That's what I'm trying to point out. The article I posted earlier, stated that Radion is hard to come by. Do you really think that a advanced civilization, such as the New Gods, would have a problem, solving such a formula? That's why the ingredient, element x, is in question. If element x can power the oe, then I would difintely say, that it's more than a simple substance.
You know what I always found funny about this board:
Comics, by nature and premise, are completely plot driven fiction. Yet people here will always pull out the PIS card. It's a paradox. How can a comic feat be plot induced stupidity when the whole genre is plot driven? By that logic everything is PIS (depending on perspective).

Because there are aspects of characters that get established over time.
PIS just takes out the extreme outliers in that history. If bullets bounces off on Punisher in one issue because the writer somehow forgot that he wasn't invulnerable that would be an extreme outlier to the character and has no real place in a discussion of the character.

Most of the time when people talk about feats being PIS, it's actually closer to SMvF. But PIS is easier to type then SMvF so maybe that's why they started getting interchanged.

But isn't that also assuming that everything is set in stone when it's obviously not?
All it takes is a new writer and a new take.

I'm speaking generally Goob.
I've always found it...
...convenient.

If it becomes part of the character then it does count. PIS is about single isolated instances.
If, to extend the metaphor, Punisher didn't just stop bullets in that one issue but continued doing it for a long time then that would obviously cease to be PIS.

Is the phrase convenient, yes. Abused, HELL YES. But the concept of PIS is the only defense we have for things like Surfer not draining Hulk of Gamma Radiation, and Supes not blitzing half his Rogue's Gallery, so I sort of look upon it as a necessary evil.
😆
Agreed.
Sadly, but agreed.
It's just that in reading the arguments that happen here it gets used far to often when a fan simply doesn't like that an event took place, even if there was a precedent.
It's mind boggling.

I'm just speaking on the paradox of calling a plot "plot driven stupidity". Everything that happens in comics is based on a plot and plot driven.
It's just one of the quirks of posting here, that's all.

😬 There's nothing wrong with PIS as a concept. It just gets hugely over used.
The other good use for it is preventing people from obsessing over one high or low feat that a character has.

I've got to clear one thing up. Element X powers Metron's chair. It does not power the OE.

I never do. And then someone comes along sooner or later and post it. I prefer it that way. that way when people call me nvrhadaclue, Like when I said that krona didn't create the multiverse and they said I was clueless, Some months later, someone posted the actuality of what I said. It makes me feel creamy inside when people eat thier words. 😛
