The day before yesterday, Little Scourge wrote an article about DR Manhattan, DC's battle ceiling character, saying that he was second only to the four supreme gods of God, The Lord Watcher, Source, and Pralaiya.
Many friends in the article under the message mentioned the giant beast, in fact, the small disaster is ready to mention the giant beast in the next few "DC multiverse basic framework" articles, but there is a friend's message small disaster really can't stand it, so today the small disaster to introduce the strength and status of the giant beast in the DC universe.
Netizen message
Although the strength of the giant fierce beast is strong, it does not surpass the ghost, and he does not represent the darkness in the DC Universe, and his status cannot be compared with God.

The Great Evil Beast only appeared in the 1986 manga Swamp Monster v2#49-50. In other comics, the depiction of the giant beast is basically a recollection and retelling of the events of these two manga issues.
Giant beasts
For example, in the 1988 comic strip Secret Origins V2#27, Zatana's origins are depicted, describing his father Zatara's death at the hands of the Beast during the Beast Incident.
Zatana recalls the giant beast when her father was killed
The Monster Incident occurred during the Infinite Earth Crisis, when a cult called Brujeria summoned the Beast in the hope that it would destroy Heaven and reshape the world.
At this time swamp monster and John. Konstantin discovers the awakening of the beast and summons the heroes of the DC Department of Magic to join forces with some angels in heaven and some demons in hell to stop the beast.
The heroes are divided into two groups and split heads, with heroes such as swamp monsters, dead people, Doctor Destiny, Phantom Strangers, and demon Edrigan preventing the giant beast from marching to heaven, while heroes such as Constantine, Sagun, and Zatara sit around a round table and hold hands to cast spells to stop the giant beast. Although this group of heroes cast spells from a distance, they were killed by the giant beast, sagun and Zatara, two heroes.
Heroes such as Constantine and Zatara cast spells against giant beasts
On the other hand, none of the heroes who stopped the giant beast in front of them died. The Giant Beast asked the heroes who stopped him a question, "What is the meaning of its existence?" The demon Etrigan, Dr. Destiny, and the ghost gave the answer one after another, and the giant fierce beast was not satisfied, defeating and injuring them.
At this time, the swamp monster entered the darkness and explained to the giant beast that "good and evil, darkness and light define each other, and one side disappears and the other does not exist." The beast received a satisfactory answer and held out his hand to heaven, and God also extended his hand to hold the hand with the hand of the beast.
The beast shook hands with God
There are three points to be aware of, which will be explained in detail later.
The first point is that this event occurred during the "Infinite Earth Crisis" and is a small episode of the "Infinite Earth Crisis".
The second point is that the giant beast and God shake hands, but simply represent the coexistence of darkness and light, and have nothing to do with strength and status. In fact, the giant beast does not represent the darkness of the DC Universe, and its status cannot be compared with God, which will be explained in detail later.
The third point is that in all the comics, in addition to defeating the ghost, the giant beast does not have any super performance, and the real strength of the ghost is not lower than that of the giant beast, and he is defeated by the giant beast for objective reasons, which will be explained in detail later.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > the true strength of the giant beast</h1>
The best of all the performances of the Giant Beast is to defeat the Ghost, but in the 1987 comic book Ghost V2#1 it is clearly written that the Ghost has unlimited power but cannot be used, and he could have stopped the Beast. The ghosts were also banished for this punishment by God.
The ghost has the power to stop the giant beast
The reason for this is that at the time of the Monster Event, the DC Universe was experiencing the major event "Infinite Earth Crisis", one of the branches called "Last Days of the Justice Society", in which the ghost was divided into two parts, in which the Buddha-figure or the most powerful twin led the Justice Society through another Timeline of World War II to fight against Hitler, who possessed the Spear of Destiny and slaughtered all the superheroes in the world.
The last day of the Justice Society
A small part of the power of the doppelganger remained in the main universe to fight against the giant beast, that is to say, the giant beast defeated only the doppelganger with a small part of the power of the ghost. This has been demonstrated in several formula manuals published by DC.
The reason why the ghost lost to the giant beast
Whether it is DC or Marvel heroes and villains, the battle between them is very accidental, and there are many factors that affect the outcome, not just strength. However, in the narration, it is clearly written that the ghost with complete strength can stop the giant fierce beast, then it is clearly set that the strength of the ghost is equal to the giant fierce beast, and there is no accidental factor.
And the power of the ghost is clear in the DC universe, although it is very powerful, but it is too far away from restarting the universe at every turn and being able to defeat Dr. Manhattan of the creation goddess Perpetua.
In the previous article, it was introduced that Dr. Manhattan himself restarted the DC Multiverse, the Laughing Bat with manhattan power restarted the DC Multiverse once and defeated the creator of the DC Universe, Perpetua, and Wally West, who has the Power of Manhattan, also wanted to restart the universe, but it was too late.
At present, Dr. Manhattan's performance in the DC Universe is a lone loser, not losing once, and defeating nearly a hundred superheroes at once.
Comparing the performance of the ghosts in "Judgment Day", not only can not defeat many superheroes but also get injured.
The ghost is injured by the heroes
The record against the high-level power ghosts is also not outstanding, being easily defeated by the Joker in the "Emperor Clown" incident, and being killed by Darkseid in the latest "Infinite Margin".

The strength of all the ghosts and Dr. Manhattan is not comparable at all, and the previous article has shown that the strength of the giant beast is not stronger than that of the ghost, and it cannot be compared with Dr. Manhattan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > the true identity and status of the giant beast</h1>
After talking about strength, let's take a look at the true identity and strength of the giant fierce beast. The first thing to explain is that the giant beast does not represent the darkness in the DC Universe, and its status cannot be compared with God.
In the 2015 manga "Justice League of Darkness" #39-40, the supreme god name Pralaiya appears, and when The Lady Shangdu and other heroes say that she is the "Goddess of the Void", she is refuted by her, which is an insult to her, she says that she is "the darkness before the light of creation", she is the "invisible blank", "God unconscious", "Brahma Sea", she is the source of all things, and everything will eventually return to her.
The darkness before The Creation of Pralaiya
Pralaiya is introduced in "The Supreme God of the DC Multiverse: A Detailed Explanation of the DC Multiverse Framework (IV)" written by Xiao Di, Pralaiya and God, the Source, and the Main Watcher are the supreme gods in the DC Multiverse, and even these four gods are likely to be one and many sides of the same existence, and Pralaiya is the true darkness of the DC Universe
So what is the relationship between the giant beast and Pralaia? In the 2018 comic book "Justice League dark" V2#3, there is a paragraph that describes "it is the abyss, it is the dark world, it is the great darkness", "Constantine has witnessed its power, when a piece of darkness that broke free of the shackles almost ignited the whole heaven".
The giant beast was just a dark fragment of Pralaia
This passage refers to the event when the giant beast wants to conquer heaven, and the giant beast is just a dark fragment of the great darkness.
In fact, darkness is an abstract concept, as long as the villain with the dark attribute can be said to be a fragment of darkness or the like, the giant beast also has a specific identity.
After the publication of the 2019 comic strip Lucifer V3#10, one of the pages caused a big stir on the Internet, which also depicted Lucifer and many of his doppelgangers, and one of the doppelgangers only revealed a giant gray claw.
Lucifer and numerous doppelgangers
On Twitter many people took screenshots and alighted the author Don. Waters, asking if the giant claw was a giant beast or if the giant beast was Lucifer's doppelganger.
Here's a little woe that took two screenshots of Twitter, one of which was called Gislane. Domingos's netizens asked Don if Lucifer's back hand was a giant beast, and Don replied that "he is a member of the Legion."
Twitter screenshots
Another netizen named Matt asked Don, I want to know what kind of hand Behind Lucifer is? Is it a giant beast? Don's answer was "He is".
All the beasts are one of Lucifer's many doppelgangers. This also explains why the strength of the giant fierce beast is not stronger than that of the ghost, a doppelganger has such strength, Lucifer is already very good.
In summary, the Beast is not the Ultimate Darkness of the DC Universe, he is a dark fragment of the Ultimate Dark Pralaia of the DC Universe, and he is also one of Lucifer's many doppelgangers. In terms of status and strength, the giant beast cannot be compared with God.
In terms of strength, although the giant beast defeated the ghost, DC officials clearly pointed out that the ghost was only a clone with a small part of the ghost's abilities, and most of the abilities were against Hitler, who mastered the spear of destiny. A ghost with full power can stop the giant beast, that is to say, it is not weaker than the giant beast.
