Sure we can give them the benefit of the doubt because they're near invincible gods but guys like Batman and Iron Fist have no excuse for throwing punches like 12 year old girls.
you see how hyperion is punching with his left hook? fist should be vertical, pinky to the ground. he'd mess up his hand or wrist like that.
Originally posted by RaisenThat's how I throw a hook full force at a rock hard bag without gloves. Or used to when I used to punch things.
almost positive it doesn't work like that bro.
but oh well. it's comics.
My hands were like rocks and my wrists never got hurt. Now even punching things properly without hooks my wrists get hurt due to not hitting anything anymore.
Basically we assume Hyperion doesn't have weak wrists/hands.

maybe you got away with it because you weren't hitting hard as you thought you were and the pain now is attributed to hitting wrong years ago bro. you're using specious logic I believe.
Leave it to the girls to show em how it's done...you can see PG's training from Wildcat:

The pain now is entirely due to me having weak wrists now. It was the exact same before I built them up hitting the hardest spot of the bag for an hour almost every day.

yeah, powergirls upper cut looks proper.
only flaw I saw in those scans was how ww blocked in the first one. it wouldn't allow her for a quick counter.
need to block with thumb towards body

i'll take your word for it bro.
I'm not claiming to be a pro or anything at all but I boxed for years. got my daughter into it too. I honestly don't think any trainer in any kind of martial arts would want you hitting like that tho. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't seem healthy at all.
Originally posted by RaisenOh no, it hurts like hell when you haven't built anything up.

It's the same type of concept with the monks and newspapers on walls. They start off small and then rail on it. You build it up enough and you can pretty much punch anyway you want. Even like Fedor... probably without breaking anything...

I just fought through it until I could. Most people wouldn't do that without gloves.It's the same type of concept with the monks and newspapers on walls. They start off small and then rail on it.

honestly. the tilt of the hand can be so slight that it's hard to describe. a person would have to see it. but hyperion's hand looked all wrong
