>>106823535>The most poorly conceived characters in Prime Earth, I mean good lord. How powerful are they supposed to be? And how do they relate to the post-crisis earth Monitors anyhow?They are readers, motivated and quickened by stories - maybe they even need it to live.
How powerful they are is irrelevant. They can't, logically, interfere in the story since they aren't IN the story.
The one among them who did was basically destroyed by the experience. The implication being that the Monitor we knew was basically what was left of the 'original' Monitor that entered reality as a scout sent by the Overmonitor, and when he returned - I suppose when the Monitor died in COIE - he inspired the existence of a whole race of Monitors, who from that moment on had always existed.
>>106823577>is the World Forger or Dark Multiverse, akin to the First Firmament?Actually he's more like the Celestials. He doesn't so much make universes as that he hammers them into shape as they emerge from the Forge, IIRC.
