I'm talking about when the Super Skrull wannabe knocked Doom off the surfboard.
But yes, Reed's device was used in order to separate him from the board. However, at that point during the movie, they never tried to use physical force in order to separate him from the board. Unless of course you count those missiles they used against him.
However, what do you think Supes would do after he got Norrin off the board? Wait for him to summon it, while Clark plays pattycake quietly with himself off in the distance? **** no. He caves in Norrin's shiny dome piece.
Also, you're implying that the device Reed made shut off his powers. He still was able to call the surfboard to his side at the end anyways. The reason he didn't before hand was because he was knocked out by Doom's electricity, and they confiscated the board. Notice, Doom had to take the board out of the nullifying field in order to take control of it. So, essentially, Reed's device only equates to what Johnny did, and what Superman's gonna do to Norrin. 🙂
