Good. You know he's not at full power, so stop using what happens to him there as evidence for anything.

For the record, when I say "depowered" I just mean that his power is greatly reduced by a plot point. I don't mean 100% powerless. Sorry if that was not clear.

I said Michael had the power to defeat all his opposition with a gesture. This includes Lucifer.

Sandy said he had the power to defeat all of them with a gesture. Lucifer wasn't among them. he wasn't even in the same realm. How obvious is this?

Damaging them did depower Michael

Making things up again. Show me in the comic where specifically damaging Michael's wings reduced his power.

Of course he's fine in a universe where he is supreme. Lucifer's powers are dependent on his supreme being existing in his own universe. Lucifer also was in the void and unleashed his brother's power and created his own universe.

Think about that and realize that outside of creation, beings don't suffer from their distance from the Presence. It's only when the Presence leaves that things fall apart. That's why YHWH-made people can live in the void for years with no ill effects.

Most of his arc was him depowered. Quite frankly what did he do that was so impressive under the duress of combat anyways ?

Michael still with power to defeat them with a mere gesture was still vulnerable to Sandolphon's attack. Michael was shown to capable of creating universes. His power level is on another level than Lucifer's entirely. Lucifer doesn't have his power. Lucifer has a sharper mind but power not anywhere close.

It's stated in the comic that this depowered him. I mean do I have to post another scan which you will blindly ignore ?

Not every character is as dependent on the Presence as Lucifer is. Thanos went into another universe and was still able to override their own universal laws due to his powers. Thanos seems a lot more powerful than Lucifer and has combat feats to prove it.

Sure.

[QUOTE]Not every character is as dependent on the Presence as Lucifer is.

Yes they are. YHWH's creation was going to erase itself from existence, including every single person or being. This is explicit in the text. Everything outside of it, however, was safe regardless of its origin, like the people in the void.

I meant everyone in comics. Lucifer and his universe is dependent whereas Thanos and marvel's isn't.

Sigh. Let me plug in my hard drive because you want to make things difficult.

Just to play devil's advocate, how do you know? Has TOAA ever left?

Thanos left his own universe. Thanos was still just as powerful despite the entire universe being opposed to death and everything he stood for.

Lucifer is weaker outside as proven in his comic. I don't have to disprove your negative. You need to prove it. You can't just throw what ifs without proof and act like it's a real point.

Wow, that's the first time you've ever shown evidence for something. Good effort.

Sadly it isn't very definitive. The simpler explanation that the damage to Michael's wings are an indication that he was weakening from the fight, not the specific cause of weakness.

How many times have you seen a comic villain point out a hero's injuries mid-battle? Fenris-Lucifer is just bragging that he's winning, not exposing an angel's secret weakness.

That's why I don't care to get scans because you will choose to pretend it has a different meaning. You can continue to believe the sky isn't blue for all I care. But this will be the last time I do dig up a scan for you since you want to pretend the words mean something else entirely.

If you believe based on Lucifer than an angel is at maximum capacity with his wings broken then you didn't comprehend Carey's work.

Michael also clearly didn't want to kill Lucifer while Lucifer was controlled by Fenris who outprepped him.

This doesn't address my question since, as I pointed out, YHWH's creations can leave his multiverse whenever they want with no ill effects. Lesser immortals lived in the void for eons. Leaving your Presence doesn't do harm--your Presence leaving you behind does harm. Never happened to Thanos, did it?

Lucifer is weaker outside as proven in his comic.

No. He is only weakened in YHWH's crumbling creation. Not in the forum or in the void, or any alternate multiverse. That's the only thing proven in the comic.

It's not pretend. You think it means something very specific, despite evidence to the contrary. I think it's just a general taunt like we see in comics all the time, with nothing to sway me besides your theory.

I believe that broken wings are a sign that an angel is hurt, just like a broken arm would be a sign that cyclops is hurt. But Cyclops doesn't store the bulk of his power in his arm and there's no indication anywhere in Lucifer than angels even need their wings to do anything but travel.

But hey, you want to hitch your wagon to one taunting comment, good luck with that in the battlezone.

The point is moot. Just because Odin leaves Thor behind doesn't mean he becomes less powerful. Odin gives Thor his power. Thor actually becomes more powerful. Just because Mike carey chooses to write this in as an explanation doesn't mean all writers adhere to the same storytelling or logic.

Lucifer is weaker when he leaves his universe. He is reliant on the supreme being of reality or else he loses power as time goes on. That's proven.

Wings are essential to angels and lead to their general power wouldn't you say that's a safe assessment ? I guess this comment was just trashtalk and we can ignore it because you like Lucifer a lot. I won't. Continue to think the sky is red.

So if my arm is broken then I am somehow at full power ? You can't possibly be serious. Wow. When it occurs you will be in for it. Anyone who thinks they are at full power with a broken limb probably was home schooled.

From 1-5 , Thanos can possibly survive .
6 onwards , he gets chumped .

Based on ?

Thanos stops at 6 and Tyrant finishes off what is left of him if he manages to best Odin.

Yeahhhhh he's not besting Odin... the whole rejected by death stuff is bull. He will just be embraced by Oblivion if not Death.

Based on the fact that everyone from 6 onward is way beyond his league .

And btw , 6 onwards he still gets chumped .

Saying someone is beyond him isn't the same as proving it or at least supporting it with reasoning.

You need to read up on Thanos. My claims are supported on panel.

All the on-panel evidence indicates that everyone 6 onwards is way out of his league . Everyone agrees . Everyone except you .
Oh, and btw , 6 onwards Thanos gets chumped .
