I never got that notice. This isn't some hard and fast rule, characters can travel up and down their own time stream.I don't understand why you think there must be a contradiction. The Silver Surfer was plucked from in the past and died. He was then healed and transported back to the moment that he was displaced. To the rest of the Universe, it must have been like it never happened.
There isn't some elaborate tale. What you see is what you get most of the time in such stories. Surfer was displaced and was transported back. I doubt second thought was given to the situation.
The current Surfer is more powerful than the original incarnation, that was never in contention but there's no denying that Rulk drained dry the classic Silver Surfer or a character just as powerful. It's one or the other so in the end this distinction your trying to champion is pointless.
I don't hate the Surfer but I do think he gets a lot of love even when he doesn't deserve it. Unfortunately it's the opposite for the Hulk.
I realize they can. But characters from the past universe cannot travel to the future and end up in the same universe. This is mind boggling that you even think this can happen.
Because that would mean that Surfer came from the 616 universe in the first place, went forward however long in Marvel time into the future, and winded up in the same universe... where there would have been another 616 Surfer surfing around pooping in stars. Which would mean there are two 616 universes in Marvel. Two 616 Surfer's at different levels, and different points in time... which is exactly why different universe numbers are there, so you don't get two of the same universes.
It makes no sense. In fact, I can't even properly explain how much sense it doesn't make because I'm dumbfounded that someone actually thinks this can happen. Just to try and give more explanation... the past, the future, and the present are all different universes. No matter what happens.
Loeb wrote it. Of course second thought wasn't given, or even thought in the first place.
Just as powerful as Surfer who just got heralded? So... pointless in this thread either way then (which was my main point... that it was pointless to bring up)
Either way, it's not even the same Surfer, so the assumption that he was just as powerful has more say than assuming he wasn't as powerful? I didn't want to get into the "Exact same power level" so that's why I just said different universe. I mean, almost every other universe alternate has a varried power level but Surfer's stays the same apparently... but that's a tale for another time.
Hate Surfer, slightly dislike Hulk because of Thor. I know Rage.
