The reason exaggeration might be in play is because of the latter half of Xanadu's statement -- that she is the second most powerful magician of all time.

That reeks of bullshit to me.

I just don't think that feat proves anything in regards to how he stacks up against Nabu.

Not that it matters, but the same thing was stated about pre-Flashpoint Merlin--during Madame Xanadu's series.

Like I said, holding all of time/space in his hands just isn't something I personally seem Nabu being able to do. Ever. You're welcome to disagree, but I feel like Merlin is simply on another level entirely.

She did exceptionally well vs. a fully powered Mordru, though. So she deserves some props for that.

Either way, the "not exaggerated" bit I was referring to was when Merlin held all of time/sapce in his palm--that wasn't exaggerated, he really did it.

Pre flashpoint Merlin isn't dcnu Merlin.

Just because Nabu can't do so doesn't mean he can't beat him. Someone may be able to lift 500 lbs. that doesn't mean they beat up the mma guywho can't bench it in a fight. Think about it that way.

Both versions are in this thread, though. 😉

Real world analogies go out the window when we're talking about purely conceptual feats that shatter the laws of physics.

I don't think they do. The same logic applies. If someone came at Merlin he isn't going to step outside the box and crush space/time to defeat him.

Nice feat and all but doesn't really factor into a combat feat imo.

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it. Like I said: it is simply my opinion that Merlin is >.

Let's argue some more about it. 😛

I have no doubt that Merlin was real, what I am questionng is if he was actually holding time and space as the grail he breaks afterwards wasn't the real grail.

He seemed to have been. Nothing in that scene contradicted it.
