So yes, the PG alone WAS enough to easily beat Strange /w/ all of his artifacts. Strange himself stated as much.

Easily beat my ass. no2

He was still standing face to face with Adam.
People get the infamous misconception that he was wtf pwned because of the line of narration at the bottom of this page:

"Against It None Of My Vaunted Talismans Could Stand..."
He was speaking of his Talismans individually:

But as we see on the next page, Strange says:

"I had arranged for all my talismans to act TOGETHER to counteract it."
Which resulted in "An outpouring of power against power" thus leading to a momentary equilibrium.

The statement "which I know, almost at once, cannot long endure" means he would be incapable of maintaining the power struggle for a prolonged period. But it didn't come to that. As is, he stalemated the gem. He wasn't beaten nor stomped.

Apparently you aren't comprehending what I'm saying...

I said that the PG alone was enough to easily beat Strange /w/ all of his artifacts. ie. the power gem would have eventually prevailed against Strange in that confrontation. That much was stated by Strange himself. However(and this is where you seem to be getting confused), I never said the PG actually defeated Strange-- he (Strange) shifted the battle elsewhere before that happened.

So you can save your snide comments/scans for when they're relevant.

stalemate

It's not a question of what would've happened.
You said he was easily beaten & stomped but.....HE WASN'T.
Nothing snide about it.

Hell, the PG alone was enough to easily stomp Strange(who had brought ALL of his artifacts to the battle.)

Easy, right?

THIS was my exact quote: As was confirmed through narration, the PG alone *was* enough to stomp Strange in that encounter. But again: I *never* said the PG was *actually* used to defeat Strange. That doesn't change the fact that it *could* have, though-- which was my point.

Easy, right?

Im aware of what you said & you can twist the words all you want but you said flat out that he was easily beaten and stomped Galan, This is far from the truth.

We can treat this like Burger King and you can have it your way though.
Would you like a shake with that combo? 😎

AGAIN: I said the PG was enough to stomp Strange-- which it WAS (Strange confirmed this.) However, I never once said that Strange was actually stomped by the gem (that's YOU twisting MY words.) In fact, if you simply LOOK at the scans I posted on the last page, you can very clearly see that Strange was still fighting Warlock AFTER the PG was used-- so obviously the battle didn't end with the PG.

You are making this harder than it needs to be, and twisting what I actually said in an effort to justify whatever point you thought you had. Stop. Arguing just to argue is no bueno.

The tense in which you used the word ” was” (in the sense that it already happened) is out of context. It alludes to Strange losing. ”Would have been”, I think, would have been a better choice of words.
