He Was Too Terrifying

"Cut the Name, Not the Flesh!" He-El did not fight through bodily instinct. Through his observation of all things, the rules governing the composition of Reishi, and his own knowledge, he calculated everything within the Shikai Universe, then manifested Reishi into fully formed abilities. The danger he sensed was not the flesh-crawling warning of physical instinct, but an uncalculable unknown—something that caused the Shikai Universe to crash in the face of what it could not comprehend or calculate.
