Question
was Gog in the dc mini series kingdom more powerful then the quintessance combined who gave him his powers? I have heard he had become more powerful then they are is this true?
Hi, Raul,
Thanks for your question!
No, Gog was not more powerful than the Quintessence as a whole, however, because of the combined powers he was granted, he would have been able to overcome any of the individual members of the quintessance or their proteges in one-on-one battle.
Neither Shazam, Ganthet, Zeus, Izaya/Highfather or the Phantom Stranger could necessarily be called "Team Players" in any given situation except the one that created Gog in the first place. Shazam, Zeus and Highfather have always overseen everything that they have been involved in, Ganthet was part of a collective, but he was the most "individual" member of the Guardians and the Phantom Stranger is a mystery unto himself and has never really given anyone the idea that he wanted to be part of a team.
As was shown, a real Team working together would be able to defeat Gog.
Hope that's helpful - please let me know if there is anything else I can answer for you!
Pax, harmonia,
