Thanos w/IG vs. Protege'

Started by Astanax5 pages

Real quick, real quick...if the Protege and LT "battle" is canon, but contradicts other canon; shouldn't all the canon that is accepted by the majority supercede one lousy account of what happened in this particular comic? Anyone?

I gave myself a headache.

What canon does it contradict?

I read a comment in this thread that the canon contradicted other canon. I don't know whether they meant that LT is second only to OAA but at the same time Protege was supposed to be more powerful than LT or in the same instance Protege is supposed to be more powerful than LT, but at the same time can be defeated by a Celestial who is supposed to be less powerful than LT. I'm not sure, I just need some clarification myself.

Protege isn't more powerful than the LT. He became more powerful than him after copying his, Eternity, Hawkgod, Beyonders etc. power.

Scathan really is a conundrum. Most people who've read the story believe there's more to Scathan than meets the eye. A few believe (myself included) that he was also an agent of the OAA.

So the OAA has many o' agent. Comics are pretty much a puzzle with facts pointed out in certain instances but, in a sense, refuted in other instances. I'm not sure if the writers come to a concensus about these things or if they just do their own thing. I'm just going by their bios in this one but thanks for clarifying it for me.

if u can copy someones power then it means your (potentially) more powerfull than that someone so yeah, Protege is > LT (at least the LT at that time)

can Protege copy TOAAs power?

Well, it isn't written anywhere that the OAA can't have more than one agent within the MU at a time.

Protege wins this.

Protege was the next step in evolution,
when Humanity becomes God,
and every individual will become an Eternity unto themselves.

Only thing is he was engineered,
unlike the destiny of mankind which is a natural process,
this is why he was a cosmic abomination,
with the potential to become God, probably on the status of THOTI imo.

No, or yes. (either way, TOAA will always be in control)

Because whatever Protege does, he does because TOAA wrote/drew it.

then what about protege vs classic beyonder? 😄

Now you done did it.

Protege would get stomped.

Protege proved to be below the supreme being as a being below the supreme being (Scathan)
neutralized him.

Beyonder was a supreme being,
who without self-imposed stipulations was all powerful.

Protege copied all of the LT's abilities hence the LT supplementing his power with the Ancient One's amulet. Protege was stopped just short of usurping the LT's position.

Protege wins this.

If he copied all of his powers lets say then how exactly was he going to beat him? I would venture to say that the LT is much better equipped to use the power then a kid who just got them that instant.

Beyonder was also below the writer...

It makes sense that if you copy someone's powers, without additional powers, then the copyee would have the experience advantage. I just don't like the fact that comics don't stay consistent. It's true that OAA might have other agents but it would have to be clear for the readers and not just assumed.

Obviously. However, I'm sure some Beyonder fanboy will argue that. *sighs*

How about we simply categorize the Protege' incident for the ridiculous SMVFL that it is....

I second that

Because he didn't just have the LT's power. He also had Eternity's, Hawkgod's, Beyonder's, Mephisto's etc.
