>>77976919
This was true before new 52, read final crisis.
>>77976886
Well he still fucked up the Crime Syndicate's world. And he mined the anti life equation, and merged it with death and Flash.
Just wait for him to become a big guy again.
>>77977215
I have read Final Crisis, and Darkseid is not more powerful than the Anti-Monitor in it, no is he even the primary villain of FC.
The vampire monitor is.
>>77977116
His very rare appearances are what make him special
Conversely, Thanos is pimped out in multiple books every year, used in comedy bits and is now completely worthless
>>77977299

>>77977277
>Darkseid fucked Earth-2
>Anti-Monitor fucked Earth-3
Darkseid is ahead so far
>>77977353
I still maintain that what fucked Earth 2 was the Gentry. Darkseid and Apokalips was merely the means to an end to accomplish it. The Anti-Life equation perverted to serve the Anti-Death equation, as the suffering of that book and its continued prolonged zombie-like existence with no thought or care put into its characters or ideas, continues long past the threat of Darkseid within Worlds End.
>>77975395
>>77976815So are those lips or teeth?
Brainiac got upgraded to multiverse level though with the Bleediac shit.
>>77977353
Well everything is reset. Before that Anti Monitor had an infinite number. Give the guy some time to get ahead again.

>>77977299
Darkseid winning caused the Multiverse to collapse, Ant-Monitor was slowly destroying Earths, Darkseid did it on go.
Where does the Anti-Monitor fall before he absorbed the entirety of the antimatter universe? I mean Supergirl beat the shit out of him.

>>77977453
>It's best to think of Morrison's stuff as separate from everything else until DC decides to integrate it.
I dunno, I think Morrison's cosmology is just vague enough to accommodate everything else that happens.
The Gentry are driven by toxic ideas that breed in apathy. All I was trying to point out is that what killed Earth 2 was the fact that once Robinson left, no one gave a damn about the setting or characters and just saw a sandcastle to be kicked over and pissed on. That sort of mind-set is what the Gentry represents.
>>77977531
That's how I'll always see him too
>>77977538
>>77977453
>>77977393
Wasn't the cover of Multiversity shown during Bleediac's speech towards the end of Convergence?

>>77976886
>>77976919
>>77976969
What is this Darkseid War? I heard from a friend that Darkseid did something like scatter himself into the multiverse so each fragment could become its own Darkseid. Then he would harvest and combine those fragments with the real Darkseid to make him even more powerful.
The way he explained it didn't make too much sense and maybe I misunderstood.

Am I missing anyone noteworthy?
On a technical note, Superman(as well as prime etc) could be considered mutliversal, if they reality punch the main earth in the right way, bringing down the rest of the 'local multiverse'.
Also, question semi-kinda related to this stuff. Are there other groups of monitors out there, that preside over the universes beyond the 52? Been thinking about this a lot lately, now that 'everything is real' post convergence/multiversity etc. Does each multiverse in the omniverse have it's own set of monitors?

Volthoom so far only seems able to fuck with one universe at a time, I think.
>>77977585
Why in the world would Anti-Monitor need or use a yellow power ring?
>>77980323
He didn't actually have a ring, he's wearing the Sinestro Corps emblem as a show of force
>>77980323
He's not. The Sinestro Corps was merely doing his bidding.
>>77980380
This
He was the "guardian" of the sinestro corps
>>77979070
Bleediac is definitely not in the same league as Darksied and Anti-monitor.
Didn't he get trapped by Mr Terrific?
>>77980458
>Bleediac is definitely not in the same league as Darksied and Anti-monitor.
but he's definitely above universal. So what, multi-universal?
>>77980502
He operates outside of the scope of single universes, but really cannot affect events within the DCU Multiverse like the others can. What he does is influence the individual universes directly, what makes him different from regular Brainiac (his probes) is the fact that he can access more than one universe. I don't know what you would classify that as.
>>77976969
>it's the only thing that IS canon now
That's a load of shit.
Besides the blanket effect that Convergence had that isn't likely to matter much, Pre-Flashpoint Superman and Lois are in the New 52 and Zero Hour Parallax has just dropped in.
>>77980602
Still only a universal level threat due to his low power level
He's only capable of destroying one planet at a time like Mogul whereas Darksied can launch much larger scale wars
There's also the Great Darkness who is the pressence' worse half.
>>77980869
Entities don't count due to how rarely they're used
>>77980869
>>77980904
Yeah they're sort of fundamental keystones of the DC cosmology. We're talking more about agents that work within that framework on different levels.
>>77980693
>Besides the blanket effect that Convergence had that isn't likely to matter much
All Convergence did was just provide the same conclusion that Multiversity brought us, on a slightly smaller scale.
>the universe is truly infinite again
>there are multuple multiverses that make up the omniverse
>>77977585
Lame.
Why focus on only the villains? Surely the Guardians, the Spectre, the Emotional Spectrum creatures and other "good guys" should factor into this.
>>77977531
They're not lips, they're his face, he has no lips
>>77981685
Guardians are weak af
>>77975395
Mandrakk is probably the biggest villain in DC, either him or The Darkness (from Hellblazer/Swamp Thing).
>>77976815
Darkseid's slow death was going to erase all of existence and released Mandrakk upon the multiverse.
>>77982699
It really depends on their depiction.
>>77979070
So, considering his threat level, how did y'all feel about Anti-Monitor being taken out by a Warworld to the head?
>>77975478
>including one shot villains
We will be here months. No.
>>77981685
Emotional Spectrum creatures are dependant on their hosts, their respective corps are usually enough to subdue them
>>77977508
>I mean Supergirl beat the shit out of him.
And she was weakened there in the Anti-Matter Universe. It's shown that kryptonian powers were lower there for some reason.
>>77982828
Antimonitor can do all that by himself, without having to die. And he would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling heroes.
>>77979070
>>77975679
Wrong
Empty Hand is not Multiversal or even Omniversal level enemy
He is literally part of Overmind
He is the villain on all levels of existence and doesn't seemingly have an upper limit
MORE IMPORTANTLY multiversity spells it out pretty plainly that you can't actually fucking beat Empty Hand, you can't just poof and punch him to death unlike even guys like Mandrakk
He can be fought, that's a constant process, but it's not a process that will ever come to a fruition until all consciousness in universe achieves Grant Morrisian spiritual uber-singularity
>>77980869
Great Darkness and Pressence as it's explained in modern DC multiverse are but fragments of Overmind
If anything The Pressence and Darkness are minor representations of Empty Hand and the Creator Hand and they are both just hands of one being, the Overmind
>>77983082
That wasn't how it happened. He was still killing GLs left and right, almost got Hawkman iirc. Superboy-Prime through him across the universe.
>>77983550
Riiight, fuck, I'm dumb. I just remembered that part 'cause I loved it.
>>77983451
I would say Empty Hand is 'omniversal-level.'
The difference is that the Empty Hand is based on an idea, essentially something that really exists and really does threaten the creative world, so he is the only true 'threat' of any omniversal-level threat.

It's a terrible comic by a writter that has no idea how to use the new gods, fuck you.
>>77977531
Me too. I thought it was symbolic on how a whale filter feeds on krill, the Anti-Monitor was filtering through the multiverse and entire universes were nothing but krill to him.
>>77977508
His power isn't physical so much, its energy
You could say that his attack power is beyond belief, but his body was just as breakable as anyone elses.
Because of this fact, he could keep coming back any time he was killed, since his real body was the energy, and his physical form was just the thing holding the energy together in one place.
He's rebuilt his body many times.
He's like a Celestial sort of

I find it both amusing and depressing that the ultimate villain of all of fiction is the literal embodiment of "I got nothin'."
>>77977508
Well before Supergirl got the drop on him, he was bitch slapping Superman pretty handily.
And despite the damage Supergirl caused him, it was more just an inconvenience, and then he killed her in one shot.
