Respect Kyle Reese!

Comic scans
So here in these scans, Reese gets shot in the arm, losing his ability to use it. But he then gets a truck, rams the T-800, then pulling out a launcher and blasting it and then taking a hammer and wedge before bashing upon it until the upper head comes off. So not only is he ignoring the pain completely, but also having enough strength to swing a hammer hard enough to destroy the damaged T-800.
=======
Well there ya have it folks, didn't have much in the way of comic scans but anyway, Kyle Reese! The original Terminator of...well Terminators!
