Originally posted by Galan007 As far as I can tell, Phyla didn't absorb any of Genis' blasts... And Genis' demeanor was such that he was bloodlusted and wanted to kill Phyla(4th scan.)
He never wanted to really kill her, or hurt her. This was revealed later.
But that aside, Phyla was able to absorb Genis' blasts in 616:
(scan is of them in that other Universe where Genis is powerless)

Originally posted by Galan007 That being said, Phyla did extremely well against him:
Phyla also forcibly pulled Genis through one of his own temporal rifts:
Whatever happened between Phyla and Genis was subconsciously manipulated by Genis.

As you can see,
the rift coincidentally led to a realm where Genis became powerless,
a place where Genis can finally end his games,
and give the mantle of "Captain Marvel" pride.
I wouldn't be surprised if Genis created this universe with that specific intent.
-----------------------------------------------------
This arc is the end of Genis' insanity. (he was actually never truly insane we learn)
He manipulated circumstances to first, stay in check via Rick, (brain fry ability)
and second, to end the seeming insanity and become a hero again,
in this realm where he can be handled by the Titans, and forced to face the truth:

Then, immediately back in 616, he's no longer "insane" (actually he matures)

Anyway,
Genis literally re-created Everything withIN Reality, (re-arranging Timelines and all)
including himself,
and it wasn't a perfect job:
(these scans also verify that Genis actually re-introduced UniverseS to the Multiverse,
like a Timeline that had never happened)

(reconfiguring Timelines)
This is what made him go bananas at the end of the Entropy affair
when he tried to physically change history and it back fired on em then his CA took em over the hill.
-----------------------------------------------------
But regardless, even Phyla knew who made her and the Universe around her:

That would be Genis!

Shortly thereafter, Sentry literally said: "That's it... No more holding back.":
Photon only 'won' that battle by BFR'ing Sentry to the Microverse.
Then I guess, it doesn't matter, and this occurrence is irrelevant.
Originally posted by Galan007 If by 'plot-induced', you mean that Zemo had acquired the Moonstones, and used
them to effortlessly perma-defeat Genis via temporal manipulation, then you are
correct.
heh ... I'll return to this one.
