Earth or at least part of it survived the explosion and that was ground zero. Plus a flower, lulzPrime floating around unconscious in time doesn't prove he tanked the entire blast. Simply that the theory I had of him being transported through time/space rather than dead was on track and that he was knocked out. My stance depends entirely on how Atom's time trips were at the time. If they were like I remembered them (Big flash then boom his gone) I'm off the opinion Prime/Monarch left that time moments after the suit was cracked.
He said and I quote, "That really [b]really
hurt."That's your argument? That he claims being hurt a lot? Doesn't seem beneficial in my opinion but okay.
I find highly unlikely that Prime went from being really hurt by a brief exposure to Monarch's energies, then tanking the breach of his entire suit while weaker all in the same issue only with a knock out. Inconsistency between writers is one thing, but that's a whole other mess. [/B]
Sorry that took so long, I re-read everything.
Well it's mentioned several times before this, but the ones prior to this example were ambiguous, but in Final Crisis #1 pg 27, one of the Moniters, when referring to the Orrery (the multiverse) states that "New Earth is secure. The Bleed Drains are intact. The multiversal orrery has survived repair after loss of moving part: Universe 51." Imo thats the clearest example, but there are other references. The plant part was pretty ridiculous though lol. I think that they were going for a reference to hope or something but it didn't really flow with the story imo lol.
As far as Monarch and Prime teleporting away, there was no indication that it happened like that. If it did, they would have been in relatively the same place. Also, they weren't touching. In the page, Superboy-prime jumped off of Monarchs chest with two pieces of armor in his hand, and if I had to speculate, the blast probably blew him even farther away. Either way, if CA had carried him in his port, they would have both been in the same area.
Nah, that's not my argument, I was just saying that he wimps out a lot and then tanks attacks that don't correspond to the level of pain he seems to be expressing. He didn't seem to be damaged by the attack though. As I said before though, it could have just been a low showing, every character has some.
I could see how you would believe that, but like I said, regardless of what he said, his cape was barely even tattered and he had no signs of injury. Also, just because the blast looked similar to a nuclear explosion, does not necessarily indicate that its intensity was the same. I'm guessing it was probably stronger considering the fact that Monarch's power is quantum as opposed to classically "comic book atomic". Even Odin doesn't have to bust a galaxy with every attack for it to be intense.
