a. We're assuming hank fights doom here. I'm not saying he would certainly do so, its a hypothetical situation.
b. He is a technopath, its in his nature. C'mon jake, why wouldn't he hack A TECHNOLOGICAL ARMOR. Even fighting doomsday clone, he was controlling watchtower for lulz.
c. In hurting hank, no. Stopping his technopathy absolutely unless you have a scan of his magic stopping technopathy.
This is just a rant, jake. Its not like you. You're going too far in doom's defense. Actually, what's retarded is saying magic can stop technopathy which I've never seen.
Its superman.
Not really.
Magic in of itself doesn't counter technopathy - I never said that to begin with - but given that Doom can immobilize Hank, BFR him, or just bombard him with mystical assaults or summon creatures to attack him, it gives him a fighting chance to prevent Hank from even doing so. And that's assuming Hank immediately goes after Doom in this fight over Thanos and Void and immediately attempts to hack Doom and Doom just...watches, I guess. If you can show me Hank instantly hacking something as potent as Doomtech in the midst of a combat situation while being actively resisted, I'd appreciate it.
A.) Right, so we're arbitrarily arguing one of several possible hypothetical scenarios in how this fight could unfold.
B.) Which is why he didn't instantly hack Green Lanterns while fighting him even though he possesses the ability to - within time - corrupt Oan technology. He's battled Steel before and didn't resort instantly hacking his armor. Hank generally relies on his weapons and Kryptonian powers in the midst of combat. So, again, we're arguing a hypothetical scenario in which Hank would not only fight Doom, but fight Doom in a manner which has been arbitrarily decided upon just because.
C.) This was already addressed.
It's not a rant at all. This entire diversion started when I responded to the idea that Doom was a "weak link" which given his capabilities and his formidability here, that simply isn't true. That comment was then strawmanned (terribly) into me claiming that Thanos and Void are weaker than Doom. This entire "Doom vs. Henshaw" debacle is contingent on Hank fighting Doom to begin with and hacking Doom without interruption or interference from the other parties or Doom himself. Again, for the umpteenth time, there are too many possible scenarios in which this fight could unfold to just assume that this is how the fight definitely plays out.
It was PIS. Superman being Superman doesn't change that.
