Lovecraft Battle Royal! DC's Outergods Vs Many-Angled Ones!

Don't have pics for them all, sorry, but fight takes place in a neutral realm.
The Outergods and other HP Lovecraft type monsters on DC side:

Many Sided Ones:
King of Tears

Koth-Shugoth

Syththunu

M'Nagalah

Cthulhu

Daemoniacus

vs

Many Angled Ones:

DC seriously has Cthulhu?

Apparently. Here is the complete list of Outergods from DC's hierarchy.

Cthulhu
M'Nagalah
k'zum'uggarth
Daemoniacus
Kolkothak
Koth-Shugoth
The Undying Ones
Syththunu

From the Subtle Realms:
King of Tears

cthulhu.

...don't recall ever seeing cthulhu in dc-- i'm just going by lovecraft's interpretation.

I like seeing the Lovecraft readers "ooze" out of the woodwork beneath a Gibbous Moon once in a while on this forum.

It seems like DC is way ahead of the curve when it comes to Lovecraftian characters.

IMHO, Marvel's Many Angled Ones were seriously lacking in any kind of showings or character development. And, the tainted characters from the Cancerverse were too stereotypical, mindless and silly.

The writers should have actually read some Lovecraft before trying to capitalize on his work.

lol, just realized this is a team vs. team battle. doh

anyway, team 1 wins with ease. in the lovecraft mythos, cthulhu is no less than a multiversal entity whose only confirmed superior is azathoth. just for a rough point of comparison: the entire lovecraft totality was essentially created by azathoth throwing it up-- and he/it didn't even notice what he/it had created, as said creation was still utterly insignificant in comparison to him/it. basically, the lovecraft multiverse is to azathoth, what the dc multiverse is to the primal monitor. no shame in cthulhu being weaker than an entity of that magnitude... and in this thread cthulhu has a bunch of his minions/cronies/offspring/ripoffs backing him up-- no way they can lose. [/rant]

aside from the above, the mao's were simply piss-poor entities in general... and horribly executed to boot. 👇

that mao's were piss-poor, imo.

What issues did the Outergods appear?

the outergods you came up with in this thread? or the ones from the cthulhu mythos?

On the DC hierarchy list, it states the Outergods were in the skyfather + tier. The list above were on the list, but never heard of them other than King of Tears, Syththnu, and M'Nagalah from Swamp Thing.

Speaking of M'Nagalah, since you read Swamp Thing, how powerful was he? He looks a lot bigger than earth.

If anyone has issue numbers of Outer Gods appearances in DC it would be greatly appreciated if they get PMed to me.
I didn't know Cthulhu was in the universe.

Well, there is Shuma

If only I can contact Elrahprime again. He was the one who created the original list. These creatures are probably in an issue of Spectre or something.

I remember that one of them (Koth-Shugoth) from a flashback in a Spectre comic. I think that was his only appearance.

Basically he was beating the JSA, Dr. Fate called Spectre in to help him, Spectre beat him in a few pages, and Fate was amazed/terrified by Spectre's power.

Never heard of Syththunu or Daemoniacus though.

Eclipso summoned Syththunu in the last JLA arc where Eclipso gathers all the shadow beings. Supposedly Syththunu existed before the Godwave.

Lovecraft's Cthulhu was weak as hell. A boat rammed into him and split his head open. It regenerated, but that's still some crappy durability.

Anyway, MAO ftw.

When was DC's Cthulhu taken down by a boat and how does MAO take down KOT? KOT cannot be killed and defeated Spectre.

I was speaking of Lovecraft's version of Cthulhu, not DC's. Anyway, not being able to die isn't really a factor in this battle. The MAO's can't die either.

Sounds like an epic monster mash. 😎
