I liked that as well. He'l just seems more concerned with Superboy than anybody...he keeps trolling the kid.
Seems like Superboy lost his TK abilities with that suit being on him...its being replaced with Super Human stats (strength, durability, etc...). Either way, I'm enjoying the character.
The premise of JenWaltJupiter was that gamma radiation magnified her base, human-level, physical strength.
Going on that idea, this storyline had her undergo months of intense physical training. So that Jen became much stronger AT her base, HUMAN level.
Apparently this was combined with Jen ALSO getting another large exposure TO gamma radiation, frequently attributed to increasing the strength of physical Hulk characters throughout comic history, and alluded to here ...
... so that, AFTER the Red Zone adventure,
and AFTER her exposure to strong radiation,
and AFTER her months of intense physical training as Jen Walters,
and not She-Hulk,
when Jen finally transforms from human to She-Hulk form ...
she is exponentially stronger.
In fact, even in that machine-press story, it seems she continues her rigorous strength training, as, a little bit less than a month after THAT point ...
Her realization that she is stronger than Hercules from that armwrestling contest may be even more impressive when stopping to consider Jen is wearing the difficulty-increasing Jupiter suit in THAT instance as well ...
