Bart:
When I read that (in the book), I immediately recalled an old (comic 
book) LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES story. There was a villain who had the 
capability of countering any super-power. So Ultra-Boy (who has many 
super-powers, but can only use one at a time) goes up to her, and, 
instead of using one of his super-powers on her, just punches her in the 
jaw, knocking her out.

That's pretty much what I envisioned. DD walking up to an overconfident 
Waldo, and punching him right in the jaw.
