As Nero Danced posted:I don't know if this is something that's ever brought up in the comics, but what are the extent of Eve's powers? I'm trying to avoid falling into the same questions that would come up with Dr. Manhattan and his powers (my first version of this question was "why doesn't she turn Omni-Man's brain into chocolate pudding"), but could she have done anything to stop Omni-Man? I thought she already mentioned why she can/can’t do certain things with her powers but I can’t find a scene of her spelling it out yet in the show. All she’s said so far is that she can manipulate molecules on the atomic level. They’ll go more into it later for sure.

Revealing her whole power set would be major spoilers. I do hope they finish the whole story so that they are fully revealed.

Wheeee posted:Eve power spoiler sans story context: Uhh then how does she rebuild that forest and accelerate the farmer's crops' growth? Logically there should be no reason why she can manipulate one type of molecule but not others. It's probably better explained that she has ethical reasons for not manipulating living cells, and/or that she's still so inexperienced that she's never tried. I would be surprised if she is not an integral part of defeating Nolan/other Viltrumites in the future. edit: Disclaimer I have not read the comic

The problem with Atom Eve is even if she can do all kinds of crazy green lantern bullshit, she's still just as tough as a regular person and can only think/move as fast as one too. Plenty of time Omni-Man dicks around slow enough that regular soldiers can shoot him, but if he went full speed he could take her out before she could react. Reminds me of this old bit from Injustice.

Wheeee posted:The show got me to read the comics and while I'm not big on comics they were a decent read. I liked that they basically were, as others have mentioned, sort of a big melting pot of all the typical comic stories and tropes all mixed up, good times. It does really blur the line between fighting fascism and advocating fascism. I honestly don't know what you're meant to walk away from it thinking.

always chuckle at stuff like this where you realize if particular superheroes wanted to, they could end a fight in nanoseconds, but don't cause of plot contrivance and such.

Invincible the comic mostly ends up advocating fascism because it’s got that kinda dumb short sighted nerd thing going on where they think that meritocracy is a real thing and that if you just put The Right People In Charge everything will be great and whoops we’ve wound up in an accidental dictatorship how did that happen. Well it’s probably not important as long as we say “peace” a lot.

The super hero team from the first episode included both a speedster and someone who could go incorporeal at will, but he still got them.

So it seems like he has a really high top speed but unlike heroes like The Flash he needs to cover a large distance to hit full speed.

Mark and Nolan can propel themselves forward with crazy force but I don't think they have the perception of someone like the flash or the russian speedster from the show. Nolan does have 1000+ years of killing dudes under his belt though so it works out fine for him

It's a fun running gag in the comics that everyone assumes Mark has super hearing and he has to constantly remind everyone he doesn't have generic Superman powers.

They're just super strong and tough and can fly really fast. This doesn’t track. Nolan literally couldn’t function as shown in the show if his eyes and ears couldn’t keep up with what he was doing, he wouldn’t have the reaction time to dodge other super humans/viltrumites like he clearly does. Mark is shown in the first episode to hear someone screaming for help from multiple blocks away.

Hearing someone scream for help a couple blocks away is just a normal human ability though. There is a lot of high speed stuff that Nolan probably can do on reflex rather than perception. With enough experience it would hardly be an issue moving your arm into place as you do something faster than your brain can process it. Flash et al's super speed includes the ability to speedster process high level thought too, which is mostly a just an unneeded luxury in a fight.

It says something about Nolan's opinion of non-Viltrumites (and his character in general) when he says that Red Rush was sub-tier because super speed isn't "a primo super power" yet when you pay attention to the fight against the Guardians you notice that Red Rush actually contributes the most out of everyone. He constantly moves people out of the way of Nolan's blows, he still lays a pretty good licking on him. Red Rush, as a Flash knock-off, is pretty terrifying in terms of capabilities

Around here I didn't hear a shootout that happened three blocks away, and the furthest I've heard a car collision is around the one block mark. When I hear a loud crunch but no breaking glass I don't even get up.
