Darkseid vs. Adam Warlock

In comics? You think DC would let a character with a portion of the ALE and a repower up lose to a character like Adam?

I think I said I didn't know who the son of the source was. Quite a few times. I think he understood me saying that.

Then why did your first post on the subject imply that Infinity Man, who is ripping the Gods' souls from their bodies, is the son of the Source?

If it's not Infinity Man, then at least we know who's doing the dirty work. It could be Infinity Man, but it's more likely that IM is the hitman for someone bigger.

Um no. Someone asked who the son of the source was. And I stated that I didnt' have the info. All I could find was that it was the son of the source and no further info was available.

Haha, you really don't get it.

Someone said that Infinity Man was ripping the souls out of people. That is plainly obvious, and Starlin has admitted as much.

Then you said the souls were being ripped out by the son of the source.

See where I'm taking this?

Possible. But unlikely. I'd be disappointed with Starlin if he botches this.

Starlin has already botched it. He botched it when he did Cosmic Odyssey. He botched it in issue 2 when he again mentioned the Anti Life Entity. He botched it AGAIN when he turned Orion into a mad dog in issue 2. He's botched it in every interview discussing the New Gods.

He doesn't get them. He STILL doesn't get them.

Morrison should've gotten the assignment. I think he said in an interview something about plans to do something with them in a year or so, disregarding DOTNG. Not sure how realistic his plans are. Maybe he can take over and make something out of the "Fifth World."

Now that I would love. 😍 Morrison DOES get them and he's one of the few writers to really give them respect. He didn't do a great Orion, but I think he's got a better idea on how to write him.

You said that Surfer = Galactus, Nvr?

If you take that in context, we could repeal that Darkseid got his ass whipped by Sups some times. What a shame.

Warlock would handle teh big blue ass like a woman in a Ron Jeremy's movie.

Uh, he is doing something with them.

Its called Final Crisis.

Starlin has specifically said that Grant Morrison has plans for them, and this mini is a lead up to that.

But "them" is relative, as I suspect it will be some reincarnated version of them.

Dammit I just hope Darkseid comes back with a few others. I hope they bring in the fifth world and have a new villain.

Let us just say that Desaad got a BIG powerup recently. 🙂

Thanos and his forces are goin' down like tumblin' blocks, bay-bay!

He's not gonna keep that one. But he's probably going to pull some very impressive feats.

They are intellectual peers. And Starlin Thanos wasn't that much smarter than Darkseid.

No, he won't.

But if he has done it once, he could very well do it again. And in a situation where both Thanos and Darkseid have prep to build up their forces, its not inconceivable that such a thing could happen.

I still find it hard to believe that you think Darkseid could out think Thanos in an all out war? But iwth regards to countdown I definitely will have to catch up becuz from what I hear Darkseid is really manipulating the shit outta lots of characters.

I do.

Don't worry. If we end up doing this, try to go through my collection and pick my favorite plans. I've already taken the liberty of scanning up a couple of good tricksy schemes he's concocted. Most of the rest I suspect I'll describe, since it would take too long to spell them all out.

But yes, Darkseid is manipulating virtually every thread of Countdown. Its subtle, its clever, its impossible to know to what end he is doing all this but it is big and it is sinister.

In conclusion...it's Darkseid. 🙂

He wasn't smarter at all.

He succeeded more, sure, but in terms of genuine intelligence of his schemes, he doesn't have what Darkseid has.

And Darkseid's forces and technology are greater, to boot.
