The Spectre (Corrigan) vs Mad Jim Jaspers

[Pendaran]

Jaspers needing to be in an actual reality in order to use his powers is just that. The Fury being there with him doesn't make the two of them not be standing in a zone of nonexistance. It's neither CIS nor PIS. His powers need for him to be in reality, as it were. If he's not in reality, no powers.

[Eternal Torment]

It is, at worst, CIS, not PIS.

Jaspers was never on record manipulating through nonexistance or even experiencing (or whatever you could call it) it before.

Besides, the Fury could stall him when Jaspers was manipulating his own body but battling a sculptor in the middle of "endless clay" sounds foolish.

Still think the weakness stands.

Well, alright. Seems weird, but I guess that's how they work.

[Pendaran]

Essentially, JJ's powers are best viewed as inefficient. He manipulates reality to fuck with people in reality, if you follow.

Ah. Of course, he's incredibly damned strong when he's in his element.

I didn't read the series where he returned, but I heard there was something about the Fury possessing him or something like that.

Question - Would that weakness of Jaspers count as "standard knowledge", considering most of US didn't know about it? I doubt it.

In which case Spectre is far more likely to throw out a more standard (well, standard for Spectre) attack and get beat down hard for his troubles. I don't think Spectre usually works on multiversal scales like Jaspers, does he?

I'd be interested to hear how a location in which two distinct objects exist could in any meaningful way qualify as "not reality"...

I've watched conversations between you and Fuffer unfold. Trust me - it can qualify.

Take it up with comic book metaphysics.

Most of the people who know about Jaspers know the conditions of how he went out, this otherwise begins to get into "if the character is obscure enough, they are immune to the common knowledge stipulation" which is not what was meant with it when coined.

OK. Furry muff.

In that case, Spectre's doing just as you described.

[Froggy]

this goes in spectre's favor

and jasper's return

or well the appearance of new jasper's had powered down fury's

though i liked xenogenesis

Can Spectre destroy enough of a reality in one instant to deprive MJJ of stuff to work with? I mean, Fury didn't bring him to a "fairly big empty part of this dimension", he brought him to a whole new dimension that was totally empty.

[Pendaran]

I would say so, sure. Jimmy's reality to work with, as it were, is constrained to the field they're fighting on. Corrigan should be capable of ending reality within that scale.

[big_adventure]

Nothing I'll fight for or against, let's just harden the details for NEXT time something like this comes up - I guess it comes down to assuming that either Khazan is a fairly limited pocket dimension susceptible to getting wiped OR that the Khazan "reality" ends at the arena border (Spectre stomp), or that it's on a planet in a big huge ginormous universe leaving MJJ plenty to manipulate and being too big for Spectre to insta-erase (Jaspers with the takedown).

[Farealmer]

or that it's on a planet in a big huge ginormous universe leaving MJJ plenty to manipulate and being too big for Spectre to insta-erase (Jaspers with the takedown).

I get why it's a fair consideration. But i find it a bit unfair to assume that fighters can pull stuff from the arena universe. Though there may be a precendence for it. It just seems...i don't know?
