Had Combustion Man been alive...

[bongalak]

...during the Sozin's Comet, he would have been unstoppable. He was already able to blow stuff up to smithereens (with his mind, no less). And with comet power behind him he would have been literally unstoppable. It's a good thing that the creators decided to kill him off before the comet arrived, otherwise there may not have been a happy ending to this series.

Just a thought that occurred to me, feel free to agree/disagree.

Hm, interesting.

I wanted Zuko to tell us his real name, but I guess the Gaang wasn't interested at that moment. Darn.

[MasterEcabob]

Ha, I can just imagine an Ozai sized death ray explosion coming from CM's tiny head.

And, even if he did get hit by a stray boulder or boomerang, so what? I mean, just get near a group of enemies and you've got a nuclear explosion class kamikaze right there . . .

Haha man, it would be awesome if he was in the finale, I'd be awesome if OWL or Sukoph Crew took him on. I'll definitely think it would be a real epic battle if there was battle between him and the Sukoph Crew that first takes place on all of the airships, then maybe near the ground so toph can use a bit of earthbending, it'll be interesting because the Sukph Crew will have to use their brain and wits over Combustion's man power and muscle.

I can just see it now, Combustion man explode along with an airship, then the scene change to show debris sinking into the ocean and we see his metal claw.

If Combustion Man had been alive during the comet.....I honestly think that would make for a really great fight, like storyteller was saying!

I really would have loved to see a showdown, of Sokka, Suki and Toph V Combustion Man! Seeing how everyone had their big main person to fight, (Aang had Ozai, and Katara and Zuko had Azula)

Man.....that would have been an epic fight indeed!

Personally, I think that if he was alive during the comet, it wouldn't be a fight. His explosions were large enough to start with.

He was a tough guy that kind of disappeared rather quickly. 8-/ I don't really know what could have happened at the comet, but I don't know if anyone was really interested. He had the potential to be pretty threatening too. Too bad.

[Alleluia]

I think the comet would have had one of two outcomes. Combustion Man would have ended up ruling the world. Or he would have ended up blowing himself to smithereens the second he tried to fire his brain beam b/c the comet would have boosted his power beyond his control. The first is unacceptable and the second would have been really funny/sad.

[Avatar Aang]

CM would of ruled and owned at Sozin's Comet. Using his small bobble head, lol, to blow stuff to absolutely nothing is weird-pwnage. He would of kicked Equus asinus, literaly, unless someone would use their boomerang -Sokka- to hit that head of CM's..

[asian malaysian]

Maybe Zuko would have revealed that his real name was "Sparky-Sparky Boom Man". Its more descriptive of what he does than "Combustion Man". Still, it might as well have been "Zhao". Like him, the man had no restraint and Zuko would have found a way to take him out even if he had been around to see the arrival of Sozin's Comet.

Darn, someone already got this

Anyway, I agree with this. Combustion Man's ability have been shown to be mentally-induced, and he seems to charge it up before each shot. Had his abilities been augmented by Sozni's comet, I forsee that his ability to contain the sheer explosive force would have been beyond his control. If this is the case, there are two likely outcomes:

1( Combustion Man blows himself up because the Explosive energy sucked up would bee too much for his condensed shots to handle.

2) The sheer mental strain would have induced too much stress for his mind to handle.

He could certainly overcome this; as I mentioned earlier, he has to charge up his shots in order to fire them out. I believe the reason is because he needs time to handle the pressure of a giant beam of compressed energy to most likely relieve the strain on his mind and channel his attacks better.

The problem is, there would be no difference, because he would have to relieve the stress from all that extra power he got through Sozin's comet, and make sure to release it on small increments so he won't overload himself. So his charge time will be longer.

The kingdoms would be screwed if Combustion Man was alive. Can you imagine the amount of explosive energy he could've exerted if the comet arrived. All I can imagine if Combustion Man was alive is Sokka saying, "Yeah...Umm...We are so screwed..."

[Fire Nation Goddess]

I agree that most likely everyone would have been screwed if Combustion Man were around (assuming he didn't blow himself up, as others had suggested). However, I would still LOVE to see that fight go down. The explosions alone would make it worth looking at. XD
