Well, when Luthor became president, he had to give up most of his properties, so all he has is his raw funds, which puts him at an instant disadvantage. When Stark became Secretary of Defense, the same had to happen, so he just has raw savings and investments as well. However, recently, Luthor went insane and is presumed dead, so it can be assumed that any personal bank and investment funds he had are gone, and he is left with what he hid away. At the same time, all properties he used to own fell under ownership of Wayne Enterprises. Thus, Bruce Wayne is one rich mofo, Stark is just wealthy, and Luthor is out on his ass.

yes I was hoping u would say that

after what I just read in Iron man, Stark

Spoiler

may be joining Luthor.

 

[The Leaguer]

Yeah. I was pretty annoyed reading events in Iron Man that were a direct result of what happened in Avengers 500, which isn't even out yet.

 

[Anubis]

Makes no sense at the moment, but after seeing what Stark did, it has certainly gotten my intrest.

 

[The Leaguer]

I suppose its possible that they set Iron Man after Avengers 500 on purpose, to create interest in A500, but if that isn't the case, it was some pretty poor planning by Marvel. All they had to do was delay Iron Man two weeks.

 

[Anubis]

yeah, like we need more confusion from marvel.

Okay, I've got a question regarding the serious cosmic powers in DC. Of course we have the Quintessence, which is a group of cosmic powers. The Phantom Stranger and The Spectre (on off, meh) I know very well. I know Archangel Micheal, who's beaten The Spectre. Shazam of course, that last Oa guy. Uhmmmm, and I know a couple of others. But what about this "Great Evil Beast" I keep hearing about? Supposedly the most powerful evil force in the DCU? I mean, Marvel has tons of cosmics, and a bunch of rare, obscure ones as well, mostly beings that appeared in Quasar or whatever. Thanks ahead of time.

I know Imperex is dead, and Mageddon was pretty much just a weapon, and is dead, but they might count.

Yeah.

Who in the hell is Mageddon though?

 

[The Leaguer]

Mageddon was the dude from the "World War Three" arc in JLA. From what I remember, he was a super-weapon from the universe before the present DC universe. In that universe, the people there kept making more and more poweful weapons until Mageddon's type was made, which destroyed pretty much everything. It survived the Big Bang and travelled our universe destroying everything in its path. It was even capable of destroying Wonderworld, which I think was a world populated by beings of Darkseid/Highfather's power.

 

[Guyverjay]

Amazing how superman manages to stop it though

 

[X]

And, thanks Leaguer.

How'd Superman stop it though?

 

[The Leaguer]

This is pretty much the end of the World War Three arc, so if you plan on reading it, don't read this.

Spoiler

Mageddon is powered by an anti-sun, and Superman figures if he can absorb sunlight, he can do the same with anti-sunlight. So he does.

The end is actually much more complex than that, and on a much grander scale, but thats pretty much what it comes down to. This is easily my favorite JLA story arc.

 

[Guyverjay]

It was still ******ed in every possible way

 

[The Leaguer]

I don't think so at all. I think its a great cap to Morrison's run.

 

[Guyverjay]

Bah it was a complete cop out

Spoiler

"Duh since its powered by anti sun energy and I absorb sun energy I can absorb it uck yuk"

Nevermind that the thing supposedly had enough energy to wipeout a galaxy. No lets just have supes absorb the thing and then smile about it afterwards

 

[The Leaguer]

Its true,

Spoiler

the Superman-absoring-insane-power-with-no-huge-effect-on-him

part was questionable, but I just chose to ignore that, for the sake of enjoying the rest of the story. That happened over the course of like 2 pages, and everything surrounding those two pages, I thought, were absolutely great, much like the rest of Morrison's run.

Could someone please tell me some instances of Orion and Superman fighting? I mean, I've heard a number of times that Orion has stalemated Superman a time or two, but I can find nothing. Please go into some detail on how these fights went as well, thanks ahead of time.

 

[X]

Also, anyone have any good info on Geo-Force? I know the basics and what not, but what exactly are the extent of his powers? Just how strong is he, and so on. And is it true he once laid a pretty bad ass kicking on Superman? Changing the gravity so it was like on Superman homeworld or something. Someone...please...!

Ok guys I want to get into The DCU a little more I currently buy Batman{Which I going to drop for 3 months because of war games} and Superman/Batman{I have #7 onward.I plan on getting the first trade}I'm going to start getting JLA at #107 and I'm getting all the trades.{Morrisin,Waid and Kelly.}I going to start with GL with Rebirth.But I also want to get some Flash and Old GL.So I have 2 Questions.


1.What issue did Geoff Johns start his run on Flash?Is it as good as people say?

2.What issue did Judd Winnick start his GL run?I loved his Recent Batman arc and would like to see what he did with GL.Was it as good as his Batman arc?

 

[Supergirl]

I'm not sure what issue it started with but Johns Flash run is nothing short of perfect

Winick's Lantern arc is what brought me back into comics. It was perfect. Better than his Batman and that says alot. Winick is my favorite writer and right now anything he touches turns to gold his run started with 129 and ran through 164

Get it all! You will not regret it.

Also if you like Winick I suggest you get the Outsiders and Green Arrow. Just get the whole run of GA its worth it. If you need a cheap way to get any of this PM me. I can help

 

[venom892]

Alright thaks alot.I want to get all the winnick Gl trades.Also want to get all the Johns Flash trades.Can anyone list all those trades for me?

 

[Supergirl]

New Journey, Old Path
