it's different.
Amadeus Cho was possessed by the zomling, that escapes the fallen Zom/Strange, whereas Strange was channelling a fraction of Zom's power, which he expended in his battle with Hulk.
your durability is increased however.
Originally posted by janus77One is trying N OT to channel high levels of power and so is the other. Shamdistinction fallacy on your part.
one is an active process of obtaining power from an immense being, the other is that immense being's residue possessing a creature in order to re-energise and re-manifest itself into reality.
Originally posted by janus77False analogy.
it's like the Hunger possessing Galactus, it is a naturally weak way to access this reality. whilst say, calling on a God to empower you is far far stronger way to access this reality.
Originally posted by janus77HEnce why he started to fight against using that level of power.
Strange was becoming possessed by the Zomling too, the power was affecting his reasoning and making him careless about the consequences of his actions (endangering bystanders),
Originally posted by janus77And when he was trying to stop his power apparently went UP, despite the fact that he was gaining control of his own actions rather than becoming more enraged...
but primarily Strange was channelling and infusing his physical form with (a fraction of) the power of Zom.
Originally posted by janus77Sham distinction. A willful possesion via a spell is still a possesion.
it's an incantation not a possession.
Originally posted by janus77You make it sound like it was a straight up fight... again no.
remember, Strange's manservant explained that he got an urn to trap the Zomling in, that it had +escaped+ Zom/Strange's body after the power was used up (when Hulk overpowered Zom/Strange),
Originally posted by janus77And after Strange was trying not to manifest the power Cho came along and tried not to manifest the power and got one shoted... when fighting against the zomling being in control your durability is NOT increased... not increased for Cho, why would it be increased for strange?
that it was seeking a host to use in order to re-manifest itself and get back its power.
