Who is your favorite fictional hero or superhero and how would they fare against the gom jabbar?
I’m a big fan of the Norse Gods, and most of them would not do well. They’re always getting tricked and poisoned and so on. But they keep trying anyway, even though they know they’re doomed, and that’s why I love 'em.
@Nemo I could see Thor losing a hand and then chopping off the bene gesserits head with the ax held in his other hand.
The gom jabbar was held to Paul’s neck, though, and I imagine the same would be true for Thor.
You were thinking of the pain box, perhaps. The pain box is the test, the gom jabbar is the concentrated poison weapon that enforced participation in the test.
