Do you think the Guardians Of The Globe could have won if Red Rush had stuck to just bailing the others out of death and hadn't attacked himself, or do you think everyone was doomed no matter what? They did put up a great fight even after he was removed, so I think it's plausible they could have. DISCUSSION

By that time she could expose him, and how can he stalk her when she can just phase and go anywhere in the world probably underground

If it is a resource drain I don’t think any sane person will be trying to phase through the planet or floor when they run the risk of getting rendered vulnerable while passing through something and getting stuck or worse

Also you cannot just phase through a planet you’d end up permanently stuck at the core with no way out since the force of gravity would only get stronger the closer you get to it

Actually, gravity at the center of the earth is zero. The strongest point is halfway from the surface to the core, after that it starts getting weaker and becomes zero at the center, because you are being pulled with the same strength in all directions, so it cancels out

ETA: Wikipedia has a cool graph showing the value of gravity at different depths, it only gets around 20% higher at maxpoint
