    In the real world, a colonel would not engage on one side of a military battle without permission. Not even, or maybe even especially, if they had a personal grudge against one side.

    But this is cool and I look forward to the epic throwdown between Max and Darude. And he is attacking civilians (and everyone else in the area).

    Panel 2, it looks like Tom is wielding a ginormous glaive against some guys with assault rifles. I wonder how vulnerable Tom is to bullets? What if they are silver bullets?

    Its not entirely unreasonable for Max to assume that Darude is here specifically with the intention of attacking her, in which case absent explicit orders to disengage I'm pretty sure she has the authority to decide to defend herself.

    And frankly, even if he isnt there for her, he's being so indiscriminate she can probably still claim she was simply engaged by an unknown hostile and was defending herself. Its not like she can politely identify herself as American and ask him to please not hit her team with the giant sandstorm of death while the leave the country.

    Lets be honest here, she is a super hero. Her rank doesn't mean the same things that it might in a more traditional command structure, and going out to personally punch someone who has been presented as her actual factual Nemesis when he shows up with an army to attack the building she is in would likely qualify as self defense, but the more specific concern would be Archons rules of engagement. We never got the details for that kind of thing outside of explicitly stating they are outside the scope of Posse Comitatus, and they are meant to be a domestic facing law enforcement org so they might not have clear rules for what to do here. Clearly Max's orders on the ground to not engage outside of specific conditions would override all that anyways, but she herself would have the latitude to ignore her mission own specific orders so long as she stayed on the correct end of the law and Archons general rules.

    With a super close enough to Maxima's level to have survived her doing her best to kill him that explosion was hardly a attack anyway.

    I'm betting that much like Dabbler when he fought her to a standstill it was more about cheating the fight then being able to actually match her. Ten imaginary internet dollars he is just sitting under the sand somewhere relatively safe while his doom death sand storm tries to wear her down.

    Or he is basically Crocodile from One Piece and so long as his entire sand infused body isnt obliterated, he can recover from just about anything she does. I do wonder if this might also fall under old orders as well. As was said, this is someone she has fought to the presumed death before, and here he is again. Were her orders to engage this particular target ever revoked? But yeah, this is one of those things thats probably a violation of the rules in a variety of ways. As was said, they are generally speaking, an internal super police force. LAPD should not be arresting people in mozambique. Yes, even if they did spot some criminals doing criminal things. By all rights, the entire arcswat crew should have bubbled up and left. This is just a whole pile of diplomatic incidents and laws broken.

    While yeah. LAPD does not have any authorithy outside of USA.
    But one could assume this would fall somewhat in beneath general rules of self defence.
    Especially when they are in the path of the attack.

    Well. And of course it also helps its likely easier to arrest Superman than to arrest Max.

    Yea I hadn't even considering the "I am the sand now" method of tanking Max's blasts. Also the LAPD comparison is off, they are a military branch not just police officers. That comes with a set of specific international laws and rules that govern them that wouldn't apply to the LAPD.

    The key issue with Archon's involvement depends on the nature of the conflict. Specifically, if this is actually an attempt by some sovereign state to attack Galytn or whether it's just a bunch of militaristic opportunists employed via plausible deniable means. In the former case this is a war between two sovereign nations and Archon's intervention on behalf of one side (as opposed to simply secure US assets and escape the combat zone) represents an extremely clear act of war. In the latter case, this is just terrorism, and Archon is simply rendering aid to the local government to suppress terrorists, which can be easily excused given some legal massaging - specifically, Maxima would need to get retroactive approval from Deus and that General she reports to for this action, but if she actually manages to capture/kill Darude, that's almost certainly forthcoming.

    Well they have clearly failed to identify themselves or declare war?
    So a decent argument can be made for "looked like terrorists, were attacking civilians"

    And Max already did get Deus implicit approval with the gas mask he lend her.

    The self defense thing is a bit wonky, because, at least in the states, there is a wide variety of what constitutes self defense. For example, the duty to retreat. In some states you cant use self defense as a claim in court if you had the opportunity to get out of there and didnt take it. And considering the fact that both max and sydney are capable of evacuating at several times the speed of sound, including carrying the rest of their team.... It would probably hold up in this scenario overall, unless there was some sort of vindictive prosecution going on, but still. Upon further research, only 15 states have a duty to retreat law, the rest have variations of castle doctrine or stand your ground meaning no you dont have to run away, you can defend yourself without being cornered first. So yeah, probably be ok overall with self defense, thought more states had duty to retreat than that making it more of a coin toss on a federal level.

    And Dragon, yes they are also military, but they are a primarily internal military/police group. Hence ARCSWAT instead of ARCARINES, or ARCFORCE, or ARCMY. But then, its left kinda up in the air the specific limits and rules they abide by, probably intentionally just for scenarios like this so we cant go "Hey! According to comic 675, they legally cant do blah blah blah, so why are they here?!" Technically supers arent supposed to be deployed in other nations, but thats primarily talking about invasions, probably not defending an area as a visiting super if it should be attacked while you are there.

    Overall I get the feeling that even if technically max is in the wrong here and they should have bugged out, nothing bad will happen because deus is probably happy max is doing this and will be lodging a formal thanks, and the american government doesnt want to poke their most powerful reliable super for fighting one of her biggest threats when given the chance.

    Pretty much my thoughts on this. If the country, on which terrain it is all happening, welcomes help instead of huffing over meddling in internal affairs, necessary paperwork and legal way will be taken care of even if some of it would have to be done retroactively.

    Is it even technically so? is also the argument to be made that Max's crew were spread to far out to be evacuated in time.
    Of course in the end it hardly matters. Since the relevant parts are Deus's laws.

    Whats perhaps more interesting is the comming fight?
    Look like it will be a slapfight? Neither side can really touch the other right now.

    Id imagine thats going to change soonish, after all, there is a reason she remembers this guy, and somehow I doubt it was because she wasted 8 hours dogfighting with him only to get nowhere. It IS possible this is a stamina fight where the first person to get tired loses. Like, it takes energy to blast, and energy to reform. Whose move is more efficient? As a random point, it occurs to me that maxima might be vulnerable to a deus double cross right now. Unlike most of the other gear he and his company provide to archon, this one hasnt been examined before use. I could see a sleep gas pellet get released inside her mask at a bad moment dropping her like a stone. Im not saying he WILL do that, just pointing out the window of opportunity is there. And with the confusion of a sentient sandstorm and enemy merc attack going on, it would be childs play to make her vanish.

    Deus does have an unhealthy fascination with bedding Max, so he might try something like that; but she's an extremely difficult person to keep as a prisoner, and an even more difficult person to coerce into sex. I'm guessing that he's not going to try it. I think we're going to see Halo save Max somehow, either by use of Halo powers, or by use of trope knowledge.

    I wasnt thinking about sex. I was just thinking that if he had any nefarious schemes in mind that required maxima removed from the board for a time, that this would be a great opportunity, and is totally something he would be able to arrange. Either directly as in "Yo Darude, got a job for you" Or indirectly as in, "Lets see, I made the announcement on x date, which means archon will send a representative, and its about 99.53% certain maxima will be a part of it.

    I don't think the laws are the problem there more the headlines and international relations.

    "Is Africa's newest dictator allied with the USA? Or an direct agent?

    A counter strike against Deus expansion was just foiled by a team of Americas strongest supers. Deus, an US citizen, has taken over an kingdom and is now expanding it via military force. The USA has been denying any connection, but these newest development leads to questions whether he is truly an independent despot or the US government is engaging in colonialism by proxy."

    Or something like that.

    This is a question of international law, which has very different standards for "self defense", this is also why them being a military branch is important even if they are technically meant to be aimed inward as an organization.

    A part of me wonders if he is like concretia and his spirit can inhabit sand, or if he is like crocodile and just IS sand as well as able to manipulate it. There are so many interesting potential outcomes of turning sand to mud depending on how his powers work. It could expose the real him if he cant inhabit mud for example, leaving him open to attack. Or, if he is a logia style of power, turning his entire form to mud could literally trap him in place, unable to move or escape or do anything till he dries out. If he can manipulate sand from a distance, then soaking him would be a temp fix, as he brings in fresh sand to basically dry out the soaked area.

    Mud is really not sand, it's not wet sand either. There are beaches near here that are sand on a slope for about a couple of hundred yards at the top, then mud for miles, Mud is sticky horrible stuff, with a much finer grain size than sand, and you wouldn't mistake the two.

    This is likely what should be the actually biggest isue with Max engaging Daruda now.

    To be technical that just gets you wet sand. Mud is made of earth and water.
    And im also not certain a tanker truck would be anything but a drop in the ocean when it comes to a sandstorm of this size.

    It think the best you can hope for is to gradually remove sand from the storm, a few hundred pounds at a time.

    Yeah and in turn, its quite possible he can just pick up fresh sand. Its desert all over the place.
    I guess in the end we dont know enough about his powers.

    It's actually savannah.

    Galytn's capital is supposed to be in the southernmost portion of Malawi. Darude and co. arrive by coming over the Matundwe Range to the west, and in the shot in #1053 where Darude is initially shown, there's an appropriate amount of green vegetation in the foreground. Admittedly, the area where this fight is taking place appears to be quite open, probably because it's either been cleared for industrial development or Supers target practice, but the nearest actual desert is the Kalahari, hundreds of miles to the west.

    There might be some sand down by the river, but I think this part of Africa is more likely to feature grassy prairie. It's Kansas, not the Sahara.

    Of course, Darude may be able to use any loose particles. Dirt, pollen, shredded bits of pitiful mortals, all grist for his mill.

    He could also be like Garra from naruto and be able to grind down stone to make more sand wherever he goes. Being in a desert just saves him a little setup time. He could fight you on the rocky mountains and be at full saharah sandstorm levels of material in a few minutes.

    Relevant point. We just dont actually know enough about him.
