And I would never seriously suggest She-Hulk could beat Mandrakk.

But using A-B-C logic you know SOMEONE will eventually bring that up.

Lessee here...I just pulled out my copy of 'Superman Beyond 3D' #2 which I had bought based on my arguments with people over the 'greatness' of this tie-in, just to see if I was missing something.

From a fashion perspective, there is absolutely no doubt the cosmic armor defeats the IG. It is really spiffy, while the IG ABSOLUTELY SCREAMS "uh, the 1970's called! They want their color scheme back!"

Functionality? Here is where the CA gets the big 👇

CA Supes meets Mandrakk on page 25 of issue 2.

Page #25 - Mandrakk blasts Superman with, uh, 'Evil-Vision'. Superman fires back with heat-vision. Mandrakk then tries to electrocute Supes.

Page #26 - More Evil-Vision and lightening from Mandrakk.

Page #27 - Lotsa chitty-chat

Page #28 - Supes gets pissed and delivers a bag-shot (dirty cheater!)

Page #28 - More chitty-chat

Page #29 - Supes grabs a piece of rebar and stakes that damn dirty vampire. One final blast of heat-vision sends Mandrakk into the abyss, 'until even the idea of him is lost'...'until the Overvoid, the mind of the Monitor, engulfs him...already forgetting' (that is until Mandrakk reappears 4 pages later drylaugh)

Based on the above epic/titillating battle of CA Supes I would choose to wield the IG any day of the week.

I suppose the power Mandrakk was using should be considered as well. IF we didn't know who Galactus was, and we just saw him fighting Tyrant, after we saw Tyrant Fight Thanos, we could assume that Galactus was around Thanos level. Based simply on their less than epic fight. You see how that works. You have to know the background

Tyrant was depowered when he fought Thanos....and Thanos was cheating. Galactus also owned Thanos during annihlation

Maddrakk doesn't eat the comic, he eats the stories. He represents the evil, darkness in all of DCU. He is the concept of evil

I know.
What I was saying was that there is no such thing as "stories" in marvel. atleast not like DC. In marvel to eat a stroy it would mean that the character jumps out of the comic and literally eats the comic.

No. You are missing the concept of Mandrakk all together and taking it too literally. OMG.

no..
I know that Mandrakk couldn't beat supes because of hes story being greater.
In marvel it would be literal I meant.
Because there never was mentioned anything like that in marvel

Yes, there is. There is good, there is evil, there are heroes, villains, and death. That is stories.

We assume a shared universe where all things function as normal. So yes he'd be able to eat Marvel's stories.

What I mean is that stories were never said to exist in marvel. I know they exist but not the same as DC. IDK how I can explain what I mean to you.

Except they do exist in Marvel.

When was "Thor has a greater story than Galactus, so he must surely be able to defeat him" mentioned in marvel?

P.S. On comicvine people think that Thanos can defeat Mandrakk under hes own power.

Superman never admitted that he was in a story for comics, or anything like that. He just admitted that his life, or everyone else's was a story, just as yours, mine, and everyone else's. WE have our own stories.

Story isn't what really beat Mandrakk, it has contributed to his defeat, but there was a lot of Pis involved.

Those people that claim Thanos Mandrakk are idiots.
A monitor would rape stomp Thanos

I don't mean to sound mean but i don't know how to explain it in english without sounding like an ass. So forgive me if you feel offended, I don't mean it as hars as it may sound.

That said. I had the impression that FC was aimed at the older audience, people who used to read the Silver Age stories of Superman and Co., people who are now more mature and aren't as easily impressed by simple "universe" destroying like the CotIE.
So they didn't show such goofy things and instead gave them an battle of concepts/words/stories. It wasn't important how the fight looked for the normal eye but what it meant and how it felt for the experienced reader. That's why younger people or mature people who aren't "into" DC find it pretty boring.

Stories like IG are suited more for the younger generation, like DBZ, a lot of power, even more powerlevels, impressive showings with pretty pictures. Grownups can enjoy such stories too, don't get me wrong, I also like to watch Tom and Jerry. But still, though entertaining, it won't be more.

Anyway. I hope you understand what i mean. I still lack to many words to express myself more clearly.

CA wins, anytime.

Who gives a **** what Comic Vine thinks?
If anything that's just proof that we still haven't gotten rid of all the lead paint in our houses.
