@That80sGuy1972 Жыл бұрын
A few decades ago, he wasn't actually all that powerful. He was almost just a space alien Batman who used alien powers instead of rich-guy tech gear. I was a fan of his even back then. Normally, I hate retcons. But when, one retcon after another, they made Martian Manhunter into the guy actually worthy of being a top Justice League Founder, I was (and am) overjoyed.

Barry Allen, if he was evil, would be far more effective. He'd create a parodox by killing all of our grandparents before even our parents were sired simply by zooming into the past. Wally may be the best guy with the most creative ways into maximizing speed force feats without risking of slipping into the speed force or the past, but Barry broke those barriers more than once... probably why Wally never wished to do it.

Superman is not simply vulnerable to magic; he has many times deified it as those around him fell to it. He can even be powered up by it and use it if he chose to. It's been said that he is vulnerable to magic because of his dislike for it, so his vulnerability to it could be psychological. As far as his fighting ability and experience, he spent 1000 years in Asgard alongside WW and DC's Thor fighting a war. Superman can also phase and resist mind control.

Superman said, as you acknowledge Martian Manhunter is #1 on the list of beings he would not want to fight, and said he is the most powerful being on Earth, which would include, Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Shazam, Captain Atom, his cousin Supergirl etc., none of whom he mentioned he'd be scared to fight, as in, no one above does Superman consider more powerful than J'onn. Batman, right after Supes said that, said J'onn could kill the entire Justice League, (which include everyone above,) with a single thought. This is Batman saying that, the guy who has carefully studied every Justice Leaguer to the nth degree to know how to stop them. I am glad you put him above Superman, the Official DC Character Encyclopedia agrees with you, saying J'onn "is in a physical class ABOVE Superman". So if you admit he is the most power being on the planet how come you have others above him? Especially since Bruce said he could wipe out the rest of the list with a single thought.

Barry Allen is selective-memory forgotten in his speed feats, something that he almost never does but can do. Wally West may push to be faster than Barry Allen, but Barry Allen can go far faster by cutting loose and going so fast that time doesn't stand still for him... time goes backwards. When he goes that fast, he can either fall into the speed force itself or time travel to the past. Wally West never does that because he either can't or won't mess with his existence in the here and now for the most part. Firestorm, Captain Atom, The Atom, Dr. Solar (maybe a different comic), and Atom Smasher are cut from the same cloth that created Dr. Manhattan. They are all gods without being gods, without being technically magical. I find it quite amusing that Captain Atom seems to be sporting a Dr. Manhattan version of his head nowadays. Coincidence? Did you just dismiss the White Lanterns as a fever dream better forgotten? I'd like to do so, too... along with that whole Black Lantern mess... it was DC's answer to Marvel Zombies, both intellectual vomit. I would like to say you forgot Dr. Fate, but Dr. Fate is essentially just the guy who lets his helm and the Lords of Order do a positive version of possessing him to create Dr. Fate. I never say this but keep up the awesome work guys! It's probably about time I have shown my love for all of you.
