ok, I admit it, I just pulled that 'inanimate requirement' outta my arse
however, I rarely see Surfer use it...and if he is such a pacifist, he should use it more often since turning his enemies in gingerbread man saves bloodshed

True. Btw, Henshaw has Superman's bio-aura, so Surfer can't transmute him easily, if at all. And Goober is claiming that Surfer can fight Henshaw blitzing him AND the fortress itself attacking? Or Henshaw creating alien weaponry? I think not.

Tech that can adapt to anything and is under control of Henshaw.
The fact that Surfer has been powerless against tech before that he couldn't transmute.
The fact that the whole argument is being pulled out of people's asses.

Surfer's been in an arm-lock that he "couldn't" get out of.
Surfer suffers from extreme jobbing. it's in his nature, he's not that big of a 'star' in comicdom...
Surfer has transmuted Eradicator's guns, whole planets and Spiderman too ...
if Surfer wanted to, he could just black-hole the tech away, along with Cyborg supe.
or EMP blast the tech, or phase into Cyborg Supes and spread some deadly radiation or something ... creative application of his established powers...
My point is not that the tech in and of itself cannot adapt, but what if there was no tech to adapt? The fact that it becomes something else BEFORE it can adapt, raises the question of could the tech, having been already turned into gold, air, or a taco turn itself back into tech? The obvious answer is "no!" unless you can provide evidence to the contrary.
Also, please show a time where Surfer could NOT transmute tech. Like a direct reference to him saying he tried to transmute it and could not. Not a picture of him not thinking to use his transmutation skills and only blasting the thing.
Why would the tech not be able to adapt with Henshaw completely in control of it?
When would SS get a chance when being attacked by all sorts of devices that could kill him?
Please provide some evidence of someone transmuting the fortress. Remember, you're the one making the wild claims so it's on you. Especially considering that it's not that hard to disable SS using the right tech.
Was helpless against.....tech. In that storyline, he was trapped in a ship, and made it out by dumb luck.
Now show us someone transmuting tech that already is adaptable against that type of attack AND an extension of Henshaw.

Plus, thinking Surfer could transmute the fortress is also under the assumption that he would have better control over the tech than Henshaw himself. If 'Borg can control and manipulate a portion of the Source Wall, it's laughable to assume Surfer would be able to do ANYTHING to the technology in the fortress if Henshaw has his consciousness projected into it.

I was going to leave this thread alone and just leave you to your bias and double standards, but since you've now resorted to flat out lying I guess I'll step in so everyone knows how things really went down...
So being down for a panel or two somehow means that you're absolutely helpless? It funny how you never show the next page where Surfer's gotten rid of all the energy draining devices(which again means that he was hardly helpless against them)... http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/...99712416fm4.jpg

Total bullshit right there. Superman had just been fully REPOWERED by the sacrifice of the Eradicator. Cyborg was the one who was weakened. THE 2ND FREAKING PANEL SAYS SO! And btw, Cyborg isn't killed if you smash his body. He'll just migrate to some other tech and recreate it. Cyborg beamed himself all the way to a little device he put on Doomsday, who was at least a few galaxies away.
