Here is another example...

A blast from Galactus actually harmed Thanos to an extent, despite ALL the defensive shielding of his ship being in place:
(please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)
...But the blast only caused very minor collateral damage to their surroundings(a small circular crater beneath Thanos, is all.)


Yet in the very same series, Thanos himself(without the aid of his ship's shielding) outright tanked the close-range planetary destruction of a gas giant without skipping a beat:
(please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)


So despite a lack of collateral damage in the first scene, we can still infer that the potency of Galactus's blast would have been =/> the explosion of the gas giant that Thanos tanked a few issues later.


tl;dr
Collateral damage is not always a reliable measuring stick when it comes to gauging the potency of energy attacks and such. Makes perfect sense that higher-end reality/energy manipulators would be able to concentrate and contain their attacks so that they still retain full potency, without causing any unwanted 'bleed-over' to their surroundings(ie. collateral damage.)
I understand that, but molecule man and beyonder are two very powerful beings that are in full control of their powers, that seemed like a focused blast that was only directed at the beyonder, the beyonder himself felt the full force of that blast that's why he knew what that blast could have destroyed. By the room, the city,and not even that Galaxy being affected shows that that blast was only directed at the beyonder who felt the full brunt of that attack. The collateral damage was given by the beyonder who knew how powerful that Blast was.

That makes no sense.

Indeed.

And this perfectly conveys the fact that collateral damage in and of itself(or lack thereof) isn't the end-all/be-all measuring stick when it comes to gauging the strength or potency behind an attack... Especially when a high-end matter/reality manipulator is the one projecting it.

Owen hits Beyonder with a blast that could have wiped out several billion entire dimensions, yet caused no damage at all to the room they were standing in. Despite the blast itself containing massive attack potency, there was literally no collateral damage whatsoever.

Which means that if it wasn't concentrated, it would have destroyed billions of dimensions. Perpetua taxed herself destroying a single universe and had to recharge afterwards. Theres a huge power difference here. Then, planets were damaging her.

I'm not discussing Perpetua's standing relative to the others. I am just helping explain why collateral damage isn't always an accurate way of approximating the power of an attack.

As the Owen/Beyonder and Galactus/Thanos scenes illustrate: a lack of collateral damage resulting from an attack doesn't automatically mean said attack wasn't immensely powerful.

And how powerful do you think Perpetua/DK are?

DC Comics doesn't have any Celestials. You had the Titans that resided in five-dimensional space, and then you had the Monitor, the Anti-Monitor, and the World Forger in six-dimensional space, the latter of which was responsible for the creation of the 4-dimensional DC Multiverse.

This may seem impressive and all but the Beyonder came from a realm that had infinite dimensions, which makes it far more complex in terms of degrees of freedom than anything established in DC comics be it universe or multiverse.

Tell me, why when marvel mention infinite dimensions, it counts
But when dc does it, it does not count?
(please log in to view the image)
(please log in to view the image)
(please log in to view the image)
Why so bias? Did they specify marvel’s dimension is temporal-spatial, or is it simply geometrical?

Pre-retcon Beyonder is in concept very similar to the Overvoid. They're both the incarnation of the totality outside the multiverse, and they were both intrigued by the Multiverse. The difference is that the Overvoid has its degrees of freedom limited to six dimensions.

This is so retarded, overvoid is the paper where comics draw on, it was literally stated overvoid is outside of sixth dimension, why would it’s degrees of freedom limited to six dimensions.

Marvel is 3-d, accept it and move on, beyond realm only view the marvel universe/multiverse as droplet of water, which coincide with the size of sphere of gods or nil, unless you can prove it in size beyond realm is bigger than nil (which view the 3-d dc multiverse as germ world), concede.

give me evidence of marvel dimensions are planes of existence each infinitely dwarf the previous ones, marvel has no ****ing definition of how their dimensions operate. It’s literally just universes

Because that’s the only way dimension discussion has any value

quote:
You're not grasping the scale here. It doesn't matter how many rooms a mansion has, it's always going to be smaller than the planet it's placed on.


I don’t think you understand, third dimension universes are size of bubbles on the planet of new genesis. YOU ARE NOT GRASPING ANY SCALE.

quote:
Unlike you I'm not defending Marvel because I'm a fanboy, I'm defending it because it's the correct answer based on what we see in the comics.


Based on your interpretation of comics, which is wrong.

Yeah, this is how I've always seen it. Where DC's dimensional scaling is concerned, it's less about the numerical value of the dimension, and more about what that dimension represents within continuity.

So just because Marvel defined the Beyond Realm as infini-dimensional back in the SWII days, that doesn't mean it scales infinitely beyond the 4th, 5th, or 6th dimensions in DC. Two different companies; two vastly different cosmologies.

And prior to that he mentioned he hadn't seen some members of LOSH since the Crisis, when the original team returned in the mid-2000s.

He's also mentioned memories from Silver Age books, his own and JLA as well.

The Infinite Crisis undid the knot in the timeline caused by COIE and everything in history became canon.


Flashpoint was a type of similar knot, until Convergence and Rebirth unravelled it.

In the Beyonder vs Molecule Man instance, the Beyonder appears to have absorbed the force of the blast. That's the only way to make sense of the scene.

Most Batman related characters have bland designs and only get the past due to Nostalgia of Batman himself. They look shitty, act shitty and exist solely for wanking

I might be forgetting a couple of designs but the ones that stand out in quality are Two-Face and Joker and while they look good those guys are barely characters.

I can't see how that knowledge gives anyone the go ahead to claim that the characters are more or less powerful than other near omnipotent characters. I can't see Superboy doing that to the Living Tribunal who could just snap his fingers and BFR Superboy Prime to a null dimension with no walls in sight. Just blank space.

All of the scans that Mr. Mind used can not explain away the sad performance that the Batman Who Laughs had against Superboy Prime. I mean, why did that even ever turn into a fist fight? It was pretty underwhelming to say the least. Snyder isn't very good, and the only redeeming quality backing the tepid plot was the artwork.

I'm far from convinced that Superboy Prime would ever be able to defeat TOAA, IG Thanos, Mxy, Doctor M, Beyonder, or even an adult Franklin Richards. However he beat the mess out of BWL which lowered his stock significantly.

Team 2 gets my vote for those reasons.

I can give you plenty of example where near omnipotent beings make mistakes or do not utilize their powers to the full extent. It just how comics works. It’s why beings like LT despite being near omniscient won’t interfere but later into the story, they are “forced” to. It’s rather silly but it happens every time.

DC most definitely abuses this more because they put their heroes (esp Superman) on a pedestal. It’s the same reason DK supposedly won’t even blink the heroes out of existence (though I actually think he can’t because he is a nightmare, if they die, he dies)


That said, you shouldn’t just disregard the showings. Prime has a history of beating beings that are strong. Let’s not forget when he was a Superman Prime, a monitor was still somewhat scared of him, Mxy was also scared of him, he survived a universal explosion point blanks. He was definitely a universal being with a limited amp.

Him fighting (he still lost) DK isn’t “that” far fetched considering some of his other high end feats

What's more impressive is that the fight got attention of overvoid itself.
