Not really sure how the ability to hold all of time/space in one's hands crosses over into a forum battle... But at first sight, it makes Merlin *seem* well beyond Nabu. /shrug

Whelp Nabu nice knowing you... that scan just won me over. Don't really follow anything on DC Merlin and can't say much other than... wow... and etrigan.
In the most recent Demon Knights, Mordru called himself the most powerful magician - to which Xanadu said Merlin was the most powerful ever (and she was #2 as his student).
Or maybe Xanadu said Merlin was the most powerful and then Mordru countered with himself being the most powerful, my memory is fuzzy and I don't have it in front of me.
Either way, it gives a general impression of how powerful Merlin is. There's a significant chance of exaggeration going on, though, and such statements should always be taken with a handful of salt.

It's not exaggerated in the slightest. This series has made it clear that Merlin isn't just some pesky mage--he is a cosmic powerhouse. Again, though, holding all of time/space in his hands (as Merlin WAS doing) is impressive, but also quite hard to apply to any sort of combat feat.
But imo, he would be beyond Nabu.

That's another feat you know perfectly well won't mean anything when some jackass with an enchanted sword comes his way.
To me it's like saying Odin is beyond Galactus with his best combat feats of wrecking galaxies, affecting the entire space time continuum, or the multiverse.
You have to wait to see how Merlin handles himself against a top tier mage or other foe.
The new dcnu Merlin. Usually in works of fiction Merlin gets top billing. I just don't think that feat proves anything in regards to how he stacks up against Nabu.
