Ehhhh…I’m not buying it personally. Again, remember Shuma-Gorath escaped right in front of the group that just defeated the group. Including Storm. Why would he feel anymore safe? Plus, he could’ve just dimensionally traveled outta there anytime he wanted
I’d remove the scaling bits to Shuma, as again, it highly contradicts the scaling chain. Literally. If a guy like Spider-Man (with one ally) can beat Onslaught, then it would make no sense for Shuma-Gorath to be FAR above him despite there being loads of evidence saying he is. We should add a note regarding Shuma’s story inclusion:
“Note: While Apocalypse seemingly captured Shuma-Gorath, the latter is known to hold back his powers, finding them too precious to waste on many opponents. Furthermore, he escaped without any assistance and had multiple other ways of escaping himself. All of this implies that Shuma-Gorath was not making an attempt to fight back, meaning Apocalypse would not outright scale to him.”
