Design Notes: Amazo's a bear to fight, but the trick is that he doesn't have any mental or emotional defenses. I felt like the Team used "I'm threatening Ivo, so this attack is causing Mental Stress" attacks, and Stressed him out with the description of "Superboy takes advantage of the confusion to stick his fist inside Amazo's guts."

S01-E05 - Schooled

Analysis from a RPG Perspective: One thing that often happens in comics, but not so often in gaming, is that the heroes face opponents well out of their weight class. Spider-Man regularly goes through the cycle of "get whupped, figure out a weakness, whup the bad guy" when fighting foes. (And then there's the extreme examples of the Fantastic Four vs Galactus, where the heroes are so below the villain that the villain's minions are still much more powerful than the heroes.) Player characters, on the other hand, really don't like to lose. Plot/Hero/Drama points often take the sting off, especially if they're used so that a villain can escape (in this case, the MONQIs with Amazo's parts), but it still hurts.

And for the record, in the hypothetical fight between Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy and Amazo, the kids started inflicting Mental (or possibly Emotional) stress on Amazo by threatening Professor Ivo, and since Amazo has no defenses against that sort of thing, they easily stressed him out, with Superboy's player describing how it worked. "Amazo is so rattled by the threat to the doctor that I'm able to stick my hand through his intangible body and then he falls apart when he re-solidifies."
