DCnU Superman attacks these characters

Firstly, I have no investment in Silver Surfer at all.

Now, am I to believe Superman>>>Spectre from this feat? I don't think so. The fact that Superman could and Spectre couldn't says more about the writing than the characters involved.

Lastly, other than destroying PS' form (only to reform later) the attack was pretty standard of Supes... fly really fast into them. That is what appears to be happening after all. So in that regard it isn't that impressive. The power on the other hand, I'll admit, is. Not to say I believe it makes much sense. It looks awesome, makes for alright storytelling but at the end of the day I find it hard to believe. So while you may in fact be in awe of the feat, I remain skeptical. But hey, that's just me.

Oh and JuggernautMania, thanks for that creative picture of 'too literal' you painted for me. I found it amusing. Although, now I'm a little disappointed I won't be seeing that guy, could have been helpful the next time I'm in a situation like that.

Or Soulfire Darkseid laughing off an attack from Source himself and Superman cutting him in half just pages after that.

It happens too many times to ignore.

Stop ignoring it, Carv. Superman > Voice.

Tbh, on a more serious note, I can see it happening. The Spectre is always being jobbed.

😂

The Phantom Stranger hasn't been super impressive yet in the DCnU, the best thing he's done is fight with the newly born Spectre, even there the only reason I found it impressive was because it showed he could casually stop time indefinitely.

Even Wonder Woman put him on his arse during Trinity War. So in short, I don't think this showing from Superman is enough to say he can one shot kill his peers.

A jobber Spectre who was going to destroy the whole creation in his fight with Stranger?

😂

A jobber Spectre who fails to accomplish what Superman did, yes.

Strange how shattering the PS does not affect creation....

I don't think that's a low showing in any way or form.

Also putting someone on his ass is vastly inferior to shattering his body to the point of laughable.

I can't help but laugh at this.

Not under this writer though. And she certainly didn't do that to Stranger's giant form.

I'm not really comparing the two feats, I'm just saying that Phantom Stranger hasn't been overly impressive thus far, to the point that even Wonder Woman has made him look bad.

Surviving Spectre trying to squeeze your life out and then putting him on his ass is impressive as heck.

Da**, Diana straight up owned him.

That lasso is haxxx. Nearly destroying creation to the point God himself has to intervene is impressive as hell. Spectre couldn't do anything to him last issue too.

What do you mean nearly destroying creation? Are you referencing the presence-dog's statement? If so, he means that Spectre and PS represent a cosmic balance and disrupting it would threaten creation. There was no indication that their minor scuffle would have had any greater affects outside of local collateral damage.

Anyway all this nitpick of such a simple feat is mind-boggling. Like I said if it had been done by say Thor or Surfer, nobody would've asked a damn thing. Stranger is an abstract, shattering his body and soul in oneshot is ****ing impressive as hell when Spectre couldn't do anything to him in the LAST ISSUE.

Can we get back on topic please?

Reason why we're nitpicking, is because it could well be PIS.

No, it was never stated that the strike was due to the psychic energy. All it did was center psychic energy on him which made him an epicenter of supernatural energy which the spirits were using as an anchor to enter this reality. Read the scans carefully.

Where in the scans did it say the lasso did all of the work? She didnt use the lasso the way you think she did.

GTFO here with this bullshit.😆

Close but no cigar carter. The lasso did all the work. That makes Superman casually breaking out of it even more impressive.
Really? Presence said "play nicely or the whole creation may pay the price". That implies not to fight each other, not that their roles are so important.

Yes, and right before that it says; "you two have cosmic roles to play, you balance eachother precisely, play nicely ect.."

IMO, that references disrupting the cosmic balance, maybe if one kills the other all of creation would be threatened? Saying that little quarrel would threaten all of creation is a big reach for me.

Your blatant hypocrisy in completely ignoring the massive boost which Superman got from the psychic energy of a million people when he performed that Abstract-busting feat notwithstanding, you mean to tell me that the lasso controls Diana's motor functions? That it somehow magically amped her when yanked the PS towards herself and then proceeded to choke her with the rope?

GTFO here with this bullshit.😆

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought that it was the mass of psychic energy that gave Superman the capacity to pull off this feat. The Phantom Stranger's monologue gave me the feeling that the supernatural energy that surrounds Superman was the key and without it he wouldn't have fared nearly as well.

This is pitiful. Diana flipped Stranger after catching him in the lasso and that means she somehow owned him? What does that even means? That she is strong enough to flip him?

Also Superman wasn't amped by that psychic energy and according to the issue, it wasn't something new. Superman was always the center of that energy. Take your hating ass out of the thread.

Also Zauriel erased Stranger from Existence and the creation wasn't ended.

That's because it was God's will that he be erased.
