He knows Superman inside out, and more importantly, the guy DOES know other characters very well - say what you will about his interpretation of scans, but he knows of them. Surprising him with a Surfer scan is going to be extremely hard to do.
Conversely, do you guys believe that you know Superman well enough to not be surprised by what he's going to post? You just know Abhi has in his pocket somewhere a scan from 1993 where Superman does some weird crazy shiet, never to be referenced again or whatever.
You need to understand that whenever abhi makes a claim, you should always fact-check and read them carefully. He's made several claims, that turned out false or the context was left out, e.g:
- Claimed Superman one-shot KO'd Orion. Never happened. Superman punts Orion away and makes a run for it. No art or dialogue indicating a KO or even that Orion was hurt.
- Claimed Orion KO'd Superman via cheap-shot. False. They were already trading blows when Orion KO's Superman via blast. Superman was staring right at him.
- Claimed DCNU Superman and Ulysses tanked a planet explosion. Never happened. They're clearly shown escaping the explosion just in time.
- Claims Superman took on the JLA and the JLA needed kryptonite to kill him. Neglects to mention Superman was amped via sundip.
- Claimed DCNU Doomsday energy drained an entire race of Kyrptonians to death. Never happened. He gave me the issue#, I checked; no dialogue or art depicting anything of the sort...at all.
- Claimed Superman held a solar-system busting black hole in his hand. False. The black hole was barely warping the room. Batman was present, he later claimed Batman tanked a solar system busting black hole. lol.
- Claimed Surfer was KO'd by Firelord twice. Never happened. Surfer fought Firelord three times, won twice, and third fight never finished. Claims Surfer was unconscious, even though his eyes are open and he's still talking. lol.
- Implied Superman would stomp Orion. Never happened, and refuses to post scans of their 1on1 fights, which are always stalemates.
- Claims Superman held back in his fight with Orion. No proof. Contradicts statements in the comic e.g., Superman says "If it's a fight you want Orion...YOU GOT I!T!" and another statement "They'll kill each other, stop!"
This is just off the top of my head, there's much more. I guess abhi figures no one would actually check the comics, it's a b!tch to do. But when you do, turns out a lot of the claims are bull poop.
And there's no such thing as a "Surfer camp" or "Surfer fanboys." If you look closely, people who call abhi out are made up of a pretty diverse group of fans (e.g., Hulk fans, Thor fans, Nova fans, Sentry Fans, even DC fans etc.) who are just fed up with the false claims and low-balling/character assassination style of his posts.
That's my two cents.🍺
