These were not Merc of that category. All of their weapons came from a space ship and they carried them ever since. It wasn't a prep situation.

You claimed that they jumped right in as soon as they got the job. I merely asserted that they must have prepared for the Surfer if they somehow figured out the one specific tactic needed to actually be effective against the Surfer.
That or plot induced dumb luck.

Yes there is. There was no prep involved.

Dumb luck then.

Posted above.
There was never an indication of any "flaw" in their weapons being the case of Surfer powering out of them.
And you say I make excuses? Come on, man!

Ok then.

Because he wasn't their primary target and the baby was? Surfer wasn't their target and he was pretty helpless there.
So what you're saying is that they let him out (even though he is dangeroues and killing him would double their pay) of their energy drain because he wasn't their primary target?
That doesn't really make a lot of sense.

Essentially yes. Surfer wasn't resisting shit there. He was as helpless as in dynamo city and look what happened there.

Completely powerless both times.
Um, that doesn't really disprove the point I made about the sequence and artwork pointing to Surfer powering out of the energy drain... I mean what's your point in posting a scan that I already knew about happened?

He broke out of it and then overloaded their instruments. Proves that he can break out of and adapt to draining. Which was my point.

In comics there is. Writers and artists don't pay that much attention as battle boarders do.
Not really. If we do not scrutinize the words and gather the correct intention of the writer, we end up with wildly different interpretation of the same scene.
Many of which are biased towards the character each person wants to win.

And where exactly did I do that? Please quote where I made a theory without pointing out the evidence provided.

Inductors draining surfer completely. Just look how much adaptive surfer is against that kind of draining

I can show many such showings.
So Dr. Doom's tech that was made via prep to specifically drain the Surfer worked? Wow. Really? One of comics' highest end prepper using tech to specifically do something via prep (and a harness based on that tech) achieving something that he's managed to do to far more powerful beings in comics? What a surprise!!!

Glad you asked about capturing those guys. Dampyre, the guy who drained surfer couldn't do anything to Quasar.
Scans for context please.

I post arguments, not "excuses". I agree that it wouldn't change your mind though, I don't think anything can.

Scans?

The glaze has been utterly ineffectual in resisting energy drain by tech, so I don't see what the problem is.
The problem is that, being a physical being, it would be rather presumptuous to assume that anyone would go the "drain energy" route as soon as the fight begins when there is someone he can just punch/shoot.

So how does Henshaw shooting and KOing Eradicator (a being he's encountered in the past) with a beam (tailor made for him) prove anything?

-Need prior page to get context but it looks like he was attacked from behind.
-Ambushed while his guard was down.
-Looks like prep was involved (wasn't this the missle that was based on Reed's tech to neutralize the Surfer?).
-Losing energy =/= getting drained as it was stated that the all the energy in the area was controlled by the computer, he still had enough power to not die from getting sliced up, tho.
-Annnd getting sealed off from his power by the Stranger is not tech and is not really a good example.
Context. Please stop ignoring it.
My point has always been:

And then somehow extrapolate that Henshaw can duplicate the specifics of these attacks without prep, to a prepared and healthy Surfer (who has, via your scans, been able to adapt from past experiences and resist draining, even those that have been able to work on him in the past) in a battle scenario wherein he knows little of the opponent he's facing other than public knowledge? And you're saying he'll do this while fighting in character?
This is a forum battle where there is NO PREP and that one opponent only gets basic knowledge of the other and where one character DOESN'T get to ambush the other and where the other character starts off at full strength. Posting scans where a character got ambushed, had prior knowledge, had prep used against him or was in a weakened position doesn't help your entire "Henshaw wins via draining" argument.

How does this scan prove that Henshaw would:
1) Be able to analyze/figure out Surfer's so-called "tech-based weakness to draining"? An opponent he knows only public knowledge about (powerful being that flies on a surfboard)?
2) Use draining as a tactic against an opponent that (from the outside) really isn't made out of energy (while fighting in character) instead of y'know, punching/shooting/blasting him.
3) Be able to figure out the exact tech needed to drain the Surfer during a battle scenario where the Surfer would no doubt be flying around and blasting him.
You'll really need to explain the relevance of that scan there.
