Originally posted by abhilegendBit of an overstatement. Their 'battle' lasted like 3 pages total. IM tanked a few of JSA Gog's blasts before teleporting away. Gog spent the entire 'fight' throwing around empty boasts -- so I take his "he fled" comment with a grain of salt.
Gog. Even JSA Gog scared away Infinity Man.
Not even Kingdom Gog is on par with Scott Free /w/ ALE, imo... And that is the type of power required to truly stalemate this version of IM.

Seeing how Scott killed Infinity Man
Proof that Gog can generate enough power to destroy the Source Wall in its entirety, please. 🙂

Seeing how Scott killed Infinity Man without taking any damage I highly doubt it.And Superman overpowered Infinity Man in h2h before he used an energy cage to contain him. Gog easily overpowered Superman several times casually.

Trading a few blasts don't mean much for stalemating.

A holding back IM was urging a serious Superman to stop. He wasn't out there to kill Supes and wanted to spare his life. So "overpowering" is not a word I would choose.
IM was basically the "will" of the source.
"Depart immediately and you will be spared. "
That doesn't sounds like someone holding back.
Originally posted by abhilegendIncorrect. Scott WAS trying to kill IM the entire time, because he sought revenge for Barda's death...
Scott wasn't trying to kill IM before that.
Scott: "IMPOSSIBLE! No one could have survived that!":
Superman: "Metron, they're going to butcher each other!":
Scott: "I choose to destroy you, murderer!":
Despite actively trying to kill IM, it wasn't until Scott unleashed a blast capable of destroying the Source Wall in its entirety that he was actually able to do so.

Infinity Man flat out asked Superman to leave or suffer the consequences."Depart immediately and you will be spared. "

IM could have outright killed him if he wanted to. Unless of course you think Superman is DotNG IM level....

Getting killed isn't a feat.

That's the definition of holding back.IM could have outright killed him if he wanted to. Unless of course you think Superman is DotNG IM level....
Holy circular logic batman!
Originally posted by abhilegendThe dialogue couldn't be clearer. Scott WAS trying to kill IM from the onset.
Yeah, Scott was trying to avenge Barda but until that last scene he wasn't trying to actually kill IM. That's what IM was trying to goad him into and Scott realized he was played.Getting killed isn't a feat.
It certainly is a feat, because it shows us the amount of power required to kill IM... And before unleashing enough power to destroy the Source Wall in it's entirety(which is infinite, btw) they were stalemating. I can post the entire fight, if you'd like?

That's such a "duh" statement I can't believe I even had to say it. The wtf-ease that IM dismissed Superman in an energy cage that Superman couldn't get out of in the next panel is definitive proof of the vast difference in power between the two in that instance.*
*and if that isn't proof enough for you, IM hanging legitimately with ALE Scott sure ought to be
