but Rachel also literally stated:
that neither herself or Necrom had the power out-put to take out the Solar System,
which is why Necrom had to use his surroundings to do it.
(a couple moons, a planet or two, and finally the gas giant to finish the job)So whatever her "not holding back" potential is ... it's below Solar System buster.
They weren't destroying solar systems good friend, not even one outright.
Necrom took chunks out first then ignited a gas giant to finalize the destruction,
that's as far as they were going according to Rachel's own words.Imo, Rachel would've helped destroy solar systems faster if she had joined Necrom's maneuvers,
but I also think that statement is hyperbolic, cause the circumstances
would've had to been them fighting without interruption for a very long time, (many solar systems in a galaxy)
before taking out the universe imo.
Mr. M, that statement doesn't disqualify them as potential universe busters. The writer of that arc (and it was expanded on later) said that the PF draws power from the 'near infinite elemental forces of the universe'. On it's own, in it's natural state, it doesn't need to do that, but when it enters this level of reality, it feeds off those outside sources of power present in the universe to sustain itself. That's why Necrom was lashing out using the environment, he could only access the PF at whatever level Rachel was using and Rachel was holding back........... a lot. He was elated when she charged him and he had a chance to get the whole thing from her. She willed the PF to hand over it's full power to him and he exploded.
Later, when the PF possessed Rachel confronts Galactus, he tells it out right that it's source of power is infinite and that source of power is all life not yet born.
So the PF under Davis was indeed a universal power. Later writers don't seem to think so.
