes me take the IG, HOTU, and LT less seriously.

No need to remind us that they are just comic book characters.

I'm so glad Spawn and Image don't pull shit like that.

GEB is not equal to the presence. The GEB/Great Dakness + The Ultimate Light/The Voice = Yaweh

i disagree. i think that what was meant is that although in his multiverse yahweh is supreme... there are others EXACTLY like him, which can involve/influence what happens in his multiverse.. ie what happens in marvel/image.. ie the dc/marvel crossovers... There is powers external to his own.. ie.. marvel is completely separate from dc... but has yet influenced how their multiversed changed...

Or he could be talking about the presence of DC being external and shaping him. DC does shape vertigo. The stories and characters and universes are similiar but not the same.

Doesn't anyone remember?

"Was Amy here?" - Yahweh

I don't think God would ask that. Even if he had that knowledge he would just say "Yes. I ate her"

No shit, Sherlock. I was speaking of the external forces WITHIN the story. As this is what is being alluded to.

The external forces are the writers. So that's actually a feat, not a weakness, since he is supreme in his fictional verse and aware that he is fictional.
