Think about the time Thor was fighting Exitar and he took off his strength belt, wrapped it around Mjolnir and tried to channel his inner essence through them to break into the celestial's Core. The blast DID break through, and his unleashed spirit shredded Mjolnir and the belt too! (The hammer was of course repaired later) THAT is the kind of spiritual power that it takes to shake off Warlock's Karmic Blast. Abyss and Rune are both strange mystical entities without souls as we think of them. As soon as Abyss got a the soul he'd been craving, Adam owned him.
Pusity and rightousness may keep a demon like Asmodel from harming you, but that's very different from what we're talking about here. At his heart, Superman is still a man. As whirly alluded, this is what makes him a compelling character.Re Psionics: Warlock has on occasion, communicated via what seems like telepathy with other sensitive individuals over interstellar distances, and performed "soul-melds" with others. He's never demonstrated mind reading, controll, psi-blasts, or any kind of 'combat' psi.
Some good points, but he chooses to be a man, he is also immortal as shown in DC1000000 😄 Its the coice to be more man than god, and not to conquer the world thats cool imo
