and no, that's not how his Cosmic Awareness works, it's +Awareness+ as in conscious perception, not just visual perception. like when Vader senses a "disturbance in the Force", it doesn't come with flashing green lights and a big-ass sign saying "DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE, 500 METERS, TURN RIGHT AT NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHTS"... if you get my drift.
Your are right about the wide angle stuff (I made a mistake). But you get what I was trying to say right?
The CA works in many ways (like spider-sense does). SS can sense disturbances with it, scan objects for their molecular makeup, etc.
Even though they are all CA, in no way do they work the same.
If you disagree then answer this:
Why did SS go away to try to search? Couldn't he just stayed where he was and used his CA?
My answer is that he needed to use his eyes to scan the Earth, and that is why he went away for a moment vs. staying with the others.
