His injuries in the Thor run.

I see, thanks, need to read that.

He stops at the Phantom Stranger due to not being able to kill him.

How does this honestly bother anyone ? Odin's isn't normally portrayed as having power over time and according to this writer he can't. It's like someone saying Superman can't breathe in space and everyone acting like all those times he did didn't count. Writing will always be inconsistent. It's "time" to accept that.

I'm sure Odin can find a way to take him out of the fight some other way. In either case I don't think PS can beat him either. Give him a decent fight maybe.

It did work before, but now it needs to be reuploaded. Apparently imgshack stuff ban randomly comic book scans. Very randomly.

Oh. Thx 🙂

Is the scan in the OP supposed to have something to do with anything in this thread?

Stops at 5.

I guess it's just to say or imply Odin can't/won't use time manipulation in this fight or that he can't do it at all based off of Fraction.

odin enchanted mjolnir with time manipulation powers

The OP is a bit of a misnomer. The scan can be interpreted as an admission of his inability to manipulate time (which is refuted by on panel feats), or it can be interpreted as Odin warning his people of an imminent and impending doom about to befall them that he simply can't avert and wishes they had more time for them to prepare for, like someone saying "Time isn't on our side" when a disaster like a nuclear meltdown is underway and they are scrambling to prevent a complete failure, or the phrase 'time is of the essence".

I lean toward the latter rather than the former.

We all know Odin/the OF can manipulate time. Even if Fraction meant the line in the literal sense, there's more than one instance proving it wrong. Unless we take it as "current" Odin somehow not being able to manipulate time in the literal sense.

I'm saying his time manipulation wouldn't allow him to get farther in this gauntlet anyway.

Agreed like Barry's discussion with Wally after the whole issue with murder and time travel to stop it from happening so he doesn't have to go to jail.

As for the match itself. Either Nabu, or Mordu can halt Odin.

That's why its not good to use classic feats... characters change so much that its ridiculous.
