: : Note that the Stygian Triplets take great pains to catch "John Doe Jersey" unawares. They hit him from behind and daze him before beating him. So God, in human form, doesn't have time to react. They then beat him to within an inch of his life, taking care not to kill him. It's kind of like those old stories about caging Death, he can't do anything until he escapes.
: I definately thought about him being stunned....but this is god we're talking about....after he's on the floor...he's scared as fuck...but he's aware of what's happening, he could have been gone after the first stick hit him. (If the whole blink method works)
I think we're talking about going into shock. Frequently when someone receives a serious enough injury their mind isn't able to process the world around them properly for a time. In this case, God's mind would be muddied by the human form He was in just long enough to be knocked completely unconscious... which shouldn't have taken too long.
