If Steppenwolf would have had his axe knocked away the AM would have still went for killing attacks against him.
If he doesn't have the propensity to do so, then he won't do it from the get go- something you have argued many a time.
So prove he has the propensity.
So he DID go for a killing blows against Superman, having just been told to restrain him by WW, and having just brought him back from the dead?
Whatever happened to writer's intent *sigh*.
Your made up story sounds fascinating, though, it really does.
Would love to see close-ups of this 'bladed trident' though.
