Well now we know what it takes to get her to curse.

I find myself wondering about something in Hardcase’s Power’s and Trivia card — If he thinks he’s going to be shot with a .22 rifle and gets shot with an anti-materiel rifle instead, does the bullet bounce off or does he only resist the first 250 joules out of the 18,000 joules he has coming?
Or put another way, if he’s braced against being punched by a normal adult and gets walloped by Paragon instead, does he go flying with possibly broken bones?

It’s as you described. He can only take what he’s ready for. His “baseline” is above normal, and applies even in his sleep, but if you over power him unexpectedly, he’d be down and out.
In the Hardcase comic Night once hit him with a sonic device that invokes confusion, and it made him vulnerable to Night’s punches. Hardcase’s brother David (who has the same powers) was surprised by Zeus and zapped unconscious with lightning in just the way you described.

So if you suspected you were going to be facing Hardcase, you could disguise your gear as less effective versions, and effectively blindside him with attacks he actually did see coming — for him, ignorance of what any given weapon is capable of might actually be bliss under those circumstances.
