@ancient_0f_days:
1. Are you seriously trying to claim that a scan where we don't see Superman getting " taken out" , is a scan of him...getting taken out?
Can you show me where in the comic it shows Supes was even hurt too badly there?
I mean, Jeez, I know you made a mistake , I know you are a perennial respect thread ripper , but this is hilariously over the top even for you!
Tell me one thing....is Superman flying just fine or not right after this , the very next time we see him...two panels later ? Yes or no?
Jeez, just admit your mistake and move on.
Not one of those " ones shots" on Apokolips did anything other than slowing him down temporarily. As in for a couple of panels each time at most .
This is honestly some of the most hilarious backtracking I have had to encounter in entire ....days on the internets
This setting aside, the fact that your go to story for Henshaw being superior to superman being one where he gets one shotted by something that barely slowed down Doomsday, by a guy who got curbstomped with a couple of hits from Doomsday , vs Supes ' performance against Doomsday, actually managing to hurt him over the knock down drag out issue long fight. Heck even vs the Cyborg Supes vapourises the dude with HV right before that, on a day he has specifically connected himself to the circuitry of a super advanced alien planet , and what that means for this , with regards to a clean showing....or Y'know just consistency for the characters across the very story
Hilarious, as I said.
2. Darkseid I was explicitly noted to being healed by Mother Box , by Supes. Supes explicitly noted that mother box was changing him after his battle vs Henshaw
I'm not sure how either example proves anything for you
There any number of either instances where mother box is explicitly noted to be healing the user/ at least glowing for its use to be noted from curing Orion's blindness to something as late in the day as healing Shilo Norman in the starheart saga
What I want to know,is when, if ever , has the mother box worked the way you are saying it does : with nothing whatsoever said / not even glowing like that
Any examples of that at all? Because *every single * mother box healing I know of had either or in most cases both or those two showings
Any examples of that at all?
Of course , this requires you to ignore Superman's own words telling himself about trying to get up and stopping Doomsday and how he might have subconsciously held himself back for fear of fighting doomsday, from getting up / moving as quickly
This basically , like the others stems from your reluctance to admit that you were wrong ( again) and have no frickin clue about what you are talking about
So one last time, ANY other example at all of mother box working that way??
3. Given he talks about subconsciously holding himself back right after ? Given the other thing you posted doesn't even show superman going down? Given he was sneak attacked from behind with his defences down? Given he gets up a couple of panels later in either case ? Given Henshaw was hooked onto super advanced alien planet systems, to the extent of creating spider like bodies for himself later , as far as clean /un- amped showing go? Given superman's performance against people who are well above the dude who one shotted him, as regards the overall consistency of the story?
Heck no. None of that remotely qualifies as a one shot . Captain Marvel's sneak attack magical fuelled two shot is what an actual "one " shot on Superman looks like , under identical circumstances , with far fewer qualifiers and superman actually y'know.....getting knocked out for more than a few panels
This is nothing more than you attempting to cover up for yet another woefully misguided sojourn to respect thread land
4. How does any of "attempting to use kryptonite to blow the both of them up to Kingdom come" come across as Henshaw " toying " with a ( vastly underpowered I might add) Supes?
Henshaw is not a full Kryptonian and outright noted he wasn't affected as badly by Kryptonite as far as that goes.
Or to put this more bluntly , do you feel Superman could have actually vibrated his arm through either of Orion, Diana , Jonn or Darkseid in a similarly weakened state ?
Heck do you feel he could have even done it to himself when he has feats of keeping on ticking after having the iron in his blood turned to kryptonite and stabbed through the heart by a kryptonite sword? In fact, he was blitzing at superspeed even after that
This works just fine with the Cyborg's less than stellar durability throughout his career. His big thing has always been regeneration/ technopathy not his durability
Lol they never even reached the sun because cyborg started begging for mercy and surrendered ! LOL have you read *any* actual comics with Henshaw in them ?
Henshaw was literally screaming " not the wall again!" as far as that not being a thrashing goes. Dude , the technopath , was channeling the biggest /most powerful technological structure in the DCU this side of the miracle machine and still lost .
Not to mention the thrashing he received , *after* this when superman wrecked him in adventures of superman 563, managing to give him a fight even when deprived of sunlight and utterly wrecking him with it
You are trying to claim that being taken over/ bonded by a being capable of overpowering Superman, Supergirl and Steel at the same time didn't enhance him at all? Do you have tv faintest idea what you are talking about ?
Good grief , you amused me in the beginning but now this is just....painful
For someone with as many posts as yourself , and apparently enough cred on the subject of Henshaw as to be called out by others as a specialist....you are frankly *embarrasing *
5. When has he required a node? Pretty much never . Does this mean his latest body, at that time ( constructed from watchtower remains I might add) cannot have one? Absolutely not
Is him having hilariously low end durability for a class 100 an actual thing throughout his history ?pretty much.
Is him getting beaten / outright stomped by Superman , an actual thing throughout their history ? Absolutely
In light of points one, two and three does this showing come across as an outlier ? Absolutely not
6. My whole argument was pointing out how superman has a strength, durability and speed advantage not only by actual feats , but throughout their own fight history , to the extent of Henshaw being unable to react to all of a *near* lightspeed blitz and begging for mercy, to the extent of superman ripping his heart out, to the extent of superman beating even when he is using the freakin source wall , to the extent of superman managing to hurt him when basically depowered etc
Your argument meanwhile involves outright denying context ( which to be fair you know nothing about outside of copy pasting respect threads ) and outright denying what happens on panel to somehow get around the fact that your initial statements were utterly and totally false
You know talk about why this topic has deviated from the OP?
It has deviated from the OP because of your simple lack of knowledge about the characters involved and subsequent reliance on respect threads to somehow apparently forge a reputation among other debaters as the go guy for Henshaw
If all the other go to guys were this unknowledgeable on their respective topics this site would have long since plummeted to KMC level depths . Thankfully , that is apparently not the case , and yours seems to be an isolated case of false information
Shoo off now. I have neither the time nor the patience to guide you through every superman story ever . You will have to make do with your respect threads for now.
Oh and here's my advice for any future "debates" we might have regarding superman or superman characters.
Walk Away.
Walk Away, very , very slowly. You do not, repeat DO NOT want me to notice you and give you a thrashing again, boyo.
You are simply, way out of your league here, pal.
