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

He said Lovecraft's not DC's.

I got that, but if anyone of you knows what ISSUES he appeared in, that would be swell.

Ninjak?

Quite the graveyard smash.

Didn't Constantine face off against a Lovecraftian type of beast?

I see this as being an epic stalemate regardless.
Heck, they would probably just join forces.

Thor, Surfer and Galactus faced off againt the Other. Another name for Oblivion. When it showed it's true face, it was obviously inspired by Lovecraft. And I can't imagine a stronger villain.

Back in the old Swamp Thing days, yes. Though they are ten a penny in these types of stories - there was a tentacly type monster in the Fear MAchine arc as well.

The Other was not Oblivion.

How come he called himself Oblivion? And seemed powerful enough to render the universe dead?

That's not The Other. The Other was that green guy with a billion eyes. The comic ended with him and Scrier agreeing to call off their fight for 500 million years because they might accidentally destroy the multiverse, which was exactly what Oblivion wanted to happen.

Ahhh gotcha, thanks. I thought they were the same being.

Well the Other was very much a Lovecraftian style upper level being.

The MAO didn't quite turn out as Lovecraftian as I hoped. Haven't read the DC ones, but they kind of look more like what I would expect.

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.

In the Pen and Paper games Cthulhu could be killed via nuke.
And in other mediums it can be killed via low level doses of arms and magic.

But it always returned to full health later in its realm.
I always saw Cthulhu as a harbinger of the upper beings in the pantheon anyways.

It depends on whether or not cthulhu gets cartman.

Right. Shuma is the only Marvel Lovecraftian with street-cred.

He was one of the MAO you know, right?

I didn't know Cthulhu was in the universe.

in all honesty (ie. bias aside) the mao's are powerful as hell-- more powerful than the galactus engine, in fact. they could probably beat/imprison/kill most of the creatures on the "dc" side. however, i still have a hard time imagining them defeating the king of tears or cthulhu(as long as we can use ALL of it's showings). /shrug

King of Tears= JSA All-Stars #2-6, JSA #16-20
Koth-Shugoth= Spectre v3 Annual #1
Syththunu= JLA #54-59
M'Nagalah= The All New Atom #2-6, Challengers of the Unknown #82-83. There's a few more, but those are the main ones.
Cthulhu= a shitload of comics, none of them DC.
Daemoniacus= ?. Never heard of it.

Yeah LordMarvell evoked Shuma-Gorath during the kill Death ritual in Thanos Imperative.

Yeah, Cthulhu, when restricted solely to Lovecraft's stories, is rather unimpressive. Certainly one of the lower entities on the totem pole, hell IIRC he's "merely" a priest for the Great Old Ones which are then under the Outer Gods.
