Suppose I could have read on to catch that.
Anyways, that confirms he wasn't depowered.

He always killed every other new god by sheer power as we see on panel, Bekka, Kalibak and Mantis and Orion to name a few. Plus there is no proof whatsoever that he was killing them because he was kryptonite to them.Good.

The Source may have created the New Gods, but except for Takion it's not their direct power source. Takion's link to the Source is what makes him unique.

It was noted that Takion was the New Gods' "sole link to the Source":

This makes absolutely no sense.

New Gods had no better or worse chance against DotNG IM than anyone else. You can't and won't find any proof to the contrary. Only difference was IM had no interest in killing non-New Gods (see Superman, whom he was more or less indifferent towards).
Originally posted by CogitoIt makes perfect sense as the Source is responsible for the new gods. The Source then saw fit when to end it.

We see him run off by Gog showing he was not that powerful IMO.
Technically, the Source is responsible for ALL life/super-powered beings across the universe, not just the New Gods-- God Wave, anyone?
And unless you believe that JSA-Gog was more powerful than an ALE-amped Scott Free, then IM probably wasn't 'run off' because of any sort of power differential. /shrug

It's not mentioned on panel how Takion was defeated. He kind of just..dies.It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume that he was depowered, but there's a couple things to consider here.
1. Takion didn't change appearances. A depowered Takion ought to return to human form, as he was before he was empowered.
2. Unlike other New Gods, Takion is a direct link to the Source itself. It's what he was created to be. It would make sense that the Source (or his agent) could withdraw that power easily. There's never been any mention of any other New God's power coming from the Source, so what goes for Takion doesn't go for all New Gods.
Apologies, poor phrasing on my part. I didn't mean depowered in the sense he was turned mortal, but that Infinity Man messed with his powers or some such in a way that he can't with Gorr. Hmm, aren't all New Gods connected to the Source and ultimately their energies are a part of it?
But it doesn't matter if he messed with the New God's powers or killed them legitimately. As we saw against Scott with the ALE, he could tap into the Source to empower himself, which puts him on a different level from Gorr.
Gorr's pretty beastly though. It was featless but he time traveled to the Void (Before the Universe was born) and killed an Elder God.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusGorr is beastly. He's also accumulated extremely uber feats very rapidly. Like I said earlier: if his feats keep racking up at their current rate, he'll be a legit threat by the conclusion of this arc.

At half power less than infinite isn't impressive considering we see him turn tail and run from Gog.
