This is a good theory, but it's still only a theory. Nothing on the page explicitly contradicts the assumption that he simply endured the mulitiverse-level blast.In fact, the words "controlled detonation" were only used once, by Michael. The expression refers to a method to limit the damage done by an explosive, including by simply isolating it from anything that could get hurt. Since Michael was killed in the void outside creation, it was literally a controlled detonation. That does not imply that the blast was lessened, nor that Lucifer protected himself by using the energy.
In fact, there is some evidence to suggest otherwise. The only other time something like that happens is when Elaine Belloc repeats the feat at Yggdrasil. Elaine has to draw the power into herself, even explicitly use it to protect herself. (Lucifer: "The power is pouring into you. And you're too small. It needs to well up from inside you. Then you'd have some chance of surviving it."😉 SHe manages to just barely do it, and thus the explosion is prevented.
Compare that to when Lucifer did it. There was a massive, immediate explosion right in his face. He did not appear to take any power into himself, he simply set it loose. The difference is clear.
But like I said, whether he has multiverse-level durability or multiverse-level energy manipulation, the feat still puts him way, way, way out of Thanos' league.
Elaine unlike Michael learned on the fly through Lucifer's help since he knows exactly how to do so. It isn't a durability deat it's a manipulation of the power being unleashed which is designed to create sort of thing. Like I said. My memory is sharp.
You apparently rereading it multiple times means I understood it on one fell swoop.
The feat isn't indicative of what he's capable of taking or what it takes to hurt him in battle. It's horrendous debating to assume every character who posed a threat had superior power than the blast except the blast was controlled by him through one sided prep.
Lucifer knew exactly what was going to happen and when. he didn't just react instinctively he planned on doing so.
She eventually manipulates the energy despite it almost overwhelming her.
I will now show you the same exact thing done by Thanos and watch you clearly distance yourself from the same logic exposing your hypocrisy and further demonstrating your ineptitude in debating in said manner.
Now for one thing Thanos doesn't have the luxury of having intimate knowledge of Michael as in Lucifer's case the power to create rests with his own brother. Thanos has to theorize and use his best judgment since he wasn't created by the supreme being with infinite will and doesn't have the luxury of being Michael's brother. Thanos still masters said supreme power. This doesn't mean he can't be hurt by less. The same can be said of Lucifer. If you actually understand what he did, the prep he had, and the knowledge of Michael who just happened to be his own brother then it's no surprise that he accomplished this.
That doesn't excuse anyone who thinks he can tank anything other than multiversal level power like a fanboy.
In the near future I am so confident about this I would actually see you in a battlezone donning the Thanos suit one final time against Lucifer. Straight up. When I have an opinion it isn't just to shock the masses it's because I believe it and am more than willing to prove it.
