Well I can certainly appreciate the man's commitment...I just hope he's at least planning out the rest of the story as he's doing this too.

Me right now... DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!

We can only hope...

Well, if we're gonna go apocalyptic, let's bring in someone who could really cause Archanfel problems...the Plutonian from Mark Waid's "Irredeemable"! Originally the greatest hero of his world, Plutonian, after a series of events, degenerated into its greatest villain. Created by a race of aliens called the Eleos, the aliens became intrigued by the diversity and intensity of human emotions, and crafted a probe using a piece of themselves, to study humans more closely. This probe would eventually become the being called the Plutonian, who initally begins as a Superman-esque character, but after an event which culminates in the death of hundreds of children from an alien virus (of which the Plutonian was involved), he snaps, lobotomizes his partner, and destroys his home of Sky City, killing 3.5 million people in thirty minutes. The Plutonian's powers are not physical but psionic, enabling him to subconsciously manipulate matter on an atomic level: allowing him to heat or freeze the air, see through objects, fly, render himself virtually indestructible, possess super strength and heightened senses, and make opponents more susceptible to damage. It's been hypothesized that if the Plutonian is made aware of his true abilities he would be able to alter probability, see through time and reverse entropy, concluding "and that's just if he moves from Kindergarten to grade school." After meeting with his Eleos creators, Plutonian's powers are expanded. He gains a sixth digit on each hand like the Eleos, and learns how to alter his density to become intangible, remotely ignite explosions by manipulating quantum matter, negate inertia to the point he can stop Earth's moon rotating, view an individual's history by using their mind as a focal point to see through time, and to detect raw materials within a planet and draw them to the surface by will. If Archanfel went up against this guy...well, let's just say I'd rather not get too deep into it.

Here's a link with more info: Prime's bio

Well, Prime did come out during the mid-90s, when things like over-muscled characters, shoulder pads, and belts-with-pouches were the order of the day in comic books...

Our next contestant gives new meaning to the phrase, "use your head" -- the Uni-Mind! The Uni-Mind is a collective being which is created by a significant number of Eternals merging their physical and mental beings into one organism, combining the collective psionic and cosmic energy of several hundred Eternals, which manifests itself as a gigantic brain-like organism. As such, it has an immeasurable intellect, and the composite knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience of all its constituent beings. A Uni-Mind possesses vast psionic abilities across a wide range of mental talents, including levitation, psychokinesis, telepathy, the ability to project mental bolts of force, the ability to travel through the vacuum of space unharmed, and intellectual powers of information processing and problem-solving far beyond human understanding.

Let's switch gears and move into some fresh territory... For your consideration, I give you...the Samaritan from Kurk Busiek's "Astro City"! Hailing from the 35th Century, the man who would be known as the Samaritan volunteered to be sent back through time to save his world from a calamity. Traveling through the timestream he was caught up in "empyrean fire", which granted him such abilities as hypersonic flight, energy manipulation (called an empyrean web) which enables him to carry and hold objects much larger than him, super strength (which may or may not be the result of his energy-based abilities), super-hearing, and dimensional manipulation.

Carrie Fisher has died at the age of 60 RIP Carrie -- you are now one with the Force

Okay, just for giggles, I want to throw in a contestant who'd most likely drive Archanfel nuts...the Impossible Man! An inhabitant of the planet Poppup, Impy has the ability to rearrange the molecules of his body at will into any form he chooses. He can simulate some of the abilities and functions of the object or living being he imitates, depending on what that object or being is. However, if he imitates an object such as Thor's enchanted uru hammer, Captain America's vibranium-adamantium shield, or the Silver Surfer's cosmic surfboard, he can only take on the appearance of said objects, and not their special properties. Some other interesting ways he has adapted his body include: turning himself into a living bomb, turning his body into non-conductive material so he wouldn't be affected by Klaw, and recreating Klaw's sound-projecting cannon, allowing him to reproduce Klaw's sound powers, including the ability to create independent sound creatures. In addition, the Impossible Man also has an encyclopedic knowledge of Earth's popular culture.

And this is only counting the stuff Thunderwing's done in the IDW Transformers books... Speaking of technology run amok, permit me to submit a new contestant...Hank Henshaw, the Cyborg Superman! Once a brilliant scientist, Henshaw was part of a doomed space flight in which he and three crewmates were exposed to cosmic radiation and horrifically transformed. While Henshaw's physical body had expired, his consciousness was transferred into a computer and eventually found its way into Superman's birthing matrix and created a new body, part-Kryptonian, part machine. He would re-emerge as one of the "Four Supermen" who appeared in the wake of Superman's apparent demise during his battle with Doomsday, and was responsible for destroying Coast City, setting off the chain of events that led to Hal Jordan becoming Parallax. Henshaw's powers include technopathy (the ability to control machines, as well as incorporate tech into his physical form, making them an extension of himself) as well as the standard Kryptonian powers via Superman's cloned DNA. As a member of the Sinestro Corps, Henshaw also has wielded a Qwardian power ring, and has even been the grandmaster of the robotic Manhunters.

What is it about insanely OP characters having glowy auras anyway? Speaking of OP, let's kick things up a notch and bring a rather unusual contestant...the Star Brand! Originating in the New Universe, and eventually migrating to the Marvel Universe, the Star Brand is essentially a tattoo that grants who ever possesses it virtually infinite power, limited in application only by the bearer's imagination. The first know bearer of the Star Brand had tried to get rid of it by placing it on an asteroid in space, triggering the "White Event" in the New Universe, which bathed the Earth in a white light and caused many people to develop paranormal abilities. The next bearer, a man named Ken Connell attempted to remove it by placing it on a free weight, but in doing so accidentally destroyed the Pittsburgh, causing the "Black Event." The Brand would eventually make its way to the Marvel Universe when Wendell Vaughn, the superhero known as Quasar, accidentally ended up in the New Universe while on a mission from Uatu the Watcher. Locating the third brand wielder, Jacob Burnsley, Quasar was able to use the brand's power to get himself back home, where he unintentionally passed it onto his secretary and love interest, Kayla Ballantine.

A fight between those two? ...I think I'd wanna be somewhere else when that happens. Speaking of insane donnybrooks, how about this contestant? Atum, also called Demogorge the God-Eater! The offspring of Gaea and the Demiurge, Atum was the first of a new race of gods after the Elder Gods had degenerated into demons and waged war on another. Atum then set out to destroy the demons, and in doing so transformed into Demogorge the God-Eater, virtually erasing the majority of the old gods from the Earthly plane, save for a few such as Chthon and Set. As Atum, he possesses abilities far above those of Earth's pantheons, even surpassing beings such as Odin and Zeus in terms of power. In addition, he possesses superhuman strength, stamina, resistance to injury, and can tap into & manipulate elemental and solar energies, which he can manifest as sunlight, but with powerful destructive force. As Demogorge, he possesses energy siphoning powers as well as a tendency to physically absorb immortal/"godly" flesh into his body. Definitely would love to see Archanfel try to deal with this guy...

Okay, let's shake things up and put in a really obscure contestant...PRIME! Hailing from the all-but-forgotten Ultraverse, Prime (real name Kevin Green) has been billed as his world's strongest hero. Green's abilities are derived from an organic "liquid flesh" from his torso. When it forms around him, Prime possesses tremendous physical strength, exceptionally high resistance to physical injury, and can fly at Mach-level speeds. His only real limit to his powers appears to be his imagination, or his attitude toward heroism at any given time.

Continuing on, let's bring a contestant from the DC Universe...Doctor Fate! Essentially DC's answer to Doctor Strange, Fate's abilities are derived from the Helmet of Nabu, which grants him access to a wide variety of mystical abilities. Since magic and the supernatural does not seem to have any presence in the Guyver-verse (as of this post), I feel the odds would fall in the good Doctor's favor.

"None of you are on your knees. It's a smart move to bow before a deity." "You're not a god." "To be a god, you just have to make people believe you are." "No one believes in you." - Savitar, Barry Allen, and Iris West, The Flash - "Present Day" Well, time to revitalize one of my favorite discussions regarding the Guyver-verse... As I've discussed in past threads, I have had major doubts regarding Archanfel's alleged godhood. Yes, he is phenomenally powerful and has demonstrated as such on numerous occassions, but whether he is a deity can be...debated. In the past I have often drawn up lists on who, across the omniverse, could bring him down. So...I'm gonna do it again. To start off, let's begin with one of the most powerful characters to emerge in the Marvel Universe in recent years, Adam Bernard Bradshear, aka the Blue Marvel: Where do I begin with this guy? First off, his speed, strength, senses, stamina, and reflexes are all at superhuman levels. In addition, he's blessed with flight, invulnerability, enhanced mental perception, a regenerative healing factor, energy generation, and molecular manipulation. He's also demonstrated power levels that allowed him to go toe-to-toe with guys like the Sentry, so Dr. Bradshear is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Did I also mention he holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics and Electrical Engineering from Cornell University? So, who would you place in the ring with the leader of Chronos?

Well...it's October. Still no word yet?

Yeah, I'm a little concerned...you'd think someone somewhere would know what the heck's going on...

So, I notice there hasn't been much talk regarding new chapters...is the series on hiatus? I know I haven't been around much (my apologies), but I was just wondering what was going on.
