| Topic | Super strength and firing laser beams are such boring powers |
| PK_Spam 10/06/17 7:59:30 AM #1: | So why do comic book writers keep making characters like these? You know who has a genuinely interesting power set? Gambit. But I never see him around nearly as much as he deserves. I mean... he can make things explode because of kinetic energy. He can see the future sometimes, sorta. He can charm people. He can make things into poison. On the surface, his power set is everything wrong and nonsensical about comic books. But it... works? Like, I'm willing to believe that he can suddenly see the future after going blind because I already like him a ton and will believe anything they throw at me outside of bullshit like "can win almost every fight because *stupid power*" I dunno, I always get really upset when I see that the extent of a person's powers in comic book media are limited to lame stuff like "Can hit really hard and take a beating without dying." Maybe it's because I'm writing my own superhero parody. I'd hate to see the media oversaturated with milquetoast shows about people with superpowers before I can get my thing on the air. --- ...
