If he is impressed by shields that can stand up to planetary-level attacks, well....

She maintained it for most of the comic issue, too.
Originally posted by SmurphMaker used *some* kind of shielding more recently:
Eh I might buy that if his shield shows up again but his dialogue at least implies that she's accomplished something that he might be hard pressed to easily replicate outside of his home reality. Which.... is bad writing but between that and Toni sending him running on the next page, it certainly didn't give the impression that an uber shield is his standard gear anymore.I assume this thread is referring to that panel in Secret Wars though. Unless the shield has resurfaced?
...So it's still an option for him, but not one that tends to be explored very often. The guy is already haxx enough as it is without also spamming uber personal shields, lol.
See, I didn't get the vibe that Toni's shields were necessarily beyond Maker's capabilities or w/e(I don't think that was really even implied, tbh.) Just that he was impressed by their ability to soak blasts from a planetary weapon... Something most big-brains in comics would find worthy of recognition, imo. /shrug
But no, Maker honestly can't match Sue/Mags in a feat war when it comes to force-fields. Sure his shields are undoubtedly OP, but they're... Ambiguously OP, if that makes sense? I just like poking DS(and Phil?) until he(they?) arises from his(their?) slumber(slumbers?)
