The same sky threatened to crush entire existence, Highfather tried to stop it by channeling godwave but failed eventually.

Maybe Odin, that's it.

This is one of those non-quantifiable feats with no inherent meaning that bullshitters like to peddle. I think even the writer explained that it's not a physical feat.
But for the sake of argument, Hercules did it too.

Its not, sky was falling and it was destroying planets as shown on panel.

Soon it would have crushed entire existence.
Nothing unquantifiable about it. Hercules only lifted axis Mundi, which is simply a magical axis.

Its not even a weight, Atlanteans siphoned some of the energy of the axis Mundi to make themselves the center of the world (not universe or multiverse mind you).

Referencing something doesn't make both feats equal, no matter how much you want it to.

Why are you cross-referencing? This is a completely unrelated comic dealing with a completely different idea of what the heavens are.

What? Atlas was the Axis Mundi.
"There we condemned the titans' general, Atlas, to hold the heavens along as the Axis Mundi--the world axis--"
And it does make it clear that he did hold up the heavens.

Referencing something doesn't make both feats equal, no matter how much you want it to. Axis mundi = the point (ie axis) that bears the weight of the heavens.
You can quibble about what the "heavens" equals (ie less than a planet, a whole universe, a multiverse), whatever. But you've been peddling this bullshit about axis mundi being "less weight" because it's "just a magical axis" and we've been over this argument three times now.
An axis is a point that bears weight, my dude. It doesn't matter that it can be drained of its magical energy (???). While it bears the heavens weight, then lifting it = lifting the heavens.

So basically you are borrowing Mr Master terminology where anything can be anything, heavens=multiverse=omniverse?
No, it was outright stated to be energy field in the handbook.

A comic that was released three years later, by a different writer, telling a completely different story with unrelated concepts, and not making any references to the story you cross-reference.
But let's be a bit more straight-forward: Is there any evidence (at all) that these concepts are connected other than they both being referred to as "the Heavens?"

What are you talking about? I literally cited the narration box from the first page you posted. Atlas is the Axis Mundi, and he held up the Heavens.

No, it was outright stated to be energy field in the handbook. No, if you re-read my post I think you'll find that I don't give a shit about whether heavens are likened to the sky or the multiverse or the omniverse. Ironically, you are busy trying to stitch together unrelated DC comics to inflate Superman's feat from simply heavens to instead = multiverse.
Everything from the actual panels to the handbooks shows that lifting "axis mundi" in Marvel = lifting the heavens (whatever you define that to mean). If you keep insisting that axis mundi is something lesser, you just look like a liar and a dipshit.

That's how a shared universe works. If it's canon, it can be cross referenced.
You mean there are two different Atlas in DC holding up two different skies?
Axis Mundi is the energy field which Atlas holds up. Learn to read.

Because it literally is. The sky fell and almost crushed entire existence including multiverse and sphere of Gods.
And you're equating it to Superman's feat because why not? Even if I were to accept it is more than an energy field which is again reiterated in History of the Marvel Universe.

It's not a matter of whether it can or can't be done, but rather: a matter of the quality of the arguments being made. Most people here understand that these kind of patchwork arguments are highly unreliable, and don't represent either the writers', the editors' or the audience's perception of the character's abilities, and therefore can't be associated with any consistent portrayal of the character's abilities.
Originally posted by abhilegend

No. What I mean is that this conception of Heaven is unrelated to the one held up by Atlas.

They're siphoning Atlas' power, it's right there in the pages you posted: Atlas is being drained of his powers and expresses pain.
In this story Atlas is the Axis Mundi. I mean is literally explained in the first quote I cited.

I thought you read the scans lol lol I am completely at a loss as to what you think you're proving. This is like GS going on about Kabbalah.
So to recap, you have found one handbook that refers to Axis Mundi as an energy field, and one handbook that refers to Yggdrasil as an energy field, and one handbook that refers to Axis Mundi as Yggdrasil, and you are using those statements to argue that Hercules didn't live the heavens?

Abhi, Superman is not going to save you. Like all Americans, Clark can't even use a world map.

Quality according to whom?
What's Atlas holding up then?
Have you actually read the story? I guess not.

Heaven, but a different conception thereof. Again, these are unrelated stories.

They're also calling him the Bearer of the Heavens, which is what you're denying. I think? You've not really made your argument particularly clear.

What's the difference in heavens between both stories according to you?
Alright, so your argument is that Atlas held up physical weight of the heavens, right? So when Amazons drained it and made a vase the new anchor of the world, do you think Amadeus Cho lifted the physical weight of the heavens?

No. The main argument I'm making is that it's a metaphysical feat and therefore worthless when we're trying to quantify the characters's physical abilities.
The other argument I'm making is that you're cross-referencing unrelated stories.

The writer even clarified that the feat took both strength of body and spirit. Superman physically lifted the sky, there were other factors too but that doesn't diminishes the physical aspect of the feat.
That's what makes stories part of a shared universe. It's canon, it can be referenced.
