bear on : Marvel ’s guardian Know They ’re More Hardcore Than the retaliator
As the Defenders clamber to discover a mode to turn back Omnimax , Taaia , one of Taa ’s “ Scienceers . ” After a quick stopover at Taaia ’s “ Science Fortress ” the squad returns to press Omnimax . The team debates strategy and how they can defeat Omnimax ; Taaia produces a regular hexahedron — similar machine she calls the “ Mother Cube , ” charged with the emotions of everyone on the satellite . Taaia ’s plan is to blast Omnimax with it , forcing him to finger empathy and remorse for what he has done . Taaia ’s strategy works , with a trivial cost increase fromDoctor Strange ’s magic .
The Mother Cube , which Taaia also calls an “ Empathy Box ” bears more than a solid resemblance to the Mother Boxes of DC ’s Fourth World . Yet these Mother Cubes seem to have abilities rove beyond the Mother Boxes ; the Boxes , while capable of wonderous effort , have never shown the power to do produce emotions and empathy in a person the way the Mother Cube does . Despite the differing approaching , both the Mother Box and Mother Cube are not merely weapons , to be used to destruct . Instead , they help their user outthink their resister , instead of resorting to force ; the Mother Cube produces empathy in Omnimax , rather than but drink down him . DC ’s Mother Boxeslikewise do not pour down or put down either .
TheMother Boxesare some of the most powerful tools in the DC Universe , and nowDoctor Strangehas improve on it with Marvel’sown rendering , call the Mother Cubes .
