What was your INITIAL REACTION to Silver Surfer going out like this?

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

 

[screwface]

SURFER LET HIM DO THAT


But yeah, the infamous armhold. After fan outrage over the issue, McDuffie defended it thusly…

“Read the scene again and this time pay attention. The Surfer allowed the Panther to “restrain” him in the hope of finding out what the FF was up to. A panel later, the Surfer’s assistant blasts the Panther unconscious. The Surfer is irritated because he wanted the Panther to talk, which he thought he might do if the Panther believed he had the upper hand. Most of the people who bytch about this have only seen a scan of one page, or have poor reading comprehension skills.”

What issue is this from?

Worf effect - trope, look it up.


They always do this whenever they want to make a character look strong or bad ass, at the cost of the oppositions' strength. Keep in mind its the comics..power levels shifter harder than a DBZ episode.

Well, it's not unprecedented. Doctor Doom did steal Silver Surfer's powers back in the day.
