No, I wasn't bragging. I was saying that your plan didn't hold any creedance in the situation, and that it wouldn't work. If you were to allow it, either of us could outpace your character and steal away the trigger without setting it off, because of their great speed. That's one option. Another is that they could cause the vest to fail and short circuit. Yet another is that Superboy could tear it off, whip around and embrace it and surpress the explosion.

From the moment that I started role playing in this, I tried to get everyone to back me and go. But no one was cooperating and this may be the price. But there are still ways out of it if everyone is willing to explore them. Coupled with the fact that Thunder and Superboy would be unexpected, gives us the advantage of surprise and allows these to be possible.
