Then in issue 47 the guy who's using it is very well just a normal guy, however he's a stealth battle suit made out of the same "indestructible" alloy, flying around stabbing people with it. Spectre engages him in HAND TO HAND combat[wtf? lol] and he stabs Spectre with it, and Spectre dissapears.Then in issue 50...Spectre then had more important issues to deal with, as they assembled the Talisman, and summoned an abstract entity, during the time Spectre and now good guy The Patriot [Earlier in the story-arc known as Sorceror or Sam Wilson.] handled him. During this time, Spectre's HUMAN COP partner, rushed the wielder of the Spear of Destiny, punched him in the face, knocked him down, beat him up, took the spear and killed him with it. So much for invincible huh?
No they didn't, in DOJ they didn't want anyone but Captain Marvel to touch it, because he's considered the purest soul in DC's Universe. As he's an innocent child inbued with the power of Gods. And even he was questioning if he could hold out against it. Afterwards, still none of them touching it, they encased it in magic and put it into the sun.
Because comics are different than the forum. Same way Batman throws down with Superamn in comics books. Fact is, characters like Spectre that have destroyed and recreated the universe in it's ENTIRETY, multiple times are perfectly capable of not moving into close quarters combat. Which is what happened in the fight with The National Interest, he ran in and started boxing the guy. Similarly, Hal Jordan arisen from the dead, kept Spectre busy while Captain Marvel blindsided him with it.
Jun,
you make sense don't get me wrong,
but it's that character I was refering to in issue 47, his battle suit doesn't make him superhuman and definately not a magician, sorcerer or mystic, it just makes him less vulnarable to attacks.
Still your right about comic writers and the silliness that takes place,
from defeating something like The Spectre to gettin beat up by some human cop. It's kinda of a joke.
I have a question though, I want your opinion.
If the Speart makes one insane does this mean it doesn't work, or does it still contain it's power even in the grip of madness?
And do you think an evil already insane type wizard, mystic whatever, would be bothered by the Spear's negative affects, because in that case let's put it in the hands of Chthon. lol
