^ The big deal is that in DC, absolutely nothing can survive entropy-- not even Black Flash(as the scan zop posted depicts.) This is important because Black Flash=a personification of Death: ie. in DC, entropy>Death.
Regardless, Imperiex never used entropy in such a way, thus it shouldn't be considered 'in character' for him here. Imo.

That's like saying Eternity can't time travel because he's never been shown doing it on panel. He's the freaking EMBODIMENT of TIME.

Wasn't that only one incarnation?
Originally posted by zopzopYou're saying that Imperiex would unleash a large-scale entropy rift, despite him never doing so on panel(even though he had multiple opportunities to)..? Yeah, it's not in character for him, bro. He doesn't just go around throwing large-scale entropy rifts at his foes for the lulz.
Uhm, isn't Imperiex Prime the EMBODIMENT OF ENTROPY?!That's like saying Eternity can't time travel because he's never been shown doing it on panel. He's the freaking EMBODIMENT of TIME.
In fact, the only instance I can recall in which Imperiex even utilized entropy in an offensive manner was when he killed Doomsday. However, that was a very small entropic blast-- certainly not large enough to cause any significant damage to the massiveness that is the GE.

Just because the target of his attack was roughly a human sized object doesn't mean he couldn't open a larger rift vs a larger opponent. He's the goddamn embodiment of Entropy. 😠
Originally posted by zopzopOkay? He's still never unleashed a massive entropy rift, despite having multiple opportunities to do so. Therefore, it absolutely should not be considered 'in character' tactic for him to release an entropy rift several miles in breadth(the GE certainly appeared to be that large to me.)
You just proved Team Imperiex's point. He HAS unleashed an entropic rift attack.Just because the target of his attack was roughly a human sized object doesn't mean he couldn't open a larger rift vs a larger opponent. He's the goddamn embodiment of Entropy. 😠
And like bran pointed out: the blast Imperiex used wasn't even stated to be entropic in nature-- I am just assuming it was. It very well may have been some other type of energy, though, given that DD's skeleton was still left intact. After all, when DD was dropped into 'true' entropy at the end of the H/P saga, it erased him utterly and completely-- absolutely nothing of him remained... And considering Brainiac went back in time and saved him from that fate during Doomsday Wars(which negated the potential for DD to adapt to said energy, assuming it would even be possible), 'true' entropy should have still had the same effect on DD during the Imperiex affair-- it should have erased DD in his entirety. /shrug

Evidently the writers just had DD's skeleton survive so that he could be used again in future plots... Unless DD's skeleton>entropy>universes/Death... Which I'm fine with. 👆

I don't see the word entropy anywhere in that scan.Reported for lying.

👆 I can't believe we're having questions about DD's skeleton still being around to try to degrade what Imperiex did to him in the entropic blast. I guess its really that hard to understand lol... Its not the first time entropy has left just a skeleton and I'm sure it won't be the last. GE loses no doubt about it!
😂

None of those beings are entropic or have the power of the big bang. Not that they couldn't beat him but it show's how powerful DD is at that time. Just one blast from Imperiex was all it took to devastate Apokolips.

You realize that with the size of the attack that he unleashed on Warworld, that if it was entropy, and entropy is the be all end all attack, that he should have ripped Apokalips in half?
Although it was said to be a massive EMP.
But I see we're attributing Brainiac's feats with a planet full of tech and Imperiex's powers to Imperiex solely.
How about that getting overpowered by Superman? How about a being who got beat by Dominus adding her might to Superman's and destroying his armor and thus defeating him in the process? How about Kyle containing the explosion for a short period of time? Brainiac tech capable of not being disintegrated by the energy.
Etc.
Imperiex wins because of his power source... when his power source wasn't shown to be very impressive in the arc itself. That's what's happening in this thread. It's not something he did, it's just his power source.
