It's like Guy Gardner bashing.
Guy's thing is the machismo and getting away with it. To "put him in his place" is to pander to the crowd that wants to see him get his cumumpance.
Walker is the same way, he's the bully who DOESN'T get karmic backlash.
You're supposed to hate him for flaunting it or love him for owning it.

Dialogue is hammy but it's pretty funny that the writer was that keen to put US Agent in his place.
Walker has always been a bit of a stooge though. Extreme nationalist, corporate shill, military bot, add that with his mental instability and you have an easily punchable face draped in the American flag. He's been like that since the beginning, the writer is just refreshing it (albeit heavy-handily)

That's not to say Guy can't lose, he loses all the time.
But he should rarely get "punked".

Like: "He's a slow-moving sculpture that I've run my hands over without ever touching him" is... weirdly erotic? and just such brutal grammar.
Then the ricochet line, and "I need him to see what a man without fear can do"
Lol, just stfu Matt. The scene reads like the writer jerked off to the Baleman voice.
Nice art tho.

Lol at Stillman. Terrible showing for Walker he really needs a mini dude is trash
Nah. It's just a normal showing for him.
Want a terrible one? See him getting beaten up by an idiot like Falcon, getting crippled by a d-list villain such as Nuke or almost getting killed by a one-time forgettable villain such as Proticide.
Oh wait, that's pretty normal for him, too.
Hmm, recent JSA issue.
The time manipulator villain( I assuming he is Per Degaton) time powers seem pretty op

Agree w everything except Nuke. He was a beast and that crippling added a shit ton to Walkers character
