The LT with the backing of the TOAA vs. The Classic Beyonder

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



fangirl101
Since it's Lt's job to guard the marvel omniverse, and the beyonder discovers the Marvel Universe today, would the LT have the power to stop the Classic Beyonder? As if the LT had never met the Classic beyonder and he never shook in his boots. If they had to have a confrontation and god says to the Lt, I give you all authority to protect my crib, could the LT do it?

Harbinger
Does this mean that LT is given additional power by the TOAA or simply that it's the LT's job to protect the Omniverse? If it's the latter, isn't your post redundant given that the LT's job is to protect the Omniverse?

Mindset
Umm LT is not like the Spectre...

The LT is already given ALL power by The One above all to protect the Omniverse. So it's his job to do so. Would he be able to protect the Omniverse from the classic beyonder given that he is the Omniversal Protector and the One above all gives him an edict to do so.

if LT has the support of his/its boss...TOAA ..than i guess whatever power is needed is given.....

guy222
good thread, friend

toaa is lt boss

unlike dc, where the presence empowers spectre

if toaa wanted lt to defeat the beyonder, in theory...yes

beyonder falls

lannfear
thats right its all hypothetical.....its about comic characters...not real...although the way some people carry on ..you'd think that they are real...

If you mean The-One-Above-All as a fictional character, within the omniverse. Then It's a stalemate, basically God (-before genesis) vs God.
The Living Tribunal is a non-factor.

Dark-Jaxx
Beyonder swells the TOAA's lip.

Unnatural-POWER
TOAA would have to grant LT ALL his power just to stalemate
Classic Beyonder IMO.

Supreme being vs Supreme being ......... Stalemate!

The LT of today would get curbstomped.
just like the old one would've got stomped.

Btw. The LT is NOT the guardian, he is the Judge!

The LT of today is not TOAA.

The LT is the LT with a set power,
a power Protege copied,
a power Scathan may equal.

................................................................................

Toaa/God withIN the Omniverse of today. (THOTI)
would stalemate Beyonder.

Because they are BOTH backed by Writers. (Jim Shooter and Jim Starlin)

The artist of "The End: Marvel" ... is Al Milgrom

The artist of "Secret Wars II" ... is Al Milgrom.


So, what's the difference?

Jim Shooter was both writer and Editor in-Chief of all Marvel.

Does this give Beyonder the edge?

Meh, not necessarily imo.

Stalemate!

celestialdemon
Stalemate, but it's a pointless thread. Aunt May with backing of TOAA would stalemate Classic Beyonder also.

golem370
Beyonder is TOAA lol

Utrigita
If the writer (TOAA) want LT to win (giving him full backing) then yes he would win against Beyonder.

But as Celestialdemon said Aunt May with full backing could win (ore was it stalemate?)

But both writers would have to agree that Beyonder loses,
otherwise, that scenario can't be accepted.

Beyonder was the supreme power according to Shooter. (all Marvel)

Toaa/THOTI is now the supreme power, according to Starlin. (all Marvel)

This match is senseless because it brings into opposition the Writers themselves.

We can't just say, if the LT had TOAA's backing he wins,
because according to Shooter, Beyonder dominated the Marvelverse,
and if that was TOAA's creation, we'll then there you go with that drop of water.

On the other hand,
was the Beyonder a/the precursor to what TOAA is?

(after all, we never heard of Toaa) if anything the LT was like "God" back then.

..................................................................................

Earliest official mention of a power above the LT's
was in 1990 I believe:

..................................................................................

The Living Tribunal is said "his Power is Supreme in ALL the Multiverse"

"Even I, the Son of the mighiest of gods of all,
find it impossible to conceive of such levels of power"

Is that from Thor? Because he kinda compared Odin and Galactus :/

guy222
it is

Then don't use it as evidence Master :/

Because it's Thor's ramblings.

guy222
It seems like a good scan, good friend

I have no problem with ppl using Thanos w/HOTI or Beyonder(Pre Retcon)

Beyonder was the all for a short time('82-85) Shooter abused his power and was ganged up on. Hence the many retcons. Beyonder was the TOAA in '82. Kinda funny because when LT appeared in Strange Tales #158...He was the man

In theory, if TOAA wants LT to win. IMO, he will.

The only one that had to accept the fact would in reality be the Chief Editor, to my knowlegde Shooter wasn't asked when Beyonder was retconned practically into nothingness in comparison to what he was before they just did it, furthermore master, Fangirl101 asked what would happen IF Beyonder found the Marvel Omniverse today ( the Beyonder hadn't existed prior but was introduced with the same power) then the Writer could effectivly write LT to defeat the Beyonder since that beyonder that would be used would be the creation of the current writer and not Shooters, hence the current writer can write the story pretty much as he likes. That includes writing LT to be above him. This isn't fact based it's from my point of view strictly theory.

In the real world yes.

From a fictionel standpoint the writers however are God.

Shooter wasn't asked because Shooter wasn't Editor in-Chief.

Shooter left that position in 1987.

Beyonder was retconned in 1988.

Well, of course Beyonder loses in that heavily stipulated scenario.

That's spite in fact.

Evidence?

I was only showing the earliest acknowledgement of a power above the LT on panel.

Ramblings?

He didn't compare Odin to Celestials,
in fact,
he clearly says that Odin empowered by all Asgard/destroyer armor, still got stomped.

The LT is the Supreme entity, and there is only one above him.


Doesn't seem like rambling to me,
quite precise in fact. smile

Hence Shooters opinion on whether ore not his Character should be beaten today by LT would be meaningless, it's all up to the Chief Editor to decide if he wants that outcome. If Shooter was asked it would be out of politeness not because he has a real influence on the subject.

Compared Odin to GALACTUS not Celestials.

Utrigita
Does he say that on that page?

Because Galactus by Kubiks account is regarded to operate on a higher level then the Celestials.

But there is a difference between thor and kubik...

Darn, the rest of that page, is not in my mind right now so I can find it,
but if he said that, let's hope he was talking about a hungry Galactus. stick out tongue

Then again, perhaps in those days, that was a plausibility.

But he was on point with the others though,
and that's what's of consequence concerning the LT.

So, this isn't even classic Beyonder then.

This is a character that never existed in Marvel and we're calling it Beyonder.

We use fictional characters in these forums, right?
So when we say The-One-Above-All, we refere to the fictional supreme power of Marvel.
A writer isn't a fictional or comicbook character, hence can't be used in these forums.

The-One-Above-All is the supreme force now, Beyonder was the supreme force then. The Living Tribunal is a non-factor.

PS: Mr M, you havn't answered my PM:s. If it's not too much of a bother could you please go through them. Thanks smile

To some degree it's the classic beyonder just not Shooters beyonder (if that makes any sense), the Threadstarter asked what if Classic Beyonder was introduced today and then TOAA wants LT to defeat Beyonder, I think it's the deal with the backing. In My Opinion it would be a yes.

Mr Master
But, if you're interested in my official opinion,
it's here from the first page:

====================================

The LT of today would get curbstomped.
just like the old one would've got stomped.

Btw. The LT is NOT the guardian, he is the Judge!

The LT of today is not TOAA.

The LT is the LT with a set power,
a power Protege copied,
a power Scathan may equal.

................................................................................


Toaa/God withIN the Omniverse of today. (THOTI)
would stalemate Beyonder.

Because they are BOTH backed by Writers. (Jim Shooter and Jim Starlin)


The artist of "The End: Marvel" ... is Al Milgrom

The artist of "Secret Wars II" ... is Al Milgrom.


So, what's the difference?

Jim Shooter was both writer and Editor in-Chief of all Marvel.

Does this give Beyonder the edge?

Meh, not necessarily imo.

Stalemate!

The Beyonder was also backed by the Writer (who is also the Editor in Chief)

See how this creates a paradox.

In which case Shooter wins, since Shooter was both Writer and Editor in-Chief. yes

That's definitely not the reason, LT was simply curbstomped by the power of God.

And that's not a weakness, it simply prohibits him to act,
but if LT acts, LT's coming at cha full LT style.

Either way, The LT is simply God of Marvel as long as The One above deams it so. Really, He is the match of the classic Beyonder in Everyway. There is NOTHING that the classic beyonder could do in Marvel that the LT couldn't undo, or remake.

Which is why you can't say that The beyonder is automatically more powerful than The LT using the OLD showings of the LT in a preretconned era.

Not true. The LT has never been God.

But Beyonder really was God as long as Toaa/Editor in-Chief (Shooter) was there.

So again, this match up is senseless if we turn the LT into THOTI/Toaa.

Even if it creates a paradox, it does really show that The classic beyonder is in no way far more powerful than the LT who really does have the backing of the one above all in today's marvel U. The LT has never been God, and niether has Thanos nor The Beyonder. The God of marvel is The one above all. always has been.

I find it interesting that there is no definitive proof that HOTU was TOAA's power,yet we have proof LT is only under TOAA,and yet beyonder and molecule man made him tremble with fear in the past.

So if today the beyonder showed up and everything happened exactly as it did before....would everybody say that Beyonder had TOAA's power?Would we say Molecule man has TOAA"S power?

When Shooter even made enemies because he backed the Beyonder so much.

If this is true and there was no The one above all when the beyonder came, then that would mean the LT did get a retcon, because he now serves a boss who obviously has given him a massive power amp.

Beyonder is not omniscient

Beyonder can be defeated

Do you really think that TOAA couldn't defeat him while Dr. Doom could?

It's simple. If you say the beyonder was God of the Classic Days ( I do not agree since he didn't create the MU and he himself is a creation) but what ever, and there was no mention of the One above all as The LT's boss, and now the LT serves TOAA, It would seem the LT got a retcon when ever TOAA got introduced. Which is AFTER the classic Beyonder series. Thus he would indeed be more powerful as he has a more powerful authority backing him and giving him his power.

Unfortunately Doom did nothing without the Beyonder's approval.

To begin with, that wasn't even Doom,
that was Beyonder's coercion at work.
(he plucked a non-existent Doom from the Future)

On top of that,

We later learned that Beyonder sub-consciously allowed Doom to take much of his power,
Beyonder always wanted to give others their wishes,
that was the whole point of Secret Wars,
"slay your enemies, and all you desire, shall be yours."
(but Doom wanted his power so much, and Beyonder in his newb state, gave it to em)

Endless Mike
Of course he wasn't omniscient, the whole point was that he was trying to learn about humanity. He never could figure out what humans would do or how they reacted. He even got killed in the end by Molecule Man.

Furthermore, TOAA created Beyonder and Doom and Molecule Man, and everything that was going on....

TOAA drew their comics and wrote the plots.

I never said Beyonder was God of the classic days.

I said Beyonder was the supreme power.

Someone else created the Marvel Universe, Infinity Being.

and there was no mention of the One above all as The LT's boss, and now the LT serves TOAA, It would seem the LT got a retcon when ever TOAA got introduced. Which is AFTER the classic Beyonder series. Thus he would indeed be more powerful as he has a more powerful authority backing him and giving him his power.
If you want to believe that, be my guess.

But the LT has never been retconned.

There was never an official introduction of Toaa.

There's no mention anywhere of any kind of the LT's power fluctuating in any way,
in any form, at any time, ever.

TOAA (if anything) was Shooter. smile (I told you this already)
Shooter made Beyonder, "God before Genesis"
Shooter made Beyonder, "a Multiverse" ... ridiculous infinities larger than all of Marvel.

When Beyonder entered the Marvel Universe,
he took over scared the mightiest powers,
and became Reality itself, of every particle.

That's because Humanity was so beneath him.

If the infinite Marvel Universe was like a drop of water to this guy,
how much more insignificant would humanity be? erm

616 itself,
was like single celled paramecia swimming in said drop of water according to Shooter.

Furthermore,
TOAA created Beyonder and Doom and Molecule Man,
and everything that was going on....
Nah, Jim Shooter created Beyonder & Doom & MM & all else.

And according to this OAA:


Jim Shooter himself describes Classic Beyonder to us:


Jim states:


1. Beyonder "is a Multi-verse."

2. Beyonder "was like God before there was Genesis."

3. Beyonder's discovery of our Universe ... (Marvel Multiverse)

.... was like when inventor Leeuwenhoek, looked through his micro-scope ...

.... and discovered little paramecia swimming in a drop of water ... "

"We introduced the Beyonder
and established
that he was studying these beings - us - he had discovered"

=====================================


In your honest opinion, what do you make of this?

I agree.

Nothing really since he has no significant influence any longer.

So then, we arrived at the same conclusion Ut. stick out tongue

This ain't Shooter's Beyonder,
so I'm not interested in debating an imaginary Beyonder,
created in the image of the thread starter,
with stipulations purposely designed to force the real (if it were) classic Beyonder to lose.

The real Beyonder concerns, Shooter,
who would also have the significant authority of the writer,
but even better, of the Editor in-Chief also.

That's classic Beyonder. smile


This is why looking at this from that Marvel related perspective,
we quickly realize if it were classic Beyonder in this scenario,
it'd be a Stalemate against the supreme being of Marvel now.

Simple approach....since classic beyonder did get retconned, in the comics...( by the bosses at marvel..whatever)...then he wasn't all powerful ..in the comics.....he thought he was....big difference....

cheers

Only Beyonder was only retconned
because the Editor-in-Chief/Writer who created him, had left his position.

He didn't think he was, he was all powerful.
And then he was retconned (de-powered)
because the next Editor in-Chief felt his power was too exaggerated.

What Beyonder became afterwards is, inconsequential,
since we're strictly dealing with the Pre-retcon version. smile

Yet he still was unable to figure them out. Thus, not omniscient.

Being vastly more powerful than something =/= understanding it.



Yes, which is a consequence of plot, which TOAA creates.




No, TOAA represents all the writers and all of the company.

There's an interview from Joe Casey that says Superman could beat anyone, so I guess Superman beats Beyonder if you go by interviews so much.

Beyonder was defeated - TOAA defeated him already since TOAA is directly responsible for everything that occurs in a Marvel comic.

Not entirely you asked what if Shooter didn't want beyonder to lose? I replied that what Shooter wanted isn't important, we cannot in my opinion use shooter as argument to say that "Shooter didn't want Beyonder to lose therefore he cannot." Use his interview when he comments on what he liked/wanted to portray Beyonder as, but again Shooters writing stil concerning a Character shouldn't be used.

Not quiet the supreme being of Marvel has always been TOAA anyway that what I refere to as the supreme being. The problem I always see between the "Kirby avatar" and Toaa is the fact that Toaa is meant to be shown and thought of both as a fictionel Character but as a Real person as well, hence Toaa cannot imo be entire fictionel because marvel choosed to make this merging by showing Toaa in that form. Therefore imo the Supreme Being in marvel Toaa (the writer if you like) would always win against Beyonder, Toaa (Shooter in that case) created Beyonder and Toaa (Steve Englehart and Tom Defalco) depowered Beyonder.

If you say so.

But I'll stick to what Marvel comics say,
and according to Marvel comics, Beyonder was Omniscient.

Do I really need to post 20 scans stating it so and Beyonder displaying it so?

Let me know.

That's in your unsupported opinion.

In Marvel, TOAA/God is simply the writers and artists.

The Editor in-Chief is their boss.

But for the most part,
writers and artists have free rain to do what they like,
so long as they adhere to continuity, sometimes they slip up of course.

Irrelevant, and unrelated, and so inconsequential.

Superman never literally pumped FEAR into the most powerful entity in DC.

Beyonder did.

Beyonder was never defeated under his PRE-Retcon power-set.

But believe what you wish.

When Jim Shooter, Editor in-Chief and Writer, (GOD!!!) left Marvel in 1987,
then Beyonder was taken advantage of and de-powered by the New boss,
(uhh, literally) Editor in-Chief Tom DeFalco made Writer Englehart retcon him.
