>itt: powers that everyone forgets characters haveVenom can turn invisible, that's actually a base symbiote ability.
>>145515078super-man's super vision
>>145515237Superman's entire powerset used to be that he was just flat out better at anything a base human could do
>>145515078As somebody who also fell into this trap: invisibility is a pretty pointless power from a storytelling perspective when a character has other offensively minded powers they can use. You have to intentionally write the character into situations where they have to use it, and when you don't it becomes a plot hole. "Why didn't they just use their invisibility?" they'll say. And you won't be able to just reply, "Because I literally forgot they had it."
>>145515078Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………. I can’t think of anything
>>145515302ayyyy>>145515296For Venom it works because he's a stalker, he invades your life and follows you around all the time. You're never safe from him, he could appear from anywhere and attack you. He knows where you live. You're never safe from him. Part of the threat of him is the paranoia. He can be literally anyone with his shapeshifting and even if nobody is there he could STILL be there! The issue is eventually people preferred Venom as a physical threat only rather than a psychological/personal one as well.
>>145515267Also wait, they added an extra zero! Is Krypton retarded or does their math function differently from Earth math?
Didn't Gambit have a charm ability? Like a minor hypnosis?
>>145515521>gambit is a low level telepathWhat is the X-Men's fetish with fucking telepaths and mindfuckery!
She-Hulk could shoot Gamma energy waves a couple years ago.
>>145515599>energy based attackIsnt gamma rays like the most dangerous shit in the universe and can straight up create gamma mutants? That be like spewing the ooze or mutagen at people in Manhattan.
Silk has a photographic memory.
>>145515639she also has a pheromonal thirst for dick but that's kinda swept under the rug too
>>145515625Yeah... I don't Aaron put much thought into this. I know in the 2003 movie you need nanobots for the gamma to work or you just pop like a balloon from the rads.
>>145515267my ass that jar has 32k beans
>>145515677Okay so according to the wiki its a genetic thing, you just get cancer/rays if you don't have the gamma gene that turns you into a gamma mutant if youre exposed to gamma rays. That's dumb but fair enough.
Wonder Woman can talk to animals.
>>145515725Okay but that's kinda cute and fairy tale princessy.
>>145515651Everything about Silk has been swept under the rug except for base spider powers.
>>145515480He did say he was using super-mathematics. Maybe that's what makes it super.
Conner Kent has psychic, telekinetic and matter manipulation abilities that border on reality warping.
>>145515751YET ANOTHER SPIDER CHARACTER IN 616, ITS SO AWESOME POSSUM TO HAVE MORE FUCKING SPIDERS! I swear to God, it feels like Spider-Man might as well be a flavor of ice cream now with how many different types there are of him lmao.
>>145515761Shit, imagine all the gun collectors with eccentric millionaires and movie stars suddenly having all their antique pieces go poof. I'd fucking die lmao.
>>145515296>>145515369An easy fix for that is simply "the symbiote has to actively focus to fully cloak itself", which would be a reason to limit it to just when he's being stealthy and still force him to drop it to fight
>>145515267>>145515480imagine how many angry letters from nerds this got back in the day
>>145515078didn't Angelo used this ability? invisibility + symbiote not triggering spider-sense seems pretty busted to me
She-Hulk's exponential strength was an asspull and a half.
>>145515267There's no way 32000 beans of that size can fit in a jar that big.
>>145515599Is that Thor turned into a Brood?
>>145516313Looks like it.
>>145516253does hulk strength work like a multiplier for base strength like the super saiyan form?
>>145516325It can, But most writers make it a mental thing not a flat stat you can put points into.
>>145516225Venom was pretty busted back in the day, that was his point. Peter always had to find a way to outsmart him or lure him into a trap.Then in the 00s writers hated him, gave the symbiote to Gargan who they also hate, and made the ultimate jobber who gets beat up by literally anyone cause comic writers are manbabies.
>>145515078People also seems to forget that the shapeshifting abilities of the symbiotes are quite impressive in general. To this day, I'm pretty sure the 90's cartoon is the only adaptation where a symbiote turns into any type of clothing aside from a Spider-man suit.
The 2000 Spider-Man game abused Venom's cloaking power. It had a cool sound effect too.
>>145516212
>>145515078I only knew that from the 2000 video game
>>145515651I don't suppose you have a few examples?
>>145515480>>145516212I really hope someone got fired for that blunder
>>145515296Sounds like li'l bitch writing to me. If you can't write your way around a time-traveling invisible long-lost evil twin with fire powers that has frequent premonitions then you're no writer.
>>145515719>that's dumbIt's a comic, at least they foreshadowed this long ago with Brian Banner's insane ramblings about Bruce being a genetic freak at birth.
>>145516381>Peter Aerosmith.jpgthe change in music at that point was a nice touch
>>145517297It's more>proving Brian Banner right when he was an insane degenerate>a gamma gene for powers being very close to the X Gene which also gives you super powers and makes you a mutantLike, idk you should do more to distinguish gamma mutants from X Men>>145516916
>>145516916
>>145516916Dan Slott just casually wrote his fetish into Silk
>>145517620>>145517631Slott writes women like he's trying to get revenge for all his failed conquests.
>>145517620The xmen should not be a part of the same universe.
>>145517634Dan just proves you don't need talent or taste to make it in comics.
>>145517646The fact any other type of mutants have to be called mutates in Marvel is annoying. Like no they're mutants. Just not X-Gene Mutants.>>145517641>>145517657Like if you want the pheromone thing outside of a fetish context, why? Peter Parker is a red blooded male. He will try to fuck anyone remotely attractive when he's not actively in a relationship. Dude has an high body count so it isn't like he would be unwilling for casual sex in an uncommitted relationship to the point even even notes note "Yeah dude is a bit of a man slut". Like it comes across more fetishistic lol because Dan wanted to have Peter bang a hot Asian woman with Spider-Powers but writes Peter like a school boy.
>>145517760Like Peter isn't usually ashamed of being horny so why would he start now lol? >>145517760*even others note
>>145517760All I know this makes Dan a hypocrite because he threw a shitfit over Starfox's powers & said he was a walking roofie.
>>145517760>the fact any other type of mutants have to be called mutates in Marvel is annoyingThis is because people didn't separate the xmen world from the greater marvel universe in their minds. Whenever they crossover you should treat it like a company thing, not a brand thing. You should be thinking about cosmic marvel before you think about the fucking xmen of all things.
>>145517789BUT HE ISNT A SMOKING HOT ASIAN SPIDER-WOMAN IN A CUTE DRESSt. Dan Slott>>145517799God, I hate how one really bad metaphor not only has to strangle the X-Men but also huge swathes of Marvel any time the X-Men show up and then the entire universe revolves around the X-Gene and if you are a racist or aren't.
>>145515296I remember when Miles Morales was first invented and he had spider powers but ALSO could turn invisible and i thought that was retarded. Like why?
>>145515737Feels more…mythological at best what with the nature of them.>>145516381I like it, though could we put it down it should at least be specifically darker color and not bright? Just figured it would be like that what with Venom>>145517297>>145517620Just make it 50/50, no genes, you either die or get mutated
>>145517992It's all so tiresome. >>145518319Let it be what it's supposed to fucking be. Not everything has to bend around a series that was never intended to be connected to the rest of the world to begin with.
>>145516381There was that Gwenpool comic where she had a symbiote that not only turned into all sorts of clothes for her but also supplied her with amazing perfume.
>>145515719Wish they stuck around longer.
>>145515078Last time I remember seeing this was that PS1 Spider-Man game.
>>145515761Does Conner still have tactile telekinesis? That used to be a huge part of him.
>>145518175Isn't that a good power to evade cameras in modern era?
Good old Ahura, Black Bolt's son. Had a lot of shit but the hits are>Immune to Black Bolt's voice>telepathy and TelekinesisAnd pic related where it mentions that he was growing at an accelerated rate. This was the reason he was older than Luna despite being born after her. All this without even touching Terrigen.
>>145517634Wouldn't that web by sticking heavily to her crotch?
>>145518936You wouldn't see a priest do something like this in modern comics
>>145519302Like irl spiders they can choose to make the webs sticky or not. In this it's just a tight body covering.>>145519334>"STOP" cried the Archdeacon!Love a good man of God type character
>>145515078Captain Boomerang has the Boomerforce
>>145516212I was curious about the feedback they got and went to look it up.
>>145515267>>145519515Could the jar hold 3,200 beans?
>>145519414A normal human could do this, it's the flashs speed that's enabling him to do so
>>145515702>>145516284>>145519750>implying Superman is wrong about anything, ever
>>145516368I love that story.
>>145516368You know what pisses me off?It's such an easy slamdunk of a villain.Scorpion is the original Spider-Man's evil mirror match villain. You mix him up with another, more popular mirror match to make him cooler, stronger and more dangerous and you make Scorpion a relevant threat again.But writers' dumb spite gets in the way and we have what we have. Everything about Gargan Venom except the design pisses me off.
Black Bolt being able to turn matter into Anti-matter and having electromagnetic powers as well.
>>145520180Read Marvel Knights because it's one one of a few Gargan stories where he's intimidating
>>145520420Yeah, no. It's the exact same old jobber Scorpion in a new coat of paint.>gets Venom suit>gets completely trashed in a span of a couple of pages with Peter even remarking how much of a loser he isMillar started this "Venom Gargan is a joke" bullshit. Everybody else just picked it up and made it worse.His one saving grace in that story was not being Angelo Fortunato.
>>145515719Who's the hot bitch in the middle?
Medusa controlling her hair after it has been severed
>>145515267So lex was right.
>>145515761>>145518879His ttk is playing a huge part of the current stuff.
Dunno how unknown this is but Ant-Man can't control just ants but he can actually control every type of insect and even insect-like beings like The Brood and other types of extraterrestrial bugs.
>>145519771Flash's bullshit leak unto others?
>>145519414>where from Down Under did he come from?Did the writer think "down under" was just something Australians said, like how thr Smurfs talk?
>>145520511You seem really negative. I actually really liked Gargan in that. He was great! Peter calls him a loser, but he>learned Spided-Man's secret identity >threatened him and his family in public>reveals the super villain conspiracy>essentially is the main enforcer to Norman's final boss of the storyYou'd probably like him in Thunderbolts then, Sinister Spider-Man or Beyond! which all lean more on his Monstrous side.
>>145522101doesn't it just mean hell? like "where the hell did he come from?"
>>14551507890s venom was the peak.
>>145515719So gamma mutates are the next step in human evolution
>>145515787Imagine being a civilian in Marvel. There is some freaky guy appearing for years, then some weird girl that might be related appears, then you have a seemingly different spider-woman in black appear on some government taskforce full of muties while a black Spider-Man appears in New York and seems to turn into a giant monster calling themselves Venom, and then you have another Spider-Man wearing a hoodie, and a little girl that seems to be a Spider person as well, and then some other guy in red and black who might be the same as the hoodie from earlier, and then there is a whole army of them.
>>145523420They should throw Spider Sakura on the great lakes avengers as a foreign exchange student shit would be funny.
>>145515078
>>145518175Venom can do it because it can shape and color shift. Miles can do it because he's a shit character and giving shit characters lots of powers is an attempt to make them cool.
>>145520095This was the first comic I ever bought. I had no idea who Venom was but knew that story kicked ass
>>145516381That's why I couldn't understand why Peter kept it in a trunk in the Spider-Man 3 movie
I remember venom could change to look like other people
>>145524405That movie was a mess.
>>145515599>She-Hulk could shoot Gamma energy waves a couple years ago.pretty sure that's just because she was overloaded on gamma+celestial god juice>>145515719>Okay so according to the wiki its a genetic thing, you just get cancer/rays if you don't have the gamma gene that turns you into a gamma mutant if youre exposed to gamma rays. That's dumb but fair enough.ofc we've never seen anyone experience anything other than get powers from gamma but a story where the lone survivor of some incident with gamma radiation with like dozens of deaths gets powers, some degree of gamma derived mental illness, and has to deal with survivors' guilt could be interesting>>145523321>So gamma mutates are the next step in human evolutionthe earth x stuff seems to have leaked in to mainline 616 marvel so basically all superpowers come from ancient alien, celestial, magical, etc meddling with early humanity except for gamma powers which recent stories seem to agree on coming from the multiversal god/satan creator somehow
>living avatar of anti-life equation>basically dc universe antichrist>this is never mentioned again
>>145515078>>145523989Yeah I didn't even know Venom actually had a stealth power until I saw these Toy Biz stuff.
>>145523989clear plastics my beloved.
Superman used to shoot out smaller superman with the same exact powers as him. Theoretically, the little supermen could create even smaller supermen until infinity
>>145527189Also superman used to make his foes gay
>>145525601new gods stuff is rarely taken into account for anythingorion is supposed to be the one prophetized to defeat darkseid but he always jobs and darkseid loses to superman most of the time
>>145527205>vintage clickbait
>>145523989>comes with 2 poison headcrabs
>>145515267He could shoot rainbows and tiny clones of himself.
>>145515078I remember this in the 2000 Spider Man game
>>145515267He didn't include the weight of the jar, fucking retard
>>145515078Hot Claws
>>145524040How many is he up to now? I know he has the base Spider Set, Venom Blast, Invisibility, and I saw he got a sword he can make out of his venom blast, and now he's a vampire. Did I miss any? Can he fly now? Get the super soldier serum? Also secretly a mutant like Ms. Marvel?
>>145529146No, he can only ride air currents my ballooning.
>>145515267Superchad is simply better than all of us
>>145515725Damn Linda Carter was hot as fuck as wonder woman
>>145528982>allowing two pounds for the jar
>>145515737The real Wonder Woman, meaning the Perez version, was given different powers and abilities from the essence of the Olympians she was made of. One of Artemis' gifts was "unity with beasts", which allowed her to communicate with animals, but it wasn't just speaking, it was more of a tele-empathic type of connection, plus, aside from communication, animals were inclined to naturally like her. And as long as we're talking forgotten powers, from Hestia, Wonder Woman was supposed to be fully immune to heat/fire. She was also supposed to be connected to the concept of truth, the same ways Gods are tied to particular concepts, and in that way she was either resistant or immune to anything that would warp her perception of truth, such as mind-control, illusions, and so on. Those more exotic abilities are forgotten 95% of the time though, in lieu of flight+punch-hard.
>>145529146He has a super saiyan upgrade
>>145527205I guess he tried using it on Harley one time and that's why Poison Ivy's always munching her cotton candy colored carpets
>>145527240>new gods stuff is rarely taken into account for anythingyeah, dc is dedicated to endless big 3 slop with racial and lgbbq pandering attached and will never do anything cool, fun, or important with any of their other stuff any time soon>orion is supposed to be the one prophetized to defeat darkseid but he always jobs and darkseid loses to superman most of the timeyeah, dc kind of suffers the opposite problem marvel has with "cosmic level" stuff where with marvel you have this almost totally segregated cast or uber powered characters almost exclusively doing stuff in space with advanced aliens, gods, etc but then with dc you get shit like batman spearheading fighting darkseid and then joker or whoever else being asspulled in to somehow also being a villain on that level. i think the stuff with orion's true parentage, darkseid actually is his father, has been addressed but scott somehow not actually being highfather's son was teased multiple times over the years and then nothing was ever done with it.

Didn't Black Bolt have gravity & reality warping powers?
>>145523989Bless Toy Biz and their weird as fuck toys. To this day, i will never understand why Doppelganger came with a piranha plant.
>>145531536>reality warping powersno just matter and energy manipulation.>gravityHis flight is from making anti-gravitons.
>>145521591Hardly any follows the current stuff They should have made him literally Mewtwo in YJ and had him reconstructing matter and ripping apart enemies with his mind. Instead they made him get groomed by a Z-lister and job to street level opponents.
Does Pineapple Thing count?
>>145532705Is it something that he could do on command?
>>145534746No, It was a mutation.
>>145534757Well it was a clone of him, he basically had a lot more pow thanks to the pineapple/duardian like spikes on him
