Discuss. 🙂

lol

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that behind these types of comics, there's always somebody like this:

Feels we are back to the Pre-Crises era with how DC is handling Perpetua and Dr. Manhattan simultaneously.

Still can’t believe they made darkseid and the new gods do this...

Is this even canon?

😆

was flipping through mxy stories, remember Ultimator the 10th dimensional monster that manifestate past present future and all possibilities of DC reality ?
the one who got bfred by Mxy and trapped in dream's realm slept for eternity

well he was real, ultimator is actually not made up, supported by this scan

also this reddit pic of DC cosmic hierarchy was cool. They did forget Original Ion, ZH Parallax, Nabu, Shazam and many others
but most of the major players was mentioend

The problem with this now, though, is that DC(and even Mxy himself) is currently touting the 6th dimension as the highest possible dimension -- truly the ultimate and most 'meta' dimension in existence:

However, not only was Ultimator the personification of the 10th dimension, but she implied that she'd already devoured dimensions 9-6 prior to appearing in the 5th dimension:

"It is my destiny to ingest all other dimensions and lifeforms -- to make them part of myself. Four dimensions have already fallen to me -- yours shall be the fifth!"

And then Mxy beat her with his 5D shenanigans, implying that he is > dimensions 6-10... Which probably doesn't hold much merit now.

Especially since Imps were previously able access the 6th dimension with absolutely no problem(this is pre-Snyder, obviously):

We've even seen beings from the 6th dimension on panel(ie. the Cathexis):

Their tech was fairly impressive, but certainly not something that would give the majority of DC's 'great powers' much pause, imo(especially with how they were ultimately beaten.)

Hell, Mxy himself used to pop-into the 7th dimension on occasion:

So yeah, quite a bit has changed with DC's higher-dimensional infrastructure now.

What is this guy's powers? Looks like a cross between Midnighter & Bane. And his name is Good Night? lol very original

damn almost forgot about this
Wish DC stop contradict themselves so much. I say the concept of 6th dimension =beyond imagination is interesting, the multiversal control room is a good idea if done right. But to use it just to control the multiverse is cheesy.

Snyder likes to come up with his own concept and want everyone else built theirs around his. But he usually doesn't establish it in detail well enough and then just jump into another one, same with dark multiverse. He needs a continuity buff to connect his own concepts well together with the already established cosmic hierarchy, keep him in check

Not much is known about him right now, but he beat the absolutely christ out of DP as though he was some talentless feeb.

I wonder what Wade did to him when he was a kid.

Galan, improve your editing speed

I like the concept of the 6th dimension for sure... But I also liked the concept of the Dark Multiverse/Barbatos until Snyder f*cked it up, so we'll see.

Yeah, Snyder definitely needs to collaborate with someone who knows more about how to properly write large-scale cosmic characters/events than he does... There's a reason why The Wild Hunt was arguably the best individual issue of Metal, after all:

....😗

Poor R. Kelly.

Is he going to real prison? Or the celebrity prison Martha Stewart stayed at?

Even in Morrison's new cosmology there were evidently more than 6 dimensions, as Quantum Superman referenced being able to perceive at least 8 dimensions:

So yeah, Snyder is retooling quite a bit of cosmology here. Fingers crossed it's all for the better. /shrug

😂

Mark Waid also had beings from the 6th dimension [iirc] around JLA 50+ish [I think right before Terror Incognita].

Suffice to say, they were underwhelming.

I never liked there being above 5th dimensions - specifically when the 5th is literally imagination [i.e. omnipotence]. Or, at the very least, there's 5 'comic book' dimensions [i.e. the 5th gets in meta [mxy], and you can get Cosmic Armor/Mandrakk starting around there], and there multiple 'in-Universe' dimensions [i.e. random beings who can "grant wishes" or whatever bullshit]
