Murphy

(1/10) > >>

guinnesshero:
Am I the only one that thinks Murphy is way over powered for a run on the mill human? No one out fights Murphy not even super naturals. No one out shoots Murphy. Heck in the last book she basically get torn apart and crippled has multiple surgeries, is in casts for months. She cuts hers casts off and after a hot bath is getting the better of a Valkyrie. Heck Harry is a wizard and after being messed up that bad had to take on the mantle of the winter knight to fix it all Murphy needs is a hot bath.

Griffyn612:
Bump because somehow I missed this one.

Conspiracy Theorist:
A hot bath administered by Harry. He just kept quiet and let Murphy think it was magic. It’s Dumbo’s magic feather.

The_Sibelis:
It's not a matter of being overpowered, it's a matter of attitude... And that thing with the Valkyrie was probably easy to do, because she was being underestimated. That gives you a natural edge you wouldn't have otherwise.

Well, it's not like she actually won a fight vs. a Valkyrie. In one case she acted really fast when Freydis just wasn't expecting her to be a threat, and impressed Freydis; there was no actual fight. In the other she pulled the pins on grenades and Freydis jumped away to escape.

She didn't actually go full on martial arts against Freydis in either case.

She's lost strength and flexibility from her injuries, but her tactical thinking is as good as ever. And her reaction time still seems super good.

Harry had a broken back, spinal cord damage. I don't think Murphy had nerve damage.

And, more importantly, Murphy isn't back to normal capability now, months after SG. In Changes Harry had to act that day. And normal Harry might not have been enough to win anyway.
