Sentry and Thor are dead. Dylans power comes from that god of light, but it can't break through Knulls shield of darkness. And now Silver Surfer will try to break the dome and let it in in order to increase Dylans strength.

With all of that being established: I think that light-thingy will be something very specific. Using heat vision would most likely never do the trick. Thor has harmed every powerful being and their mother with his lightning: From Death Seed Sentry, over Galactus, all the way up to the Chaos King. He has been jobbing a lot in the last few years, but in the end of the day Thor remains an insanely powerful character. And if his lightning doesn't just turn Knull into crispy chicken wings, then neither would Supermans heat vision. Especially because Supermans heat vision drains him of his power – quickly.

I'm still not seeing Superman coming even close to defeating Knull. Knull killed Celestials. Sentry. Absorbed the Void. Killed an amped Thor. What's Superman going to do to someone like that?


Abc logic is invalid if it is not relevant. Knull killing Celestials has no bearing on fighting Superman.
1. Knull doesn't have that item anymore
2. Celestials aren't as fast as Superman.
3. Never seen Knull take an astronomical punch.

The Sentry fight was shitty. All Knull did was prove that hes physically strong (nowhere as near as strong as Superman since breaking those chains are astronomically more than pulling Sentry apart). Plus the fight has context. Sentry was robbed of Void (a major part of his power).

Bottomline: A character max durability and strength in a forum fight is the greatest durability feat they have in comics. That means Knull can be koed against planetary level punches and above.

That means Knull isnt anywhere as strong as Superman.

That means Superman can statue Knull at any time he wants.

h1a8, my dear son. Son. Did you just honestly state that Knull killing Abstract level beings has no bearing on Superman? Please, son. I thought I taught you better.

His sword? He just pulled his sword out of his ass to defeat Thor. So yes, he has it.

Son, please. Don't make daddy get his belt.

I already told you once. Such cosmic characters are beyond speed. They don't need to run across the Earth real fast in order to be noticed by you, senpai. They perform billions of actions during what others perceive as a single attack.
And that's not just on the physical level. They probably fight on the mental level, the emotional level and the fuvk-your-Kryptonian-powers-level.

Son. I'm just gonna pretend you didn't even write that nonsense.

More garbage.

1. Hyperion held two universes apart. That feat craps at everything Superman has ever done. And Hyperion is below the Sentry in pretty much everything.
2. Well, Sentry kinda got killed, before Knull absorbed half of him. To me it's more likely that Sentry can't regenerate anymore, since half of him is missing – than him losing being related to Knull doing something to his Void-part beforehand.

You're like an actual, literal idiot. Thor destroys planets and nearby moons, when he goes all out. And an amped Thor hitting Knull resulted in Knulls jaw being ripped off. Knull immediately regenerated and took care of Thor.

If we went with your dumb ass logic, then Superman would turn the Presence into a statue and KO him / her / whatever.

Is that THE Necrosword then? I thought at the current time, Gorr has it somewhere....

Why is hyperion being brought up lol

Because he held two EARTHS apart that were being pushed by two UNIVERSES. He displayed PLANETARY + levels of strength and durability. Holding them apart until the planets gave way.

I guess everyone is still going with universes though.

But he isn't in the thread.

Thats just how strong he is. Busted right in this mfer

Nah, he held two universes apart. Confirmed by the writer of the story and confirmed on panel. You're just projecting your own false opinion, because what you see are two worlds – but ignore that those two worlds are being pushed by two universes. They compare it to an island with the Earth being the island. If you push the Earth by pressing against the island, you're ultimately still pushing the Earth and not the island.

He is in the thread, because h1a8 is trying to make an argument for Superman by stating that Superman has galaxy level strength. And I'm saying that Hyperion has universal level strengths and is still at least one entire tier below the Sentry.

Rogue had the power of Hyperion, Hulk, Blue Marvel and other physical power houses and the Sentry still mirrored all of that physical power. And Sentry still got defeated by Knull. Knull > Sentry > Hyperion > Superman.

Please refrain from the dreaded ios apostrophe. I can't quote you properly.

The Celestials that Knull fought were not as fast as Superman can be. They were slow as shit as in all of their appearances (except the one you posted). So that scan means absolutely nothing.

I didn't read the Thor fight (must just happened). Are you sure that's the same sword that killed the Celestials (the Necrosword)?

Before I go any further, let me make something clear. If you disagree with what I'm about to say then let's discuss that and leave this debate on hold.
Here goes.

You can't use a characters highest showings as the same level they were operating at in any and every other scene. Characters have highs and lows. This is fiction, not real life. Thor has good strength feats but when he fights most of the time, he is nowhere near as strong (or is using as much force) as his highest showings. Otherwise, everytime Gladiator punched someone then it was with planet busting force. Now in a forum fight, Thor is as strong as was shown at his best. But not in a comic.

With that said, give Knull feats of blunt force resistance. Give Knull feats of fighting speed and reflexes.

Hyperion didn't hold two Universes apart. He held two planets apart for a slight moment until the planets shattered. Basically he supplied the force capable of shattering planets. Imagine, two strong men coming toward each other slowly with an egg each and with full strength, attempting to press and smash the eggs together. You jump in-between them and push each egg away until both eggs shatter. Did you defeat the force of either man? Or did you simply supply the force capable of breaking two eggs?

Also, even if the planets were indestructible and Hyperion managed to hold them apart then still how much force was that? The planets could have been pushed with 1 ton of force for all we know. You know the universe is pushing shit right now as it expands? So if you stop something in space did you exert more than 1 billion tons of force?

Sentry has always been kinda squishy. You have him melting in a star, IM busting his nose, etc. In all honesty, I'm not impressed by someone pulling him apart. And even so, that feat is not even close to what Superman has done with the chains.

P.S. The presense is an abstract being (not material or made of matter). Your example fails.

Point 5 still seems to be in effect. Light seems to hurt Knull.

he also just had his jaw broken by Thor. If Thor kept on the offensive instead of turning around in the middle of the fight who know how much damage he would have done to Knull with his lightening based attacks.

Which one is that? ' or "? I used to have and use both on Windows as well.

You can't just disregard stuff you don't like. Fact is that cosmic beings like the Celestials are beyond such a simple concept like speed.
How often has Superman went "intangible" with his super speed? Once? You'd still give it to him as his base ability. Stop being biased towards one side.

Yep. Also called the All-Black:

Knull pulled it out of his back and stabbed Thor with it in "King in Black #3". So it seems to be standard gear for him.

But... you're doing exactly the same with Superman? In your opinion everyone is a statue to Superman, even though he has been bitchslapped by Mongul more than once. In your opinion no one comes close to Superman in strength, because hurrdurr chains and galaxies.

And then when someone does the same for other characters – and with feats, which take a huge dump on anything Superman has ever done... You immediately start crying and talking about highs and lows. Get your double standards sorted out.

Gimme feats of Superman killing someone on the level of an abstract Celestial. Gimme feats of Superman killing an actual immortal being like the Sentry.

I'm not even going to respond to your egg nonsense. You can stand on eggs. You can try to squeeze an egg in your hand and you will fail, if you grab it in the correct way. Which is not my argument against your stupid argument – just a Flash Enzeru Fact.

And yes, Hyperion held two universes apart:
https://i.imgur.com/uI2ERFX.jpeg

"He is literally pushing an entire universe hidden from us."

The Earths were being pushed by the Incursion, which was the universe. Captain America was using the Infinity Gauntlet to push the entire universe back. Hyperion was physically holding two universes back, until the worlds collapsed under the pressure and the universes exploded. Don't like it? That's too bad. But let's not start talking about Kryptonian "stars", which only weigh as much as a star, but don't have its brightness, heat or gravitational pull, because "hurrr durrr, it's comics bro, not everything has to make sense."

Now matter how you turn and twist it: Hyperion was pushing back against the force of two universes. And the survived their explosion, which was also confirmed by the writer:

Nothing Superman has ever done comes even close to that. And Hyperion isn't even the top dog in Marvel. That spot goes to the Sentry. And Sentry got ripped apart by Knull like yesterdays newspaper.

Sentrys power scales with his mental stability. He was pretty damn unstable during the World War Hulk arc and he was eating Hulks punches, smiling and asking for more. Pretty durable at his lowest, if you ask me.

Other than that, who has ever truly taken care of the Sentry? You say the sun. Well, Sentry flew into the sun with the intention to kill himself. Looks like he can lower his durability enough to get himself burnt down to a single atom in the sun, but he can't prevent from regenerating back to normal – until he is fully restored, where he then lets himself get killed again.

What else? The Molecule Man? It's the Molecule Man. The Molecule Man would do the same to Superman and Superman wouldn't come back from that.
What else? Morgana Le Fay? She traveled back to his past and killed him as a child, where he didn't have his power. He still came back.

And Knull was somehow able to still kill the Sentry and prevent him from regenerating. That in itself is an absolutely insane, cosmic, abstract level feat.

I just hope for your own sake that you don't truly believe Superman could ever possibly rip the Sentry in half.

Knull has been a disappointment so far

Lol the crybaby bringing the hyperion crap here. He held worlds apart. Not universes. It doesn’t matter what you want to believe, in the comic it was clear cut and stated as worlds.

he can be harmed but so far it doesn’t appear that he can be killed. He will get erased by a multiverse obliterating punch.

Where does Hickman say anything about holding two universes apart?

He responds in a vague non confirming way to a fan who said that.

Universes were coming towards him, he made contact with the two universes by way of the earths of each universe being moved along. The earths broke apart and then the universes collided.

He literally did nothing but hold two earths back until they broke from the pressure.

Now if the earths were literally meant to have universe level weight that would mean something, but that's not stated anywhere.

Also, breaking SoulFire Darkseid in half shits on ripping Sentry in half.

lol I heard Hyperion got defeated by shang chi this week, lmao

Did Sentry and Hickman's Hyperion even interact? Lol, I don't recall so.

Not sure yet

All of Knull's fights have been..meh or off screen
Celestials? Off Screen
Most of Earth's hero? off screen
Sentry? Hax and clear advantage based on who Sentry is
Thor? It was clear that Knull would win but he still had to resort to backstabbing

So until i see more, i dont think it's a clear winning. Superman is legit the god of sun in DC. If Marvel gave that much respect to god of thunder, i'd assume that Superman would do better than Thor.

I want to see how Knull gets defeated. Right now, he had a lot of off-screen showings and prep work that makes him look strong. Lets wait and see because end of the day, Suffer still defeated him

surfer didn't defeat him, surfer survived the encounter with him
