Do you like such characters Yea Forums?
A hero is never able to fully utilize their power because its too destructive and hard to control
>Oh woe is me, I'm just too darn strong and awesome!
Honestly, yes. I think it can be pretty cool when done right.
>those times when the hero cuts loose and all the villains realize they fucked up
Spidey does this best. It makes me feel like he's just playing around with his rogues half the time because his power way above street level.
It works so great because Peter's core concept is actually fits pretty nicely to villain or even a horror monster.
I got the perfect page to illustrate that.
Which comic is this?
prob last hunt
I like the reverse of this.
>Character has normal to useless powers but he/she knows out to maximize it in any ways possible.
Origin of the Species. An arc in ASM just before Big Time.
Currently it would be Thor and Odin given how much Aaron attempts to nerf them with his bs.
Skitter from Worm
>muh power is muh curse
love this shit
bump
To be fair, having uncontrollable punch vision is a pretty big problem when you don’t need it.
Yes. I especially like powers with a curse to them, a clear downside of some kind, like Cyclops' eyes or Thing... Thing or Yea Forums favorite Orca.
I don't like Orca. I am not a furry
I mean, it makes sense that a hero might not be using their full ability because it would destroy that which they protect.
>Worm
Fuck right off.
Nah..OP mean people like Cyclops or Storm, who if they cut loose can fuck shut up big time. Cyclops could level half of MY if he didn't give a shit. Pete not so much.
Look more to manga for that.
Muties are a shit on the rest of the setting just by existing, forcing their whiny WORLD THAT HATES AND FEARS US nonsense into everyone elses plotlines and fucking them up nonsensically.
I mean spidey COULD, it would just take him a while.
You might be underestimating Pete a little.
Outside of a group of Avengers or some really heavy hitters going for him, he's pretty much unstoppable if he snaps hard
No
And many meet the requirements that OP asked about. Iceman, Magento, Scarlet Witch, Tempest could fuck up the planet.
Pete will never be a S-tier threat.
Mutant power creep is the worst even when compared to most superheroes where its already endemic.
Over time almost every Mutant is revealed to be OMG OMEGA CLASS and could destroy the world just by taking a shit.
The only ones you don't have to worry about that being revealed about is the likes of Beak and the other non-handsome loser freaks.
Kill yourself.
Don't start bringing your anime classification into this. Its already autistic enough when people are talking power level bullshit.
What you say is true, but don't hate the player, hate the game.
Touched a nerve?
Peter took a full punch to the face from Colossus who was the avatar of Cyttorak AND wielding a piece of the Phoenix Force, and right after the punch he was still smart enough to talk some shit and trick Colossus to fight someone else. Peter's fucking unstoppable when his proportional strength power actually comes into action.
>Spidey does this best
No, he does it worst. Well more than half of the spider's rogues beat the shit out of him even going full blast. Pretending that he's holding back when guys like Electro and Scorpion put him on death's door regularly is fucking stupid. Sure he holds back against shit heads like Hammerhead, Tombstone, and Kingpin but he and his rogues are street level only because they don't want more than that.
Yeah but isn't the very very best so why does ot matter?
It depends, but yes, mostly.
Some jojo characters have that
Jojo is poorly written crap, Araki admits he's constantly writing by the seat of his pants and needs to use bullshit asspulls to counter the bullshit he's written without thinking previously.
OP here. Spidey is great but i meant something more like this
>Spidey does this best.
Spidey would do this the best, if any of his writers actually took care and did anything with it.
Instead it shows up every 200 comics where he stomps anybody who doesn't have severe plot armor.
I seriously don't think i have seen it being used properly on Spiderman outside of Secret Wars, where he got one chapter to beat somebody who was far stronger than him(but not more agile).
Sure, it occasionally show up that they referance that his stickiness isn't stickiness, or his spider sense. But generally he just jobs completely.
Thats not even "Muh power, muh curse" thats "Too weak to actually use Superpowers".
Complete control of insects is never, and has never been, and never will be, useless. Even if it was, she does shit with them that's impossible for irl bugs.
I got you user
Fucking kill yourself.
>Have a busted ass power
>Exercise the slightest imagination in using it
>"Isn't my writer so clever?"
Realizing you can order a bunch of insects to smother a person to death isn't clever. It means you can rub two brain cells together.
It depends. The more humble the character is and the harder they tank and sandbag the more satisfying it is to see them cut loose and flex.
It's more satisfying to see someone like Superman kick ass because Superman constantly worries himself ragged. When he finally gets his shit together and the John Williams score strikes up its magical.
When you're a kid you feel bad because Thing is made of rocks. When you're an adult you feel bad because Thing can't get his rocks off.
The only woman into the poor guy is blind. What woman would want to fuck someone whose dick is a rock?
I'm sure there's plenty of freak mutated women who are down to fuck on the internet of the Marvel-verse.
His dick is basically just knobbled for their superhuman pleasure.
Please give me a source on that image.
>Ben can score
>It's just with the woman whose face looks like a facehugger from Aliens
Jesus Christ the poor man.
Not all mutated women are ugly, look at She-Hulk.
Her vagina could take his rock dick without harm.
Literally the Justice League issue out now.
Would she though? I mean I can see it. She fucked Man-Wolf so her standards are low to nonexistent.
Thank you very much.
>The only woman into the poor guy is blind.
I never understood that, since blind people rely more on touch than sight, which would just make touching a rock even fucking weirder.
Its just hack writers, trotting out the whole "Blind person only sees your inner beauty, not scared off right away at seeing your monstrous appearance" cliche
Spiderwank is only marginally less annoying than Batwank
Spidey's got the proportional strength power and he's fucking jacked these days. That gives him leeway to be strong as fuck. Batman being a regular human and benching a truck because he knows kung fu is just retarded.
Alicia has an always will be a saint. Touched the heart of Thing, Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, she's a saint.
Sounds more like a mary sue.
Colossus is a solid steel weight lifter that does combat training. It doesn't matter how much he lifts, getting punched by regular Colossus should cave his fucking face in.
I for one am thankful that its not overused.
bump
Yes.
>that one issue where the scarab is suggesting weapons with "theological implications" to take on the fucking Spectre.
is he still dead?
During the Superior run, SpOck punches a villain so hard that he rips his jaw off, leading him to realize that Spidey always has to hold back his power or he could kill someone on accident.
Did I miss something? When did people hate Worm?
It's an overhyped webnovel about on the same level as RWBY that its spacebattle fandom constantly tries to shill.
>When
Since forever. Do you not go to Yea Forums a lot?
Censored swearing in comics looks so dumb.
Since people got tired of you fanboys spamming it on every board way back, also it not being great in the first place.
>Jealous
Of what?
Bump
not even just mutant women. there's so many fetishes out there, talking rock men must be somebody's.
What about Midas? You can turn things you touch into gold, but it's not awesome when you can't touch anyone or eat because of it.
wait, he can't eat or drink?
so he would die from that shit before being sad.
what about breathing?
does the AIR in his LUNGS turn to gold???
Would you read a comic or watch a carton about a character that was a rich and popular "hottest girl" character on the surface, but actually had uncontrollable godly fire powers that they try to hide, and their backstory involves burning their home city to ashes and moving away and starting a new life as previously described rich and popular girl? And the destruction of that old home city happened because her daddy told her "no" instead of "yes", just once?
Who the heck is this?
Angry Spidey is the best!
Powers have no bearing on whether I like a character. Unless you're talking about a videogame.
yes, especially if the powers manifest as a cloying alternate conciousness inside her head, giving possibilities and threats on things to do when our heroine is feeling agitated. Like
>SCENE: Intro Chemistry, two weeks after the Midterm.
Professor: All your grades are up on the class website. The average was a 60, so the curve was heavy. Let me know if you have any questions. Until then, have a nice weekend.
>HEROINE logs into class website, sees her grade.
Heroine (mumbling under her breath): A 20?!?
Other personality: You're angry. Let me tell you something. Dust is dust. This grade is meaningless. Look at you, a Goddess of Flame. The world will not remember this grade, as it will become ash. The world will not remember any of this people, who are already ash in your mind. Why deny your will? It is the right of Kings and Gods to decide who lives and who dies, after all. Why deny the reality of things?
Heroine: I'll...I'll just study harder.
Other Personality: They'll burn eventually, you know. They'll burn, and you're gonna love it.
That's.... BRILLIANT! I haven't thought of that!
The average was a 60 and she got a 20? Is she retarded?
Boku no Hero Academia touches on this.
Ochako's power seems sort of lame and underpowered. But then a villain uses it and kills like 20 people in a flash. Showing you that yeah, it's easier to use powers to fuck shit up than to be a hero.
As the guy he was responding to, and thus the actual creator of the character, I usually envision her as the type of character who'd be at the top of her class and good at everything, because she's a very passionate and competitive hot-headed person with a massive ego and she wants to be the best at everything, and refuses to let any obstacle stand in her way, but that very personality makes her flames even harder to control.
So she wouldn't get a 60. She'd probably get a 220 out of 100, despite that being utterly impossible.
Magma. She's pretty hot.
Maybe?
But I guess the creator dude does have a point here. It is far more interesting when someone who is by all means a talented, contributing member of society later destroys the whole thing, rather than her just being an idiot or something.
Gives it more kick. Generally, a human killing another human is far more interesting/has far more moving parts and variables than an animal killing a person because of that basic species attachment/connection/involvement.
>It's Firestarter but she's a shitty yandere waifu
You should kill yourselves
Well no shit. Superpowers aren't POWERFUL unless they can hut people.
yandere in what way?
is having anger issues that one struggles to control "yandere"?
Yes.
>Firestarter
Never heard of it, and the character is not intended to be a yandere. She's just passionate, hotheaded, and has a massive ego. Meaning she's the type to post a thousand selfies on Instagram, try to win gold trophies in a bunch of ridiculous competitions just to prove she's the best at it all, and be worshipped by her peers as the hottest girl in the universe.
The only problem is she's the hottest girl in the universe in a very literal manner, and her fire powers are linked to that passionate, hot-headed temper, and she fears losing control of her powers and burning the whole world to ashes. So she does everything she can to hide her powers, and tries to continue living the life of a rich and popular girl.
Meant to quote instead of Sorry
>Hero is strong enough to blow up the planet if he/she isn't careful
>Fights someone who is around the same strength, who doesn't give a shit about holding back
>The latter character doesn't just blow up the planet as a consequence of fighting full strength.
One thing that really annoyed me about that new Dragon Ball movie.
Its funny now that their married because they're always asked "when you gonna have kids?" every issue.
Wtf is her power? Why in the shit wouldn't you mention it?
Depends Is it "I CAN'T CONTROL IT!" mind fuckery where they go into a blood lust or there power being so destructive they can't go all out in certain areas for fear of collateral damage. I kind of like the second option especially if its innocent.
I like the idea of a young geomancer telling an adult they can feel the moon sometimes and just letting that adult freak out inside due to the implication while also trying to keep a straight face in front of the mutant/magic kid.
