No I got it, it's just faulty logic as the probes have steamrolled through various members of the JLA and that's not including the incident I mentioned already
So following your logic the whole story was PIS/CIS then?
Even if that were true, that doesn't explain away them sonning Zod (twice), one-shotting Supergirl, beating Supes + Mongul, etc. OWAW was pretty sure to portray the Probes as being very powerful. (which is why it took DD and a non-holcing back Supes to finally beat them) It's disingenuous to play the PIS/CIS card given everything that they did.
By showing, for some strange reason the probes were weaker during the time Supes and Doomsday fought them. It was NUMEROUS of times where Superman fought a probe out of anger and it was pretty obvious that he wasnt holding back but those probes, I guess Imperex didnt give them enough juice.
The Outsiders (Dr. Light, Geo-Force, etc.) defeated one with no casualties in antarctica. Hippolyta and Aquaman both killed ones (though both dying in the process), and WW off-screen killed another too (Diana and Hippolyta were attacked by two, Hippy killed one of 'em, and before that there was a brief scene of one of the Wonders, it was hard to tell due to armor, holding off both Probes at once).
Then for another stronger example, a Purple Probe matched Superman blow for blow for awhile after it had taken down the Titans (Starfire, Donna, etc.), and this was after the DD/Supes fight where he took a few in a row rapidly, he was still plenty angry and not wounded yet that one was able to give him more fight than it's brother probes.
Lets not even bring up the fact that Hippolyta took out two probes by just throwing a ship to the head and taking it off. Then we have the scene where Supergirl and Black lightning stalemated one and then took it out with an explosion that wasnt even comparable to a nuke, hell, it didnt even do that much damage to the surrounding area and black lightning was still standing.
Then Wonder Woman took out one with a shield to the back of the head and the list goes on. I wasnt impressed at all by the probes. It was a selected few that was impressive and even then it wasnt at a rate that people here are putting them.
The JLA just fought the probes like dimwits... hell, if we go by all the people that have dropped the JLA and say that they could beat anyone then we would have walking skyfathers in DCU. Hell, Despero took out the JLA AND the JSA but got one shotted by Superman and almost got stalemated by the martian.
