well, i'm pleasantly surprised i didn't see the bubble in the brain trick called on immediately. lol that said, i suppose it is a reasonably viable tactic that he has used. maybe he wouldn't go for it right away, but if she goes for a tp assault, i wonder if he could fight it off long enough to use that attack?
not sure HOW it would go if it came to h2h/ close quarters. her healing would keep her pretty safe, but his malleable form would make it hard to hurt him. a nova blast would certainly get her attention, but she'd survive it for sure. ultimately, if may HAVE to come down to a tp shut down, or a brain bubble. be very tough for them to put each other down some other way. this would be a really cool battle in a book methinks.
