No, he is the idea of people turning against the idea of stories, for a plethora of reasons
He is the idea that people turn stories into meaningless things
He is the idea that people will reject stories and their sharing, thus ending fictional worlds
Empty Hand
>grant morrison meta power levels

Funny guy. He is basically the end of all, whether the heroes triumph, evil prevails, or chaos continues, he will be there to lend the last word that will perpetually end everything that once had a meaning. I doubt he would even fight on his own, he doesn't need to, that's what the Gentry is for. In a way you could say he at the very top of the chain along with The Writer for what he represents, but you know this is something that will never be explicitly shown.
Isn't he a metaphor? Why'd you have to drag something like that into a powerlevel pissing contest?
>was there ever something close to a consensus to where he sits on the cosmology?
Evidently not.
I view him as an intercosmic predator.
They should out him as the reason why Perpetua created the Multiverse as a weapon: to kill him. THAT is why he needed to assess whether the Multiverse was dangerous: because it might be.
Why does Perpetua hate him?
Because they used to date.
Reminder that caring about power levels is playing into the Empty Hands game.
Reminder getting obsessed with details and ignoring the message welcomes the Gentry into your head.
Reminder power level fags are a cancer.
Well, they recently gave the Source a really.
Really.
REALLY fucking massive leapfrog in metaphysical authority, up to implied judgement over /all/ fiction and having created the Source Wall to close the DC multiverse off from the "greater omniverse" beyond the scope of Perpetua's creation i.e. the DC multiverse. Like, the whole current crisis of Perpetua's scheme actually revolves around all such multiverses being subject to the Source's judgement and annihiliation if they aren't sufficiently justicey enough. Which raises some odd questions about what those DC/Marvel crossovers actually were, but the point is: The Source appears to be pulling double duty as the end AND the beginning of comics, and if I've learned anything from DC it's that creation > destruction once creation starts fighting smart.
Well, The One Below All in Marvel is practically both
I literally didn't get a word of what you said
Still sounds cool tho
It's giving me an aneurysm trying to explain it desu. Easier to read the current Justice League's issue #22 and decide for yourself desu, but all you really need to know is in the Source's eyes Perpetua was meant to be a one-off finite thing
Forgot the pic I saved for this post
The empty hand doesnt create, it destroys and bastardizes. It tears down just to reiterate the concept again, changed so it is under its control. The empty hand brings nothing, holds nothing with which work, it only destroys, it is never filled. It is supported by archtypes with which the empty hand makes a throne out of what was already there, appropriating, destroying, distorting and ultimately controlling.
Is it DC editorial? The corporation itself?
