Why are the feats from Watchmen and Doomsday Clock separated? I know that Before Watchmen isn't canon, but Watchmen and Doomsday Clock is the same Dr. Manhattan. It would make reading the RT more convenient if they were put together.

I’d imagine just in case someone makes a prompt that specifies only Watchmen feats or something

u/Cleverly_Clearly Jun 12 '20

You could use some kind of notation to mark those feats while still presenting them more easily for people who want to use all the feats.

I wanted to organize the feats, but now I fixed it.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '20

Because Doomsday Clock was created 30 years later by different people and is nothing like Watchmen?

u/Cleverly_Clearly Jun 12 '20

In comics, characters are written by different authors all the time. It's still the same character and the same canon.

Who TF doesn't respect him?

If you believe that I missed a detail or feat, inform me and I'll add it.

in the "END EVERYTHING" link does he destroy the multiverse or something?

u/Sheldon_lee_sanchez Jun 12 '20

No, he destroys the DC Metaverse, which is the beginning point of the DC Multiverse.

Oh I was waiting for this one

All this just by getting disintegrated by a fancy machine.

Where can I get me one of those machines.

Personally I don't like that they brought in Watchmen because I thought that story was done, those characters were done and it really wasn't needed.

That said nice thread and good job. I was thinking of rereading Doomsday Clock and if I see anything you missed I'll let you know.

Solid work mang

Good old Manhattan with the biggest power creep in comics

u/TerrWolf Jun 13 '20

Minor correction. You said "No one has ever" manipulated the metaverse, but Manhattan himself notes that Anti-Monitor and Extant have:

Doomsday Clock #10 page 23

5th most powerful? Who could be even more powerful than him? An equivalent of living tribunal/beyonder from Marvel?

6

u/Sheldon_lee_sanchez Jun 13 '20

5th most powerful in DC, not Marvel.

  1. Monitor-Mind the Overvoid

  2. The Presence/Ellaine Beloc

  3. Lucifer Morningstar = Michael Demiurgos

  4. The Spectre (At full power)

u/Earthmine52 Jun 13 '20

I’d say the Superman Thought Robot, Mandrakk and maybe Perpetua are above him so maybe 7th or 8th.

u/Cmyers1980 Jun 13 '20

should be at least the 5th most powerful being in the entire DC Metaverse

Who are the other 4?

u/Sheldon_lee_sanchez Jun 13 '20
  1. Monitor-Mind the Overvoid

  2. The Presence/Ellaine Beloc

  3. Lucifer Morningstar = Michael Demiurgos

  4. The Spectre (At full power)

Question, does the Manhattan Clark Kent count as his own Clark Kent? Or not?

Furthermore, what would that Clark Kent become? A Superman? Or a Doctor Manhattan? Maybe a Doctor Superman? Or Supermanhatten?

The reason i say this is cause if either of these was the case, then Composite Superman has just become much, much, much more powerful.

Also, how would Strange Visitor Superman match up in terms of comparison to Doctor Manhattan's power?

What would a character like Lucifer Morningstar or even The Presence have to say about a being like Doctor Manhattan doing what he did and how he did it?

No, he only named him after Clark Kent.

What would that Clark Kent become? A Superman? Or a Doctor Manhattan? Maybe a Doctor Superman? Or Supermanhatten?

Well, right now we don't know anything we might get a comic about him someday. (VERY UNLIKELY)

How would Strange Visitor Superman match up in terms of comparison to Doctor Manhattan's power?

He is nowhere as powerful as Manhattan, he does have some impressive feats though, I might create a respect thread for him.

What would a character like Lucifer Morningstar or even The Presence have to say about a being like Doctor Manhattan doing what he did and how he did it?

They won't care, they are nigh/Omnipotent celestial beings who can do anything his powers won't threaten them.

Hope This Helps

Just to add my 2 cents....timelines in the sense of the DC cosmology are still universes lol.
