Unmatched Peculiarities: Which Fictional Universe Would Be Unbeatable if Perturbed by Maximum Potential?
The concept of a fictional universe burgeoning with untouchable and unbeatable power is a tantalizing one. This article explores the potential of various fictional universes if they were to harness their full, often unexplored, potential. We will delve into the captivating examples of the Doctor Who universe, fantasy realms, and the cosmic horror of the Cthulhu Mythos, all to determine if any of these universes could truly be unbeatable.
The Doctor Who Universe: A Peculiar Blend of Power and Weakness
Doctor Who, featuring one of the less powerful Time Lords, has inadvertently thwarted numerous Omnipotent adversaries. Characters like Rassilon and Omega, the most powerful Time Lords, have the intimidating ability to strip away the powers of omnipotent beings and erase them from time and existence, all within the confines of their home planet. This raises the intriguing question: What if the Doctor and his universe reached their full potential?
Fantasy Universes: Magic and Swordplay Galore
Fantasy realms, with their adherence to few strict rules, represent another tantalizing possibility. Universes such as those featured in the Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings, and Dragonlance, each with its own blend of magic and swordplay, seem ripe for a conflict with unmatched power. Envision a coalition of wizards and witches, harmonized and united. This collective magical prowess could render even the most formidable opponents impotent.
The Lord of the Rings' Unified Front
The Lord of the Rings universe lacks a cohesive revolutionary front until the threat of Sauron becomes imminent. However, the potential for a united front in such a universe is significant. Similarly, Canonic magical entities in other universes, like the Hulk or Green Lantern, rely on intense emotions or willpower for their abilities. These magical and emotional-based powers operate within specific rules and would face challenges in an interface with a completely new set of guidelines.
Machine and Gag Manga Interlopers
Characters like Jigglypuff from the Pokemon anime, Arale from Dr. Slump, and Excession from Excession, despite being powerful within their own universes, bring their specific rulesets and limited abilities to the mix. A machine like Excession might offer a unique challenge, but its limitations would eventually be recognized.
The Cthulhu Mythos: Cosmic Horror and Untouchable Darkness
When considering universes with the most significant potential for darkness and power, the Cthulhu Mythos stands out. This universe, centered around the concept of cosmic horror and the awakening of Blind Idiot Gods, presents a scenario where any resistance would dissolve. In 2000, Ran Cartwright explored such a scenario, laying the groundwork for an entire class of speculative fiction.
The Absolute Draw: Omniscience vs. Omniscience
No matter the universe, a direct confrontation between two omnipotent entities would result in a draw, as their power sets are balanced. Despite this, the creation of new rules and universes remains a possibility, allowing for a fresh start and untold adventures.
