Abraxas vs. Imperiex

Abraxas vs. Imperiex-Prime

How goes this?

i was never impressed by imperiex, at his best he destroyed 1 universe

abraxas should win

and how many universes did abraxas destroy?

the best feats i can remember for him are- eroding the dimensional barriers between universes, making uatu go blind, killing a bunch of alternate reeds, and killing a bunch of alternate galactuses off-panel.

Abraxas.

Thought Imperiex destroyed a Universe off panel?

imperiex destroyed the universe one planet at a time, one galaxy at a time, nothing impressive about it.

abraxas was only ablle to be erased by UN (which by itself is a multiversal destruction device), abraxas was stated to be more powerful than galactus and galactus by himself has multiversal feat at his best

dunno man, when the og galactus finally showed up, abraxas certainly didn't handwave him away. and when galactus casually snatched the un away from abraxas, there wasn't a damn thing he could do to stop it (he did scream out in pain though)-

not saying imperiex wins (though i am curious how abraxas would do against a shot of entropy), but i do feel like abraxas is very overrated in general if we're just talking about displayed feats.

Although technically it's not the exactly same as destroying a universe, but Imperiex did release the Big Bang energy instantly on panel

iirc, abraxas killed the mainstream galactus along with all the alternative versions

nah, abraxas was released following galactus's death in "the devourer" #6.

abraxas then killed a bunch of alternate galactuses off panel, but we know how weak those can be.

Does Imperiex Prime get all his machinery and probes? If so, does Abraxas get all his thralls? Not sure it makes a difference but might make your query easier to analyze.

Even if Abraxas destroyed no universes, wouldn't Abraxas passively blending the Marvel Multiverse together be more impressive than Imperiex actively, slowly, systematically hollowing out a single universe w/ his technology?

Haven't read the story in a while but this sounds right. 👆

Abraxas did also, with random nameless minions, disintegrate 616 Silver Surfer. On it's own, doesn't sound like much... but when you make obvious comparisons ala Anti-Monitor Shadow Demons... kinda speaks to Abaxas' scope.

This is true. But a clumsy comparison still kinda sets Abraxas apart.

Imperiex's defeat = Big Bang of a single universe. Abraxas' defeat = destruction/creation/altering of the Marvel Multiverse.

like i said, i'm not saying that imperiex wins here. just saying that as far as displayed feats are concerned, abraxas is overhyped.

og galactus showed up and confiscated the un from him, and there wasn't a damn thing he could do to stop it. you'd certainly think this alleged multiversal powerhouse would be able to resist galactus's attempt to snag the un and proceed to clap him effortlessly, but he didn't.

imperiex would be around the same level as fully fed galactus, universal in power

Exactly what cosmic beings have displayed feats that are properly hyped to you then?

Ignoring 616 Galactus' connection to Abraxas, I can appreciate this sort of criticism so long as you're consistent about it. So I mean, COIE Anti-Monitor got his sh1t kicked in by Supergirl, right? you'd certainly think this alleged multiversal powerhouse would be able to thwart Supergirl's attempt to destroy his machines and proceed to clap her effortlessly, but he didn't.

So???

Where have we come that Abraxas and Galactus and Antimonitor are considered unimpressive, and how did we get here?

Blame Kal-Qaeda.

I think this discussion, at least, is being done in good faith. There's arguments on both sides for challenging preconceptions.

Blame power creep. Unless you are casually destroying and creating multiverses, you don't impress us much.

Kinda seems the opposite. As I understand it, "power creep" is a result of subsequent characters just being portrayed as more and more powerful due to plot.

Like how Goku just kept coming up against more and more powerful characters that rendered a lot of previous characters irrelevant.

Marvel and DC seem to be the opposite in that they pull back on that. /shrug

wow ODG and juntai in the same thread? feels like 2010 👆 anyway the dark saintly one nailed it. and i'd take abraxas here as well.
