It being a drawn a beam doesn't make it a continuos beam. The vast majority of energy attacks in comics are drawn as a beam. Even bullets at times. It being drawn as a beam literally proves nothing of the amount of time it takes. But it's cute how you try to pull things out of your butt all the time.

No one is denying that he reabsorbed the power. Why do you keep bringing back something that is not being debated?

Why should that be PIS? Galactus blasted him with a beam meant to depower him. Why should he think it did anything other than depower him?

You do understand we (or Galactus) don't necessarily have to "feel" something we absorb right? The same way we know we absorb nutrients when we eat. It's the act of putting food in our mouth (or, in this respect, blasting someone with a beam) that tells us we've absorbed something. It actually makes sense as the PC in his herald is so minute compared to his that he probably doesn't even notice whether he absorbs it or not.

Galactus shot him with a beam that absorbs. As an aftereffect Surfer would be depowered. Galactus can sense the power cosmic well as he did against Rulk. After draining Rulk he knew exactly that he's from Earth.

OP says both SS and Bats are in character.
I highly doubt once Batman fakes his death SS is going to use super hearing AT THE FUNERAL, to discover Batman pulled a fast one.

You're right, because he'd know Batman was actually alive the entire time.

Haha!

bullets shown as beams? You have truly lost it. We know that they are bullets.

You know what? I'm not going to waste anymore of my time until you clarify your position completely. Backtracking, trolling and passing the buck is your M.O. So, I'll make sure that we get everything ironed out before proceeding.

So, your criteria for a continuous beam of energy that has a noticeable time frame was:

0 gaps.
Beam.

Gap
noun
: a space between two people or things*
: a hole or space where something is missing*
: a missing part
: a separation in space*

Beam
noun
: a line of light coming from a source (such as the sun or a headlight)*
: a line of energy, particles, etc., that cannot be seen
: a long and heavy piece of wood or metal that is used as a support in a building or ship

*- possible definitions I assume you're using.

So, something drawn as a line of light with no seperation of space. Correct? (Y/N)

But the tactic of him using it to prevent depowerment is.

Then we can discuss it when the next writer features it. 😉

For now, deglaze = resist depowerment.

He fooled galactus into thinking he was depowered including destroying his board. At no point did he actually resist draining.

Wait, you actually believe that? Lulz.

He fooled Galactus into thinking he was depowered yes.

Doesn't remove the fact that he was hit with the beam meant to depower him.

So, he fooled the beam into not depowering him? What are you trying to say here?

He fooled galactus to not depower him entirely.

He was hit, it doesn't mean that was supposed to instantly depower him. That's the whole point of that scene, surfer needed time to get at full power after whatever energies he lost.

Ooooh, look at you Abhi! Nitpicking "feats" now, huh? /highfive 😉

Why wouldn't it instantly depower him? And where was it stated on panel that Galactus needs time* to depower his heralds? It only took one panel to depower Morg. And why would Galactus even stop mid-depowerment? One would think that he would know how long it takes to depower his own heralds.

Edit. *-time enough to notice someone depowered and to shunt off one's eye beam, that is.

Agree to disagree at this point.

I thought Nib was a new poster, but he seems to know who's buttons to try and push much too well. Name change?

Nah, been here a good 3+ years. Stopped last year due to new baby/wife.

On vacation now and dropping by the forums to stretch my debating muscles til end of the month...

Ha, okay.
Muscle atrophy explains a LOT.

Yeah, a bit rusty. That and I'm posting on an ipad these days making formatting a nightmare. >_<

Not long ago, I was posting from Nokia C5, now that was a nightmare 😛

I just realized that we are arguing about stupid shit. We both agree that it was an energy beam right? Lasers are energy beams. The beam was used to absorb (suck) energy or power. Do you agree with that?

Other than that what are we really arguing about? Galactus shot Surfer with a beam that was meant to absorb his power back unto Galactus.
Surfer tricked Galactus by desilvering quickly. Galactus released his beam because he thought Surfer was depowered (PIS). Galactus went away. Surfer slowly resilvered.

Galactus easily knows if he's absorbing power or something is resisting him from sucking power. Surfer kept just enough to power back up after Galactus left.
