Annihilation Conquest

[PhotoJones]

No, it doesn't. The fact that he's a near perfect marksman protects him. Gabe's giant stones are what keeps him going.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Seems like giant stones would slow him down and get him blown up.

 

[PhotoJones]

Nah, Gabe's stones are so big, he uses them as a shield for that type of stuff.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Those are some big stones.

 

[PhotoJones]

I know. That's what I said.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm agreeing.

 

[PhotoJones]

And anyway, why do you seem to want Gabe dead so badly? I like Gabe.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't want him dead, I was just surprised he wasn't dead given that he almost got killed even when he had powers.

 

[PhotoJones]

He was still pretty shaken up from his accidental killing of Deathcry. It wasn't up until the very end of his tenure as Captain Universe, did he finally cut lose and do some serious damage.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. Too bad the Enigma Force moved on. Wouldn't it be weird if it moved to Adam Warlock and gave him the boost needed to take down Ultron at the end of Conquest?

 

[PhotoJones]

That would actually be pretty lame.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

We don't know what Adam Warlock's strength is but the Infinity Gauntlet story hints (poorly) at the possibility that he is now Class 100 or better. With the Captain Universe powers that would be magnified by 50.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

At that strength range, everything tends to blur together. I doubt he'd be portrayed as significantly stronger with the Enigma Force.

 

[PhotoJones]

Adam needs to just get his ass to Earth and steal his damn gems back from Reed.

 

[sandwraith]

Reed still has them? They're probably in the possession of some master Skrull right now.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought they still couldn't work in conjunction. Besides, he doesn't seem to be the same spiritual zen master who would get a lot of use out of the Soul Gem. He seems like a brash, impetuous adolescent now, and his innate powers seem to have been boosted to much higher levels.

 

[sandwraith]

So he's going through "Perfect Human Puberty"?

Yeah, I hope DnA get around to fully explaining why he's such a dickbag now.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He was broken out of his cocoon too early. That'll make anyone cranky.

 

[PhotoJones]

I get that part. He's just a downright *****e, though.

 

[sandwraith]

All the Infinity Watch (at least the ones still alive) seem to have gone through a transformation. Drax turned from Cosmic-powered goof to sleek, sexy (oh God...Did I just call a man sexy???) intergalactic Hunter, Moondragon...umm...turned into a lesbian dragon, Thanos actually got off his death/infinity gem fixation for a good long while (!) and Gamora....I dunno. Any changes in her?

 

[PhotoJones]

(oh God...Did I just call a man sexy???)

There is nothing wrong with recognizing the sex appeal of a manly man.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Clearly not according to you, given your avatar.

 

[PhotoJones]

Don't even pretend you don't think Tom is anything less then the sexiest manly man alive.

 

[sandwraith]

Judging by your appreciation of Kl'rt slapping around Praxagora for kicks PJ, I'd say we have a different opinion of what a manly man is.
