The Most Powerful Being In DC Comics: Dark Crisis Infinite Frontier Conclusion | Comics Explained

[@johnwright9049]

Problem with DC comics is they are too reliant on crisis events to sell books. But hey they gave Darkseid a huge power boost by making him a member of a lantern Corp.

the problem with the lanterns is that they’re just falling into the same trope as the infinity gauntlet with everyone eventually getting their hands on it. most comics fall into the same tropes and don’t really come up with semi original concepts the more popular thy are

[@CBrown]

Leave it to DC to reset the reset that reset it's last reset because "starting over" is apparently the only way they know how to drum up interest in their comics. And it works because every time they do another Crisis, by the end, I can't wait for them to reverse what they just did. Here's looking at you Doomsday Clock.

I am currently loving this story. Though in my opinion, I would say that the power levels in this crisis are a little wack. I think they could downscale it from switching the great darkness with the empty hand. (just so it doesnt go overboard with the scaling of power)

[@kylecollins3755]

Yes!!! Now top 20 most powerful DC characters hierarchy please!!

[@kylecollins3755]

The empty hand almost sounds like an evil version DC version of the Living Tribunal, at least power wise. And if that's the case, then anyone above street level should be able to beat him...cause that's how Marvel treats the LT.

[@callmestorm23]

The Empty Hand is more like DC's version of the Chaos King or the Black Winter from Marvel. While the Great Darkness is DC's version of Marvel's Oblivion. That's how I see it. Or it could be that the Great Darkness is just DC's version of the One Below All.

[@kylecollins3755]

[@juggaloclownpreacher]

Here's my opinion I think the Multiverse in DC is much like a farmer's crops. DC universe resets itself much like a farmer. They initially grows the plants they get to a stage in which they have to be Harvest this is when the DC crisis happens and after that it resets back to zero. Every Multiverse must be eaten by the great Darkness during a crisis in order to start the balance over again.

I hope that they end up making a new injustice sequel comic and game. If they included dr. Manhattan and one of the story lines let’s superman take his full power, that would just be insane. They’d have to even the playing field somehow. Like superman uses the new powers to bestow powers on new injustice league members and the insurgents have to develop tech to steal the powers and put them in weapons that let them stand a chance. That or they ally with gods or Lucifer to get power that way.

[@DarthWombat]

Kind of sounds like the other Injustice story but with Dr. Manhattan chuckled in 😂

[@ayejayillz8]

Im glad they are going more in depth with The Great Darkness and eventually the presence. They haven’t been mentioned in so long and now they are back to remind everyone there place in the Entire DC Universe Landscape. Nothing is above them besides the over monitor being the concept that forever binds them all together. This also allows for more story telling and be able to truly balance out the power scaling. Omniverse Level: Great Darkness, Presence, Lucifer, Michael. Multiversal Level: The Empty Hand, Darkseid (Not there yet, but can be), The Hands. Dr Manhattan. Superboy-Prime, Batman Who Laughs. Theory is that there will be a omniversal crisis that will allow crossovers from the actual marvel and image comics (spawn). It was already hinted in doomsday clock that marvel and dc will cross over so it is very possible.

So it all boils down to the presence having it's multiverse and the great darkness having its own multiverse?

Oh geez THIS hand. The shadow hand. So, I had the great fortune recently to have JUST finished Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run where this guy shows up basically right in the middle of Crisis on Infinite Earths thanks to weird cultists wanting to use the instability of every universe merging into one to conquer the afterlife and turn it into... well it's Alan Moore so basically into every fascist's dream. Constantine shows up and puts together all the afterlife attuned wizards and magicians and whatnot, and also Swamp Thing since he can commune between the two. The Specter is contact and he says "Oh yea, that crow those cultists sent to wake up the ultimate evil? I let it pass" Why'd the Specter do that? Apparently he wanted something that could actually challenge his power, because apparently the Specter temporarily was inhabiting the body of an anime protagonist. Yes, he gets beaten rather quickly. The shadow ultimately reconsiders the nature of good and evil thanks to the Swamp Thing and gives the Presence's hand a big ol' hand shake. That event was intended to describe how good and evil were going to become more nuanced post-Crisis and not so absolute. So, I guess in this Frontier thing, that's off and the Great Darkness is going full-on mustache twirling evil now.
