infinity man = infinity man. there are not different versions of him.
if you have proof to the contrary, please post it. 🙂

You mean besides the fact that DS used to match or exceed IM? And in DOTNG he was going to be killed by him. IM was more powerful than Takion who had HF's staff as well as his own powers. If IM never changed, That would mean DS never did either. And DS was shown to match or exceed him in previous encounters.

darkseid used to match and exceed almost any character(s) in DC - but that was
decades ago. things have significantly changed since then.
for instance: in their most recent *direct* encounter (superman confidential) IM easily blocked the omega beams as though it were nothing. he was clearly shown to be superior.
furthermore, there were absolutely no references to IM having been 'amped' during DotNG. thus assuming he was 'amped', simply because you disagree with the characters he so easily owned is... fallacious, to say the least.

There are no references to DS being depowered. The only references are that every time he loses,it's an avatar. So unless it's shown, then your example would fit for DS too. Also, Superman Confidential was years ago. Like when Superman first met DS. Many times after that, IM was easily held, bfr'd, even seperated by DS.

i never said darkseid was depowered - just that he's most certainly been portrayed differently (in a weaker sense) over the years. that much is an unarguable fact to any
logical person.
but does any of the above really matter? nah. if you disagree with a darkseid loss, you'll simply cry "avatar", even if the story itself never once alluded to avatar-usage. lol, this crap nvr ceases to amaze me.
facepalm
superman confidential = a far more recent telling of superman's first encounter with the new gods. thus the showings from said comics should be taken as the more canonical evidence. that again is an unarguable fact to any logical person.
what this ultimately boils down to is the fact that absolutely no power-ups were ever mentioned (or so much as hinted at) where IM is concerned. you can try to argue this fact by bringing up decades-old showings all you want, but the point still remains.

Hm,
I also seemed to remember that an amp was mentioned. I just have an hardcover Book called "The Death of the New Gods". I don't know if more such arcs existed but anyway.
Here are the amp scans, they aren't very good but my scanner is not the best and i can't rip the pages off 😛.

Except we do know there was a power up. The Source was using the IM as his agent. never before has that happened so the circumstances around the IM changed. And I never cried avatar. I think none of the DS showings matter since grant morrison retconned them all out with FC. Just a point of reference, the comics said that if a being with sufficient power came along, they could beat one of his avatars. I didn't say that. the comic did. So why are you arguing against the comics?
