Compare the Darkest Knight's battle against Superboy Prime to Monarch's battle against Superboy Prime. Was Monarch a multiversal power? The Black Winter literally consumed entire universes. Is this still looking skewed to you?
what’s to compare? He killed Monarch and then survived a universe destroying blast at point blank range.
BW consumes universes like what Barbatos did for WF? BW would be insignificant spec of dust to DK and Perpetua.
Monarch doesn’t belong on the same level as DK and Perpetua. Monarch’s energy destroyed a universe but failed to kill prime. BW died from a less powerful attack. How powerful is Cosmic Thor? Cube Being level? IG? I doubt it. All of them are insignificant to DK.
DK has the power of Dr.Manhattan with Batman’s bag of tricks and amped by crises energy. DK just corrupts Thor and makes him his slave. Or just ends him. This is spite.
You're making an awful lot of claims that do not stack up.
Superboy Prime had a tougher fight against Monarch than he did against Darkest knight.
Post the scans and see for yourself.
Everything else is hype.
The Black Winter casually devoured entire universes. Cosmic King Thor beat him. He's on the level based on, on panel evidence.
Do you actually believe that Superboy Prime would defeat a true near omnipotent being? Against a true near omnipotent, he wouldn't get the chance to do anything other than sent away to a pocket dimension with no walls to punch.
Since when can a physical being trump a character with power over time, reality, matter, the mind, space, etc? The Darkest Knight either jobbed, or was pure hype along with Perpetua who he defeated.
I'm judging based on what was shown, and what was shown placed the Darkest Knight on Monarch's combat level. All of the building of multiple universes was absolutely meaningless after seeing him get punched out by a Monarch level character.
