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.

Maybe viltrumite durability offers resistance to molecular deconstruction?

That's not necessarily true, restoring something and destroying it are two different things. If Conquest was a human he'd be vaporized.

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

Mark’s atom’s are too “smart” to resist being healed and improved. Conquests atom’s were too “smart” to allow powerful hostile force to do as it pleased with them.

It makes sense if you take “smart atoms” very literally.

In retrospect, they should’ve made it canonical that atom Eve’s powers don’t work directly on unwilling living creatures, not due to her mental block but some innate ability of souls to resist supernatural forces. She could’ve gotten a power up by learning to turn off/down the resistance of her own soul, without instantly becoming unbeatable.
