Yep.
Supposedly there will be a White Lantern. But it will be covered in GL. Hope to see more from it.

Imperiex wasn't all that, either. At least Sinesto held his own with Nekron, someone who's more powerful than Imperiex, IMO.
I wouldn't say that Sinestro "held his own" against Nekron.
As for Nekron being more powerful than Imperiex, I'd have to disagree. I've seen far lesser forces then Imperiex smack him around.

I'm pretty sure Nekron has been retconned for Blackest Night into something different from what he originally was. So I'm not sure how accurate using old showings of his from 20+ years ago would be.

Yeah, he got an upgrade, but I am sure Galen was talking about BN showings

A feat Galan associates with Nekron as if he's done nothing else in his history.

That was 20 years ago. It also occurred in his own realm and since then, Nekron had a huge upgrade.

It was a legitimate question. I wasn't sure.

Honestly, what has really changed? He was death personified then, he's death personified now. Johns just brought him into the spotlight again.
...Dunno what this 'upgrade' is/was that people keep talking about?

You're right, Fate also got the better of Nekron -- and in his own realm, no less.

Umm before Blackest Night, Nekron had like 4-5 showings to his name. So using one of those '20 years old' showings as an example is perfectly acceptable.

The upgrade is the black light. Barry commented on it

Just as long as you're not sticking to the Captain Atom showing.
Also, xJLxKing ftw.

I don't get what's so hard to understand. He didn't have the Black Lantern 20 years ago; now he has it

quote: (post ) Cool, so a single line from Flash was enough for you to say that Nekron had a "huge upgrade" during Blackest Night? Nice.
Furthermore if you look solely at feats, what did 'current' Nekron really do?:
Resurrect the dead?
Own some Guardians?
Amp a few characters?
Get owned by a competent wielder of the white light?
Cool stuff, but his 'classic' self had already done all of that as well (sans the last.) Point being: I just don't think Nekron did enough on the high-end to warrant an 'upgraded' status.

Except, this "current Nekron" has gotten new feats.
- He can affect the living
- He has tanked every attacked besides the white light
- He has one weakness shown, or at least hinted. His weakness is the white light which is why he lost to his first body to Sinestro
- To be fair, he beat Sinestro
