Su Ming watched the others fight.
After using Tenth Metal patches to block the "Mother's" Psionic Power, he felt that it was merely an ordinary opponent. He did not know which of the Three Mothers Superman had faced before, but dying to something like this was simply too humiliating.
Superman's resistance to Mind Magic and mind-control superpowers was extremely low. He was not afraid of magical energy blasts to the face; what he feared was someone tampering with his brain.
Metropolis once had a giant bee that had awakened intelligence and mind-control abilities. It was called Hive. Superman had been controlled just by smelling its honey, turned into its puppet by pheromones. If Harley and Poison Ivy had not happened to be vacationing in Metropolis and lent a hand, Superman might have been played to death long ago.
But was Hive really that powerful? Not at all. It was merely a minor nobody villain. Later, it provoked people in the business by kidnapping people everywhere to build its nest. Someone hired the old Deathstroke to deal with it. After making the proper preparations, that old man blew it apart with a single shotgun blast. That bounty had been easy money.
Martian Manhunter had also been controlled by Morgan le Fay's Mind Magic before. Did all these people with powers like Superman's have no resistance to mind control?
The key was that afterward, had they never considered fixing their weaknesses? A Mental Shield from Gotham's black market could solve the problem. It would cost less than a few thousand US Dollars to patch up their shortcomings, so why did they insist on waiting until they suffered again?
Falling into the same pit once was not enough; they had to keep falling into it. Unbelievable.
The battle now was basically target practice.
