Seems to me that the Supes haters bring him into threads more than anyone.I question the validity of Hyp's feat not to discredit Hyp, but because Marvel has a thing for putting outrageous things on panel and then copping out later.
You just explained comics. 😐

So basically speaking, you dislike a comic book company and therefore hold scrutiny to any feat performed by characters from said company? Yeah, that surely doesn't reek of bias. 👆

It is pretty much the definition of a strength feat. Unless you want to suggest that some sort of tactile telekinesis was implied to be used in that scene?
My suggestion is the same as before. The planets crumbled before Hyp found whether he has the strength to push them apart. His durable body could have been doing the holding.
Plus anyone trying to use the cascade universe destruction to argue that he held the universes apart, that's just ridiculous.

There really isn't anything ambiguous about the narration, "By the time the worlds were about to touch, he was all that remained of them. Hyperion held them apart... until the worlds broke. The cascading energy collapsing two entire universes. And everything died. Everything... except him." Or about the ramifications of said act when Reed explicated what Cap was doing in New Avengers #3, "That Earth is like an island breaking the surface of an ocean. He's literally pushing an entire universe hidden from us..." Hyperion held two universes apart that were merging, until they collapsed around him. He couldn't stop the incursion, like Cap w/IG. Or reverse it. But he stood in the gap and held. In other words, IDLI, IDH.
😂
yep, clearly that is what i meant. thank god you're here to occasionally clear up these issues. actually, i DON'T like it, but it did happen, unfortunately. i DO think that there will likely be some further elaboration on it (and the writer has hinted at such). if there isn't, cool, it goes so far outside his usual showings that it is the definition of PIS. so, it's 'meh', either way.
Obviously. But derivative supporting characters are allowed to have high feats also. When Superman Prime survived a universe buster, the forum's collective heart was aflutter with only a few trolls trying to act like it didn't happen. Hyperion virtually doubles that feat and only a few acknowledge it and most of the conversation revolves around people hoping (not so subtly) that some future story twist reversal will nullify the feat.
guilty as charged. i DO hope it's reversed, or at least explained away more fully. prime had myriad feats that make that feat at least somewhere within the realm of believability regarding his character. hyperion.........doesn't. in fact, he has nothing even close to what he did here--no one, anywhere, does. yet we should blindly accept him having 'held apart' 2 universes WITHOUT questioning said feat at all? even when the writer himself has said there will be more info to come? nuh-uh. not me any way. the feat is sooooo ludicrous that it DESERVES skepticism. believe as blithely as you wish, i don't care. just don't try telling me what i have to and don't have to accept or question. please.

He held those universes apart, because that is exactly what happened. Or did you not get the memo when Reed noted that Cap(w/ IG) pushing back an Earth was literally him pushing back that Earth's whole universe?

I never speak basically, nor do I reek.
Are you saying Marvel doesn't do this? Hulk straight up lifted Mjolnir? Sentry really is the Angel of Death?
Not bias; just observation.
