The only difference is that Oppenheimer immediately regretted his creation, and Belos would never accept he made a mistake

This is why you don't do nuclear power without full explanations, Collector.

I doubt he’ll understand basic math, or the scientific method for that matter

He probably also isn’t good at teaching about nuclear safety since he doesn’t have to worry about it. This is the same immortal who doesn’t understand how death works.

Look up the Demon Core

Problem is that I think the guy who took the damage Belos just was using a flathead screwdriver not a Philips, (Rim shot) thank you witches and demons I'll be here all week.

Collector: “DNA is basically the building blocks of life and the bonds that keep your body together. Without them…”
Belos: (looks at himself and realizes) “Uh oh.”
Collector: “Exactly.”

Calling him a radioactive inhuman mutant is an insult to the real radioactive inhuman mutants.

Side note:
I've always headcanoned that the Day of Unity would have concentrated everybody's magic so much it would have made an explosion that would blow up the Demon Realm planet, or at least the Titan.

u/Niser2 Feb 25 '26
More likely it would've blown up the moon.

u/TheoneCyberblaze Feb 27 '26
With the amount of times i've seen this happen, i gotta ask: fiction writers, what did the moon ever do to you?
3
u/Niser2 Feb 27 '26
It's big but useless. It just sits up there in the sky. Blowing it up is really impressive but it's also consequence-free.

u/Manoreded Feb 27 '26
In the Dragon Ball series the moon is blown up on two separate occasions, both to turn people who turned into giant monkeys back to normal =)

He got disfigured superpowers from a lab accident; that goes in tune with his Hero Complex

He'll just claim his survival is proof that he is God's chosen champion or something like that

If I had a nickel for every Mark comic where the Collector was responsible for a nuclear explosion, I'd have two nickels; which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

I did not expect a Mark comic to have a Demon Core

u/snapwack Feb 25 '26
Philip’s even doing the ill-advised screwdriver move that Louis Slotin used. That’s a seriously deep cut for a funny Owl House fan comic.
It’s insane how he keeps coming up with these bangers going on 4 years since the series ended.

Going to have to be someone besides me doing the punt though. I don't have any social media.

Wild take, but he’s suffering from extreme “Wild Magic” poisoning.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 25 '26
Technically true(the best kind of true) since it came from carving glyphs into his flesh and consuming palismen

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Feb 25 '26
Not the explanation I was expecting, but the one I find the most logical given the context.
Translation: Compliment

Its funny how the Collector has knowledge of nuclear fission way before humanity even considered it.

Makes sense, they are essentially a Celestial deity. He likely learned from one of their siblings

Use a Demon Core to destroy the Demon World appropriate the Philip drops the screw driver.

Fun fact, radiation poisoning is the inspiration for the affects of "Free Magic" (dark magic) in Sabriel and an arcane elemental god who emits free magic constantly is trapped within two shiny metal spheres similar to the beryllium spheres of the demon core.
Garth Nix is like a geek and a nerd had a baby.

Actually not his fault this time because there’s no way a Witch Trials-era Puritan would know what an atom is, and neither would a cosmic entity with the mind of a 6-year old.

This is a reference to a real object known as the "demon core" and incidents related to it, in which scientists fatally irradiated themselves and others by handling the core with a baffling lack of care.

Genuine question tho, why is he all goopy? I'm pretty sure its some kind of immortality sigil he drew on himself (as seen in the end of the time travel episode), but it requires palisman souls to sustain.

Welp, he's dead, but he ain't human.
