Thanks, but that's exactly why he loses this thread. A PISless Reed is a depowered Reed, reduced to fighting Spider-Man's D-list rogues gallery.
When the OP declared no PIS, I believe he meant no PIS as pertains to the characters doing something stupid/not fighting their best for the sake of moving foward a given story...

I think that falls under Character-Induced Stupidity, which is also prohibited for the purposes of this thread.
Reed's tech consists almost entirely of handheld plot devices.
Originally posted by Eternal Idolthats not the same thing at all. the phsyical power produced by richards's machines really is that great, unlike cap's and batman's blows.
So are the jobber auras of Captain America and Batman... doesn't make it any more credible when Cap hurts the Hulk, or when Batman outmaneuvers Kryptonians.
if richards was suddenly shown as able of creating something historically beyond his grasp without any explanation simply for the sake of the plot or if he beat someone using a strategy or power level that has been shown innefective in the past you'd have a solid pis claim, otherwise reed is just that haxed.

Constantine has gotten the upperhand on the Presence himself, with simply his cunning alone. Not to mention other multiversal/universal entities. He's quite dangerous and he doesn't need all that fancy tech to do it.
Those are all just PIS/CIS, nothing more.
Constantine even if he were to live for Eternity, and the Presence telling him his plans, Constantine would never have a chance in Hell and one upping the Presence.

Reed's devices are fueled by PIS."Hey Stretcho! Where'd you get that doohickey?"
"Oh, hello, Ben. I built it last week."
"What's it do?"
"I dunno. Kills Celestials or something."
"Well, how do you know it works? You ain't even tested it yet."
"Because I built it."
Yet he still can't cure Ben for good. 😉

"Ah.... How 'bout that gizmo over there?"
"Subatomic particle rearranger."
"And that?"
"Squirrel Girl Neutralizer."
"So, uh, you wouldn't happen to have a zapper here that'll turn me back into the everloving blue-eyed Ben Grimm, would ya?"
"Sorry, old friend. That's beyond my grasp."
