Odin vs. Progenitor

He fought Infinity without any tool, fought Forsung w/scepter, he fought Thanos with Gungnir, fought Galactus without a tool, etc...
In the end it's all Odin and the Odinforce.

how extensive was the damage caused by infinity, cuz all the scans says is "on every world where carnage hath occurred" ? 😕

and why did odin use his power scepter to undo the damage? could he have done that without it?

It was never specified how much damage he had done so far it was very extensive across the Universe. Hela had released that aspect of Odin to literally destroy creation and return it to her dimension of death (Hela was Death before Death at this point). The story lasted from #182 to #188. It was a really fun arc, recommend read. The last Stan Lee Thor story.

For example: Galaxies were said to be destroyed as a side-effect of Odin's duel with Infinity so we have some perspective.

The Scepter is nothing but a worthless trinket unless Odin deems otherwise. Loki discovered this first hand.

why would odin use the scepter if it is worthless? almost seemed like he required it because he specifically chose and used it. maybe the scepter is just worthless in the wrong hands like thor's hammer?

The scepter is a symbol of Odin's throne, power and can be used to channel the Odin-Force like Gugnir or Mjolnir but it is ultimately powerless without Odin. That isn't even the original scepter for example. The original one Loki claimed because he thought it would make him all powerful like Odin:

Ah the old days. When being a wise but stern and strong yet thoughtful patriarch didn't equate to being a sexist ******* moron.

I know all about that panel. It implies that the rogue aspect of Odin was a portion of Infinity not just a crazy aspect of Odin called Infinity* wrecking havoc across the Universe but what does that have to do with Odin restoring all the damage with a wave of his hand after he defeated Infinity?

*Not sure which is more impressive but the story was retold with no mention of the cosmic abstract Infinity after Quasar #19 so it's moot anyways.

Ergo amped.

That entire arc was a clusterphuck.

No.

He reabsorbed a rogue portion of himself and as of that story the entity known as Infinity seized to exist.

You think that after Infinity was defeated the retcon was intending for Odin to still be connected to Infinity?

That flies completely against the spirit of the retcon (And doesn't make sense).

It would also mean that Odin got a permanent upgrade as that aspect was never separated again so it doesn't change anything for the validity of the feat. Clearly this is stupid as that was never the intention in either comic but it's the only logical conclusion. 🙂

Odin said galaxies were destroyed. The scale, art and stakes of the comic totally support this.

Odin by himself was helpless to restore the worlds hidden by Infinity.

No galaxies were shown or stated to be destroyed. Even the scientists inform that the planets were disappearing one by one.

Abhi u need help.

Pretty sure there's a reason u didn't include #188 where it stated that he returned the universe to normal.

Odin said he will not fall even if galaxies fall. That's it. The official index for the issue states only planets were destroyed in the fight.

Where did this happen? Can I have an issue number please. 🙂

I would like to note, that this a logical continuation of your argument. I don't at all believe Infinity was at play in anyway after Odin reabsorbed it even if we include the retcon.

A summary in a handbook NOT stating that Galaxies were destroyed does not counter Odin flat out stating that Galaxies were destroyed.

"Odin states Galaxies were destroyed"
*Posts Handbook not going into any detail into the destruction*
"No Galaxies were said to be destroyed"

Are you simple or just a liar? The scientist were observing Infinity's progress systematically earlier, what does that have to do with the fight between Infinity and Odin? Scientists from Earth were able to view the fight and Infinity's destruction due to the cataclysm being wrought:

Also multiple times during that issue the word worlds were used and we see Infinity snatching up a Star System (A Sun with surrounding planets) etc. And 3 issues mentioned many times how extensive the damage to the Universe was and how all of the cosmos was in peril. Infinity had absorbed so many worlds and was doing it increasingly faster, everything from Asgard to Earth was suffering cataclysmic events as the death of the Universe approached.

For the record, I'd like to see a scan of Odin absorbing Infinity and getting a "power-boost" as well. Because in Thor #188, he blasts Infinity and destroys him in a single attack.

Not shown on panel but stated so in her bio.

Infinity was a sliver of abstract Infinity, how was it not in play when Odin absorbed it again?

WTF are you talking about? That's the official index of the issue, not a handbook.

And they stated that the planets are vanishing one by one.

When Odin restored the damage, he did it to world's ravaged, not galaxies.

"Galaxies fall" is a standard Stan Lee hyperbole never shown or repeated again.

Also multiple times during that issue the word worlds were used and we see Infinity snatching up a Star System (A Sun with surrounding planets) etc.

Yes, worlds. Not galaxies. It makes Odin below Guardians of the universe level who were stopping galactic level destruction and then restored entire universe (Stars and planets included).

Scan please. It doesn't matter (But I always ask with you being a known liar and everything) because you don't know when was this sliver reabsorbed or how long after do you?

Because we never saw him having it removed and we never saw him even absorbing the corrupted version of himself in the first place. It was destroyed in #188. Unless I'm missing something and if I am, scans would be appreciated. 🙂

What does that scan have anything to do with what I said? The scientists are observing parts of Infinity's destruction. I'm not arguing that Infinity wasn't absorbing worlds one by one. He was, but he was doing so at an increasingly alarming rate and not just planets but worlds (Aka systems etc.) to the point that the Universe was in danger of soon collapsing. Therefore, Odin restored a great deal more than just planets as the damage was Universal. This is further highlighted because the simply side effect of their fight destroyed Galaxies (Not the first time under Stan Lee mind you) and that wasn't nearly as ferocious as Infinity's constant feeding.

Odin does not usr external power sources unless explicitely announced, dependibg in the items and story.

He adds his power to artifacts, weapons, characters and even places. When he is seen using or holding items, while engaged in an actiin that requires more power, he is actually tapping into his own power source.

I forget where i read it, maybe one of u knows. But, a portiin of his power is fed directly into the 9 worlds. Which is y, at times in certain stories, such a big deal is made of him needing to take back some of his power from this or that. He is tied into everything.

It was in her bio in OHOTMU.

You are such a renowned debater, eh?

This is just laughable. Odin was intended to feeding on the sliver in that story only as a retcon.

Later writers ignored it as they do for most amps.

Can you prove Odin still has that sliver of Infinity in his power?

World's are suddenly solar systems. Makes sense.

He restored the planets one by one.

Key word, "Worlds", not galaxies.

There is no Galaxy destroyed. Are you talking about his fight with Foresung? There was no galaxy destroyed there either.
