fear/suprise/whatever-you-want-to-call-it to the alien armada that
just warped into the solar system
) then you have him saying he "won't give up without a fight and
must arm himself" to face them down
c) then you have the narration saying Korvac was "desperately
amassing power" from everything on Earth. When was
desperately" doing anything when he was facing off vs the
cosmics/abstracts, yet for this alien armada he was "desperately
amassing power" and he had to "arm himself" before he faced them down.
So he was "desperately amassing" more power,
cause he noticed every being in the entire Universe coming at em,
cool, so he didn't know he was powerful enough.
This doesn't change the fact that he was as powerful as he'd become.
At the end he proved capable of becoming one with Eternity,
and decided to erase the Universe anyway.

Sorry, this can't be the case. The face has skeletal features and it's
grimacing, yet Korvac wasn't happy at all. He was desperate and
angry. His emotions don't match up with that being in that scan.
Are you implying Death was empowering Korvac?
If not, what your point?
That Death decided to make a cameo as Korvac approached the crescendo of the story?
Means nothing if so.

Nope, it cannot be the same universe. Here's why :
Here it is in the original story -
The moon was destroyed in a tug of war between Stranger and Korvac
Then several panels later, Korvac threatens to use the Nullifier and is confronted by the Watcher
In this universe, the moon was destroyed PRIOR to the final
showdown with the armada and nullification.
Yet in the Quasar issue
Quasar emerges from the moon portal
Yet there is the final showdown with the alien armada
And Quasar escapes by flying through the moon portal
How can this be? In the original What If the moon was destroyed
PRIOR to these events, but in the Quasar issue, the moon is there
and just fine. They MUST be two different universes. Otherwise,
how can you explain why the moon is still around in the Quasar
issue, yet destroyed and gone in the original What If universe by
the time Korvac confronts the alien armada?.
Zop, let this one go.
It was the same Universe.
When the hell did another Korvac alternate reality diverge?
With the exact same story down to verbatim via dialogue,
with the exception of the moon that was essential in the Quasar version
obviously overlooked 10 years later.
Anyway, again:
Marvunapp (offiicallly sponsored Marvel Comics site)
Also tells us Quasar went through the original 1982 What If reality Korvac erased:

(middle of the page by Korvac's feet on Earth)
---------------------------------
Unless proof or at the very least an allusion of another duplicate
Korvac Universe diverging with the exact same story to the end can be produced
this argument is baseless friend.
---------------------------------
Anyway, that aside,
your contention was that you did not accept what Korvac said in the Quasar book ... here:

But Korvac uses the exact same words in the original What If ... here: (literally)
http://s4d3.turboimagehost.com/t1/11662389_K6.jpg
So one way or another, my point still stands.

reality/non canon appearances aren't valid in VS threads.
Or at least that's how it used to be.
Unless otherwise specified.
