No Jobbing Apocalypse isn't a real character with debatable powers or feats anymore than is Infinite Rage Hulk or FP Galactus.

As far as I'm concerned the only time Apoc has ever jobbed was when he dodged the table. All the other times it's just him not being as powerful as his fanboys would like to believe he is.

He doesn't really have that many bad showings tbh, it's just he also doesn't have the good showings that would justify people trying to place him at HH or above.

by his powerset, he is quite godly

able to manipulate his atomic structure, can grow to Godzilla size, etc

Neither of which are that impressive. Fun fact: a recent Deathstroke comic implied that Slade also has control of his molecular structure.

Nothing about his implied power set puts him on the same level as guys like Surfer, Thor, or Superman let alone above them.

how is molecular manipulation not impressive? you'd have to be crazy to think that

also implied is very different from demonstrated (read: worthless)

Because it's just a fancy way of saying shape-shifting since he can only change himself, and not even as well as a guy like Metamorpho who's High Meta. Molecular manipulation refers to transmutative abilities on objects that aren't part of your body.

You were the one who brought up Apoc's "power set" as if it was worth anything. I'm saying based on feats there's nothing to suggest Apoc is HH or higher. Hell even his implied powers wouldn't make him High Herald.

apocalypse cant manipulate matter, he can only control his own structure. 616 Mags would pawn him just like his alternate selfs have done.

agreed^ and people need to stop hyping his celestail tech, because with every incarnation it seems to downgrade its abilities

and you're dismissing his ability to grow 100x...change his arms into various weapons....heal physical wounds instantly. 😬

None of which are abilities above the scope of a high or mid meta.

Giant Man has greater growing feats. Wolverine has better HF feats.

that's not really a judgment call you can make

many powers in and of themselves aren't above the scope of a high or mid meta

but viewed holistically, they do present a powerful platform that I believe gives Apoc legitimacy to claim high herald status

Yes it is. Looking at Apoc's powerset he has nothing that would impress anyone like Superman, Thor, or Surfer. Looking at his actual feats (or lack thereof) he's even less impressive.

Lol.

apocs powerset is more impressive than that of wonder woman

and none of those three would scoff at her.

also, he's like giganta with self molecular control. that is quite a threat to even superman.

No it isn't. Wonder Woman has superior strength, speed, high level MA skill, bracers that can tank HH+ level attacks with ease, and a lasso that can effect Skyfathers.

A shape shifting Giganta would just leave a more interestingly shaped crater when Superman lays her out. Same for Apoc.

Poccy is a low herald. His role in the x-man mythos is supposed to be of a vague and terible menace that requires enormous collective effort and heroic sacrifices to stave off after a long epic battle, but in truth he just painly sucks. Death Gambit threatened to kill him and he stood down

apoc's strength is up there...he has fought the hulk before (who is far stronger than Wondy)

plus he has energy projection as well and can also increase the density of his body

also, he's actually better than giganta as there are no known limits to his size growth...so he could grow larger than giganta

Context. He proved that his arms were stronger than a base level Hulk's (who couldn't rage amp) neck muscles. Wonder Woman would have done the same damn thing to Hulk given that scenario.

There are no known limits? No limits fallacy much? What's the largest he's grown on panel?

you can't prove that wondy could do the same to hulk

also, neck muscles are some of the most powerful muscles on the body....I could prob curl more with my neck than my arm.

Im not saying he can grow infinite...but he could grow far bigger than giganta and make superman look not like a mouse but like a ant

he doesn't job in fights as he has a pretty decent win-lose record. his jobbing shows itself in his schemes and plans. as you probably know he's never been successful in that regard against heroes. heck, he prepped for the twelve for years and he still couldn't achieve his goal even though he had them mutants all locked up. he has the brains, he has the powers, he has the tech, he just doesn't have the character.

and that's why my good sir, apocalypse the eternal mutant is a bum!

actually, apoc doesn't even job...its just a function of being a villain that you inevitably fail

darkseid fails, joker fails, Dr.Doom fails, lex luthor fails.
