W.W. Bracers vs. B.B. Scream

Yes. Another misperception is the physicality of the bracers -- while "metallic" in terms of touch/seeming, they are in fact the hide of Amalthea, and capable of repelling virtually any attack of virtually any nature.

HOWEVER...

There are plenty of instances where, if WW/Athena/Zeus/whoever couldn't wield them/it in time, or understand *how* to manifest its power, then they wouldn't be of immediate use/protection. (An excellent example in WW's case is posted down in the "Martian Manhunter vs. Magneto" thread; although it has a scan meant to show how MM is vulnerable to heavy magnetic attack, that scan also shows how WW was "physically" held by Dr. Polaris' electrical/magnetic attack -- this was due to her getting caught off guard and not being able to deflect the attack by crossing her bracers, etc, and because while resistant to electrical attack, she isn't as resistant as Captain Marvel, Superman, et al...)

magneto would still have control over them even if she crosses them cause he can manipulate metal. even if he couldnt manipulate the bracers all he needs is a paperclip to wrap around em

*Possibly*

Magneto/Polaris directly affecting the Bracers is very writer/story dependant. Your paperclip example wouldn't cut the mustard, as even Magneto would not be able to focus sufficient power through such a small foci to have that much of an effect on WW (who is nearly as strong as Superman).

However... if he used other, larger, materials to bind/restrain her, then that certainly could have a chance of working, as the bracers wouldn't directly repel such as attack, per se, beyond Diana's attempting to deflect the material in the first place. If Magneto/Polaris used his powers on Promethium (using DC for simplicity's sake) and in turn managed to bind WW with it, then she would be in some serious trouble, as Promethiums resiliance coupled with Mag/Pol 's powers would be difficult to counter, to say the least.

If she is ready for it then I would say yes. The Scream V.S. her bracers, I believe the bracers should protect her.

but the scream isnt only just gonna hit exactly where she blocks. the scream effects a wide range

?

You didn't read page one of this topic, did you?

Diana's bracers are not like Captain America's shield, in the sense of being "merely" indestructable -- they are the Aegis, and capable of repelling attacks (particularly energy) in a manner greater than their physical presence would indicate. Now, how *large* an area is very much writer/story dependant -- from what I have seen in WW and JL, not much larger than herself/arm's length. So protecting someone else is a dicey thing, and very circumstantial. But protecting her, herself, is well within the pervue of the bracers.

Anyway, Diana's bracers would protect her.

she blocks it until it rips a hole in reality where she get sucked into and is never to be heard from again

His scream would be deflected back upon himself and he would die.

B.S. 🙄

And come to think of it, A scream should break every bone in her body.

I seen her block wide range attacks, powerful ones at that. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if she would be able to block a wide spread scream.

To be honest Her bracers is a major part of who she is and what she is capable of. Without it she would be far far less formidable.

what if he doesnt stop screaming...it cant be deflected then

What's the matter?

While IMO, Zeuodin is exaggerating a little (Diana's finessing of obtuse energy attacks like that is very dicey), it isn't completely ungrounded: she done things like that before.

Now, what would happen to BB if she managed to reflect a portion of his attack back at him? I leave that for others to debate...

False, BB has complete control of his powers. It's not like a laser, Shoot and forget he controls it completely. If anything trying to deflect it would be a bad idea.

I loved the JL episode where WW blocked a bolt of lightning with her bracelets and the Flash said dumbfounded "There are so many reasons why that shouldn't have worked."
CIS?/PIS? Take your pick. 🙂

neither actually 😬

Because the Bracers did exactly what their supposed to do/have the power to do? (And that's within the context of the relatively underpowered presentations of WW, Superman, and some others, in the series -- in the comics of that same period(2001-2006), they had already been presented as much more powerful/versatile, for years, than the show indicated. Still not a bad series, though...)
