Er I think what I said was that they followed his lead to an extent ie in other words they agreed to an extent to do some of the things he wanted them to do, and the point is it's still impressive that it happened.
Originally posted by DeadlineThey were following his lead to an extent and Norman had to have clout for them even to meet and work with him to a degree.
Because that did actually happen.
But why is it impressive?
It's literally like Pr and Bada allowing you to act like a global mod....but the instant you step out of line, they perma ban you.
Does it say anything about your leadership skills? Your debating technique? No...you're literally only doing what you can because you're allowed by the real mods who are sitting by the sidelines, waiting for you to implode.
If anything, Osborne only had any semblance of control because he had the Sentry at his beck and call. The mods are scared of your friendship with Goober, not of you.

Yea it's impressive for them to even turn up in the first place. Y'know Dr Doom this is the guy who temporarily had The Beyonder's power, actually succeded in temporarily conquering the earth. Somebody like that doesn't even turn up if he doesn't think you have weight. I get the example but Pr and Bada aren't major supervillains
No it wasn't just because of Sentry it was because he was the head of HAMMER. I think that technically made him the most powerful man in America. Norman also said to Sentry when he was acting up that Doom would take him out...and that got him to calm down. So I don't know to what extent that was a factor to them listening to him. Bare in mind that Sentry did what Norman wanted because he convinced him to. Yea Sentry isn't that smart but as I was saying before Norman was doing and balancing a lot of other stuff as well.

Except....the comic made it explicitly clear that it was because of Sentry, lol.
......
That didn't stop Doom from making his own plans:
Moreover, the one time Osborne said no to Doom, this happened, lol:
Doom utterly humiliated Osbourne in combat.
