Originally posted by OneDumbG0OK, though there's nothing to back that up. He still appeared as Superman Prime until next we saw him, and still won the fight. I can see it as villain braggadocio, or as a mounted loss of power, as easily as you see it as that, and those are both still more clearly portrayed on panel in the end. But that's your opinion, so I'll respect it.
[B]Considering Guardian Superman Prime wasn't noticeably any weaker when he first engaged Monarch and the statements made, I'm going to go with Monarch beating the Guardian amp out of him.
C'mon. Plot device. How many times has Captain Atom or Firestorm or other nuclear reactor-like comic characters been done in by containment suit rupture? It was cheap.I thought it was a cop-out myself.
And getting KTFO isn't a win in my book.???
Kept running away from Bart Allen. And Bart Allen was actually less effective the more speedsters there were. Total ninja effect. One Guardian physically overpowered him and transported him atom by atom. The Guardian who stated that Superman Prime had encountered a power that eclipsed his own. And based on what that Guardian did, I'm inclined to agree despite how many times Ganthet jobs himself out.The Bart Allen bit is a mental thing. As for the Guardian? That's how you saw that? lmao. He shot through a GL with heat vision and accidentally ****ed up a guardian. A Guardian had to SACRIFICE HIMSELF while he was getting overwhelmed by Prime, nowhere overpowering him at all, trying to wipe him from the universe and only sent him to a different universe, powered up. A guardian even touching the Antimonitor was dissolved on the spot - likely because of antimatter. But Prime flew through him, then tossed him. There's a gap even the Guardians and Prime, and Guardians aren't on the upper end of that totem pole.
I agree that Ion Sodam Yat is several notches below Superman Prime... when he is holding back, is inexperienced with his powers and has just suffered serious lead poisoning that even the entire Ion power can't reverse.Sure. Just understand that he was about as 'in that fight' as Booster Gold might have been. The gap between them was so huge that Prime was toying with him.
It was a footstep.Oh was it?
Everybody called it a footstep.
Oh did they?
