I'm sorry, but WHAT exactly have you seen of his shields?? Did LP post some scans I missed? He makes a TON of claims and leaps in logic, but has no proof, and yet people take his word for it.

then, to, even allowing he can read his mind, AND allowing he can dodge or port away from a couple attacks, multiple attacks from all over plus freek's speed and multiple attacking arms just seems to me to say shock would be on the offensive all the time and khell would be trying to slip in attacks that wouldn't be powerful enough QUICKLY enough.
What you neglect to realize is that Grailnighter can release his energy from any point on his body. He can be facing away from Shock, and still blow him away. Note the scan where he does the exact same thing to another opponent. And, Grail is almost overflowing with energy, he doesn't so much push the energy out, as he does let it flow out.

i think it would likely be a fairly long (no pun intended!! 😄) battle, with nighter 'porting and dodging and striking but not getting through in time before shock scores the shot he needs to end it. i know khell has good shields, but the thought of something like wolvie's claws on the end of doc ock's tentacles is insane.
They may get through my shields, but they still have to cross at least a foot of open space before contacting my armor. That is more than enough time to teleport clear for my guy.

sorry khell. great effort and great amalgam, but unless you can explain away some of my reservations REALLY well, my vote is for piggy . . .
I've done my best. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

That's like asking how can I see a candle flame at the end of a well-lit room. Just because there's other light doesn't mean I can't identify that singular source of light even from a distance.
