Prime was talking as much smack, if not more.Weak attack? As I remember it the city destroying attack was his largest calculated effort.
His universe destroying blast (going all out) was a result of Prime ripping his suit open. Are you saying that was Monarch's strategy? It's still a draw if he was planning that. They'd both die instantly.
With such great lines as:
"I'll kill you to death!", and "Shut up! Shut Up!"...
Plus, he wanted Monarch's suit off, and after he got hit with the blast, he stopped commenting on how he was going to destroy him, and started to call him a coward hiding behind a suit.
Monarch was fighting akin to when he was fighting all of the heroes across the multiverse. Calm, cool, and collected. And I highly doubt he was exerting himself when he fought them.
He said he was only using a taste of his power when he destroyed that city. Which indicates some holding back/toying to me...
Full power sure, but it still shows what he's capable of. If you can destroy a universe by killing yourself, is it right to say it took effort to destroy a city?
Hell, as I recall, he also destroyed a continent a while back with no effort as well.
