by the evidence and showings, evidence points that Surfer's transmutation power is very very limited

The Fortress is matter and seeing as Silver Surfer can change matter from one form to another it is completely viable. So until there is a good reason why he cannot then Surfer simply changes the Fortress to stone.

Let's see, he shut it down by exposing it to it's weakness, and then went on to reprogram the CPU of the ship. I'd classify that as dealing with it.

He ran out of the maze...and later shut the maze down. He couldn't take it on directly. Big difference.

Wrong. It's a metal..which covers his body. Hell, it even has magnetic properties.

That's funny cause I'm still waiting for proof of the fortress resisting transmutation. Devices CAN be built to resist the power cosmic, but what proof do you have that the Fortress Qualifies as one of them? Who's tried to transmute it and failed?

It's your claim..so come up with the proof. I didn't come in saying that Surfer is vulnerable to things and not provide proof. So get to it.

Depowered Supes>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Brick. Surfer wasn't depowered anywhere as much as you try to make it seem.

Not as low as you'd like. Remember when Iron man absorbed Surfers energy and they double ko'd?

So once again you can not actually provide proof that Fortress has resisted transmutation. So once again you are trying to play it off as our inability to get evidence. When in reality if you could put a scan forth that says it can not you would but you can't.

Nice try though. So since you cannot actually dispute the claim the Fortress will be turned into Gold 🙂

Umm Avlon? It's a cosmic glaze, not a metal.

That being said, when has anyone ever transmuted Cyborg, besides Darkseid with the OE?

The fact that he didn't automatically means that he couldn't? So in that case we have to assume that just because Cyborg DIDN'T just transfer his consciousness into the nearby tech to continue the fight with Supes that he was unable to?

Tech doesn't have to be particularly vulnerable to transmutation, it just has to lack the resistance to it. Until it shows that resistance, it's assumed that no resistance is present. By the same token, until someone shows a resistance to telepathic attacks, we assume that they're as vulnerable as anybody else.

BS. Depowered Supes(who was so weak he was unable to fly)<Karnak and the rest of the Inhumans.

How many people have actually tried? Just one and was he successful?

looks to me that Henshaw doesn't have a good track record 313

Big deal the writer got it wrong. Anyone who reads Surfer avidly will tell you that it's far more often refered to something OTHER than actual metal(I just don't feel like looking through my archive for it). But if you want to use that for proof, when have you seen Henshaw override someones control over their living metal form?

Wrong. Unless you mean that SS can transmute all of Thanos tech, Tyrants tech, and alien tech in general that he hasn't shown. It's acceptable that he can do it to some, but obvious that he can't do it to all.

Thanos has been transmuted once, and got upgraded, but it's never been said that he couldn't be transmuted again, or that weakness was removed.

The tech in question has shown that it's adaptable, and it's host is top tier herald level as well AND it will be attacking him in tons of different ways from different angles, with forcefields, soul gems, energy absorbers, martian weapons, kryptonian weapons, oan weapons, apokalyptan weapons, godly weapons, cosmic weapons, etc. All with deadly pinpoint accuracy and no pis that has henshaw holding back.

The burden of proof is on you.

The source wall is far more powerful, self repairing, and sentient than Surfers metallic body.

If Surfer touched it, he would automatically be part of the wall.

Henshaw was buried in it...and controlled and manipulated his portion.

Are you going to deny all on panel proof?

He doesn't have to have better control over tech. He just has to transmutate it. That hardly becomes a battle of wills.

Henshaw: I can control the very tech in this place to do my absolute bidding and despite your power you will not be able to overpower my will on it.

Silver Surfer: ok

Turns entire Fortress into sand

Henshaw: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This thing has nothing to do with Henshaw's control over the tech. It has to do with whether or not it can not be changed from tech to air.

😆

You're making an unfounded assumption here that Surfer would be able to transmute a being who can operate at a much higher level than Norrin can. Henshaw has perfect atomic control over anything he projects his consciousness into. Hell, after manipulating the Source Wall, he used the material in it to forge and reconstitute his body with it.

This has nothing to do with will. It has EVERYTHING to do with control and manipulation. If Hank is controlling the tech, there's no way I'm buying Surfer manipulating something/someone he has no hope of controlling/manipulating. It's downright laughable. Someone who has the power over tech that Cyborg Superman has isn't going to have said technology manipulated by a weaker force. Period.

It's funny how Norrin doesn't transmute Thanos before he bitchslaps him like a ho that owes him money all over the battlefield. And we've seen Adam Warlock transmute Thanos to stone before, so we know he isn't immune to it. Tactics like that don't come up against other heralds/cosmic types, but with Superman related characters...

And the fact that it took DARKSEID at full power to beat Henshaw when he was on a rampage is definitely not a low showing. LOL @ the logic of "well if Darkseid can do it, I KNOW Surfer can!!" That's called "failure" right there.

Bottom line: There's (imo, at least) too much for Hank to work with here. INCLUDING the Fortress Eradicator technology which is basically Surfer + Superman.

Norrin is outclassed here. Seriously, just think about this for a minute... someone who has SO much power over technology that he manipulated a portion of the SOURCE WALL is going to have his technology manipulated by the Surfer? One of the most ridiculous claims I've heard on here in awhile. And this is KMC we're talking about.

I didn't see him try to transmute that thing. Surfer's statement is very similar to Supes stating that Thor was possibly the toughest opponent he'd ever faced(and that was AFTER he had a couple of wins over DS, and had fought H/P Doomsday).

Well if course he never transmuted Thanos or Tyrants tech, they're the types to prepare for that kind of thing. As far as sophisticated tech in general though...

I didn't see a resistance to transmutation ANYWHERE on that list. Surfer's shown the ability to manipulate pretty much every energy type that he's encountered, does that mean he could manipulate the OE?

Ok say it with me.

Transmutation is the turning of one substance from form of matter into another

i.e. Lead into Gold,

Cyborg Supes may have great control over a tech based body that allows him to turn that tech based body into any physical shape but show me C. Supes actually changing his tech from one substance into another. Oh wait you can't. So while Henshaw may have better control over tech there is no evidence he can resist having it changed itno non tech.

And why doesn't Silver Surfer transmutate everyone eh comes across? The same reason Superman doesn't toss Despero or Doomsday into orbit every time he fights. Makes for a very boring fight.

Oh and just for reference C. Supes was only able to do what he did with the Source wall because he basically was being quiet. Anytime the Source wanted Henshaw knew it would just trap him agian and there wasn't anythignhe could do about.

Oh and FYI Surfer has manipulated the energies of the Crunch before. 😉

Wait so it's your opinion that it was actually a full powered DS rather than an avatar?

Superman can't toss Despero or DD into orbit because it's very hard. Those guys don't just sit quiet while Supe transports them out to space, they'll go kicking and screaming with class 100 blows. Also, Supes doesn't want to endanger other planets so tossing them to space without planning their trajectory is reckless and irresponsible behavior.

on the other hand, Surfer doesn't transmute his powerful foes simply because he does not have the power to do so.

Are you really trying to say the guy that destroys planets and creates Black Holes doesn't have enough power 😬

Ok how about this example why doesn't Superman always use his Superspeed to end matches quickly better for ya 😛

Superman DOES use his superspeed...unfortunately, most of his enemies possess superspeed as well, so its usefulness is limited.

Wait so Supes didn't have ample opportunity to throw DD into the sun here when he was throwing DD anyway...

His power is energy...if his energy can't affect the object in the 1st place, how can it transmute it? Come on ...you have to do better than that.

Which one of these can't Henshaw do? And since when is Thanos tech more advanced than New god tech, Oan tech, kryptonian tech, and the source wall?

Funny, so is Henshaw after crisis...he's fully immortal for one and knows Oan tech inside out. Plus kryptonite that doesn't originate from his original universe doesn't affect the Supermen. Etc.
