You mean the creation of the Atum? She sat mediating until her yearning brought out the Demuirge that impregnated her with the force of good. That was a showing of her compassion and not wisdom.
You mean the gods sacrificed to the Celestials? That was a plan created by the mothers of the pantheons. Odin contributed by creating 3 gods from that group on behalf of Frigga in #203.

That's my mistake. Silver Surfer was supposed to be a levle below Apocalypse. As I understand it, Norrin is a few centuries old, but not as old as 5000 years.

It is a showing of wisdom. She found a way to thwart the rest of the elder gods and have a failsfae mechanism to protect the earth without going into direct conflict with them by doing what she excells at: bringing life forth.
Wasn't Gaea among them?

Gaea was worried about the life on Earth so she sat down and began meditating as to how she could protect it. The Demuirge than impregnated her. As far as I can tell, it never showed that she had any involvement in the shaping of what Atum would become. Like I said, it was a showing that illustrated her compassion and not her wisdom.
She wasn't as I recall. In her explanation of the planning, I don't recall her mentioning herself. Even if she was, passing it off as a feat for Gaea is incorrect.

IIRC she summons the demiurge to impregnate her with the intent to create a champion to defend life on earth knowing how powerfull he would be. I read that a very long time ago so I might be wrong though.
IIRC, she's the one that comes up with that plan and it is her initiative to gather the other goddesses to find an alternative solution to the celestial host in the first place.

The wording as I recall was that she meditated as how to save the life on Earth and in her yearning summoned the Demuirge who impregnated her with the force that would become Atum.
It never said she came up with the plan or gathered the goddesses.
Originally posted by 753It has to be less than 100 years before he become the Silver Surfer.
Apocalypse is 2 thousand years old, but who knows how SS is?
The Zenn-La that the surfer interacted with was just an Illusion created by Galactus when Surfer goes back in time 50 years ago he sees that world was destroyed and Surfer could not bear the pain of this happening so he asks Galactus to erase his memory of the event.
So that would leave Surfer to be around 50-100 years old
I didn't mean just possessing any type of experience leads someone to be wise. You can make transport Blob back a trillion years in time and make him immortal but I doubt he'd be wiser than Odin.
It's the choices, hardships, and sacrifices you make that lead to wisdom. That's one of the reason why Odin while knowing of the Reigning let it happen. It was all of his plan to put Thor through the choices and sacrifices that would led him to the wisdom needed to defeat the gods who fed off of Ragnarok.
Age doesn't necessarily mean wisdom. A 60 year old man can be wiser than 60 million year old man.

Unfortunately, everything I've seen from the InBetweener doesn't point to him being wise. The opposite as a matter of fact.
Difference between intelliegence and wisdom.
