The fact that Dormammu calls this guy master says something.
What run was that in? Keen to read it
Oh damn
Oblivion I don’t know if he says that in a comic book, but in the video game ultimate marvel vs capcom 3, if the two opponents put Dormammu and Shuma-Gorath first, Dormammu calla him master. It’s pretty cool and the video game had to get that from somewhere, but I’m sorry, I don’t know from where.
My guess if they ever decided to explained this it be dormamu before he got his powers and the dark dimension he sought out shuma gorath to gain power alongside his sister from shuma gorath itself
Nice
I like how hes not defined by his power but rather defined by the unquestionable fear he brings everytime tries to make a move.
VenomPureEvil its mere presence is enough for anyone in Earth’s realm to close the portal between its world and ours immediately.
Yup, and that's precisely why Dormammu is usually considered Strange's greatest villain and biggest threat- because he's actually a constant. Shuma-Gorath is presumably so much more powerful than he rarely appears as a treat as a result for story reasons. If he appeared more often, he'd surely be considered Strange's greatest foe. Heck, the legends around his power are why there are artifacts designed specifically to banish him should he threaten to appear
How did Mephisto banished him, Dormammu, and Satannish into the abyss in Doctor Strange?
@@orkoskang7967 Plot.
He’s really only powerful inside his dimension.
The creator of Conan, Robert E Howard was actually friends with HP lovecraft and they respected eachothers work so much that they hid easter eggs of eachothers stories in their own works and confirmed that they are both the same universe (Canon)....this means Shuma-Gorath is actually a lovecraftian horror similar to cthulu.
Does that mean the Many Angled Ones are related to Cthulhu and The Great Old Ones
Shuma Gorath is the marvel equivalent of Cthulhu, a cosmic terror. The parallels of Shuma and Lovecraftian lore is definitely there.
"Because Comics" needs to be on a shirt lol
I would buy that for a dollar
Yes
Yeah it does 😎
Trailer drake has one I believe
Yep.
He seems to be a version to Yog- Sothoth from H.P Lovecraft.
people should really read more Lovecraft, it's very creative. I'm all for anything Lovecraftian minus Nick Cage lol
K. Ten`mo idk man nick cage hits that madness thing to perfection. Lol
@@KTenmo Yeah I saw that movie it was a mess.
thats what i was thinking too.
sidenote: my cat's name is Cthulhu. 😹
He seems like it because Robert E Howard created him to expand upon the Cthulhu Mythos. He and Lovecraft were friends.
The main reason he was added to the Marvel vs Capcom fighting game roster is because he's a tentacle monster.
And the Japanese really love tentacle monsters.
😒
Nope,not at all.
Rob: "Shuma Gorath is the strongest force for evil in all of existence."
The One Below All: "That's Cute."
CharizardCommander who is that?? You mean the one above all????!!!!
Willie Leon Immortal Hulk has revealed that the one below all is the dark counterpart to the One above all and is responsible for all the Gamma mutates and their apparent immortality
Based on what is established so far for both of them, more likely Shuma beats TOBA.
TOBA is seeking out Immortal Hulk like he _needs_ him, Shuma needs no one.
@@3rdfitzgerald Absolutely stupid and total fanwanking. Im not a fan of these "symbiotes were created by that unholy this, and gamma monsters were created by unholy that". it's so fkn stupid, it's DC level of creative stupidity.
@@alissa6 I know, damn. I'm sick and tired of all these Big Huge, Cosmic Story Arcs, with all these cosmic entities and principalities, the abstract concepts, basically taking on human form. Perpetua this, source wall that, Spawn becomes god ???
It's moronic. I can't identify with any of it. And, all the "Let's just make variants of stuff that's already here! We're so smart! Orange Lanterns, and Invisible Lanterns and, and plaid lanterns! oh yeah, all these different kinds of Flashes, and Speed Force, and Still Force...
Well, how about some Originality Force? What I'd like to see is just characters being People! Kitty Pryde and Rachel Summers have to go on the most dangerous mission of all! Grocery shopping. The X-Men have to eat, right? Perfect opportunity to let the characters have a conversation, and show some human emotions. Stan Lee often did stuff like this. If these current "writers" have something super and cosmic happening in every panel, it's no longer super. And it gets boring and meaningless really quickly.
Likewise, I'm sick of the Hulk being completely unbeatable. There's no point to a comic book character with no weakness. I wanna see someone just shut his ass down, hard. Maybe Franklin Richards could fling Hulk into a black hole.
Gorath is pretty overpowered, the fact that Mephisto himself is like a "mouse in a temple" compared to his power
That's scary 😱
I mean both Mephisto and Dorrmammu consider him superior and fear him. That says a lot as it is.
@@nono9543 Yep and Dormammu is a Powerhouse. It's a testament to how monstrous Shuma truly is.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache bro are you mean from another universe jeezus literally EVERY video I see you
@@JayYoungs1992 Shuma has eaten dozens of universes. Has Minions that are Multiversal and makes Living tribunal afraid he's top five in Marvel
I think he's simply too powerful. He's one of those we must defeat him now, before he obtains the totality of his power.
it's more We must stop someone from summoning him. The second he shows up it's usually all over.
Well, don't let Goku or Vegeta know about it, or we're ALL doomed !
:)
@@OllyRoger I agree. All we need to know is that he is someone that needs to be defeated before he gets started, otherwise everyone is screwed. It also puts a sense of danger for the heros knowing this thing could show up at any moment and wipe everyone out.
To be honest he similar to darksied
@@MistahBryan I also heard he's unaffected by the infinity gauntlet
_"THE CHAOS DIMENSION!"_

Shuma-Gorath needs to be in Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness
@Dark Lord of da Communitah Mystic Smash!
I loved when he drained opponents of health to fill his life bar back up in Marvel Super Heroes.
“Waste of flesh!”
Shuma-Gorath is one of my favorite parts of Marvel, as he is one of the very few villains that is "unbeatable". They've done an amazing job not pulling the trigger on some villains and showing their "true power", which helps maintain how powerful they are. Lovecraft and those that followed made it a point that there were things out there too great and terrible to even understand that had form. Sometimes it is just better to keep things like that planted in stone for storytelling as you always feel a bit of despair in knowing something can never be beaten or dealt with.
I hope they do him justice in the MCU, phenomenal Dr. Strange villain.
Just make sure the justice isn't of the social variety, and it should be fine.
Hopefully done better than galactus.
champsammy13 what makes you think they will put him in the mcu?
There are some characters that are just too damn powerful for the MCU shuma gorath is the strongest of all, there's zero chance of him showing up in the MCU, in name only as an easter egg maybe but as a main antagonist? I don't see it happening
@@kianwhittle "I hope"
Its crazy how powerful this dude really is but ,I never respected him in MVC2 lol.
You would when you see me play him.
Haha, it's a very extreme case of a difference in story power level and gameplay power level. Shuma should be a ridiculously cheap boss character if his powers were accurately reflected in gameplay but that would be bad game design.
He is the confirmed villian in doctor strange 2 bro
@@Pootatoo752.....No 😟
This guy looks like the ungodly love child of starro and cthullu.
Its cthulu's father
jake hagelstein azathoth ?
Yes
No I'm sorry yogsatoth I do believe its spelled
jake hagelstein yogsothoth is a diff god. I believe Cthulhu’s father is Azathoth the god of ig gods in the hp lovecraft mythos. I could be wrong
I really like your narrative style. I don't read a lot of comic books and you cover a ton of information pretty quickly and concisely without losing your audience in details.
"He was put into Marvel Vs Capcom for some reason"
* laughs in japanese game development *
They choose a lot of characters not out of popularity or anything else but just if it seemed fun to put them in a fighting game
They wanted an "inhuman" designed character for the roster for the marvel super heroes arcade game 1997 (a character that isn't exactly humanoid in some way) and when Marvel gave Capcom an art book with a full gallery of so many characters, Capcom just chose him.
Shuma Gorath has nothing to do with the infinity gauntlet comic series but he was a pretty big deal for the doctor strange comics at the time and his design was pretty much enough to be "inhuman" like.
The one character Capcom absolutely wanted in Ultimate to the point they fought over his return.
Oh yeah, he is here for a damn good reason.
Chaos dimension!
How does someone with so many limbs not have enough feats?
Just Some Guy with a Mustache *wheeze*
Nice
Ay fancy seeing you here xD
Absolute legend
Feet?
No wonder earth needs a starbrand to protect it.
Things like Shuma-Gorath.
Oh yeah, just think of how horrible things will be if he even shows up. Hell, he is only sending a small piece of himself for now.
* Shuma finally appears in an MCU trailer *
The entire audience: "Oh My GoD lOoK iT's EvIl DoCtOr StRaNgE.!.!."
I've been waiting for this since marvel vs Capcom 2 lmao
Also I could never throw his eyes consistently in the game 😞
:(
@@fcm101284 I think Mystic Stare is a charge move so that might explain it. Charge moves were something I could never do.
Yes been wondering this shuma guy was
Those games made me think this guy was just a chump when in reality he was a god?
It’s also possible it has its roots in hp lovecraft’s work drirectly, since he worked alongside Howard’s during Conan’s first series of printings in weird tales. They both being ‘amateur’ writers at the time, in support of eachother they used a shared mythos; lovecraftian Gods in Conan stories, and similar cross over references in the lovecraft comics
Jahcoba M I’m just happy someone else in the RobCorps knows all this!
They literally call Shuma Gorath "elder God" so...
I'm thinking Shuma is Azathoth mashed with Nyarlathotep.
Out of all my years of being a marvel fan, I would never thought that shuma gorath would be omega level but after watching this, now i know.
Gabriel Borges he’d stomp Galactus without even blinking
He's one of the few "unbeatable". You can only prevent his entry, once he's in, there's no hope
Shuma Gorath is absolutely nuts.
An extradimensional eldritch tentacle monster who periodically runs with a gang-of-eldritch tentacle monsters who devour universes called the many angled ones and still on his own is insanely evil and powerful.
Finally, Shuma Gorath.......thank you bruh
Can Shuma Gorath defeat squirrel girl?
Shuma was my favorite character to play in the MvsC arcade
So basically he’s just a lovecraftian deity
he's like Lovecraft's two most central deities, Azathoth lord of the cosmos and Nyarlathotep the crawling chaos directly involved w mortals.
@@Jeton6 I just realised I was spelling nyarlathotep wrong this whole time

@@KTenmo ChAoS! cHaOs!
Edit: I apologize. I was actually thinking of "WELCOME TO.... THE CHAOS DIMENSION!"
He never says "Chaos! Chaos!"
Anyone, who's read HP Lovecraft, knows that Shuma Gorath is really an alternate form of one of the Old Gods in that mythos. His true form cannot be realized, because if it is realized, well, the effect would be similar to Cthulhu awakening and make everything go mad.
his true form could be the eldritch abomination that thanos stood up against
@@michaelkelley2727 I think thats supposed to be all 4 leaders of the many angled ones appearing to him at once, including shuma gorath
@@mr.revrac5602 it was just a gang of the many angled ones not shuma gorath
Bet this guy will the villain in doctor strange 2
U heard the rumors too
I hope whenever Marvel shows Shuma Gorath he does that weird cheeky pose he does in the MvC games
Yes! I was waiting for this FOR AGES!
Shuma-Gorath
The forgotten H.P. Lovecraft God
Maybe we can say that he is the Cthulhu of Marvel Comics
Been waiting for this. Thank you.
This was one of your better post. You usually get something wrong in regards to a character’s power level and history, but this was spot-on.
Been waiting for this one
@Lula 01 Now that's a good battle right there bud
I do always love seeing Lovecraft’s Yogsothory. Seeping into popular culture.
Finally it is here! The episode we have been waiting for! Thank you, Rob!
Finally the video that we have all been waiting for.
Finally Rob Thank you for this Shuma-Gorath!!!
Finally Shuma-Gorath got a Beyond Omega video.
As for the next candidate for Beyond Omega, I would like to see the Dweller in the Darkness.
That would be a great video! Dweller is underrated.

Haven't been on the channel in awhile, but he's done most of these.
Mad lad
this thing was in the after scene of spiderman no way home
Thanks Rob! Great stuff!
Shuma-Gorath has an interesting form of immortality. On the off chance someone gains the power to actually kill him, they will eventually become him. Even if you kill Shuma-Gorath, Shuma-Gorath will live again. It's actually rather terrifying
Hey Rob, can you do Beyond Omega Level, The Queen Of Nevers.

@@SonNguyen-ud5cm It's cool.
what's up Rob, I've been busy but that just gives me more time to binge your videos 😁 excelsior🖖🏽💪🏽
Finally a video on shuma, thanks.
Isn't Shuma Gorath inspired by the HP Lovecraft Cthulu stuff? Has Marvel done anything else exploring/inspired by the Cuthulu mythos? If so, that could be a cool series of videos.
Shumagorath has been inspired from H.P Lovecraft's cthulu mythos especially from the charecter shub nigorath
I sure love Shuma-Gorath. He is like my favorite tentacle monster you see in "that" kind of genre. I love him!
Thanks for this Rob
Y'all are gonna be coming here for WandaVison Next week.
not exactly....I think WandaVision will end with a cameo from a Chaos Lord....maybe Mark Hamill as Nightmare or Al Pacino as Mephisto.
Shuma might show up toward the end of Dr. Strange 2
Yessssss after years of searching and waiting it just comes to me. I been looking for info in this character since Marvel vs capcom 1
Same
@I Diaz Marvel super heroes vs street fighters my bad
Been waiting on this
Yoo i waiting forever for this!!💯
i only meet this character in the fighting game series, i knew by the descriptions in the wikia he is more powerful than dormammu, but i never thought that his true move set was more ambiguous in the comics than what is shown in the game
Most interesting character ever.. he would be a great villain
He’s in the multiverse of madness
Main villain in doc strange 2!
A great villain and a threat to every being in the universe.
too op, i dont think thats so good
He's a joke in multiverse of madness lmao
Galactus: Ewww get that away from me *uses Cosmic Power-Bug Spray*
ROB IS KILLIN IT WITH THE OUTRO MUSIC!!!
Crazy how Strange, after centuries of absorbing mystic creatures, was only able to absorb his tentacles
Yeah and only after cutting them off
They rlly doin him like if Thor just aimed for the head
THANK YOU ROB!!!!!!! I was one of the few that kept requesting this character lol THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
All I can say is TY I've been waiting for this
So no mention of HP Lovecraft?
Also any elder scrolls fans here?Sheogorath prince of madness lol
@Cliven Longsight You do know HM is just a cheap knock off of Lovecraft, and Lovecraft wrote this stuff over 100 years ago?...
@Cliven Longsight I like to eat poop.
@Cliven Longsight amen
I believe his character is the very essence of H.P. Lovecraft's idea of cosmic horror. A force so vast and incomprehensible that to completely understand him would drive any mere human mind insane. And besides, his designs are obviously lovecraftian. I like that he is this ambiguous force that we will never understand.
Yes!!! I have been mentally bombarding you with the many angled ones for a few weeks, success. Thank you, it makes my night getting away from all the realities.
Been waiting on this since you started the series. Thanks Rob one for the corps...
Who is here after the trailer???
whos here after watching the end credits of spiderman 3
getting me through the plague... thanks Rob!!!
You may not know a ton about Shuma, but you sure know more than I do. A lot of the info out there is confusing and/or even more vague than this. This def still helps, mayne. Been hoping for more about Shuma for a while, thx brah. And to all the comments that made you do it xp
this guy verse the beyonders would be something to see
He would prob get 1 shot
If you want to imagine how fully powerful Shuma is, just imagine Nyarlothotep fully unleashed without anything to stop it.
But what if he found a motivated white haired half demon?
He will eviscerate that half breed.
If you ever get time can you do a video on the octessens and all the different gems from the different deities. Not much UA-cam info and can't find much info about anyone other then Cyttorak and Juggernaut. Love your vids and always look forward to watching them. Thank you
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS been waiting for this video for ages, thanks brobeans.
Hi, you are one of those people who have seen the trailer and immediately searched for shuma gorath 🍻
Hi to you too
In light of this information, the Shummy (that's what his friends call him) that appears in the Marvel vs. Capcom series has to be a significantly less powerful avatar of the real thing, otherwise he would fold Apocalypse or Galactus in half with the flick of a tentacle.
It's a video game bro. Relax
Finally you did this one
Imma share this with my brother (who played MvC2 way more than me). Thanks for listening to the people, Rob.
If other people like Dormammu call this guy MASTER, then this guy is a hyperversal to high hyperversal, just by the potential power he has in his true form
The abstract deities may have a fight on their hands if Shuma starts conquering reality
Plot twist, that's just his EYE that's able to do those known abilities! He still has the rest of his body that we haven't seen!
That actually sounds terrifying. A single eye possessing this kind of power and still not being attached to the maker... the entity this eye belongs to would have to be akin to that of the beyonder in terms of power.
Let’s just be real about what his tentacles do
Shuma gorath is the confirmed villian in doctor strange madness of multiverse

"I wanna take you for a ride🎶"
I was wondering why this name sounded so familiar. Then it hit me. Sheogorath the daedric prince of madness.
That outro sounded like a jazz remix of one of the Marvel v.s. Capcom 2 stages. The Swamp Stage, I believe.
