Hard to say, as the feat is extremely meta. Evidently "Darkseid IS"... just about everything. Including the Overvoid. /shrug

What I am confident of, is that Darkseid will be > Perpetua at the very least(as prophesied back in Death Metal.)

I find that to be troubling

how is he gonna maintain his current status the rest of the series

darkseid is one of the main villain in dc, he's gonna have low feats sooner than later

Probably will be loads of build-up to hype his power, and will culminate in a lackluster finale.

That seems to be the algorithm these days.

Can't believe I never caught this. Hickman feels that Thor and Hulk can bench planets...

In context this reads like hyperbole. But this is the guy who wrote Hyperion holding apart two universes, so you never know.

All that quote says is that Captain America can’t bench press a planet.

There’s a difference between saying “Hulk is just as valuable as guys like Tony Stark and Reed Richards even if Hulk doesn’t have a 6-digit IQ” and saying “Tony Stark and Reed Richards have six digit IQs”

I think it means Black Widow can bench a planet.

huh, I thought it means that hawkeye's arrows can bench a planet via transitive property hawkeye can bench a planet

One of the issues with referencing writers for Marvel and DC is that they don't have any direct influence on the continuity. It's the editors that decide what's canon and not, with the ultimate arbiter being the editor-in-chief. Even the indirect influence of the writers (the publications) go through the editors.

I mean....Alan Moore is convinced John Constantine exists in real life, lol.

He's also convinced that he, himself, is a wizard. Which seems more like a reflection of his mental state than anything else.

But my point is, writers aren't licence owners. So they don't have interpretative prerogative, unlike say: manga writers, who keep their licence rights, and are therefore part of the decision-making process.

Am supporting your point. Writers can spout whatever they want, because ultimately, they don't own the property. If Hickman REALLY believed and wanted to show that Black Widow could benchpress a planet, he still has to go through the ultimate owners of BW's canon.

Thought this was hilarious. Thomas Wayne tossing Cap Carrot:

Is that AquaPr?

Thanos was severely damaged by a black hole.

I for one am glad Black Holes are getting respect lately.

OG Cable is back. Deadpool is immune to Jean's TP, but not TK:
Oh no.

Every Jean thread will now also be a quickdraw.

How much longer until someone calls out the name "Invisible woman" as being misogynistic, and demands a change?

Because the patriarchy never notices the invisible women?

I'm more surprised it worked on DP - now, anyone can just choke him out.

How does a hf even work on, say, drowning? Or being in a hard vaccume?
