General DC Comics Discussion Thread

I'd like to know the tier of something being able to face tank pistol shots point blank and being resistant to military guns (it seems to be rifles) Here's the stuff btw
It even carries over across continuity (parademon stuff for new 52 and rebirth should be the same as they're the cyborg variants but there's also the stuff of the New 52 being a rogue timeline that's been reabsorbed by mainline. They're also the second strain of parademons used next to the purple ones in current dc)
 
Well, 1-A still doesn't make sense based on what was shown in the linked scans. Superhero stories with many hundreds of different writers are extremely inconsistent, and The Rock of Eternity was apparently treated as a physical object in this one. 🙏
Artistic license
 
Ah that explains a bit. So would it be limited invulnerability to piercing weapons?
Invulnerability requires confirmation that your immune to harm not just highly durable, piercing can be withstood through plain durability even if we don’t calculate it

Why would it be illogical for Shazam to perform this feat after being amped by its magic? I really don't see how its a contradiction, and with that logic, we should remove 1-A Anti-Crisis Wonder Woman just because her base self isn't stronger than Superman

If it’s with amp, then there’s no problem. At least it’s not like the Marvel profiles, where characters are Tier 1-A and it’s not even clear where the feat originates from. You’re just redirected from one profile to another, and in the end, you still can’t understand the reason why the characters are considered 1-A

Artistic license
Yes, but artistic license in terms of enormously powering down what would be required to perform the feat in question. Suddenly setting a normally 2-C flying brick superhero as 1-A, which completely contradicts the scaling for the entire verse, is not remotely logically reasonable. 🙏

Shazam is always empowered by magic from the Rock of Eternity as far as I am aware, and here it had also descended to a much lower level of reality, which canonically powers it down enormously according to how DC Comics cosmology officially functions. This is like scaling Superman and other superheroes to 1-A for being able to fight against the New Gods descended from their godhead states. 🙏

Yes. They should be powered down a lot. But the fan stonewalling is extremely strong whenever I bring it up. 🙏
 
Superheroes should never be rated as high as 1A unless they have some external power ups . This is not a Marvel page but baseline Thor being 1A is an outlier as well especially fear itself says Rune king Thor only effected the baseline yggdrasill instead of true yggdrasill

As I said 3x already, Shazam had an external powerup

He'd still need to push it back to its original plane of reality.

it doesn’t contradict the scaling of the entire verse because he was amped

The only thing that I can think of where that’s the case is kosmos and molecule man, everyone else that’s 1-A scales to the astral plane directly or indirectly

Shazam is always powered by the rock of eternity but he gets a lot more of it’s power post 2023

Thor is literally a god, and over 50% elder god, his 1-A is far from unreasonable especially with how consistent it is that he holds back a lot and how many 1-A feats he has, and affecting ygsradil isn’t even close to his only 1-A feat and what does baseline ygsradil even mean and where in there does it say he only affected baseline ygsradil

I know someone mentioned this before but Marvel and DC both have so many 1-A—+ disqualifier instances we just ignore for aesthetic big tier reasons. There’s no real consistency here, it’s just that Marvel has more 1-As applied because supporters are more active.
 
Emmanations =/= Godhead forms. The 2 aren't even related to Shazam's case
It is the same principle of a higher level of existence descending and being automatically depowered in DC's standard manner. 🙏

Which doesn't matter at all for such an extreme tier, and it was too temporary to warrant a key according to our rules anyway. 🙏

Yes, strongly agreed. We are cherry-picking extreme outliers to upscale the characters to ridiculous extremes. 🙏

An entire key was never granted anyways? It just says "at peak" due to it being a one issue amp

Will copy paste my response to this:

He'd still need to push it back to its original plane of reality.
