Did I not read a story where Manbeast obtained the Infinity Gauntlet? I was under the impression he only harnessed the Power, Mind, Time and Space Gems. I also believed he even said that any deleterious effects from personal use of the Infinity Gems through the flesh would be bypassed through instrumentation. Which in my mind, suggested that he feared that he himself wasn't up to snuff. Is there another story that is escaping my mind?
Originally posted by darthgooberHe wasn't stated to be better suited, Warlock just said that he was adapting to the power more quickly than he or Thanos did. A greater proficiency is kinda implied, but it's never outright stated. And the whole thing is kinda suspect because Warlock was running a scam on Magus the whole time and knew his mind was being read so it's not as if he was going to think "boy it's a good thing that Magus doesn't know what's really going on right now".
Originally posted by Galan007t had to determain whether or not he had the power to wrest the gauntlet from warlock:
This statement would be inconsequential if it didn't pertain to the LT likewise.
Also, in the following IG arc, (infinity War)
LT had complete power over the IG,
remember, LT made the IG in-affective, (Infinity War)
and proved with a phrase, that the IG depends on the LT to even function.
On top of this,
the LT's bio confirmed that the LT's power surpassed that of the IG,
and they even use that same incident between Warlock & the LT as their proof.
Which tells me IMO,
that the LT was determining if he had the power (as in the right)
since he acts solely on protocol,
which is the same reason why he didn't attack Rune:
The LT's 3 faces must agree before he acts.
A good question would be,
how can the LT not have the right, if he is the ultimate cosmic judge?
The IG makes one basically the Supreme being (beneath the LT of course)
but nonetheless a Supreme being, and by cosmic law,
the LT can't interfere with the pecking order of power scales if it does not upset the balance,
this exactly why,
the LT did not interfere with Thanos:
Unlike Thanos,
Warlock's state of mind did not qualify him to take over that position.
Originally posted by Galan007there was really no need for such a long reply.
i simply quoted exactly what was on that page,
in response to Nihilist's original question. nothing more. nothing less.
Anyway, I was only giving Nihilist another perspective in response to your post,
there's no fallacy in your post, but it's a straight cut deal,
and I feel like there's more to that scene, that's what my reply was about.
We should absorb all possibilities good friend,
I needed to show the proof behind my reasons,
I never said you were wrong or i was right,
in fact, I added, imo. 🙂
Originally posted by ultimatethorIMO it would be a draw
as all of them should technically have the same powers( control over evrything).
Only Nebula had a slight limitation,
but that's because she was living rotting corpse just prior to acquiring the IG,
she still was able to curbstomp the hierarchy though,
but wasn't able to sense Warlock's existence,
because Warlock is outside the influence of Eternity/Infinity/Chaos & Order,
therefore only an adept wielder of the IG
such as Thanos/Warlock/Magus would be able to.
Originally posted by ultimatethorP.S Its a little off topic
but was there ever a time that LT was considered below the IG
and the phoenix force on KMC?
But once in 2005
someone tried to fallaciously present a scan where the LT is bowing to the Stranger,
it was a vision of the Stranger after usurping Mankind's destiny,
that destiny being, becoming "Gods" (Eternity's unto themselves)
where the abstracts were nothing to them,
well,
a certain someone
tried to pass that off
as the LT bowing down to the Phoenix power with deceptively cropped scans.
This deliberate fallacy lasted for a while until Lord S exposed the fabrication.
So in truth, Phoenix (the Phoenix Force) whatever, is a firefly to the LT.
