Yes but did you forget that the emperor got whooped too by horus and is only surviving by a gigantic machine, without that he would be dead. That too and horus turned just about half of the space marine legions to chaos and started an uprising to the emperor has lasted for about 10 millenium (on and off)

So? As an entity, Horus was OBLITERATED. As in: end of story, no more Horus, bye-bye
So as the most powerful entity, no he most certainly was not.

Actually, Lorgar did. Horus was more or less the poster boy. The WB, with all their scheming, would probably by Tzeentch followers if the TS hadn't called dibs.

Also, there is no confirmation as to what happened exactly aboard the Vengeful Spirit, but one of them is that the Emperor wasn't even fighting, then he realized than Horus WAS evil and auto won.

Actually, his power grows every time another chaos god's strength increases, so he could easily be the strongest. That's why I deck out the small chaos space marine army I have as Sons of Malice and play under chaos undivided rules and only use generic summoned daemons and no units that belong to a specific god.

AND he's the only one not stuck in the Warp since he left on his own because all other chaos gods and chaos underlings fear him since he represents utter chaos which means attacking everyone including other chaos.

Gods? There are no gods. Merely existences, obstacles to overcome.

I'm disappointed in the poll so far....

Malal isn't mentioned because the author that created the character and GW split over "creative differences".

In First Heretic, they transport some Word Bearers back in time to destroy the Geller field protecting the nascent Primarchs.

Well... if no Malal... then I'm saying The Outsider. It looks like Hive Fleet Leviathan took one big detour to avoid him and his little old Dyson Sphere.

That or it was a vision, rather than what literally happened. Chaos is tricky like that. The Emperor? He definately froze time for a certain Inquisitor and company.

I'd go with Khorne. All conflict feeds him...in a universe in which there is ONLY WAR.

As powerful as the Emperor is, his might is declining. He can barely keep the worst of the onslaught of Chaos and other forces as is. And every little bit of control that slips only adds to the power of the forces of ruin.

In Boxing matches, you actually get paid to take a dive and make the other guy look good.

In Warhammer 40K, you're expected to pay cash out of your pocket for the privilege of having Marines and IG trample all over your Xenos/Chaos.

Well to be fair the reason his power is fading is because he siphoning it out of himself and into the entity in the warp, the STAR CHILD.

Something had to make that field fall. The Inquisition War is no longer canon, as it has been put in the Heretic Tales category of BL novels.

Right, You can't kill the emperor because, even though his "dead". His soul is in the warp and only through will power his blocking out all the chaos gods from taking the IoM.

Also who every says that the emperor got beaten by hours is completely wrong, the emperor didn't even try to fight hours and only blocked attacks, when he realised that he can't talk reason into his son then I finally kicked all 4 chaos gods out of hours body.

When people say the chaos gods just simply retreated, that not logical because, if the only man stand between you and everything you desire, I am sure the chaos gods tried their hardest to kill the emperor because when his dead, no one will be able to stop them.

Gork and Mork doesn't care doesn't mean they will be powerful enough to defeat the emperor since they will just sit there getting hit, soon or later someone will find their weakness. But I think Gork and Mork are more powerful than the chaos gods for sure, Since the chaos gods haven't corrupted any orks.

The Orks are too stupid to be corrupted. Just like the Space Wolves, even though they fit every criteria.

Or the Chaos Gods had the power to overwhelm it. Or something else happened. I can't really see the Chaos Gods transporting someone back in time to get be able to get past it. It makes no sense to me. Could you elaborate on the Heretic Tales category, please?

I don't think anyone actually said that the Emperor was beaten by Horus, as that would be ridiculous. But if you're suggesting here that Horus isn't the reason that the Emperor needed a life-support system, I'm not sure that's correct either. The lexicanum entry states:

'After a tragic battle, and though heartbroken at the loss of his favoured son, the Emperor finally slew Horus, though the struggle left him close to death.'

If you have some 'counter-fluff' to this I am more than willing to read it though.

However, I don't see any of the other options in the poll ever having needed a life support machine (although Khaine was rent into many pieces).

Heretic Tomes, sorry. Basically, it's books that were published in the early days of the 40K universe, stories that may often contradict or introduce different elements to the Warhammer mythos, but are too cool in their own right to be altered to match the newer fluff.

They are of a lower level of canon than Black Library. Of course, from the interview of two current BL authors found here, the BL doesn't really put any demands on their authors except things like dates and numbers. The characters and stories are kind of left up to them. So basically, nothing we read anywhere means anything.

While Horus is the reason for the Emperor being placed on the Golden Throne, I think what he was getting at was that the Emperor could have destroyed Horus far more easily, but couldn't bring himself to destroy his beloved son until the Guardsman\Imperial Fist\Custodes was flayed alive by Horus. If it hadn't been for the Emperor's love for Horus, the fight would have been one-sided.

Ah okay. I wouldn't necessarily say that that invalidates everything in those novels, but I see your point. The Emperor hasn't really changed though, although they might decide to not go for the admittedly cool route of him have many different aspects and personalities.
