to recap--

so we've established you seem unable to debate without belittling and insulting.

we've established you put less credence in feats than in your own opinion of a character.

and we've established you don't even NEED feats or can extrapolate hugely based on very limited feats.

we've also established that it IS pointless to debate with you. i give you feats like IW withstanding g's blasts, and you..... give me lowball IW feats??? 😂 yet i'm copping out. way to stick to your guns 'shark'.

i wonder how weak you think g would have to be for odin to beat him. as regards your ss conclusions--you have zero proof anything has changed in his powerset. no increased output, nothing more impressive now than before. 2 feats off the top of my head that were more impressive than the t and a feats are overpowering mephisto one-on-one in hell--something even g himself couldn't do, and taking shots from mu AT HALF STRENGTH--mu who was a peer or according to him (which should be good enough for you) more powerful than g and then ss actually DEFEATED him. there are other feats that are comparable as well. those feats alone are at least as good as the t and a feats. if not, they are damn close. close for any logical person to wonder whether it was just a change of attitude that g unleashed in norrin. if a corresponding power amp went with it, it certainly doesn't seem like it would have been much, especially without ANY evidence of increased power output. ss's also taken shots from stranger.

as far as your feats issue--logic and 'opinion' only carries so far. when you discuss such levels of power, it is only logical to assume characters are peers. it's not like odin has only a 'couple' feats. he has dozens. you like to highlight his low feats, yet a group of heroes nearly KILLED g. Alpha flight COULD have killed him after his power was expended in another universe. g's power runs out VERY quickly. we've seen odin fight for LONG periods of time. and he needs sleep??? 😑

g needs to eat planets or dies. and he needs to feed FREQUENTLY. odinsleep only happens VERY rarely (rage prolly knows how often exactly, but i forget). so....... great point. 😐

and something i find funny--g NEVER broke quasar's shields during their battle. quasar's shields>thanos's apparently. cool.

well done shark. i'm guess i was just devoured again. 😂

We have already established even after you know my reasoning you repeatedly ask for me to restate myself.

I put some credence in feats just not to the extent you do which is apparently too much. Portrayal is where it's at and always will be.

I need portrayal, common sense, and a few feats I guess you always side with the character with more appearances since they are bound to have more feats.

Someone else withstanding G's blasts is a great feat for that or those characters and you've already agreed that a well fed Galactus is more powerful than Odin so you agree with me despite your posturing.

The Brb manhandling and the T and A proves it to me since half dead he survived manipulating the crunch which Galactus himself called, inconceivable.

G did so in his own realm and quite easily. He showed he can absorb his entire realm so Meph backed down. Incredible feat. Yet you falsely portray Galactus to be unable to affect Meph down there when in fact he was going to absorb his entire realm if the fight had continued.

You can pretend he hasn't had an upgrade if you want to but I have already given my reasoning as to why I believe this to be true.

Galactus has defeated scores of opponents while extremely weakened as well whereas odin has less power and is even less impressive when he needs to sleep as opposed to Galactus. So it all makes sense Galactus is more powerful than Odin while well fed and when they are both weakened thus keeping the playing field even. You seem obsessed with comparing a full strength Odin to a weakened Galactus.

It doesn't matter how often we've already established at full power you agree Galactus is more powerful.

Did quasar face a well nourished Galactus like Thanos did ?

You agree with me and continued to argue anyways. You kinda pwned yourself.

I did no such thing.

Thor used Mjolnir as a melee weapon. Thanos was the coward who resorted to imprisoning his foe instead of fighting him like a real man.

So what?

Thanos is nothing but a coward, and a loser. Masterson Thor kicked his ass even when he had the Infinity Gauntlet.

Lol. What a limp wrist ******.

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e139/RageOfTheGod/Thor/ThanosvsThor9.jpg

How does Thanos getting a kick out of being knocked around prove that he was unfazed?

Stop lying. We saw Drax's limp body being dragged up two pages later.

So what? At that point unless it's stated otherwise, Drax is accessing the Power Gem when enraged or worked up. Which he was:
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e139/RageOfTheGod/Thor/InfinityWatchvsThor1fight1.jpg

Point to me where it was stated Thor was accessing the Power Gem in his fight with Thanos.

So what if his stupid? He accesses the Power Gem subconsciously when worked up.

Irrelevant.

Well then I missed a post. I have no idea, look through the thread. It was about the Celestials mostly.

Most of the argument you conceded just a little ways to go.

Thanos fought him straight up even knowing he can't physically ko him when using the power gem. Thanos uses his intelligence whereas thor fights like an idiot. I mean the savage hulk has outsmarted thor into giving up his hammer before because he's a moron in battle at times.

Masterson Thor knocked him back but Thanos killed him too. LOL. This is just proof masteron thor does better against Thanos than the real Thor but they both lose in the end. LOL.

Thanos rocked doom the next page iirc. LOL he won while depowered. He even gave these fools a chance and still crushed them.

He was toying with Thor the entire fight and was never in any real danger. A bloody nose is all he could do despite his attacks. Thor is weak when compared to Thanos even with the power gem.

Drax wasn't ko'd and I have already explained myself this scan shows a fight to which the writer made the point clear when accessing the power gem Thor can't best him. Point blank.

He used it prior to and was gaining strength each second if you feel he quit accessing it against Thanos despite that prove it. I guess he only used it prior to Thanos and after. LOL at how unreasonable you are.

Because being stupid really changes the amp you ca get from the power gem. Are you really confused here ?

It's perfectly relevant that despite Thor's awesome amp Thanos has tech that can oneshot him. Thor is nothing to Thanos.

You are making it up and if so you got lucky I missed it unlike you who see posts and purposely backs away like Thor does to his own father like the coward he is.

Yeah, Thanos is a real pussy.

If he didn't have the Infinity Gauntlet, Masterson would have killed him.

Speculation. Thanos has beaten the real thor minus any amps yet Thor had the power gem. I guess you feel masterson is more powerful than the real deal.

You don't have a leg to stand on like usual and can contnue to post these ridiculous claims I will crush them each and every time.

I agree, Thanos can’t knock out someone wielding the Power Gem. His no Thor.

Thanos was the coward who resorted to imprisoning his foe instead of fighting him like a real man.

Thanos was getting his ass kicked by a weaker incarnation of Thor. Lol.

Now we know what would happen if Thanos ever fought a Thor was giving it his all.

Oh poor Thanos, he wasn’t omnipotent, he just wielded infinite power. And he still got his ass kicked.

One. Shot.

Show me where it stated Thor was using the Power Gem against Thanos or concede to being a liar you liar.

You must not tell lies. Thor never fought anyone again because Thanos like a coward used the force block.

Post a scan then.

Because Thanos is a coward who resorted to using a weapon. Lol.

Haha, what a coward. Didn’t even respond because he was scared.

hmm, you don't read well. before i even debated anything with you (years ago on this site, actually) i acknowledged that a well fed g>odin so what YOU have to say on the issue was and remains irrelevant to me. the point of the debate has ALWAYS been that they are relatively CLOSE in power. close enough that odin would crush these heralds who merely possess a fraction of g's power.

in the past, pre-upgrade, odin effortlessly one-shotted ss. even pre-'upgrade' ss was the strongest of all the heralds by a significant margin. that said, we can assume odin would easily ko all the heralds in this battle since they never got upgrades. that would leave ss alone.

now, based on literally next to nothing (again, current ss's feats are no more impressive than anything ss has accomplished in the past, and if they are they are only marginally so) you conclude that ss can go from not only NOT being one-shotted as his past self was, but to actually being able to pose a THREAT--ALONE--to odin. that extrapolation is ridiculous in the face of the 'evidence' you cite. even thanos couldn't hurt odin in their battle and he had ss and other uber powerful heroes. all others were fodder aside from thanos. so you feel that current ss could do something thanos couldn't apparently. all based on the single t and a feat and the crunch feat. no proof of increased power output at all. nice job. 👆

i love how you say he 'manhandled' brb. way to force an outcome to suit your needs. wonder what would have happened had ss not hit him in the back? btw, preupgrade ss would never have done that, imo. shows his attitude changed, if not his power. and g was forced to absorb hell because after TRYING to overpower meph, he had no choice.

g has beaten 'scores' of people while weakened? really? like who, pray-tell? he's had his ass handed to him many times while weak. so tell me who he has defeated in a weakened state. can't wait ot hear this.....

and you seem obsessed with NOT stating a level for g and just assuming any g could beat odin. i'm using a standard, average g as my basis of comparison--the version we see most of the time, with feats nothing close to odin. and a character taking blasts from g isn't really all that great, that's the point.

you claim to put stock in feats, but downplay them and lowball the characters who achieve them constantly. you don't use feats but your own beliefs and interpretations to justify your beliefs and refuse to acknowledge that you may be wrong. to achieve feats comparable to odin's high feats, g would have to be VERY powerful. how do we know--because he's never shown those levels of power on panel. to conclude otherwise is ignorant and deserving of a ban because you're not debating, you're being argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. following that, it would mean you would think a group of heralds could overwhelm and beat a POWERFUL galactus. that's pretty well thought out......

your stance in the thread is ridiculous at best, malicious at worst. you've been shown what past ss has done. you know what odin has done. you know what g has done and NOT done by comparison and yet still remain unwavering in your conclusions as you do. hey shark, how bout taking a big bite out of a piece of logic sometime! 😄

the irony.....

Odin still stomps the heralds and thanos at the same time. Just ignore Quan.

You misunderstood me, I'm not arguing that Galactus was satiating himself with other power sources while being held captive.

I'm aware of that scene as well. My argument isn't that Galactus was restored after he leeched on the canisters, my argument is that he leeched on them to aid him in unleashing the "Herald My Rage" attack. Here's the scene I'm referring to:
http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/2237/galactus1.jpg
http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/2527/galactus2.jpg

Granted, I misremembered Annihilus statement. I thought it was more conclusive.

I sorta/kinda see what you were getting at. However, I don't think that scene is anywhere near conclusive enough to start claiming that Galactus was empowering the 'HMR' blast with additional canister-energy. /shrug

Regardless though, I do think that Galactus is more powerful than Odin. However, I also think that gap is fairly minimal.

I don't understand why he wouldn't use it to aid himself. At the very least, he used it to sate himself to a point after because I know he wouldn't just let it go to waste. But I don't think that is the case because IIRC, he was very desperate for energy after the event. One of the reasons he resorted to two heralds. It was in the heralds tie in I think.

That's cool. I'm fine with that.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely see how it can be looked at both ways. It's just hard to imagine Galactus not being extremely weak (even IF he was absorbing the canister-energy), when most of the time he was being held in captivity, he was drawing on the energies of his very being to survive. Also consider that in Godhunter, missing out on a single meal weakened Galactus considerably -- missing out on 2 meals nearly starved him to death (something Surfer said would have taken MONTHS to accomplish had G not been so weakened from the events of Annihilation.)

i agree with you. it is pretty flimsy evidence that he was amping himself. the reason it appears logical to me though (in spite of the flimsiness) is because we've seen g near death multiple times and not be powerful enough to fight off a group of heroes, let alone destroy solar systems and fire galaxy-wide blasts. that scene (while cool as hell and its about time g did something like that!) is pretty ...... 'at odds' with what we've seen from a very depleted g in the past.

so what can we conclude? that he wasn't as close to starving as he was in the past seems logical. but given how he was forced to miss meals for so long that seems hard to believe so he MUST have been augmenting somehow, no? the degree must have been at least fairly substantial. why? because again, we've seen a very weak g fail to beat a group of earth heroes.

at the least, it begs the question--how weak was he REALLY? was this just PIS? i wouldn't say that but clearly he still had quite a bit of power at his disposal. so... where did it come from? dontgetit

That's also a good point. Galactus when weakened in the past has dropped down to like low Trans level.

Question: Does anyone remember the issue where Galactus was transported to another dimension with the Avengers and he couldn't wield the Power Cosmic properly? Was he weakened in that issue as well?

Here's my take on it:
Galactus was severely weakened and depleted, and as a result he used the canisters to give him a boost in energy to aid him in creating the blast. His power levels then swiftly dropped down.

On the other hand, he could have instead used the canisters to satiate himself after the blast. One of the two had to have happened because I refuse to believe Galactus simply let the energy go to waste.

How much energy did a single canister hold? I can't double check. Someone told me a single canister contained the energy Galactus would get from one feeding but I find that very hard to believe.

Yea, it seems drawing on his personal reservoirs really did a number on Galan.

Sure it wasn't against Alpha Flight? In Alpha v1 #100 Galactus fought Alpha Flight in the circumstances you mentioned above and he was yes, 1. Hungry, 2. Unable to use the power cosmic to it's full potential, given a other set of laws within that Universe.

I'm pretty sure Hercules was present but maybe it was Alpha Flight.

Hercules was present, doesn't change however that it was Alpha Flight that Galactus fought against.

it was an AF arc and they were transported to some other universe by.... the tetrarch?? can't recall. mungi would know. think it was like issue 100 or something. i could look it up but..... too lazy. 🙂

anyway, i think his powers went wonky a bit then AF beat him down while he was on his reserves. can't recall all the details off hand. getting friggin old. 😂

Iight, thanks guys. I assumed it was the Avengers because of Hercules. Alpha Flight are just so forgettable.

The problem is that the 'HMR' blast is the single greatest display of raw power we've ever seen Galactus unleash -- hungry OR well fed. That's one of the many reasons why it's so hard to gauge what level he was at during that scene.

My take: we know G was drawing on the energies of his very being just to stay alive during Annihilation -- I don't think he's ever had to do so for such a prolonged period of time. This means he could have well been at the weakest we've ever seen him. That much energy expenditure affected G to such an extent that not even feeding as frequently as he was in Godhunter (ie. literally as fast as he could) was properly sating him -- like I said before, missing out on 2 meals nearly killed him.

So unless the canisters housed so much energy that they were able to rebuild G's 'core' and return him to his normal powerlevels (unlikely), then he still MUST have been in a weakened state, even with their added power. Maybe not AS weak, but still significantly below his 'standard' levels.

...IF you are of the opinion that he even absorbed canister-powa, that is. 🙂
