Or even a good one.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1148318995198015722006-05-22T13:29:00.000-04:002006-05-22T13:29:00.000-04:00Darkseid was, ahem, "pwned," by the Atom and Conne...Darkseid was, ahem, "pwned," by the Atom <I>and</I> Conner Hawke/Green Arrow.

It's just eroded his power as they bring him in for more and more heroes to beat on, and thus show how powerful they are.<BR/><BR/>In the original comics, some of his Midlevel minions are strong enough to beat Superman. The Infinity Man handles them easily. Darkseid has a handful of minions on the Infinity Man's level, and he has Omega Bullets.<BR/><BR/>So... Superman < Infinity Man < Darkseid.<BR/><BR/>Does Superman need to wear a goofy yellow jumpsuit to fight Green Lantern?<BR/><BR/>So Darkseid shouldn't either, and I don't accept it. In fact, I've proven it mathematically impossible.<BR/><BR/>Case closed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1148288813605993212006-05-22T05:06:00.000-04:002006-05-22T05:06:00.000-04:00I believe I've stated my preference for lovable do...I believe I've stated my preference for lovable doofuses with nice asses over stock villains with well-kicked asses in the past.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1148288343866774322006-05-22T04:59:00.000-04:002006-05-22T04:59:00.000-04:00Darkseid IS.Darkseid IS.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661580119449756549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1148288171535097892006-05-22T04:56:00.000-04:002006-05-22T04:56:00.000-04:00Well, as you can seehttp://myfuckingsound.blogspot...Well, as you can see<BR/><BR/>http://myfuckingsound.blogspot.com/2006/05/top-50-dc-characters.html<BR/><BR/>Darkseid is on my list, Kyle is NOT. and thathas nothing to do with yellow jumpsuits.sean witzkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821166438073682827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1148278264042194102006-05-22T02:11:00.000-04:002006-05-22T02:11:00.000-04:00You mean this guy?I mean, come on, Kyle's intentio...You mean <A HREF="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3841/751/1600/McDarkseid.jpg" REL="nofollow">this guy</A>?<BR/><BR/>I mean, come on, Kyle's intentionally doofy.Ragnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373059673228550524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538843.post-1148275268407262632006-05-22T01:21:00.000-04:002006-05-22T01:21:00.000-04:00I feel a strange tingling in my regions after seei...I feel a strange tingling in my regions after seeing that series of panels.
