Why would they need parachutes a...Wait, wait, wait. Why would they need parachutes after Geo-Force exposed them to his "null-gravity" power?<br /><br />As I understand it, Geo-Force can essentially increase/decrease the gravity of an object, but he cannot create true anti-gravity (acceleration away from the earth). For example, look no further than his own locomotion method: he flies by using null-gravity on himself (making him weightless) then propelling himself with force blasts (like Jerry O'Connell in MY SECRET IDENTITY).<br /><br />If he has used his null-gravity effect on his opponents, he isn't making them fly up in the air so much as he is making them hover about where they were standing. Once he removes his null-gravity, they'll fall: about 3 feet. Parachutes won't do anything to help that.<br /><br />And presuming that he has made them weightless and then shot them with a force blast to make them fly up in the air, why would he bother to do that? Just last issue, his force blasts were powerful enough to destroy metal. Why not just shoot the thugs with your force blasts, Mr. Needlessly Complicated?<br /><br />Heck, Geo-Force could have used his gravity manipulating power to make them incredibly "heavy," conceivably snapping their own femurs where they stood, but he doesn't have to make them float first if he's going to bring them down to earth.<br /><br />Geo-Force: not understanding how his own powers work since 1983.<br /><br />(For the record, I've always liked Geo-Force. Tough love, man. Tough love.)Wriphehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601501793018325712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-56280990138308061992013-07-30T18:27:48.467-03:002013-07-30T18:27:48.467-03:00Just wait til you see how this horror ends.Just wait til you see how this horror ends.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-4233322586023984112013-07-30T16:49:57.639-03:002013-07-30T16:49:57.639-03:00Strike the word 'Other': Batman isn't ...Strike the word 'Other': Batman isn't an Outsider any more than Tom Petty was a Heartbreaker or Huey Lewis was a New.
