wut....? guardian wouldn't last 1 second against a serious superman. luthor's armor (at least the more recent one, but even the classic) has let him battle superman 1 on 1 for prolonged periods of time. i'm down with an in-character superman losing here (though not after he's taken their measure in a best of 10) but guardian isn't slowing superman down....not unless he really doesn't care.

Regardless It goes against prior continuity and if it was actually Tanaraq why was he making Walter (who was in control) see friends as foes through illusions? Walter was in control enough he actually started to burst in tears of the one illusion of his friends getting killed

So yeah it was a Sasquatch possessed Walter, but not the real Tanaraq who was casting illusions on Walter. in the same story tanaraq was trapped in a cage in the realm of the beasts and was shown to be hundreds of feet tall

Lol alphaflight.net.I have visions of Mungi being the sole owner AND reader, and it being styled like a Geocities page. Maybe Evanescence playing as you click on links.
One can only dream.
It actually was pretty impressive site back in the day. as had a lot of marvel writers and artists posting there. Scott Kolins was great. Was similar to Bendis board jinxworld. There was even a thread where handbook writers were asking a bunch of questions and was the reason for a bunch of entry changes (questions about non AF related characters too). Now the board is a wasteland.

Even if it did, why would this not be a retcon? Everything in the story, and the handbook says he got possessed. Merely seeing illusions doesn't provide the actual intentions. Especially when Tantan was sucked out of him and put in the pouch which when taken away took away the Wrecking Crew's power and had the demons in a tizzy. And as I know what you'll say, we just saw Tanaraq get killed by Guardian and it had zero effect on Sasquatch. So them trapping him in a pouch by absorbing him from Sassy doesn't seem to take away his powers, just as killing him wouldn't (even though it should, but doesn't).
We've seen Tanaraq dead once when Walter was also "dead". We still saw Snowbird able to take this form (and lose to Hulk) which still allowed the potential for Tantan to take over. Plus she also turned Wanda back into Walt which gave him original body back with no real explanation of how this worked, and what this meant for Tanaraq. There's really nothing written in stones with how this works. If somebody wants to write anything for Walter, that seems to be the new canon.
We have only really ever seen the full possession once before, and even then we never saw Walter's point of view in that instance. Is it possible he was shafted away in another dimension? Yes. Is it possible he was still kicking around inside somewhere? I think so, and the rest of the team knew this looked familar and thought he was still in there.
It's possible to make sense, but at worst it's a retcon of the thing that happened once 20 years ago. By all intentions it was possession. Maybe had they not sucked him out like a hooker blowjob from Sasquatch that immediately changed his facial features you could argue it was only illusions. It seemed pretty obvious it was intended to be possession, the illusions didn't seem to come into effect in that story with why it wouldn't be posession.
At work but will make a formal reply off but quick glance I don’t think you read the original post that was debated. It was said that was actually Tanaraq in the flesh fighting Bill. No one is debating walter wasn’t possessed but it actually being Tanaraq in the flesh.

Tanaraq showed up in Omega Flight I think and looked pretty beastly there too.

My reply was saying that wasn’t Tanaraq. It was a possessed Walter which is drastically different then real tanaraq
Originally posted by -K-M-My issue is that this was intended to be of a different level than the conceivable level Sasquatch can obtain in threads when Tanaraq possesses him (unless you give him time), just because illusions were created.

Whether or not it's the full power of Tanaraq is a different discussion, which I'm sure could be argued that he needs 20 minutes to get to full power. All I'm saying is that he was intended to be the same level as the prior possession (even though was full Tanaraq), and even though it was written slightly different, it doesn't make it completely different in intention. Otherwise you have to start assigning random levels to the whole two times it happened and act like he wasn't giving his all.
Originally posted by -K-M-I'd say beat. Though I could see it being inconclusive. Either way she directly says Hulk overpowered a Great Beast indicating that she was operating at that same level.
Wait when did snowbird lose to hulk? If it’s during when I think that was mortal snowbird (weakened) and nor did hulk beat snowbird or come close to it
