TOAA vs Pre-recton Beyonder

Beyonder got his powers stolen from Doom =\ I can't see TOAA's powers ever being stolen from Doom, doesnt TOAA represent the entire marvel company?

Yeah, pretty much.

Actually Ut,
it was Tom DeFalco (Editor-in chief after Shooter) that planned Beyonder's retcon,
and it was only DeFalco that had the editorial power to do it.

Writer's can't retcon anything without chief Editorial confirmation.

So The real TOAA isn't the writer it's the editor it's contradict everything we know from on panel. Also I haven't found anything that leads me to suspect that is was Tom DeFalco being the Editor that handled the retcon, since Steve Englehart have said that even before that point of time he would have retconned Beyonder not so massively as he was retconned, but still retcon him, however the editor at that point of time (never gave a name also doesn't they have like 12 editors???) Wanted Beyonder to be retconned far more severely.

First,
that wasn't normal Doom, that Doom was created by Beyonder,
taken from a point in the Timestream that didn't exist.

Second,
Beyonder curbstomped,
Galactus' World Ship empowered non-existent Futuristic Doom.
Then ... Beyonder let his guard down, as he was studying Doom,
then Doom made his move, (that could only work at an arm's distance)
Doom used Galactus' tech built into his chestplate to absorb much of B's power.

Third,
Beyonder retaind his power, and that never happened again.

Also, in the retcon,
we actually learn that Beyonder allowed Doom to acquire his power,
because of an "un-conscious desire to satisfy other's needs"

Which is exactly why he started the entire Secret Wars 1 saga to begin with:

To satisfy the desires of the winner.

Thanos even literally admits to this fact: (even "god" was unable)

"Reversing the damage became impossible ...

impossible for even he for whom nothing is supposed to be impossible"

What this tells us is that Toaa/god can do anything withIN the Marvel Reality (comics)
even create a rock they can't lift.

(so I'd say yea, I can see Doom stealing Toaa's power, if Toaa wishes it)

Toaa/god depicted in FF#511,
is like what Morrison made himself in the Animal Man series,
the perfect depiction of what a Comic Book "god" ... "Supreme Being" should be,
that is ... the avatar/s of the artistS/writerS themselves illustrated withIN a story.

Not on some goof tip, like in the Impossible Man and Mxy cases,
but again like in FF#511 and Morrison's appearance in Animal Man,
these should be ...
the quintessential representations of what "god/Supreme being" is, in comics.

Oh, yes, IMO!

Stan Lee = TOAA

Stan Lee to a pencil dude:
"Draw me the little piece of shit!"
The pencil dude draw it and gives the picture to Stan Lee.
Stan Lee eats it.

10/10 to Stan The Man.

I've maintained across any debate, that Toaa/god is/are the WriterS/ArtistS of Marvel.
So On Panel depictions still stand as 100% accurate and canon.

The Editor in Chief, is the top position in Marvel, concerning publication.

In Marvel (as in all book co) nothing get's published,
without the Edtior in Chief approving, simple as that.

Beyonder was retconned in 1988 ... makes sense.

Steve Englehart began writing for the FF in #304,
and ended his FF writing days 21 issues later in #325,
that's it,
Steve never wrote for the FF again.

Steve just happened to be the designated author in that run of 21 issues,
DeFalco wanted Beyonder retconned withIN that FF issue (319)
and so it fell on Steve's hands to make an interesting story.

That's the way ALL comics are created,
either the Writer himself creates a story out of his/her imagination,
or it's pitched to him/her as a base for an idea,
either way, in the end,
the Writer is the one that produces the dialogue though.

Brother, when will your hierarchy be back up?

Oh and just for notes, the writer isn't a fictional being. The-One-Above-All is.
The avatar of the writer is a fictional being though.

Did someone actually think the writer was a fictonal being? 😂
So many strange things we see.

I got that from your saying that only a editor have the power to retcon a character not the writer then obviously the Editor is above the Writer, and does he read all material?

Perhaps the fact that Tom DeFalco was the Editor in Chief (1987-1994)

Beyonder was retconned in 1988 ... makes sense.[/B]

I will ask again how many editors did they have??? from what I know about 12 so to say that among those you can specificly point out Tom DeFalco seems a bit odd imho.

Yes makes perfect sense.

Steve Englehart was only the FF Author/writer at the time,
that's why he ended up writing for the issue Beyonder was retconned in,
it just happened to be an FF issue.[/B]

Yes and he was still the Writer (TOAA according to you) in that given Comic, and again he stated that he wanted to tie the Beyonder to the Beyonders the editor at that time (again he never gave a name) wanted Beyonder removed from Marvel Cosmology however Steve decided in what way Beyonder should be removed.

Steve Englehart began writing for the FF in #304,

So he wrote 21 issues and???

Steve just happened to be the designated author in that run of 21 issues,
DeFalco wanted Beyonder retconned withIN that FF issue (319)
and so it fell on Steve's hands to make an interesting story.[/B]

A story he had already planned ahead of DeFalco according to himself.

That's the way ALL comics are created,

or it's pitched to him/her as a base for an idea,
either way, in the end,

So all Comics are created by The Editor giving a order to the Writer and then it's up to the writer to decide how the story shall progress???.

That doesn't matter though,
cause Toaa/god is still a representative of the writers/artists solely,
after all, they are the one's that come up with the stories, and draw them.

Editors ... may take some stuff out, but the general story is the Writer's.

Editor in chief is the head hancho,
he/she approves/disaproves of what's published.

Of course.

And I'm sure in any company that deals with publications of the sorts.
I mean, that's why the "In Chief" term is added at the end of "Editor."

I see, I think you're confusing "editors" with "Editor-in Chief."

The "name" he never gives from your Wikipedia source,
names that "name" in that same Wikipedia page,
under Beyonder's Power & Abilities:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyonder

"After his creator, Jim Shooter left Marvel,
writer-editor Tom DeFalco, displeased with Shooter's tenure at Marvel,
re-tooled the Beyonder and altered his origin."

............................................................................................................

Steve was told what to do, and he obeyed.
Yea, Steve came up with the story, based on DeFalco's idea.

Ok good friend, let's move forward.

Again, Steve's career as a Fantastic Four writer began in issue #304,
and ENDED in issue #325 ... Beyonder was retconned in FF #319.

Had Byrne or Starlin, or Marz,
or whatever other "writer" been the official author of the FF at the time,
it'd been one of them writing the retcon.

Here it is again, I highlighted what you must've overlooked:

I still never said the Editor is the new or the old or the ever was, Toaa.
But yes, the Editor in Chief, is definitely above any writer or artist.

That doesn't matter though,
cause Toaa/god is still a representative of the writers/artists solely,
after all, they are the one's that come up with the stories, and draw them.

Editors ... may take some stuff out, but the general story is the Writer's.

Then I really doesn't see why we call the writer TOAA since obviously it's not up to them to decide what shall be printed and as you said in your previous post sometimes the Editor just dictates what should happen and then it's up to the writer to decide that.

Concerning character's Retcons?

Of course. [/B]

So everytime a Character has been retconned it's the Editor decision, if I created a character and printed for a large company I couldn't decide myself if I wanted the Character turned into something els???

Actually, there's always only been ONE Edtior-in Chief at a time in Marvel.

And I'm sure in any company that deals with publications of the sorts.
I mean, that's why the "In Chief" term is added at the end of "Editor."

I see, I think you're confusing "editors" with "Editor-in Chief."[/B]

But that editor in chief is the only one that has the power to retcon a character neither of the other editors do???

You're getting your info from Wikipedia I see.

The "name" he never gives from your Wikipedia source,
names that "name" in that same Wikipedia page,
under Beyonder's Power & Abilities:

Yes lets as soon as I find that damm interview with Steve Engelhart 😠 and I must admit I didn't even knew there was such a article on Wiki.

And that's the ONLY reason he was given the task of writing Beyonder's retcon,
cause Beyonder's retcon fell upon a Fantastic Four issue, particularly #319,
ONE of the 21 issues that Steve worked on for Fantastic Four,
happened to be #319.

Again, Steve's career as a Fantastic Four writer began in issue #304,
and ENDED in issue #325 ... Beyonder was retconned in FF #319.

Had Byrne or Starlin, or Marz,
or whatever other "writer" been the official author of the FF at the time,
it'd been one of them writing the retcon.[/B]

So you are agreeing that the writer TOAA at that point of time retconned Beyonder???

How on earth did you come to that conclusion from my post?

Here it is again, I highlighted what you must've overlooked:

Notice what's in bold. [/B]

I'm overdramatisesing it a bit, the red line is as follows: Jim Shooter was both a writer and a Editor in Chief, Agreed? Jim Shooter integrated Beyonder into virtually everysingle comic posted at that time, agreed? So in this particular case the Editor is the one telling all the writers how to fabricate there comics, there own imputs so to speak is removed. This isn't fictionel more Master it has turned into something very realistic 😂

Found the interview

http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=6024

I misread the first time it wasn't even Tom DeFalco who authorized the retcon, it was another editor namely Ralph Macchio.

and the other one
