As stated , nobody that is not devine themselves can withstand gazing at the mighty Cthulhu. I wonder what Thor would say or do? Thor VS Cthulhu, sounds f*cking awesome to me. Also don't forget that Cthulhu is just a mere devine priest of the Great Old Ones, Yog-Sothoth would rape even 'ol octopus-face.I laughed when somebody said "Batman", what an example of somebody going insane with fan-boyism. Supes would even piss his pants and go bananas.

The only guys that Chulhu ever made insane were never shown to be the sort of strong willed people that Batman is. Also IIRC the main character of Call of Cthulhu maintained his sanity long enough to ram tht titular character with his ship. He didn't start gibbering the moment he saw Cthulhu, and from all indications he wasn't a strong man either in the mental/spiritual sense. More of a timid scholar. The fact that he resisted insanity long enough to ram Cthulhu's head with the bow of a ship means that Cthulhu's "insanity ray" isn't a one hit insta-kill thing.
The protagonist was scarred mentally,emotionally, spirtually for life and admitts that he is on his was to becoming insane even remembering it. I never said that Batman would instantaneously become insane, but sooner or later the weight of seening Cthulhu would destroy any human's mind. I think people forget that Batman is human way too much.

Is it Cthulu himself, or his magic that drives you insane?? Because if it's magic, Colossus in his metal form could possibly resist him, since magic seems to not work so well against him.

Actually, he's done fine against a bit of high magic. He resisted Baba Yaga, pulled Xavier out of a magical portal(he was the only one able to do it). Ripped open the gates of hell(Magic resistance/strength), etc...
And yeah, DP wins. He'll see Cthulu...and get hundgry for calamari.
Cthulhu has been made into a mutliversal power and made more and more powerful the more he appears in literature, games, etc. and since there is no copyright on his usage anymore all of it is considered canon. Cthulhu is a child compared to Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth, but still a multiversal presence.

You surely don't know enough about Batman 😐
He can shut down his mind to resist even telepaths as might as an amped Grodd, his will an mastery of his mind is great enough to even hide his thoughs from telepaths, so they can't even detect that there are some. He has split his personality to prevent his mind being messed with. He messes with his freaking mind on his own. I mean who can do this to himself and stay sane?
You have no clue.
As for Cthulhu being made into an Multiversal entity. I don't care what they do with him. The only valid "visions" i accept are from the Insane Lovecraft himself. I haven't read all his books though but as said thus I read i never had the impression that they are Multiversal.

Not sure I agree with that interpretation. I don't consider anything Lovecraft didn't write to be canon for his mythos unless he himself gave it his blessing and it doesn't contradict anything. Obviously it can't all be considered canon in much the same way that any of the stuff that happened to the public access characters in the LOEG can be considered canon to them. As it stands Cthulhu is at most an Elder-God level being, he's certainly not Universal. The Outer Gods are Universal and Cthulhu isn't even a child to them, he's more like a flea. The power scale for Lovecraft went as such:
puny humans<random monsters and servants of Great Old Ones or Outer Gods<Great Race of Yith, Shoggoths,Mi-Go(?)<Elder Gods=<Great Old Ones<Lesser Outer Gods<Yogg-Sothoth=<Azathoth

I see the "Lovecraft" Universe like the Lord of the Rings. There is only the original Stuff and the rest is "fanfiction" at best.
Such People got Visions powerful enough to drive them insane (I remember the "fact/mythos" that Lovecraft believed what he wrote).
