And on this occasion he believed Billy should be killed. Until someone who held authority over him (Superman) demanded his release. Spectre isn't going to kill someone who he has just been ordered not too. If the spearhead of the cause he is following demands him not too why would he carry on abstract or not?
Your making huge artistic interpretations here to accentuate your position. He spoke in a demanding voice because his friend was gonna be killed. Prior to that it was until he was told not to.
Why would he be wanting to kill his friends then if he was following him? Clearly he decided to do otherwise for whatever reason and he was halted and Superman brought him back on coarse?
Spectre has been ordered by a high power to follow, and or protect someone inferior to his own self before. When this occured the Spectre at no time demanded said person to come to his presence, nor did the Spectre present himself in form of intended dominance and power as he did in this case. The spectre had just destroyed half a town, killed Mr. blood and boomed across the city that Superman come to his presence immediately.
In the past the Spectre has outright killed the friends/families of those he had been ordered to protect/help, and the reason was often because they were not "innocent". Spectre outright states that Billy is not innocent and is a direct threat to the purpose he has been assigned to protect. This states very clearly that Billy is a threat to his purpose, and his mission which would mean that the Spectre's statement of killing Billy was very real.
Superman then ordering Spectre to release billy is a very rare occurrence in comics, this is because the Spectre does not heed the request of others when they conflict with his belief/mission. Going by near every appearance of Spectre in continuity he should have killed Billy regardless of what superman demanded, and the only times he has not done so is when he is dwarfed in power/authority.
Spectre stated he was giving all his power to protect Superman so does that mean he is weaker or stronger?
I agree with your 2nd paragraph so I can't really make a reply there.
Like I said things happen. A writer once wrote Thanos being arrested by humans. One also wrote for Darkseid to fall down stairs and get mugged by thugs.
It happens and the writer has made this story so.
I find it really interesting. I want to see what happens next. For all we know we may find out I'm wrong next week or vice versa. Ultimately who knows.
The prime difference is that Injustice Superman has had nothing but high end feats, and his feats have been escalating in power rather than experiencing a bull whip effect of up and down.
First Injustice Superman dominates the high skyfather character Ganthet, and then he dominates Spectre in power/authority (questionable which). It seems entirely in line for Superman considering his feats have all been extremely high, and have demonstrated no disposition for a downward slope.
Sure they have been high I agree. Gantlet and Mogo feat to name one. Don't get me wrong here I am not saying he is weak but I must think your interpreting the dialogue wrong.
Sure he hasn't shown a downward slope. And like I said next week he may pull a deus ex machina style feat and I may be wrong. But we have to wait and see.
You wouldn't either if you knew how powerful the Phoenix force actually is. Actually that's what might want to do. Just check out just how powerful it is, and then, if you believe that any of these Supermen are on that level, you will at least have good reason for believing this. I just don't believe that you will. We are talking about a cosmic universal force.
If one of the P5 goes down the remaining becomes more powerful, and so on. If they somehow made it to the last one, there is no chance for them.
To add, I made a thread long time ago about Phoenix 5 vs Galactus, so I know the level they on. Some of these threads today have been really anti-superman, so as a house of el member, I must make a stand against tyranny
Anyway, not sure about this thread and whether it's spite or not. The P5 were very impressive, but it's been a while since I read the books, so I'm trying to recall their upper feats.
Its exactly as Stoic said "If one of the P5 goes down the remaining becomes more powerful, and so on. If they somehow made it to the last one, there is no chance for them."
Once its down to the last host, say they wind them down the last host, its total PF universal control. Its un winnable fight.
