Kneel Before ZOD (Man of Steel)

they shot a rocket launcher at him, and instead of being knocked back, he absorbed the impact and was not moved from his position.

It blew up.. Zod would continue to be in motion.. Kinds different. Plus Zod just needs to hold him and then move he doesn't need to tackle him so if a tackle would fail I'd imagine the Military leader of the kryptonian race could bring himself to explore other tactics other than bull rushing.

I don't even think that's something Zod would do. He displayed no such tactics in the movie. he'd likely just keep hitting Shaw.

If he realized what Shaw is doing, admittedly a big if, then do you really think Zod is just going to keep punching him?

People seem to forget Magneto killed Shaw with a phuckin coin....ermm

After he had his powers neutralized by Xavier's mind****ing. Which seems to be Shaw's only weakness.

Does he need to be? Hal was never a speedy fighter. I know he could travel faster than light but that was never applied in a fight by him. Zod's combat speed is far superior than Hal's so grabbing Hal wouldn't be a problem

If he didn't surely Shaw would have used his power against Magneto. He doesn't just absorb energy, he could have caused an explosion and killed him easily.

Where was it stated that Charles turned off his powers?

So...if Heat Vision is bad then BFR in space is an option right?

A part of me kind of wishes Freeze Breath was introduced but I can see why that would be a bad idea.

While no one said "Hey, I'm turning off his powers", it was clearly implied, considering the man had no problem tanking a grenade, bullets, RPG, absorbing a nuclear reactor and shrugged off metal girders slamming into him.

If you don't like "turned off", then another way of looking at it is that Charles had stopped Shaw from keeping his powers active.

I'm certain Charles told Moira to shut up so he could concentrate on controlling Shaw.

you're half right; I don't leave any open that I think are spite.

This fight starts with Zod and Hal a foot away from each other?

Superman was faster in combat than Hal and Zod closed the distance pretty fast. Hal wouldn't dodge him

Whats the best h2h feat Hal has? The sword fight with Sinestro? Compare that to the speed of the h2h in man of steel and he is completely out classed, hal wasnt that different from that sword fight by the end of the film tbh. Add in constructs and Hal has more of a chance but still has to try and deal with speed and strength he hasn't come across before.. As is Parallax was slow and his body was easily burrowed into by a construct and was a little shapeless (it's head going from one end to another just to chase him) and all he did was suck fear skeletons and shoot giant slow bolts of yellow energy..oh and die. Zod should put a serious hurting on the space cop.

who said anything about dodging? Zod has to come at him... Hal could just keep putting obstacles in zod's path, then drop a sun on his dome.

Also how much force do you think is needed to break a construct?
