What the heck are you talking about? At absolutely no point in time did I say: "our solar system was spawned immediately after the Big Bang." That is simply you projecting your nonsense toward me.

What I did mention is that after Sise trounced Shuma he made this comment to Strange/Mordo: "Follow me now, for the final time--and we shall seek my journey's end." Then, on the very next page, we see that Sise has begun his 'universal transformation', with absolutely NO mention (by anyone) that he absorbed any further magical power. You're assuming that just because he changed his form it means he must have absorbed additional magical power by proxy--a faulty line of logic, especially given the following statement that Sise made after finding Shuma (which you have seemed to have ignored.)

-Sise-
"I know not its name [Shuma], but I sense it to be an other dimensional entity--the FINAL possessor of mystical energy I must have":

Per Sise, Shuma was the final mystical being in existence. So it's no surprise that immediately after he beat the slug, he teleported away and began destroying the universe.

Really? Here's what you said:

Also, there were no mentioned gaps in time between Sise trouncing Shuma, and destroying/recreating the universe. In fact, Sise teleported to the void immediately after he beat Shuma.

For this to be true you would have to believe our solar system was created and finished almost immediately after the Big Bang. Sise-Neg didn't just "teleport away". He made a jump in time billions of years into the past. You're projecting your own ignorance or maybe you just don't know how to make a coherent argument.

I actually addressed Sise-Neg's statements within one of my first batch of posts, you just decided to ignore my response apparently.

And it's assumed he absorbed more because he changed his form again, as he did each time he absorbed a great amount of power, and the author even made it a point to have it mentioned. You think Sise-Neg just changed his form again for the heck of it?

😕

What point does this prove? Yeah, Shuma-Gorath was the final mystical being he needed, but time and space were still intact and you'll notice that he had to make sure all of that was gone before he was able to create a Big Bang. Sise-Neg wouldn't be able to become the Supreme Being or "God" if he didn't control all of time and space - which he clearly didn't even after absorbing Shuma-Gorath's energy. He needed to reduce everything to the void first. You seem to believe that the Void is merely a location rather than a state of condition.

Anyway, your whole thing originally was that it's ridiculous to think Sise-Neg would have trouble in a head on battle with Shuma-Gorath because he went on to create a Big Bang - which is a moot point because he wasn't at full power when first confronting Shuma. I don't even think you know what you're arguing anymore.

Yet even more irony from you. Let's try to keep the insults out of this. They make you look childish.

Anyhow, Sise is a time/dimension traveler and can control time/space on a universal scale. That's why there were no relative time gaps. He beat Shuma (aka. "the FINAL possessor of mystical energy."😉 Then immediately teleported away and began destroying the universe. Get it? If Shuma was the "FINAL" mystical being out there, then it's blatantly clear that Sise didn't absorb any further magical energy, because there was none left to absorb.

Question: if I have 1 cookie left in the jar, and I eat it, how many cookies are left in the jar? Answer: none. It's literally that simple.

It's assumed by you, but I could care less about that. Sise obviously didn't absorb any further magics, as Shuma was the FINAL mystical being (per Sise's own accord.) That being said, changing forms can be attributed solely to him finally utilizing the full extent of his powers. Remember, he was conserving his energies beforehand (see his battle with Shuma) because he needed them in order to achieve his final goals. Once Shuma (the FINAL mystical being in existence) was out of the picture, Sise no longer had to conserve his energies, because his absorption-spree was finished.

You're ignoring what was shown entirely now, and are instead projecting your own dillusions.

Sise beat "the FINAL possessor of mystical energy" (Shuma.) Immediately after doing so, he teleported away and began destroying the universe. So going by what was stated AND shown in the comic (without projecting personal opinion), Sise's power was, for all intents and purposes, 'complete' after his trouncing of Shuma.

Why? Because nothing was shown or stated that pertained to him absorbing additional magics after his battle with "the FINAL possessor of mystical energy"--and immediately after he beat the former, he began mucking up the universe.

I can see both sides of the argument, but this was the clencher for me. Sis-Neg flat out said Shuma contained the last bit of magical power. He absorbed that energy (or at least some of it) and after that had nothing left to absorb, so he was free to annihilate the universe. If there was still more to be absorbed after facing Shuma, the writer would have surely stated so. He had no problems mentioning such before hand.

It's not meant to be an insult it's simply meant to say keep your argument more concise so you don't jump around all over the place and make what you're arguing hard to follow. i.e. First saying that Sise-Neg was at full power "by the time" he fought Shuma, indicating you meant he was at FP before that and then later saying "between confronting Shuma and recreating the universe". Those are clearly different things.

Anyhow, Sise is a time/dimension traveler and can control time/space on a universal scale.

Just because you have the ability to jump through time doesn't mean you can control all of time and space at a whim. If he could control all time/space in the universe just through time travel technique then he wouldn't need to absorb mystical power to achieve his goal of recreating it in his image.

That's why there were no relative time gaps.

Well why didn't you say that from the beginning then? The relative part would have been important to include in the beginning in order for others not to conclude that you meant Sise-Neg didn't travel any further back from the time on Earth to the point when he made the Big Bang.

If Shuma was the "FINAL" mystical being out there, then it's blatantly clear that Sise didn't absorb any further magical energy, because there was none left to absorb.

Yes, thanks for finally being clear.

It's assumed by you, but I could care less about that. Sise obviously didn't absorb any further magics, as Shuma was the FINAL mystical being (per Sise's own accord.)

Okay, I can now see eye to eye with you on this point. So I agree that Sise-Neg didn't absorb anything more after absorbing from Shuma. But now that that's out of the way...

Let's not forget where the original dispute was. We both agreed that by the time Sise-Neg is able to create anew the Marvel Universe he would easily be able to stomp Shuma-Gorath. Yet you originally said that Sise-Neg was at full power when he saw Shuma-Gorath. That's the main point I've been trying to address this whole time. You said:

I worded it that way because it is pure idiocy to assume the (minimal by comparison) power Sise absorbed from Shuma would have made any sort of difference in whether or not he was able to destroy and recreate the universe.

You're saying here that Sise-Neg would have been able to recreate Marvel without Shuma's energy In the very scan you provided with Sise-Neg recognizing Shuma, he states ""I know not its name, but I sense it to be an other dimensional entity--the FINAL possessor of mystical energy I must have."

That shows without any room for argument that Sise-Neg needed Shuma-Gorath's power in order to recreate the universe. You don't think a God's power added to someone else makes a difference in the magical capability of the person absorbing said power?

Sise took away the bulk of Shuma's power with a literal blink of his eyes. The difference in power speaks for itself.

Yes, it shows a difference in power. But that does not show that Sise-Neg would have had an easy time with Shuma-Gorath had they fought directly. Shuma has the same energy absorption ability that Sise-Neg possessed and a battle between them would have been a back and forth of drawing power from each other. Yeah, Sise-Neg would have probably won - but it would not have been nearly as easy as you suggest it would have been, based on Sise-Neg's comments that disposing of Shuma would take time and energy. And I'll repeat it again, if Sise-Neg was so certain he could defeat Shuma in a head to head battle at that point he could have just attacked him and absorb him later, and that would be that.

Anyhow, Sise drew away "much" of Shuma's power, placed him in a comatose state, and trapped him in another dimension for millenia...With a blink. The gargantuan difference in power between them is obvious.

I still don't understand how you think this is an indicator of how a battle between them would go. Shuma-Gorath wasn't even fighting or using any of its power to attack or defend. That's like saying you could go up to some random guy and put a bullet in his brain while he's eating and because you defeated him easily with that you'd be able to take him out just as easily if he was actually able to defend himself.

Tbh, I figured that mentioning Sise's ability to time travel (multiple times) was all the clarity that was needed. If he can time travel, then he can obviously traverse the span of eons, instantly. Hence, there would be no gaps in time.

Every post I made that addressed the above was speaking from a relative point of view.

Thank God. 👆

I already addressed this. I worded it that way because (imo) absorbing just a portion of Shuma's power didn't make all difference in whether Sise was able to destroy/recreate existence. Not to mention that Sise didn't seem overly concerned (during the actual confrontation) with absorbing the whole of Shuma's power.

Right, but like I said above, Sise also wasn't too worried about going out of his way to absorb all of Shuma's power. He simply drew away enough power to put the slug to sleep. That's it. If absorbing Shuma's energies in their entirety would have made the difference in whether or not Sise could accomplish his final goals, then surely he would have done everything he could to absorb that power.

Except he didn't absorb all of Shuma's power- just a portion of it.

Sise was literally right in front of Shuma. That being said, Sise taking away enough power from Shuma to render him comatose, then proceeding to trap him in another dimension for millenia... With a blink. Is testament to the power difference that already existed between them. If Shuma would have been close to Sise's level, then surely he would have been able to defend against the drain in some way/shape/form, no?

One thing that I can gather from all this is that Shuma is much more powerful than most people give him credit for.

Sise had soaked up all magical forces from the 31st century back to the prehistoric age of humans. Keep in mind that the only power left needed to destroy and recreate 616 was Shuma's. At the same time on the flip side of that, he avoided a direct confrontation with the creature because he shares the same abilities.

Now I know it's still Sise>>Shuma but I'm sitting here wondering how much more power would Shuma need to replicate that same feat? mhmm

See I'm kind of the opposite. Taking Shuma's entire history into account, I don't think he's as powerful as people give him credit for.

it's a bit of both IMO. In a straight fight I'll give him a heads up against even the highest tiers for the most part but he tends to be a bit stupid for all his power and this lets others get a 1-up over him.

Have you seen his ACTUAL on panel fights? Humiliating 😆

Well, I'd personally place Shuma-Gorath at the level of the combined Vishanti under normal circumstances.
