The didn't beat him into submission. The entire world was basically after this guy and it was just him against them all.
I think destroying the entire country was cool not that anyone else couldn't do it it's just they wouldn't do it. His ferocity is what impressed me.
Ok, if there are people stronger, faster, and more powerful then how isn't it impressive? If he's contending with an army of superheroes who are these things then how is him keeping up not impressive? You seem to want it both ways. You can't.
Who else has done so? Who else took on all these forces? You keep saying anyone could do it, but who has?
It was impressive you just ware being rather ridiculous here. I'd like some examples to of other top tiers taking on as many challengers as BA did while fighting solo.
I'm not downplaying anything. I'm telling you like it happened.
Fighting like a rabid animal while his opponents were fighting like mental retards with their power sets. First of all Martian Manhunter never attacked Black Adam with anyone helping him. He attacked him twice, and did so alone as I recall. Having 5 characters, and only 1 with barely above human level durability attack you is NOT impressive. Without their power sets, Alan Scott, Dr. Light, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart, are NOT impressive. They are human. Firestorm is the only one with some enhanced durability and that's questionable at best as to what level, and Black Adam simply knocked him away.
I don't see how a bunch of heroes, attacking you, looking at the occurrence is impressive at all. They floated there while some attacked, the human level durability ones charged in and were put down. Then Power Girl etc. attacked him. It wasn't impressive at all to me. They could have. After a while Martian Manhunter came in, and rocked Adam's world in a single hit. Then Alan Scott flew in and was restraining him without any problem. He didn't seem to be going anywhere. Marvel flew in just at the right moment though.
Again, killing humans is not impressive. Him throwing a sissy feat isn't either. He was just blood lusted and back to his usual self before he tried to play the Anti-Hero/Hero role.
It's not impressive because being called weaker when the line up is made up of Power Girl, and Donna Troy in terms of physical prowess is just sad. And it's not impressive because the only characters who do impress me, attacked him as humans and were tripping over themselves. The only ones he went toe to toe with that I know the names of, were Power Girl, Atom Smasher, and Donna Troy. Steel once too I think dive bombed him but that's about it.
I could easily reference Deathstroke taking on the Justice League or Prometheus for one. Heck, Superman defeating the army of Doomsday clones with his heat vision impressed me more. Or Batman with Superman's powers taking on the Justice League(From Superman/Batman. Is that cannon?). The heroes were all extremely ineffective on all the examples I listed. It wasn't impressive. The heroes were just stupid. Although the Prometheus one was an impressive display of tactical knowledge.
No Top Tier has ever taken on these many heroes, and knocked them around, because no Top Tier would be able to, unless the heroes are fighting like mental retards. Hence why you have Deathstroke doing it, and not say
