Am I the only one who noticed that Superman, in "War World", Part II, was fighting Mongul and Dragga at the same time with great success? Despite all the criticisms about that episode, I'd say that makes Superman tough.

I'm a big defender of Justice League :D, but I'll concede that I wanted to see Superman hand Mongul's butt to him. But I understand why the writers wanted Draaga to get the final blows on Mongul; Draaga's the one Mongul's been torturing all these years by forcing him to fight. Poetic justice.

Besides, like other people have said, Superman showed us that, if he hadn't allowed Draaga to finish the fight with Mongul, he could have cleaned Mongul's clock. :D

As for Hawkgirl's mace -- well, I'm just going to assume that they had to turn on the cannon, then "turn up the heat", so to speak, before it really became a weapon of planetary destruction. It's like when you first turn on your oven; it has to heat up (or "power up", if you will :)), before you can use it at its full power.

Any thoughts? Superman could take a double team by two powerful fighters -- I'd say that makes him tough. :)

i might not have minded the Dragaa beating Mongul ending so much has Superman not uttered the great line "ALL DEALS ARE OFF-- YOURE MINE"

and proceed to stand around

But, if he hadn't said "All deals are off -- you're mine," then everyone on this Justice League Message Board would be saying that he's a wimp once again, and the fact that he didn't say that was "proof."

not so

had Dragaa jumped in and started whaling on Mongul before superman had a chance to say ANYTHING, we probably wouldnt have said quite so much about it

I have to admit that I was a little disappointed when Supes didn't lay into Mongul after saying that. I guess I was waiting the whole episode for a huge one-on-one battle between Superman and Mongul, kind of like a Legacy-Lite. Instead we get him standing around watching GL tell Draaga to keep his guard up on the left.

ugh, head over to the Warworld 2 talkback for the huge argument on the Draaga/Superman/Mongul ending scenario. I would post my view here, but I need the time to think of some way to respond to Maxie's last super-duper-post. :D
