But the Psimitar also helped him internalize the same powers, for him to survive physical encounters he would otherwise lose.
You can belittle it all you want. But the measure of power did go up, with the use of Psimitar near the end of its dependence. Much more compared to what we saw in the 80/90's.
Unless you think he can survive city block smashing attacks under his own power? Its more than a fancy tazer.
Id might be onto something with the techno-virus. Minion had something similar that his healing was able to keep in check but not eradicate until his had the cure for it. Now, his healing is ridiculously uber, so anything Cable infects him with might not be the same strength. But it's worth thinking about.
In a raw power battle, Cable probably has more feats. Minion has some wins here though, most involving brawls where he either gives Cable feedback from all his personalities if Cable tries a psychic attack. Or cranial syphon attack to assimilate Cable. Cheap but effective. And Minion has Cl 100 strength and is made of the toughest material I've seen outside of adamantium.

It was directly stated that his fighting prowess was the result of all the fighters he assimilated. Really, the only one he didn't use was Reed's database. Which is a shame. One of his personalities also escapes at one point...it's the whole thing behind an entire story arc. So the writers didn't forget about it. Just underutilized it.

[B]I usta have all the DH2 books. It started out pretty durn good but fell apart pretty fast.
It was a real shame it and the entire MUK books tanked so fast. [/B]
Yeah, I broke them out, was all excited, started reading.
Then I got to a certain point and I remembered that the story falls off a cliff.
Too bad. It does start out great. I still think Minion was a great character though. Very powerful.

Minon had potential.
It's just, Simon Furman's Deaths Head had to get punked out to create the character. He goes from bounty hunting the ridiculously overpowered UK Galvatron, outsmarting Unicron, and making Scourge, Cylonus, and Rodimus Prime his bitchs, and even give Dr. Who trouble, to being just a plot device for someone elses pet character...
Although I guess it was kind of awesome that DHI's personality was so powerful, it basically took over Minon and continued to influence the dominant personality.. I was kind of hoping maybe the DHI personality would get copied/transferred to a rebuild of his original body, while Minion as Deaths Head II could continue on as another entity, but they never there...

Read it, and it was awesome. 😄
But was it DH's I? The original was shrunken by Dr. Who, and than absorbed by Minion. Given there was time travel involved courtesy of Dr. Who, this might be the "616" Deaths Head and S.W.O.R.D. DH might be alt reality/timeline versions distinct from each other, the same way "What If" versions of characters are similar but different from 616 mainstream.
Basically, a "rebooted" Deaths Head I, without he history behind the original.. Kind of hard to say, unless we see him in the future and he starts talking about his time fighting with giant transforming robots, like Furmans Deaths Head I did when he came over the the mainstream MU.
Another theory is that this is a much younger Deaths Head before he entered the Transformers universe. Supported by the fact "Freelance peacekeeping agent", which he referred to himself in the UK Transformers timeline all the time, was a new concept for him.
They never explained it, but the writer said: ""if you can't bring back a time-traveling dimension-skipper, who can you bring back?"".
Some believe it was him before he met the Transformers: http://itcamefromdarkmoor.blogspot.com/2009/12/deaths-head-is-back-yes-and-possibly.html
Death's Head II also appeared in Avengers #2 (2010)

How is it that suddenly there's a bunch of experts on Minion and the Death's Head stuff? For years it was just me. Then Mungi. And that was literally it. Leo knew a little, but only because I fed him scans for a tourney he entered. I remember borderline making things up in DHII threads, and no one was there to call my sh*t. It was fun times.

Minion was a good character in his own right. They both had short but cool runs.

I followed Avengers in 2010. When did this happen?
And yeah, it's not hard to bring back any of the Death's Heads.

I was lookin' for trouble.
I wanted to see if I could even get somebody to discuss the poor guy. Even through outrage.
No dice. 🙁 There weren't a lot of fans.
I don't think he could beat those guys. But, I DID always think the idea of the "multiple personalities" had a lot of potential for raising him above his physical level.
Who knows what he could have accessed?

I knew about him '06 but didn't say much about him. My respect thread came out in '07. I was mostly saving him for a tourney, and didn't want to educate people too much beforehand.
