My bad, right ... Man-Thing.
Starlight Citadel is an omniversal Nexus, so it has access to those energies for tapping.
Or had access, I don't know what's going on with this new story,
I have to read it for myself.
Originally posted by Endless Mike I thought the citadel was just one of many places it messed up.
It ripped out of 616 when it was re-arranged into 58163,
crashed into Otherworld where the Starlight Citadel is located,
when it took down the ST, it simultaneously flipped all the realities connected to it. (omniverse)
Originally posted by Endless Mike You know that retcon means they are changing something
so the new version overrides the old version, right?
Heh, Yea I knew that Mike. 🙂
If the ST (an omniversal Nexus) with defenses to explode universes,
is being ransacked by punks that shouldn't be able to,
that would mean imo, it's either PIS, or, the ST is not as potent as it used to be.
Which is a "change" in my book.

That was the plot.
No Fury, no Marvel.
Originally posted by Endless Mike 238 Jaspers was killed by Lord Mandragon using the CN,
which you said was just a fraction of Merlyn's power.
Actually the CN was used on 238 Eternity.
I also explained why 238 JJ was affected.
That aside, I never said the CN was a "fraction" of Merlyn's power.
I said team Excalibur used a "fraction" of Merlyn's power
to reverse/rebuild a Multiversal collapse in progress.
Originally posted by Endless Mike But he still couldn't absorb the omniverse instantly.
That's not the way his power works.
Yes, MJJ does not wake up "omniversal."
MJJ wakes up as "God."
Then "God's" power begins to flow outward in all directions,
and everything and anything it comes across, it over powers and controls completely.
Now, outside of THIS "God's" power ... you can be universal, multiversal even omniversal like Merlyn,
ain't gonna do ya any good.
Because withIN his warp, Jaspers' power was absolute.
Originally posted by Endless Mike And I was using that example to show that characters who are weaker
than what you are claiming for Merlyn have comparable feats.
How can a character be "weaker" than Merlyn,
and be able to wtf manipulate the entire DC omniverse?
... geesh, they should be at-least equal.
Originally posted by Endless Mike I don't remember the exact issue (Countdown was a while ago, and to be honest
a bunch of it is best left forgotten), but Darkseid and the Monitor were playing chess
with each other, each of the pieces was a statue of a different character who were
all spread throughout the multiverse, and when they made their moves things
would happen to the characters that corresponded with their pieces.
Cool. I would've enjoyed to feast my eyes.
btw. Merlyn also had Chessboards floating around him each representing a universe.
Originally posted by Endless Mike Okay, but could Merlyn do what the CN could do without using the crystals? Like
just snap his fingers and do what Lord Mandragon did to universe 238? Because if
not you could say that he just built the machine, he doesn't have the inherent power
of the machine. Like if Iron Man or someone builds a weapon, that doesn't mean
they can duplicate the power of the weapon with just the natural power of their bodies.
He created Otherworld (pan-dimensional actuality) from nothingness.
Otherworld is a Universe containing multiple Realities. (one of a kind)
If he also had the power to jack the actual Life-Force of the Omniverse,
and place its significance & durability in 4' crystals
that if you pop one you snuff out an entire Universe ...
... it would seem to me outright destruction of a Reality would be child's play for him.
Originally posted by Endless Mike That was because he could adapt to it,
Solar once fought someone who could adapt to any power but he defeated him anyway.
That's in Solar's world.
In Marvel's world, it's a different story.
This is why cross-comapany battles don't work for me.
Originally posted by Endless Mike So wait, you think the likes of LT and TOAA couldn't have stopped him? Just
because they weren't mentioned in the story doesn't mean they couldn't have
kicked his ass if it came down to that. There are a lot of stories (i.e. Chaos War) with
a big threat to the multiverse/omniverse and TOAA and LT don't show up, and
everyone is worried that all reality is in danger, but that doesn't mean those entities
are > LT and TOAA. More like LT and TOAA just didn't feel the need to interfere yet,
or they had used their omniscience to foresee that MJJ would be defeated and thus
didn't need to interfere.
I never said anything about TOAA.
If you know me, and I think you do, it's silly even to bring up TOAA against anyone.
On to the Living Tribunal.
IMO, cause I have no proof:
Could the LT stop MJJ?
I'd say yes.
NOT Imo, since this is a fact!
Would the LT stop MJJ?
No. ... MJJ does not represent an imbalance of power.
This is why Cobweb witnessed the Omniverse being cancelled by 616 Jaspers
in a possible future where he wasn't stopped by the Fury.
Reason:
MJJ's power engulfs but does not stack,
so this means he's a Reality warper who's power is consistently stagnant.
The LT can only directly interfere when the power source is first of the Prime Multiverse,
and second,
elevating the parameters of the power contained withIN the closed system of the prime Multiverse.
The LT can and has been involved in decisions concerning other Multiverses
and eventualities outside of space-time.
Originally posted by Endless Mike Make a forum thread of LT vs. MJJ, I guarantee you everyone
(well, everyone sane, which will be the vast majority of everyone) will say LT wins.
😐 I never said even mentioned the LT, until you brought it up.
Originally posted by Endless Mike And you still didn't answer my question, why couldn't Solar do to him what the Fury did?
Actually I did reply. I always reply to everything friend. Stay with me if you wanna debate.
Anyway, Solar isn't the Fury.
Again, Fury was the ONLY existence that was immune to Jaspers' warp.
THIS, coupled with durability surpassing Abstracts,
and THIS, plus the most effective adaptive ability ever seen.
And yet, another truth that isn't highlighted enough,
is that Jaspers was fine, until taken to "un-space"
while the Fury by that point was depleted near exhaustion.
That fight would've lasted a couple more panels
and Jaspers eventually wins with a big smile at 100% optimal efficiency.
He controls Reality, the dude can't tire or be really hurt.
Originally posted by Endless Mike Yes but he's also done some morally questionable stuff. He's an interesting character.
I think he's no joke. I seen the respect threads.
