Dwayne Johnson could punch a hole through my face if he wound up even moderately. Yet, if I had Dwayne Johnson’s muscles and also the ability to karate chop at presumably supersonic speeds, I’d be fairly confident of my ability to de-limb him.

I’m actually reading the comics this very moment for the first time, and it actually does give an explanation, if anybody cares to factcheck me given I don’t know what comes after this but in compendium 2 chapter 66, >! Nolan explains to Allen that he “wrote it all down so I wouldn’t have to remember it all.”!< Btw this comic is fucking nuts and I love it.
