General DC Comics Discussion Thread

 
Since when could Beast Boy turn into a swam of animals?

@Deagonx @Elizio33 @Antvasima
I have a question regarding the Morrison/Snyder/Tynion DC cosmology. Currently, the Orrery is rated as 2-C for containing 52 universes and Hypertime as 2-A for containing infinite timelines. The Sphere of the Gods and Collective Unconscious, meanwhile, are rated as 2-C, with the rationale being that they exist on a plane of reality superior to the regular universes, but not by enough to warrant qualitative superiority. With this in mind, why don't the SOTG and CI scale to Hypertime's 2-A rating?
 
I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but I will say that the order is not strictly hierarchical. The mention of Hypertime is placed immediately after the Orrery in order to explain the timeline situation promptly after explaining the universe situation. I am neutral.
 
Thank you for your input. I think that it is best if we wait for Elizio33 though.
 
I wonder if this is ok to post here
 
For the record I'm trying to include only stuff he has without prep time as prep feats are less important since they aren't as useful in a VS thread
 
Hey, I just wanted to give my 2 cents on something. So I was looking over the recent staff discussion, and one of the herald feats was characters potentially scaling to the phantom zone. This was even considered one of the more "straightforward" feats among both supporters and dissidents, with the phantom zone having statements for being infinite in size. But honestly, I'm starting to disagree that it warrants high 3-A.

So, this is the statement for the phantom zone being infinite, and let me quote it verbatim.
This unregion of infinitely compressed space is known by countless names.
So here's my major gripe. The whole point of feats on this wiki that deal with "infinite" anything is that characaters can scale to notions that span infinitely far, vast, or high. However, the phantom zone is described as an "unregion of infinitely compressed space." This seems like the opposite of spanning infinitely wide, no? If the phantom zone is infinitely compressed, that means that rather than its substance spanning infinite outwards, its space actually folds in on itself infinitely. Even googling "compressed space relativity," all I can find are articles about the fabric of space-time curving in on itself. I honestly don't think a realm being stated to be compressed infinitely holds the same connotations as this wiki's notions of high 3-A, which describes spaces that are infinitely expansive.

One of the supporting evidences for high 3-A phantom zone is how it's described as an anti-universe, implying that it shares enough characteristics with a normal universe to warrant a distinction (likely universal size), but I think this statement suggests the opposite. When you combine that fact with how the phantom zone was stated to be "dimensionless," along with how it's called an "unregion," I think everything considered, the phantom zone is a spaceless, timeless void with no tierable value. These are just my thoughts, of course.

@Emirp sumitpo What do you think about this?
 
Does anyone know why The Writer was removed from this wiki?
Because, according to Ant, it was "borderline speculative fanfiction"; as far as I know, it doesn't appear in any comics, and its only basis for existing was an interview where Grant Morrison commented that he always imagined DC Comics as a tiny flaw someone drew on the Overvoid, which is far too flimsy for that "someone" to even have a profile at all, let alone to infer an all-powerful "Writer" who sees the Overvoid as fiction or any of its abilities.
