Presence still exists before and beyond creation. Creation is still only a part of him. Not all of him... Not the whole... A mere piece.... A fraction... A component. Get the point.

the fact that he existed before creation...

That doesn't mean he doesn't exist all throughout creation now. My theory is based on a dc comic yours has no merit.

i think i read a scan somewhere where synnar said that the Demiurge was the one who created everything..and the Presence is above Demiurge which mean the Presence is above all of creation..

That's abc logic I have a scan describing the presence and where he exists. You can't use a story later on to describe the presence and loosely try to make a connection between the two.

you certainly can... its called a retcon. Kind of like how when Thanos describes a Thanosi doing something, it means he didn't do it himself.

That doesn't change the fact the presence resides in all of creation. Different writers describe the universe forming in different ways I don't see these all as retcons just a writer's tool for that particular story.

.......durpalm Quan was bad enough. You can go to hell too Kandy.

what exactly are you objecting to? right now, i'm saying the exact opposite of him, so if we're both wrong, what would you consider "right"?

I would actually agree with this, but I don't think you consistently use this perspective, you just say that when its convenient to your point.

Then just agree with. There are always exceptions I think it's hard sometimes for us comic fans who try to make everything fit together when comics by their very nature are inconsistent.

The Thanos retcons are specific.

Just because the presence resides in all creation does not make creation all of the presence. Presence existed before creation and its power is still absolute beyond the context of the DC multiverse.

It was explained point blank in paradise lost. Asmodel would have to destroy creation itself which is the same reason Lucy's assault failed. Thanos absorbs creation easily. Thanos stomps.

... absorbing creation still doesn't beat presence... he is beyond creation.

Not according to paradise lost. He is everything in all of dc's creation and cronus actually took the presence's power in heaven directly. Thanos can easily do so. My argument is backed by the comics yours isn't.

Seriously how is this still open?

Presence is god.

You don't beat god.

except that no matter how you look at it Presence still came before creation.

Yo.

so wat if somebody w/HOTU absorbs all of creation? that line of thinking means that The Presence is ONLY wat was made, and not MUCH MORE THAN THAT........which is exactly the case.

to put it bluntly: if U destroy a mans house.......does that mean the man is destroyed?

So what ? He resides in all of creation now so who cares what came before. Thanos wins.

This was cited on panel as how to defeat or attack the presence which Thanos can do.
