Originally posted by EnyalusThe distinction between Superman/Konvikt is... Sentry didn't block them or even brace himself either.
Herc wasn't attempting to block them or even brace himself against them, unlike Sentry.That's kinda like penalizing Supes for getting one-shot by Konvikt because he ran his chin into Konvikt's fist.
Once Supes was braced for the assult, he'd be able to take more damage. Ditto for both Sentry and Herc.
