He was at least stunned, but only for moments.

But probably not out cold.

Wanted to get one in before them, did you ? uhuh

ie. busiek's definition/portrayal of "stunned" must be a whole lot different than mine. ermm

Stunned for moments?

And this is not a vs thread.

my question is, how many 'moments' does a character need to be stunned for, before it's considered a knockout?

A ref would have stepped in a pronounced that a win by knock out in the UFC. /shrug

Why would you say it's anything but stunned when he gets up almost immediatley in next issue's first page ? He let Konvikt have a free shot, was taken by surprise and fell down, stunned for a few moments, before he got right back up and continued the fight.

fanboy. uhuh

I'm almost tempted to show you how a knocked out Superman would look like, but the idiots would immediatley jump over and post the scans in every other Superman thread. ermm

Like I said, he got punched, fell down, and needed a few moments (and I literally mean moments) to get right back up. The time it took him to stand up and now the writer's statement is what makes me think that he wasn't knocked out. If you look only at #3's cliffhanger (Hater!) then yes, you would most likely think he was knocked out, but later events would beg to differ, imo (and Kurt Busiek's 😛)

Post the scans and prove it. 😈

Looks like a one-piece with a biscuit to me.

You like Zod.

So you're disqualified from having an opinion.

Yes they do. Ever watch MMA? If so then you've seen an opponent knocked silly to the canvas but still has conscience. Take a picture of the first moment they are laid out (eyes closed and everything). It would always appear that they were knock the .uck out.
