O_o that goes without saying and it's mores like Spectre >>>> Fate. even the scans i used show Spec bests Fate (as he has in all four of their altercations). The whole point of ALL that was to demonstrate even Spectre can't destroy Fate. Even fate's low showings don't show him susceptible to sustainable damage. At best he's been immobilized, BFR'd, or some such.Odin would beat standard Classic Fate every time I simply believe that Fate would put up a decent fight before he goes down.
Yeah, that goes without saying for someone like you (who actually read the stories), but for those who didn't, and based on scans/comments posted in this thread, some may think that Fate was at the very least at Spectre's level (which would be.....multiversal level, at least in some minds). Im sure many people don't read classic stories. Hence the clarification.
That aside, I do remember knocking the Spectre and himself in the process in another encounter (it's from JLA #193, the part which features special All star squadron preview):

Fair enough on the second part.

Gotta love the inconsistency of those old GA stories huh? it was just a couple of issues later during a the telling of Fate's origin he was after some hell lord Nedal.
Yes, which is why he's not the all powerful character some are presenting him to be (not pointing at you).
also, Fate's first origins story, was told before more fun comics #69. It was in the same More Fun comics issue (Spectre's story) which had Kathoon mind-control the Spectre or something like that.

and this brings me back to where I came in, there just aren't enough scans OF THIS Fate. basically we have the 5 pages of the story where he battled Ynar and Vaneamon, a page or so after the mantle passed back to Kent and Inza from Erik and Linda and the scan I showed earlier which is after Inza breaks Chaos' as her power source and draws from all mankind and can once again merge with Kent.Six or seven pages of material to judge a version by simply isn't enough which is why it mostly becomes conjecture.
Yep, although that version of Fate featured in the Flash story, does definitely have a chance against Odin, im not saying otherwise. but it's definitely not a certain win for Fate (like LoB is saying here).
And there's that one thing, the world returned back to normal as a side effect of Fate beating the lords. And in that Flash issue (#312) we merely saw the landscape warped:

So it's a bit questionable, regarding the scale of the feat.
But yeah, too much limited material to go by.

I hope I'm not one of those people, if it seemed that way it was certainly NOT my intent. He is far from all powerful. He's certainly high up the ranks in DC's power houses but no where near an all powerful character. he is limited like all other DCU mystics by the laws of DC magic (which fro Classic fate was under the 9th age)
Ive got no problem with you. At least you are respectful and backing up your stance with evidence, as opposed to someone like LoB who just makes fun of other people comments and hides behind your back.
