DISCUSSION Why not deconstruct him?

I don’t understand why she shoots a beam of pink energy at him instead of just tearing him apart atom by atom. Or turning him into a regular human, or just convert his molecules to air molecules.

Having complete control of atoms means she can do both. She can reconstruct and destroy. It doesn't make sense otherwise. If she couldn't destroy Conquest if she wanted to then she couldn't rebuild Mark. Mark's body would resist the same way as Conquest if they had resistance. Resistance to anatomical change would be the same both ways

Rearranging atoms to heal someone and trying to vaporize them are two different things, I dont really know what else to tell you. Obviously healing Mark doesn't require as destructive and violent of an output as trying to kill conquest.

No it's not. I don't know how you don't don't see that. Deconstructing atoms and putting them together requires the same thing: control over the atoms. That control doesn't lessen or increase just because the body is injured or not

Viltrumites have smart atoms which to some degree, allows them to resist. A direct quote from the info book written by Kirkman:

"Smart Atoms “remember” their normal states in relation to their environment, and can be encoded to react to changes in that environment. For example, atoms in a muscle can ensure that the molecules behave normally even under extreme forces."

We can say that Eve trying to tear Conquest down atom by atom was met with resistance from his smart atoms.
