Originally posted by xJLxKingall radiation travels at the speed of light, if the hammer is made of pure kryptonite then there is nothing covering the radiation or lessening the proportionate emission of a hammer sized object big enough for algrim's hands.
That's unless Superman allows him to emitted the radiation. He could just melt it.
and the iron gauntlets might not last a single hit from superman's punch anyway. kurse will be hurt from it, but the gauntlets would be in worse shape imo.
superman's best bet is to use a punch combo on kurse after hv'ing his hammer away asap, then while he's staggered bfr punch him. other than bfr going toe to toe with kurse is certain death.
