I put him there as a joke. Prime won't make it anywhere close to 10 anyway so Cap is safe.

What good is that stuff against someone who can alter any matter at will? Who can cross dimensions at will and can destroy the entire Universe? I'm talking about Full Powered Galactus. Seriously, I doubt prime gets past 2 or 3 on the list.

The ring can alter matter, the ring can pretty much do anything .... , also supes prime supposedly has 'the sword of superman' which puts him on equal basis with god. Their-fore he erases galactus from existence.

"On equal basis with god"? That's pushing it for sure. It would fail to erase Galactus just like Darkseids Omega beams did nothing to Galactus. Prime probably goes down against RKT and never even makes it to Galactus.

Superman Prime will go through all and kills Captain American, takes his suit and rearrange it to his since it has all the same colors.

And how powerful would that be? All we know of TOAA is its LTs boss and a power beyond the IG. TOAA has never been stated or shown to be Marvels supreme being.
Regardless this is all speculation. The connection between Superman Prime and the sword is vague at best. He doesnt conclusively possess it right?
On top of that his biggest on panel feat is nothing Galactus couldnt do. Thats all we have to go by. Hes a pointless character to feature in a versus match up.

Oh bull, it does not. One is a Marvel character and the other is a DC character. There's never been a crossover to prove that.

Nope he has it, its in the hall of artifacts in 1Million check it out, The sword is there and Morrison refers to it in the note of the original 100000.

UniOmni
Then that story is officially stupid!!! I saw the tpb at borders, but didn't notice it. If it was in the JLA 1Million hall of artifacts, then the whole premise of the book is glaringly stupid. Why didn't Superman 1Million wield it against Solaris?? For that matter, why didn't Prime use it to resurrect all the heroes killed by said villain over the years?? This is the book you people love to throw around?? A several issue blowjob to the Superman dynasty?? Now thats its been revealed to me that the sword was in their possession, that book is officially graded retarded. Period. The writers are idiots, and i could do better with a pen. No bs. Never mention that books name or characters again. The plot hole is that wide and stupid. Superman fans/fanboys.......Ya'll lost this time. True Story.
And for the record, all you who put Prime above nearly all other characters, look at his "feats" and then compare them to Precrisis Darkseid. Who still comes up higher?? Think on that one and see what you reveal. So, for the record Prime >>>> Not all

So did Superman Prime actually use it in his few appearances? Was it apart of his standard equipment in the same mould as Caps shield or Thors uru mallet?
On top of that how was the pictured sword referred to? Is it actually stated to be the very same sword as the one of old or is that merely suggested? A scan would help.

Don't have a scan taken from a post by Leo you can check against, I did because I thought the same as you.
from the annotations of the DC ONE MILLION 80-PAGE GIANT #1:
Items in the green display case left-to right: Blue Beetle's bug gadgets; a Starman Gravity Rod; Prometheus's helmet above a Parademon helmet; the now ubiquitous Professor Kirby's Dots; the Sword of Superman (refereed to in the text, from SUPERMAN (first series) ANNUAL #10); a Green Lantern power battery (possibly Alan Scott's); an unknown book (possible the Necronomicon); the Lord of Time's Anti-Hourglass (as mentioned by Superman M*); a small item between the Hourglass and the next item - just visible this is Professor Fortune's Badluck generator (see 69.1); and an unknown piece of technology.
on panel it is never stated that the sword is the sword of superman, but in the notes Morrison DOES refer to it as such.
Morrison also refers to it as such in a couple of interviews. Why Supes doesn't use it may be tied to the fact he struggled to put it down pre - crisis. Such power was not meant for men even Supermen - not yet

, he stated.
Glad I could help.

Thats still outrageously stupid. The reason he threw it away was because he wasn't ready for such power. After 15,000 years, still not ready ehh?? Plus, it contradicts Vertigo consistently. Lucifer is the chosen successor to the Presence. And we all know DCU and Vertigo share the same Crown beings

So Superman Prime has never ever used the Sword of Superman himself? Thats all i needed hear.

Superman has because the events of Precrisis were merged during Crisis hence he has the sword. It's confusing for youngsters who weren't around at the time and read crisis in isolation witout the tie ins.

Exactly but the fact he has it and its referenced means it's one of the ones that at least superficially still exist - capiche, thats how referencing in DCU works for Pre crisis. The fact it's referenced means at least some part of it i.e. the sword and Superman using it is still canon. Confusing but thats Pre and Post Crisis sadly.

Hmmm interesting.
So what did he do with the sword when he used it back in the Pre C days and how did he get it in the first place?

Wow, such anger in your post. Relax a bit.
Personally, I have a lot of the 1M series and I've NEVER seen the Sword of Superman in the book. Now there IS a sword from heaven shown quite clearly, but it belongs to Zauriel, not Superman, and like a GL ring it works on will and can cut through anything (even non-material beings.)
It's extremely powerful, but hardly a reality changer.
Sir Whirlysplat
It came to pass that, in the course of a great battle for Truth and Justice, man and sword finally came together. For the first time the sword allowed itself to be grasped by the hand of a man. Holding it, Superman found himself expanding, spreading across the winds of the universe, the whole history of creation flooding his mind. His consciousness expanded, he was becoming an all-seeing, all knowing Protector. Then he let it go.
"You have done well, my son. You have earned your name. Your future is yours to make. Your greatness among living things is assured." This message was left in his head.

Nope he felt himself becoming the supreme being being able to control everything. He then throws it away to retrieve it later, which he obviously does as it's in the cabinet. He is told by the voice of the prescence the wielder becomes the supreme being. He doesn't want that at this stage. With it he beats all.

Before i get hold of that issue in minutes lets just clarify. No speculation or extrapolation is it actually stated that he either became or levelled with the supreme being when wielding the sword or just that his senses expanded and he could control everything?
Is it stated that the voice belongs to DC's supreme being or is that an assumption?
leonidas
it depends on how powerful you feel solaris was. we can infer from what he'd done that he was . . . pretty damn powerful, killing hundreds of supermen with imp-esque abilities. supes 1000000 was able to PUNCH (while weakened) through time! and he was less than nothing to solaris. i happen to believe solaris was MASSIVELY powerful, so the fact that prime crushed him effortlessly speaks to me of prime's VERY high level of power.
but . . . any true gauge of his power is hypothetical. funny enough, so is full power galactus! one hypothetical power v another. could prime destroy the universe? i don't know, but probably not. however he DID have many powers we were never privvy to so one could speculate that it's possible.
if he had the sword he would easily wipe out this gaunlet. oh, and btw, i'm almost positive that morrison put the sword in the case for no other reason than to piss off the geeks in these forums!

I couldnt find anything like that stated. Thats all assumption, extrapolation based on whats actually there. The sword expanded his senses he became omniscient but far from on a par with Dcs supreme being and its not stated that the voice was the Presences. Come on i thought JLAKMC was all about putting an end to this type of thing.

He wasnt really in the issue at all, nothing really happened in the issue it was just a scene setter. At the end Apocalypses modern day (well Victorian cos thats when its set) descendants wake him up to save mutantkind from Dracula and his minions. There was a flashback however at the beginning where War takes out Vlad(pre Dracula) on the battlefield. Buy it if youre an apocalypse fan. If youre just mildly interested in the character then going just by the first issue i cant recommend the series yet.
Mider
nah im interested in good showings not this jobbocaypse they have been shoving down peoples throats wanna see the apocaypse who beat exodus, mags, was beating loki, stalemated high evolutionary, beat hulk, laughed off black bolts scream. i mean dieing by a black bolt whisper thats just an insult it really is.
Mider
ummm i know who wins between drac and apoc :P but i cant tell i think
Diunic
To tell you the truth Apocalipses is just the first mutant, he good but not that powerful. Certainly he's nowhere near Loki level of power.

rereading the issue, the allusions are pretty clear, but you're right -- there is no on-panel evidence saying it was the supreme being that spoke to superman. the description of what was happening to him was reminiscent (to me) of thanos when he retrieved the hotu though -- he basically was in the process of becoming one with the universe. the mention of genesis and the big bang at the start, and the words 'let there be light' -- spoken of course by god in the bible, all allude to the fact that the voice supes heard was likely meant to be interpretted as the voice of god.
but, as that was the sword's only appearance, and he really didn't even use it for anything, it's tough to get too carried away by it. i'd forgotten how sily some of those old stories could seem!

You stated it was the Presences voice and said that Superman became on a level with God. It being stated that Supes became one with everything was good enough for you to come to that conclusion. It wasnt until Leonidas pointed out exactly what was stated and my subsequent highlighting of your extrapolation that you backtracked and said basically oh i can say that because its as good an argument as your past Phoenix ones were.

I guess you had to read it in 1984 the time it was written

We didn't analyse Gods voice then.

Regardless, it was extrapolation, the God connection was a conclusion you were quite happy to go along with based merely on Supes being one with everything. Hmmm that line sounds awfully familiar
The comic said Supes was spoken to by an unseen voice and he felt himself becoming one with everything thats the sum total of your evidence for a god connection. Better than my Phoenix argument?
Lets forget all of that anyway, in both cases its not canon. However this was a very interesting exercise. Thank you Whirly

Yes but in 1984 All powerful meant all powerful more literally, remember this was pre crisis when Supes was already "all powerful".
Yes we have shown the sword really was pretty special.

leonidas
well, i'm glad this whole jla thing has brought us together so nicely . . .
as usualy though, you are both right. in the 80's the sword probably WAS meant to show exactly what whirly is saying, and if it were brought back, it probably would be awesome!
and gs is right - there is nothing explicitly stating . . . anything really, other than supes was in the process of becoming one with the universe. genesis, 'let there be light', 'my son,' all ARE obvious allusions to god, without ever invoking his/its name. it does remind me a bit of old school gs (with whirly -- and i KNOW the irony is not lost on him!! -- playing the part of gs!), extrapolating based on allusions and circumstantial evidence.
asking for on-panel evidence however is a good way to end many debates . . .
and gs, WERE you born in 1984??? please tell me you were at LEAST born!!!!!!!!!

as usualy though, you are both right. in the 80's the sword probably WAS meant to show exactly what whirly is saying, and if it were brought back, it probably would be awesome!
and gs is right - there is nothing explicitly stating . . . anything really, other than supes was in the process of becoming one with the universe. genesis, 'let there be light', 'my son,' all ARE obvious allusions to god, without ever invoking his/its name. it does remind me a bit of old school gs (with whirly -- and i KNOW the irony is not lost on him!! -- playing the part of gs!), extrapolating based on allusions and circumstantial evidence.
asking for on-panel evidence however is a good way to end many debates . . .
and gs, WERE you born in 1984??? please tell me you were at LEAST born!!!!!!!!!
Nope he wasn't born then
he's just a kid

Altering how people feel about Supes is not reality warping.
Not in the conventional sense not in the Scarlet Witch, Franklin Richards mould people in the past claimed for the sword.
By your logic Purple Man is a reality warper
No matter. Still an interesting exercise. Thank heavens for good ole Leo.

He agreed that was probably the writers intentions something i dont disagree with. Just like you didnt dispute a god connection with Phoenix but instead its canon status.

So purple mans a reality warper in the same sense that was claimed for the sword? Theres a difference between changing how we can perceive things and changing whats actually there to be perceived.

Agreed that's the basics of Metaphysics so by altering how someone percieves reality they are altering reality.
Thank you Demi

Consider it what you will. Whether thats the reality of the situation is down to beholder.
So i guess Purple mans a reality warper in the same sense as was claimed for the sword. I guess any old telepath is a reality warper in the same sense as well?

So they're reality warpers in a sense however if their power was categorised in a handbook they would hardly be called reality warpers would they?
They and Supes feats are a change in an individuals perception of their surroundings and not an alteration of actuality itself in a Franklin Richards mould. Cool.

Whirly is being difficult. He knows damn good and well the difference between reality and one's perception of reality, especially when there's a clear divorce between the two. Don't you, Whirly?

Well Reality is always subjective Demi do you see the same thing as the colour red as I do we both know it's red but is my red your red and which is the real red.
The act of observation by its nature affects reality itself, this though is a slightly different argument.

So to sum it up theres no canon god connection for the sword, it only expanded his consciousness and while holding the sword Supes could alter others perceptions of reality. Cool.

Its more or less agreed here that no god connection exists in canon. Let it go mate.

Ohhh the irony.
Its quite an open and shut case really as other members of the clan have commented.
No conclusive on panel evidence with regards to a god connection
And a quite apparent difference between ones perception of reality and reality itself as is the case with comics which i believe is the subject matter right?
Cool.

The first part of your post has been addressed elsewhere and is irrelevant, moving on what you fail to understand is reality leaves a lot to the imagination and it is this paradox that you miss. I could give you a list of reading material to help you understand. Actually though your posting is altering my reality a bit because it reminds me of a seance and your posts a bit like the level of reality a medium conveys contacting the dead.
I leave you with a thought what does "losing your grip on reality mean", because if I have to read another post as simplistic as the last from you I fear this could happen to me from sheer boredom.

Your mistake is focusing too much on real world theories which is a naive thing to do when the subject matter is comics. As ive said previously and as Demi chimed in and supported me on, in comics theres a clear line between ones perceptions of reality and actuality itself. Thats the crux of the matter.
The phrase losing your grip on reality is my case in point. Its often used to describe someone going mad, someone falling victim to delusions and slowly being distanced from reality. Their personal perception of reality changes whilst reality itself is unaffected. A clear line between the two.

unfortunately it appears it was MY perception of reality that was askew . . .

cool and kind of makes sense
