We can't magnetize this dude or drain some kind of energy that isn't there. The only known weakness is from the Batman Brave & Bold cartoon where...~KL~

how can he explode if he doesn't have energy? that is very implausible and makes no sense. in order for him to blow himself up then he would need some form of energy

He's a comic book villain, it if it made sense we wouldn't be here.

And all of that relies upon willing suspension of disbelief. Besides, Shrapnel doesn't expend an energy that can be easily manipulated by folk like Patriot. He's living organic metal, and each one of his scales is a separate living entity that he controls consciously. The scales can be fired and recalled with something akin to a limited telekinesis. Or at least that's how I understand, I'm sure someone here can explain it better.

He doesn't blow up per se, he just expels his various pieces outwards. I don't see the problem with tiring him down to the point he can't call all of his pieces back...~KL~

i was just trying to find a way to use a not very violent means to detain him since our characters got a stern lecture the last time we used physical force against a villain.

No longer participating. Ask KL if you want to know why.

I wouldn't compare going overkill on a meta-human to disassembling a monster comprised of metal that could single-handedly destroy an entire city.

Trying to figure out how to respond with Orbit. I mean- tech vs. magic... the age old battle.
