Celeyhyga: Hank's feats shit on those. Seriously, considering the tech he's grabbed, there's nothing you can find that will put Rider over hank.


This isn’t a contest of who is the better techno path. Why would it be? It’s not Nova or World Minds’ M.O.?

A better response would be; “what evidence does Nova w/WM have that his defenses are sturdy enough to hold off Hank”?

You then deduct if its within possibility to hold of hanks cyber hacking or not.

I fail to mention that Nova Prime is accessing World Mind. Not the watered down female version, as last seen. If its capacity is enough to hold back Ultron, and the Phalanx at bay. It should be enough to provide enough protection from Hanks technopathy.

At the very least, for a certain period of time.

As for the match. In terms of matching raw output, most seem to favor Cyborg. This is the same Cyborg that was getting pounded by Green Lanterns, simply put its durability is not up to par with Man of Steel. Nova on the other hand, has shown the capacity to collapse a White Dwarf early on… Don’t sleep on his power.

Though Hank seems to be un-killable, forum rules are clear about characters like him, and fall under the first time death = loss.

So no I don’t see this as a total mismatch. But carry on.

Ultron and the phalanx are not nearly the masters of technopathy that Hank is. Hacking new god tech puts him far above them.

Which example of him being pounded by GLs are you refering to? As for death, no one has killed him.....ever. He can't be killed by destroying his body no matter how many times you do it.

Hank also has pulled weapons on the fly to depower foes. Not to mention wrecking teams far stronger than any teams Ryder has faced. And let's not get into the fact that Henshaw has access to Sin Corp and GL rings and technology. Or that he can make them on the fly.

He was brought back to life by the manhunters when his body was destroyed in scorps war. I

I only brought up Ultron and the Phalanx because they are a good point of reference. Ultron has a strong history of taking over tech, which should be factored in. You know something for me to mention, that he some history in dealing with technopaths. Really this isn’t something that I would lobby to push cyber hack immunity, just a piece of information for you to keep in mind.

Hank isn’t the only one so has Brother Eye. Is this enough to warrant Brother Eye to be an equal Technopathic Powerhouse? Or maybe your placing to much stock on taking over New God tech?

But here is a better question, does New God tech come with fail safe parameters to keep it from being hacked? If so, what are its best points of reference?

I don’t recall, but the image of his limb falling off from an exchange with the GL’s is forever burned on mind.

Regardless if its not permanent, its still considered a temporary death, enough to fall under the k.O. clause set by the forum rules.

Hank has no record of Nova in his databanks, to even begin to pull off a depowering blast. Hank requires pre existing data to configure a counter strike. Not unless he has some form of Cosmic Awareness, or the likes for him to dial up info on the fly.

How do you quantify that? The phalanx take over entire worlds and their inhabitants. For example, it took over an entire solar system in a few minutes.

People are leaving out the storyline in the gl instance.

Hal and the other lanterns were amped 100x their original strength in the scenario in which they harmed henshaw. Unless you're talking about a separate instance...

Either way, henshaw wins.

the amp was to destroy the planet. hal was hurting him before that when he was destroying his body. its just a case of destroying his entire body that becomes a problem.

Phalanx transmode virus can also restore Celestial tech.

I was talking about this scene specifically.

As for the suits. Those suits powered a GL, to become planet wrekers. Nova Prime has the capacity to wreck a star. I would think Nova could do a tad more damage than Arisia.

who wins, id? id go with hank.

I would think Nova couldn't do more damage than a bloodlusted Guardian trying to vaporize Henshaw, no? Or wait, am I distracting your "I use the highest for Nova and lowest for Henshaw" routine?

Of course!

Hank Henshaw.

He made that feat seem rather mundane considering that Rich was only operating at a fraction of his normal power at the time.

Yo.

when Nova got taken over by the Phallanx, WM was fighting a (slowly but surely) *losing* war of attrition inside, so saying it would hold of HH as if it could do so indefinitely is incorrect, and as for Ultron I tbch dont remember it even trying to do so, so that not really a feat for Rich, nor a slight against that 'bot; it just means the attempt wasnt made.

as for this fight, if HH senses that his suit is tech, he gonna attempt to take it over, but the key factor is:

1) how long would it take him, 2) can WM fight him off, and 3) wat will Rich be able to do in the meanwhile?

Im not sure about #1, #2 doesnt look too viable given past showings, and I dont see much happening in the 3rd scenario.

but in a straight (no taking-the-suit battle), Id give the nudge to HH but its a pretty good fight.

When the group of heroes had Ultron on the ropes, he didnt attempt to "take over" NP/WM. Instead he tiok control of the cyborg chic. Praxagora?? This leads me to believe he prolly cant. If it was sooo easy to use "technopathy" on NP, Ultron would not hesitate to control such a vast well of power source like thw Nova force...

Accidentally put reply in ure quote..

The transmode took over the entire Kree solar system in minutes. That's include the tech. The WM was able to resist for a prolonged period of time even after Rider was infected. That speaks to its defenses against such attacks.

2) It's a moot point since the WM is no longer in Riders head.
