In case you missed it, the Flame of Pytar is an outside source of power, and not at all a normal Despero at full power, or at his normal best. If we want to go that route, I could just say Adam Warlock with the IG. It is no longer just about Despero, but a DC character standing behind the Flame of Pytar [insert name] vs Some poor Marvel character [insert name] without anything to offset the handicap in play. Is that what the people arguing for Despero are aiming at? More importantly, is that what you are aiming at? If so, no character below a powerful cosmic, or abstract level being has a prayer against an equally powerful artifact that was augmenting Despero.
Not sure what Your getting at here.
The OP said Despero at his best. Darksiant asked if that would make it Flame of Pytar Despero.
Personally for me Warlock at his best WOULD BE with the SG, Thanos would be with the IG. If it said at his best without amps then Despero would be V&V level, and it should have said so.
Would we not consider Superman at his best to be Sundipped, or Hulk to be either WWH or WBH??? Wouldn't Sentry at his best be with full void potential??
