He means the Source AKA The Hand. Theyve been called the same thing

Its his ****ing job to create universes carver, how do you think he does that?

We saw on panel that WF couldn't created Multiverses on a whim. It took special circumstances for that to happen. Leave this to ODG. Don't feel like debating with someone who types with their eyes closed.

We are talking about universes here carver, that's his job? You said he can't create universes?

How are you so stupid?

1.) Full power WF(pre-JL#25 conclusion): He created two full-scale multiverses(the original multiverse + the new/evolved multiverse that he planned on replacing it with.) He created the infinitude of Hypertime(and all associated timelines) within those multiverses. He created a cosmic "Recycle Bin"(in the form of the Dark Multiverse, which is orders of magnitude larger than the mainstream multiverse.) He created the infinities of universes that fell into the Dark Multiverse. He created a "pet"(ie. Barbatos) to endlessly consume those failed universes. And he created even some of DC's higher-dimensional planes(like the God Sphere, for example, which is also orders of magnitude larger than the mainstream multiverse.) Etc.

2.) Greatly diminished WF(post-JL#25): His powers were diminished as a result of downgrading himself to a 3D form, but he was still capable of creating entire universes with every swing of his hammer.

3.) Drained WF(JL#37): His powers had been further drained as a result of the merger with his Brothers. In this state he could no longer spark creation-level energies, and moreover, was SO weak that he could barely even lift his arms. However, he was still powerful enough to one-shot a planet that had been hurled at him by Perpetua(which was logically traveling massively FTL), and specifically open up a portal to mainstream earth in order to save the heroes.

No, no, he can't create universes or multiverses because that would make Superman knocking him out above anything carver's favourites have done, read the room galan, Sheesh.

How are you so stupid?

It's so irritating talking to you. The only reason, ONLY reason I mention multiverse is due to you bringing it up in the post I quoted. Your sentence "So despite the fact that Forger created an entire multiverse", so I responded to THIS comment since you brought up a multiverse. You then quote my reply with "We are talking about universes here carver". Do you not see why I don't want to debate with you? You call people stupid when your posting rebuttals seems like they came from a 6 year old. Just go away and leave this to someone else, please.

I addressed your salient questions with on-panel instances. They're facts. Once you're finished digesting those pointed rebuttals, we can move on to your ancillary propositions. I've got no issue with that. I will not, however, entertain you moving the goalposts every single time you are confronted with utter dismantling of your argument.

No. What you did was reiterate an embellishment (Franklin having future multiversal significance) whilst ignoring all the other points that not only debunked that claim, but highlighted the inconsistent and illogical nature of your doo-doo hierarchy. But you do you 🙂

Three times over, Franklin Richards heralds the Ninth Cosmos. Hickman, Waid and Ewing. If you haven't read Hickman's Fantastic Four, Waid's History of the Marvel Universe or Ewing's Immortal Hulk, that's on you, pal.

Ive read them all. But you name dropping titles this version of Franklin appeared in doesn't address the points i highlighted. Franklin potentially heralding the 9th cosmos holds no more significance than when Galactus did it in the 7th and 8th. Because thats what said titles state he could potentially become...a Galactus. 😬

Yay Multiversal Messiah! 🙄

Where does this alternate reality criticism come from? I didn't conflate all Franklin Richardses and throw him into my hierarchy. I specifically chose adult Franklin Richards. Whether he's an alternate reality version makes no difference. If you think he's a 8230 Franklin Richards, ok. So what? That's the one that's in my hierarchy.

It makes a difference because even in using Adult Franklin, youre amping him based on a potential role, not a role he actually currently has. Thats ludicrous. A role that the comics state he isnt essential to and one he can be swapped out of in favour of other beings such as Mr Immortal. In the Immortal Hulk series you name dropped (to no effect,) Franklin got murdered and so didnt even end up taking on the role at the end of time 😆

And what do you mean you didnt conflate the versions of Franklin Richards? In your previous post you literally just tried to justify this alternate future adult Franklins hierarchical placement by referring not only to his future potential role but also kid Franklins feats

Originally posted by ODG

Let's just forget that kid Franklin Richards literally molded the universes that comprised the Seventh Cosmos after Secret Wars.

It doesnt end there.....

The most recent reference to Adult Franklin was in Ewings future depiction in Immortal Hulk and he was stone cold dead by the end of time:

Yet Waids potential future glimpse had Franklin as alive and kicking at the end of time:

So Waids Franklin, isnt the same as Ewing's, yet youre lumping them together in your desperate attempt to lend validity to your hierarchy. These different Franklins just demonstrating how tenuous Franklin's position really is, yet youre out here amping him up like its a given.

But hey! Conflate away! 😱

Hypocrite clown

So when you're done twsting yourself up with your hypocrisy, let us know. 👆

Completely different circumstances. Within Endsong, 616 Jean Grey claimed Here Comes Tomorrow as her experience and relayed specific statements she made during her time in that future.

You on the other hand are taking an alternate future Franklin who has Galactus level showings at best and are boosting him in your wacky hierarchy to beyond IG levels based on revelations that he might become a new wait for it................Galactus! 😱

Then youre justifying this inflated position by referring to feats from a kid Franklin, as well conflating different alternate future versions of this Franklin into one? 💃 😆

One thing i had completely forgotten about until i looked back just now....In order to face the Mad Celestials and put on a Galactus level showing, Franklin 1st had to borrow power from his younger counterpart:

https://imgur.com/yuwMaqD

Plus as i stated previously, Franklin didnt reduce Galactus to a herald, he revived him by combining powers with him so that together they could achieve what neither could alone....take down a few Celestials

Franklin achieved this not through his power alone, but by taking the sum total of kid Franklins power that was gifted to him and then using this to revive and empower Galactus to help him take on a few Celestials:

The combined effort to take down the Celestials confirmed:

Franklin above the IG! 😱

The IG meanwhile:

Originally posted by Galan007
As mentioned, I am just talking about a versus setting here -- hierarchical relevance/significance is another discussion entirely. Galactus, for example, is also extremely cosmologically significant, but this does not preclude the notion that he can still be beaten by forces that are not as cosmologically relevant as himself.

That said, the heavy/overt implication is that in a versus setting, Franklin would have been unable to defeat three Mad Celestials by himself:
https://ibb.co/DpvB3V8
https://ibb.co/1ZCmvsJ

Do you think a competent IG-wielder would have a problem handling three Celestials? I don't. Heck, even in Hickman's run, we saw an alternate Reed momentarily tap into the power of an IG, which he then used to one-shot [at least] three Mad Celestials simultaneously:
https://ibb.co/c6DFksg
https://ibb.co/tJkmF6L

That showing alone puts the IG above Franklin by a considerable degree, imo(again, in a versus/battleboard capacity.)

Wackiness reigns 💃

As an aside, notice how in his hierarchy, the petty b*tch could not bring himself to include the Phoenix! 😆

I'm simply asking, what's the forger's basic job? Can he create universes or not since you think creating multiverse is beyond him despite him actually creating multiverse AND dark multiverse.

Its a simple question.

I personally don't think Celestials are universal...statements.

I agree. Individual Celestials on average aren't universal scale powers. They're Galactus level. With the most powerful of Celestials being between Galactus level and the Abstracts.

I think on hierarchy lists that when listing races, their placing should be a consideration of how powerful an average individual of their race is. Not how powerful they are en masse cos how would that be quantifiable?

A million hercs worth of energy can power new York for 10 years.

How many hercs was hulk in WBH? 🤔🤔🤔

This means that 1 herc is approximately 500 MWh. According to wolframalpha, it is about one half of the fuel energy of a full tank of an Airbus A330-300.

And this is why I dont use statements like creating universes, etc, as evidence of power levels. Especially if it's done off panel.

Its his job carvster, remind us again what was he created for?

So why isn't Injustice a Dark Multiverse? Seems like it should be.
