Right, normal humans block 400m/s objects

When they've already gotten the weapon in the way of the projected path before it was even fired? Darn tootin' they would. Precog is useful for that kind of thing.

Er, yeah, as far as I know. It's seems to have been made pretty clear in all the movies (if novel evidence is being used, I stand back as I've read none of the novels) that its pre-cog that lets them block/deflect blaster fire, otherwise the scene in the Falcon in ANH or the one with all the child P...

So you have no idea of how to provide OBJECTIVE PROOF other then repeating Rand will just Balefire the foe, and thus win. Yes, and that's not in the least just titling a shitty subjective arguement of who's cooler in who's eyes. Fine. Dandy. So if they're allowed to attack one another with their ma...

Alright, to recap my arguments: Rand's sword isn't particularly uber from what I know, but lets just let it be through poster fiat or mystical enchantment so we can argue a sword fight and not a cut in half-fight. Rand ain't notable superhuman, if he's superhuman at all. He can see better, but that ...

And you'll notice that my first thread specifically said that Rand had little to no superhuman feats, as far as I know. The best is that he's probably slightly stronger and faster than someone of his build due to being a warder (and perhaps a bit more than that, if warder bonds pile up), and he's s...

So changing the rules so it better suits that it becomes a skill of pure swordsmanship thus basically reducing the Jedi down because their abilities make them better then most combatants? Do you even see the flaw in doing so and basing an arguement around such logic? :roll: My arguments aren't base...

So when has Rand, Mat, or Perrin literally divine protection because of the Wheel allowed their enemies to outright be destroyed for no reason? And you throughout that whole bit have yet to show that Rand has Superhuman speed or agility or that his blade will stop a Lightsaber. Literally it's no di...

Ah bitch and whine that it must be fanwankery regardless of the shit I've done before. I see you can't come up with something defeat the Jedi aside from "pre-emptive strike because Rand doesn't have pre-cog so unless I skew the rules of someone else versus." Well, assuming that precog wor...

It's what the subject says... ^ Aaaaaand the order of battle is... 1.) Aragorn, outfitted in royal armor (think his armor from the battle at the Black Gates in ROTK), vs. Lan Mandragoran, who is wearing Shienarian armor (which I believe, from the description of Lord Aglemar's armor in Eye of the Wo...

Now, Green Lantern's Ring would be nice, but they vary too much in power, so you'd never be able to be sure what you were buying. AFAIK, all Green Lantern Rings (barring Kyle's uber ring) are at about Death Star levels of raw power with genie levels of versatility, but how much you can get out of e...

Oh, and AFAIK, as long as even one wing is left in defense mode, it projects an impenetrable force field around the entire ship. IIRC, when Tsunami blocked the attack from the Souja (which I'm pretty certain was stated to be strong enough to destroy the Earth), the beam seemed to splash a short dis...

Ack, typo. Thanks for the correction, I've just been distracted by my registration errors...

Er, considering that even the regular Light Hawk Wings that appear on the lower level treeships are basically divine intervention from a multiversal goddess (namely Tsunami herself), then I'm not all that surprised that she's so darn powerful. As for the capabilities of the LHWs: Multiply the force ...

IIRC, Robin II went after Joker alone because Joker had his mother hostage, but I may be wrong. The only thing I remember about that fight was that when Batman was holding his corpse, it looked like he'd (Robin, not Batman) suffered the world's most fatal sneeze or something...

I always figured that the Vorfeed and Dark Star Duguradigdo that appeared in TRY was from an alternate LU universe than Canal and Caine's. Kinda like how Aqua showed Lina a universe where she actually failed to control her Giga Slave against Rezo, causing it's destruction. It helps that the 5 weapon...

The kids will live forever? How the hell does that help me? I missed that part, I thought the immortality was for the lucky winner. As it is though, if that's the case it just might be the most morally uplifting reality show on Fox. Sure, their condemning humanity to a painful demise, but they're d...

*smirks* And what would be the ratings... Well, watching it would probably drive it's viewers insane... so the ratings would be pretty high, since it would create it's own loyal audience, and catch anyone who had been flipping channels at the wrong time. You know, maybe Fox is on to something... At...

Bleh. 90% of all Aes Sedai should be sent into a black hole. Especially since they seem to think that replacing Siuan with Egwene and Elaida is a good idea. That's like replacing a 10 year old with head injuries with 2 lobotomized five year olds. Crap, there are places in Randland that are like the ...

I have this wierd mental image of a tabloid cover with some woman saying that she had Cthulhu's lovechild, with a poorly edited photo of their kid with a squid for a head...

OK, what about Stupendous Man? Don't mess with Stupendous Man. Without all those moral victories, we'd have only pansies like Galactus or the Justice League to try and stop the rampages of the evil Mom Lady, or the unstoppable Babbysitter Girl. He is like the most stupendous hero the world, nay, th...

I think that Fox just found a new depth to sink to in it's mad scramble for reality show based ratings. If people are willing to go on national television and tout themselves as shallow gold diggers for a million dollars, I wonder what would happen when immortality comes into play?

Yeah. El Toro from Jackie Chan might be a bit stereotypical, but at least he's funny and cool.

I have a friend that still rants about why the heck they needed an upgrade when the Zio form seems to be the most powerful of all the various rangers.
