Sorry I have been away for a bit.
Let me get to various posts in order:
This is kinda why you should read more comics. In that storyline, Mxy tells of how he's been infusing Superman with 6D energy - on top of watching over him as his guardian angel - for years.Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the 6D energy is what gives him infinite strength or whatever. I'm saying that there is precedence for a reality warping 5 D imp - the most powerful warper in DC, if not comics (I'll let others debate that) - literally giving energy to Superman, over the course of years.
Now if you need something to help you understand how Superman can do what he does, then you can use that.
I've heard 5d protection used as an argument for how he can resist the Omega Effect and other exotic powers, but I don't think that justifies literally infinite strength as a legit showing.
But yes, I have a feat. Wally is faster than sound, faster than light, faster than thought, faster than the Speed Force, lol.
Okay but that's a speed feat, I am looking for feats of physical strength/power. Maybe we can use that one if we make another thread like this for speed feats.
Superman punches his way out of Vandal's weaponized Hypertime never-ending time loopI'm really curious about how this will be ranked
*snip*
That's really cool, as it's a callback to the Golden Age which I've been reading recently.
Anyway, from what I can understand here, it seems that Vandal Savage tried to send him back in time to a different timeline/section of hypertime, where he had his early Golden Age powers only, but still had his modern memory. Also, he had a vague memory of the Golden Age era (because all of DC's history had been reintegrated probably), but he considered that memory impossible and incongruent with the history he knows. He also says that the era he was sent to was an illusion (although I think that's not literal as it certainly seemed to be physically real). Then it looks like he went to the Silver Age, and then fought alternate versions of himself, and finally managed to break through time back to the current timeline. Changing into multiple different versions of himself as he returned also reminded me of his fight against Dominus way back. In the end he said that every timeline lead to his present... so it's hard to interpret. I'd definitely rank it below SBP's feat, since he didn't destroy those universes/timelines, though, just escaped from them.
As I have pointed out, as Darksaint has pointed out [repeatedly] -- you're missing the point here, if your criteria [new, because of course] is that the feat is too high to justify them struggling in other comics, by the same criteria, you'd have to ignore most of the feats from Flash, Superman, and various other comic book characters, infinite or not. You're drawing self-serving imaginary lines where you clutch your pearls and close your eyes for the validity of the feats because it contradicts your pre-conceived notion of the characters, and not only that -- but it defeats the purpose of your own thread, where you want the best showings, even outliers. As I said -- call them outliers, fine. I'd agree with you, of course. But stop putting your own biases in front to dismiss the capabilities of certain characters.
Like I said, I can remove the asterisks if you think they're too editorializing.
And you're still having the feats on the list, and still without any kind of asteriks? Expected, but still.Well then, Mike..
If you think I accept it as a legitimate, non-outlier feat for the Hulk, I've already said that I don't.
So tell me Mike, how long does it take the speed of light to illuminate a galaxy? Thousands of years? How about a Solar System? How about a ray of light just from Earth to the sun? 8 minutes? That's a lot, compared to it. Just from Earth to our nearest planet, it is 3 minutes. And that is STILL a lot more than the sequence here.And yet, the cosmos is illuminated in moments.
Seems a fair argument, except I recall a very similar feat where Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange, and a few other characters created a combined blast that illuminated everything out to the far ends of Dormammu's Dark Dimension in moments, and the Dark Dimension was explicitly stated to be as large as the 616 universe. So we know that some funky dimensional physics are going on in many of Marvel's alternate dimensions. (Yes, you could use this same argument to claim that the feat itself is less impressive because of different physics, but I never said you couldn't).
@Parmaniac: What character is that holding the star?
So, where are all the planets and the stars?
There aren't any. Not every dimension has to have one. This one was just a dark void with floating rocks. That doesn't say anything about its size, though. The Quantum Zone is another dimension with no planets or stars, just energy, and it's at least as large as 616.
Its not even a planetary feat, you know why? Because there were no planets in the pocket dimension, just a few floating islands.
The dimension's contents have nothing to do with its size. It could have had only grains of sand in it but still been billions of light-years in diameter. Philosophia provided the only real argument against it size, that is the propagation speeds of light and sound, but as I pointed out, in various alternate dimensions in Marvel those can work oddly.
