Never read up on PC Karate Kid.
Sounds like he was a shit character.
That wouldn't make sense anyway. Skill means nothing if your brain and muscles operate at a slug's pace (being generous) compared to someone else's. So his training probably granted him some 'chi' like amp or some shit.

Pretty much everything I know about PC Karate Kid is from scans and reading others talk about what he did. But apparently, his skill was at such a high level that he might as well had powers. He was able to hold his own against Pre-CRISIS Kryptonians and Daxamites despite being a normal human, able to use his skill against both their strength AND speed.
Yeah, doesn't make sense. But that's how he was often portrayed based on what I've seen and read.

Is that even canon? It's from Marvel's "MAX" line of comics for "adult" audiences.
Thor:Vikings is canon. Most MAX series are not because they contradict the main Marvel universe, like the aging of Punisher, or things like Deadpool MAX which is an entirely retelling of the character´s history. But surprisingly there are some, like this one, that are consider canon, because it doesn´t contradict or conflicts with the main Thor or Doctor Strange history. This was published as a MAX series mainly because it had some gore elements and Marvel back then send everything that had a little more mature content into the MAX imprint, plus Garth Ennis preferred to keep working on MAX.

Yeah I am not buying it.
Herald whopping on a noncanon Thor is not impressive.
Lobo breaks him, because his character is bent on doing the impossible and his rank scales to canon characters.
again the story is canon because it did not contradict thor and dr. strange history (at that time), Harald was even included in the marvel universe handbook

Its not about contradiction. Its the fact that it was published under the subcompany, and these stories are treated under their own canon. Unless I am forgetting some forum rule here. And God knows I do, its been over 10 years since I started posting here. This has long bin established as the canon law when we deal with characters like Harald.

The reason why it was published under the MAX imprint because it contained some gore elements in it. another example of a MAX series that considered to be canon is "Alias"

I am speaking about the scene when he used his chain and hook to go through Gawd's forcefield.
Lobo do stuff like that all the time.
