Say these two cosmic weapons of galactic destruction run into each other in an abandoned star system and target each other for annihilation. Which doomsday weapon wins?
Mageddon wasn't really that impressive. Just a massive space cthulhu, more or less. Void Hound was beating back the JLA and CSA on raw power, and I don't think the fear powers will work on it.
But what was it's primary attack? Driving people against each other, no? It wasn't like it was firing missiles which could turn Cap marvel inside out...
Yeah, Mageddon is kind of a victim of overhyping. It steamrolls just about anything it meets, including the epic heroes of Wonderworld, than it hits Earth, so you expect Earth would need a major plot device to win.. There's absolutely no way Earth could have straight up won that without making everyone Mags beat look weak by comparison. (Even granting Earth had a hero of WW helping them out...)
In the last issue with Mageddon, Earth who received meta human powers were flying into outerspace trying to take down Mageddon, until Mageddon fired an energy blast, killing many of them. Or so it seemed.
I wouldn't think so, if Mageddon had to resort to using the galaxy destroying bomb within him it would not count as a loss. He is a living weapon to either make everything around it go insane and kill themselves or he could do it himself with his attacks like Prep-man said or use the galaxy bomb. He lives (if you can say that) to destroy everything near it and then die with everything else. I don't think there is any overhyping at all with him, if it was not for Heaven's help Earth would have been ash cause of the nukes, giving Mageddon the win.
