You're sure you're not making this one up...?

It's impossible to copy text with any sort of precision on an iPad in safari, but the Wolverine feat begins at Limited Series #4.

I've read the story myself, and was digging around the web for some scans, and stumbled onto Digi's post.

Too bad the images shacks are all broken.

Actually, this was an alternate universe Wolverine, so it may not have been full-strength adamantium, and it's likely Charnel's magics weakened it as well.

Charnal weakening is just speculation. I've read the story, and there's nothing that suggests it.

I already said it was an alt Wolverine, though, That's my point,. This is also an alt Dione, and alt cosmic beings he defeated, because every single instance of Time Travel in Marvel involves alt universes (As said via the Marvel website itself.)

No beef with you, then. I agree --- Old DIONE's feats are badass, but still non-616.

616 Logan gave DH II hell two times, afaik. Even chopping his arm off.

GDS Darkseid is also an alternate.

Yes, and no.

Yes, because he's technically pre crisis.

No, because DC has a different policy regarding time travel then Marvel. In Rock of Ages, when Kyle and other JLA members went to the future, that was the actual future. And when they changed history, they altered their universe.

Not so in Marvel. If, say, Thor visits the future where Dione takes over, he isn't visiting HIS universes future. He isn't going ahead in 616's timeline. Because according to Marvel, that's impossible... Instead, they go to a different UNIVERSE. Every change they make applies to that universe only.

DC style, future Dione would BE the present Dione. Marvel style, he's a Dione from a mirror universe.

That's why you can say Darkseid conquered the universe in Rock of Ages and be technically accurate, but can't say the same for Thanos or King Thor (I know people DO say that for Thor, and Thor even has memories of doing so, but it's technically inaccurate via Marvel's official policy.)

Questions.

Is GDS the future of today’s DCU?

Is DC 1 Million the future of today’s DCU?

Are you declaring Marvel Handbook designations as official policy?

Marvel’s future timelines function as what ifs
DCs timeline tends to make it those event in the future actually will happen unless you change it in the present. Zod taking over (a planet) in the future will happen. Now that Superman know, it up to him to change it. If he does, Zod taking over timeline still happens but it diverges from the main time line

That’s the way I see it.

1. Uncertain.

2. Possibly.

3. This policy is backed up by countless stories.

DC, of course, needs a way to reset the status quo in time events. Their answer is the concept of 'solid time" and "liquid time", relative to the "present".

Essentially, they can't change history via normally visiting the past (That takes a plot device like Dr. Manhattan.) The future, otoh, is always subject to change based on events in the present day.

So far, DC One Million has been referenced enough times where it probably still hasn't been retconned. At least, assuming All Star Supermans references and status as an "imaginary story" doesn't serve as a "soft retcon."

The Great Darkness Saga is trickier. When there were several offshoot timelines living in concert, I'd say no.

But with Superman merging together past history, and LOSH resurrecting a lot of old Levitz era stuff, it may very well have been re-established as "current history."

The fact DC does resets all the time, while Marvel tries to tie everything together since the silver age, kind of demands different solutions to time events.

So yes, you're injecting your own view in the issue where nothing like that is shown or stated.

Typical.
Maybe. But even CCR + mjolnir can't explain the discrepancy.

Well it appears that the latest issue proves you wrong.

Prove wrong about what? King Thanos got his ass kicked by surfer with mjolnir.

You argued that this is regular Surfer and you argued that this is the first battle between the two modern times. Wrong both times.

@Abhi and Hulkster. I think that the artistic team for the Thanos series are above their heads, as they were and still are unable to properly keep up with the plots narration.

This team has failed repeatedly to work the more important filler scenes into the view. For example we have no idea what Thanos did to Galactus. Because of this, the entire story leaves one wondering if they'd missed an epic portion of the story that was yanked out.

Abhi this is obviously a far more powerful version of the Surfer. He was able to blow through Ghost Rider like he wasn't even there, and the idea that it took two versions of Thanos to defeat him should be more than enough to prove that the Surfer is more powerful than Mjolnir alone would be able to grant him in terms of power. Going further back to Thanos being able to take assaults from a PF Avatar allows for us to believe that the younger Thanos alone has extreme amounts of power.

And where is it shown that it's not regular surfer with mjolnir?

Don’t they show that here?

Agreed.

In the comic. Shown and stated.
