You need to read his appearance in Damage Control! (we miss you, Dwayne McDuffie) Oh, and for badass - read the "When Doom Defaults" issue. ("Do you have ID? ..... Do you have photo ID?")

Endless Mike posted:Also someone later decided that people who pick the sword are wrong and there's a whole corps of Lionhearts who are all assholes with swords. That someone would be Claremont, when he created Captain Britain? The whole point is to NOT pick the sword because if you do that you're picking a weapon to hurt people. The amulet is literally the amulet of RIGHT. It's not a hard test. Albeit it's one Austen failed.

Wasn't the point in Universe X that there actually wasn't a choice, just a false duality?

Given that she ends up dying because even though she is wielding an indestructible shield, she's a normal housewife and doesn't have the training/physical strength to fend off super strong attacks, I think Thunderball won that argument.

But the shield is supposed to completely absorb all kinetic energy she should just be standing there and the ball hits the shield and drops to her feet every time

Yeah. If it worked the way that page says, Cap's shoulder would be dust. He's just a really strong dude, not Thor.

I always thought that the vibranium absorbed a large amount of the force, and caps enhanced strength allows him to endure the rest. That lady just being a regular person could not.

Didn't 1 guy get to be Cap because the other 30 guys trying to catch the shield broke their arm/shoulder?
