what about the living tribunal???

from WIKI

"The Living Tribunal possesses virtually unlimited power and near-absolute control over the Marvel Omniverse."

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Cant he freeze things with his breath?

purse your lips and blow air. feels a bit cool right? now imagine a superman doing that. same thing. it's not a "superpower" it's just him being really strong. he's always been able to dot hat as long as he's had super-strenght.

 

[Chamber]

Living Tribunal barely even qualifies as a character.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

living tribunal is a deity/cosmic being. they get a pass.

Is not the correct answer always Batman?

I mean, Sentry and Hulk may be broken, but...

This is true, I mean Bats stood up to freaking Darkseid. So there you go.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I want to get a job writing a Marvel or DC imprint where character match-ups reach their logical conclusion

eg: Batman vs Darkseid: Darkseid kills Batman

Darkseid did kill Batman.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Darkseid did kill Batman.

for good, like

if darkseid is so powerful he should be able to at least kill a human

 

[Khal_B]

Darkseid did kill Batman.

Sent him back in time actually. You know they'll never kill Bats, not permanently anyways. He's the Batman!

I kind of wish omnipotent god characters weren't always humanoid. Why does Galactus resemble a dude in a red helmet and standard colorful superhero garb again?

Because people bitch if he looks like anything else, apparently.

Ehh, what? Blowing harder doesn't make the breath colder...it takes a special power to make it cold enough to freeze, it's not just because he has super powerful lungs. It's a power

 

[Jerk]

He does not really, we just perceive him as such.

At least I think that is the bulshit excuse they gave.

 

[The Technomancer]

I mean, even FF: RotSS, as absolutely horrible as it was, at least managed to make Galactus look like something actually threatening (a strange swarm/cloud/thing) and not a dude 100,000 miles tall.

Human POV:

Morpheus from Gaiman's Sandman run was like that too iirc. Martian Manhunter saw him as some big flaming head.

According to Marvel different species perceive him differently. So people on Earth perceive him with in a humanoid form.

Edit: Beaten etc.

 

[Zoramon089]

I mean, it makes sense...an omnipotent being shouldn't even have a body so if it's trying to interact with physical things, makes sense to be in a form and use a language they can understand

Wow, humans really have a superhero-complex if how they imagine him is as a dude in a pink and blue costume

Yeah, but that's what the Herald is supposed to be for. In any event, a being as big as Galactus that eats your planet is scary as crap. Well, would be scary if it wasn't for the hot pink and purple ensemble.

and got turned into a universe ending time bomb.
squirrel girl fought thanos and laid him out.

 

[Dan Yo]

Let's be realistic. Morph is the most overpowered superhero.

 

[HiResDes]

Thanos made Death his bitch, I refuse to even acknowledge the Squirrel Girl fight.

Batman should be able to take down Darkseid with enough prep time.

He's the goddamn Batman.

Same, I don't think SG is meant to be take seriously in the first place. I still think either SA Superman or SBP takes it for cheapest non reality warping, non-deity character.

 

[The Technomancer]

*reading*
Wait...Galactus...embodiment of destruction...immortal being designed to break the stalemate of eternity and death...eater of planets....has to travel around in a ship? I mean, a fucking huge ship, but a metal ship that looks like it has various space-shipy things on it? Really?

He doesn't like wasting his own power on trivial things. Same with why he uses a machine to process planet instead of absorbing it directly.

 

[G-Fex]

TAKE THAT JENNIFER GARNER!

 

[Barrage]

There was an issue of Wolverine's Solo Series where Galactus takes on Bone-Claw Wolverine. Yep, you read that right.

Hilarious thing is, Galactus absorbs the planet he's after no problem and barely notices Wolverine's existence.

 

[El Sloth]

Wow, humans really have a superhero-complex if how they imagine him is as a dude in a pink and blue costume

Earth's strongest superhero dresses like this:

How could you blame them?

Also, I've always taken Galactus' costume to be purple and blue not pink. Which I think is appropriate for swag incarnate.

 

[Puddles]

Apocalypse is a way better embodiment of destruction than Galactus, IMO.

Are there any Marvel universe reboots that leave out all the retarded reality-warping shit?

Galactus feels more like a force of nature you almost cant do anything about

Apocalypse feels like a Hitler or something

Old Erik could push big lips shit in.

 

[Satch]

off-topic, but I'm about to make the July comic thread

we don't already have one, right? i need to make sure before i hit submit

 

[Puddles]

Old Erik could push big lips shit in.

But that's cool. I like heroes and villains that have logical weaknesses and don't rely on ridiculous plot contrivances.

Reading some wiki articles, it seems like the grounded world of Marvel superheroes went the way of the dodo, and the whole thing became a DBZ "power level one billion!" wankfest where each writer tries to one-up the guy who came before.

Sentry? Zeus? Celestials. Fuck that bullshit. Give me Magneto vs the X-team and grounded heroes and villains.

I'll put up with plot items like the Infinity Gauntlet, but once it goes too far beyond that, they've lost me.


Though I guess after 50 years, you run out of ways to present Wolverine vs Sabertooth/Omega Red.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Same, I don't think SG is meant to be take seriously in the first place.

Of course not.... she's still stronger than Thanos.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

It was gdlk when he took him down.

 

[Wellington]

OK.

I need to go back and read a lot of these books that you guys are referencing. What's the best way to do so? I definitely want to check out WWH and the Dark Avengers series.

Is this what I should be reading?

Is the Marvel Online subscription worth the price of admission?

Anyone?

 

[Leunam]

Anyone?

I think you should be reading this one. Many (all?) hugelargebig events in DC and Marvel cross multiple different books, but this one is the basic story without the side-issues. I don't remember if that's the same one I have, but it collects World War Hulk #1-5, which should be the main story. You may have to ask in the comics thread, though.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Ehh, what? Blowing harder doesn't make the breath colder...it takes a special power to make it cold enough to freeze, it's not just because he has super powerful lungs. It's a power

just blow, cold air comes out. he's superman. SUPERman. everything we do he does a million times more.

 

[Escape Goat]

 

[Escape Goat]

just blow, cold air comes out. he's superman. SUPERman. everything we do he does a million times more.

so he should be turning the air into plasma. Assuming Supes body temp is the same as ours...or even room temperature.

 

[Tntnnbltn]

No it doesn't.
