Gender: Male Location: Behind that tree over by the bus
What's going on with Wonder Man?
Seriously, the guy used to knock Thor and Hulk around and beat the shit out of the Abomination... these days he's getting punked and knocked out by the likes of Spider Woman and the Green Goblin.
He doesn't even think he can handle more than 10 Atlanteans....
Anyone got any theories on this.... apart from the obvious ones involving the writer's knowledge and how it compares to a steaming bucket of horse shit?

Maybe his depowering will get explained (if ever) as a result of Wanda going batshit-fu**ing-loco... I mean, it was her that brought him back to life all purple and glowing ... before that I don't think he could ever fly under his own power... though it still wouldn't explain the major drop in durability....
Sometimes **** just happens. They did the samething to Nomad ages ago. They turned him into a complete ****ing wimp. Sometimes there is no reason these writers just do it.

Well, that's not really a stretch. Normal Atlantean soldier weapons can knock out Namor, Thing, Hulk etc. In one or two shots. Those troops have probably some sort of special stuff.
But that Green Goblin stuff is downright retarded.
I don't see the big problem here. Sure, we all know Wonderman would utterly destroy Green Goblin if they should fight, but in this comic, Wonderman was hit by a few pumpkin bombs.
Yes yes I know he survived much worse - duh - and yes yes, those pumpkin bombs shouldn't be a big problem for Wonderman, but still... even the first pumpkin bombs went through steel like a hot knife through butter !
And it's no secret that those bombs have been upgraded since then.
So Wonderman getting hurt by a couple of those bombs is not that far fetched. A bit yes, but not so far as we might think.

Well hopefully when Peter David's Wonderman mini comes out, he writes Simon as Simon should be written. I most always enjoy David's stuff, and he seems to respect the characters and their universe more than most writers.
Right!
And he doesn't have superhuman agility or spidersense....
He took at least two bombs straight to the face....
....and judging by the size of the explosion, these weren't the
pumpkin-bombs goblin normally uses during short distance
melee-combat. he swooped in there with a clear attempt to
simply bomb the hell out of that place....
don't underestimate Norman Osbourne.....he's resourceful as hell....
