Shaw thinks Emma betrayed him and is out for blood. Pete seeing Shaw hitting Emma immediately settles to give Shaw a beat down, cos' no one hits a lady...or Emma Frost. Emma getting the wrong idea attacks Pete and he decides if your not with me you're against
Emma and Pete are in their Diamond and Metal forms respectively
And yeah, Colossus found out how Shaw's powers worked when they fought, he knows to just choke him out or toss him a couple miles away. Emma knows the same thing. Once he's gone, Emma's durable, but not too strong in comparison.
sebastian shaw would tear diamond emma apart. colossus only wins if he bfrs or chokes shaw early on the fight, which might not be possible with emma's interference
Oh yeah. I remember that now. Her diamond form stood up to everything he threw at her. She ran away just fine, dodged just fine. She wasn't even hurt when she turned back. She just wasn't strong enough to fight back, especially since any hits she made would only boost him.
And keep in mind he was already boosted by falling a few thousand feet. That's a massive jump from his standard.
What someone thinks and the reality of the situation can be different. Because despite what she "thought", she was perfectly fine.
And as I said, he was massively boosted at the time. He'd just fallen a few thousand feet. The kinetic energy from that probably would have overloaded older Shaw.
