Before you guys complain or circlejerk about powerlevelz, this isn’t actually Hulk.
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Eldest_(Earth-616)
It’s a Demon who ripped Banner out from Hulk and started wearing the skin and calling herself Hulk. Banner is on vacation with Betty.

I can still bitch because TOAA shouldn't really be involved in fucking fights. Retarded modern writers really don't understand cosmic and should just stay away from it.
>>
>>152809354
TOAA
im gonna guess that means "the one above all"
like in dc. so now hulk is just gonna fight the god of ALL creation itself?

Yes, TOAA, or The One Above All is the supreme being- and the creator of all of Marvel that all other cosmic beings (including the Living Tribunal) bows to.

But the fight is peculiar because there is this being that fought TOAA in the past called the Mother of Horrors. She lost, but was able to retreat and hide. She's now possessing the Hulk, who is an avatar of The One Below All (who is the opposite TOAA, but still the same being).

So it will be an interesting fight.
>>
>>152809552
See this is what I don't like.

If you're almighty then that should mean that:

i) no beings,
ii) no objects,
iii) no processes, and
iv) no combination thereof

should be able to pose a threat to you.

So if (You) are almighty it shouldn't really matter whether all the cosmic beings of the multiverse plots against you for aeons combining the most powerful artifacts of existence, and waiting for the exact moment where (You) are at your weakest; they still wouldn't be able to thwart your power.

That's not exactly right. The backstory of it goes like this
>TOAA makes the universe, including Earth
>He doesn't create one thing, the Mother of Horror, who just appeared one day, found earth and started corrupting primal gods and spawning monsters herself
>TOAA found out and went to check it out, the Mother infected him with a darkness,creating the One Below All
>This makes TOAA biblically angry and he basically becomes TOBA (who represents his destructive side) to hurt the Mother and kill all her spawns but one (called Eldest) who runs away and hide. The Mother he cannot kill so he locks her away in an alternate dimension, with TOBA acting as the guardian making sure she stays locked up
>Eldest, the only surviving child of the Mother, tries to free her sometimes during antiquity but TOBA destroys him for trying and he's also sealed away
>In Immortal Hulk (2018), the Hulk seals TOBA away, preventing him from actually guarding the seal
>In the 2023 Hulk run, Eldest is freed, and at the end of the run he manages to possesses Hulk's body which is the key to open the seal, but when he goes to free his mother he realizes she died in her box, so he consumes her and gains her power
>Cue current Infernal Hulk run where Eldest is the self-proclaimed King of Monsters or some equivalent title and is trying to raise an army to kill every human.

Now the backstory is a bit silly because yeah, TOAA is supposed to be above these kind of powerwanking plays, but remember
>The backstory of TOAA and the MoM is not necessarily "what truly happened" as it is told to Hulk by another character, who themselves got things wrong (as they assumed the MoM was still alive when she had died long ago)
>The run is heavily influenced by gothic horror / lovecraftian stories which typically downplay or outright remove the influence of God
>>
The One Below All did nothing wrong.

Giving TOAA long hair was a mistake
Ayodele's Storm was a mistake
May it be hit with the biggest retcon nuke of a lifetime

>>152810883
How does any of this work in a multiverse? Is this happening everywhere?
>>
>>152809354
Cool, cool, very Spawn of them.
>>
>>152810971
I believe that in these kind of cosmic events it's better to assume that yes it happens everywhere in the multiverse unless it's mentioned otherwise, but as of now it doesn't really matter, as the story hasn't really gotten further along than planetary scale at most.
>>
>>152810883
heh, MoM
>>
>>152810945
Will be hilarious to see the look on the Stormtroopers' faces when Storm jobs to Eldest and becomes her bitch after the entire War Above All shit that Ayodele was building up to never ends up happening now that Storm's comic is not getting extended

TOAA is considered weaker than DC presence or Now the insanity that is King Omega Superman and Darkeseid.
Still alll of them jobs to Wally West, because God himself loves speedsters and mainly him.
>>
>>152809354
Jobbing as much as Galactus nowadays. Starlin opened this door. Ewing kept it open and here are the consequences.

Ewing did an ok job using TOAA but that's because he used him sparingly and mostly in indirect ways or by referencing the Bible or the Kabbalah, and when he actually shows up he doesn't do anything, he just spells out the theme of the story so everyone is caught up then leave. He did it again in the Immortal Thor where TOAA's only there to create the first gods and impregnate Gaia.

The best stories (or issues, really) that use TOAA always have him be above the cosmology stuff of Marvel, completely removed from it as is fitting for something that is also meant to be "the author" in a meta sense, not in the middle of it. Him showing up to fight Eldest qualify as "the middle of it" so I don't have high hope, the entire preview give a very Preacher feel too. Apparently some leaks said that it's more of a draw and that TOAA will leave a macguffin spear to kill Eldest, but if you ask me that's already too much

Nah. TOAA is still stronger.

Nah. They were just universe level.

Both of those fags lost to Godzilla. Now fuck off and die

>>152811611
>Lost to godzilla
Because Toho are overprotective cucks.
Even with the NGE crossover Godzilla had to be unkillable and OP.
>>
It always depends how they sell it. It's not a good start, but in current Marvel lore, Hulk is essentially the protected child of The One Below All, who is The One Above All's equal and opposite. If you push absolutely hard on something from two perfectly opposite directions it stays right where it is. At least that's how I'd try to play it to excuse why TOAA doesn't just "lol, lmao" and deletes the entire plot.
>>
>There are still RETARDS here who think TOAA is actually the true god of marvel
Fools.
>>
I'm hoping it goes like how the ancient fight was described. he just shows up and makes it something else's problem while not actually getting his hands dirty.
if it's an actual brawl then I express nothing but disappointment towards PKJ.

>>There are still RETARDS here who think TOAA is actually the true god of marvel

He is. It's confirmed in the handbooks.

VSBW getting retarded with vague references to "God" thinking it's something different are just coping.

TOAA is God, TOAA is the Creator, and so on.

When every extant Abstract complained to the Living Tribunal about TOAA even allowing the infinity gems to be accessible and used by someone like Thanos to disrupt their rule he told them to mind their fucking tone and accept that if despite all their boons they slacked enough to allow the events to transpire they weren't fit for their positions and shouldn't ask their superiors to clean up after every mess of theirs.

Contrived of a hand wave as it was for Starlin to allow things to occur in IG it was still one of the best scenes as examples of how things run. TLT and TOAA can solve every problem, but they shouldn't need to nudge every single cog back in place.

The grand scheme and their affairs must be bigger than any one person or group's forgettable events on page or it becomes reduced to the scrawl within a panel like every other forgettable event.

Bendis, Ewing, Johnson, Ayodele and ironically even Starlin writing it so two figureheads older than existence and above all microscopic flickers within it ever get personally involved with trivial shit leads precisely to that. The once pointedly unknowable is now as small and floundering as Speedball's antics leading to Civil War and Penance, i.e. shallow, melodramatic, disposable.

There is no need for the architects of reality to have opinion on Beast or Storm's antics, another super ultimate mega demon like Knull that's totes way more evil and dangerous than Mephisto, another flaccid attempt to map out the mystery of existence or Thanos going on another even more final power trip.

It isn't hype, it isn't aura, there's a reason none of us have any of those pages in mind most days but everyone retained the relevance of TOAA despite scant appearances.

tl;dr this shit gonna be so ass, bro.
