ITT:
/co/ characters that if they didn't job would be legitimately scary/powerful and an explanation if needed
I'll start:
Spot
>could totally just carry a knife instead of punching people and stab them from a million angles
>could just shut portals around people's limbs to severe them
>drop them from serious heights to kill them
>go full portal and build up serious momentum to the point where when you finally close a portal they go splat against the ground.
Spider-Man himself could probably be one of the greatest assassins in the world if he wanted to be. And probably a Doom-lite Supervillain.
>>82748945
you reckon he's smart enough/could get the resources to be doom lite?
Livewire
>>82748981
What about Livewire, you over baked potato skin?
>>82748981
I've seen her around /co/ and she's obviously from some bruce timm cartoon (probs batman extended animated series)
What are her powers exactly/how would she be a legit threat?
Spider-Man's got plenty of villains like that, like Schizoid Man and that pyrokinetic guy.
>>82748963
I mean, I don't see him becoming the ruler of a sovereign nation, but a Peter Parker/Spider-Man without scruples would probably have plenty of ways to raise funds, and the intellect to put them to good use.
>>82748859
I really believe villains shouldn't count as "jobbers", they're villains in a fictional setting, they're going to lose eventually.
>>82749053
I guess if spOck can create a bunch of helper drones and shit peter could do the same. I mean if you look at his current run he seems to be plenty capable of running a company and making bux.
>tfw evil spiderman creates his own spiderslayers to wreck everyone else.
>>82749019
>>82749012
She is living energy . Her powers are Electricity and magnetism .
ANYONE with superhuman attributes would be legitimately scary / powerful if they didn't job as required when dealing with 'human with training' characters
here's a dude that can lift a truck over their head. i don't care how good you are at kung-fu or boxing. your punches aren't going to do anything against a physique that can do that
>>82749092
whilst I agree, I'm referring to villains whose losses are fascicle, especially given the potential or advancedness of their powers
>>82749163
I'm sorry to inform you that being strong doesn't mean you can take a punch. Body builder or not, if someone swings a 20 kilo barbel at you and it connects, it'll fuck you up fiercely.
If you had the martial prowess to block it yourself, possibly, but even so super strength \=\ super durability.
>intelligent
>unhinged and sociopathic
>superhumanly strong, fast and durable
>has healing factor and his goblin armor is bulletproof, so he'd be hard to kill unless you have some big guns
>enough gadgets to rival Batman
He's hard to take seriously because he always loses and was a bitch in Dark Reign, but the idea that he could exist in a world where he's the only one with superpowers is terrifying. He's pretty much a slasher movie villain.
>>82749283
>he's pretty much a slasher movie villain
fuck, that is actually so on point dude.
I don't think he was a total bitch in dark reign, I mean he DID take over SHIELD and fight asgard which is pretty impressive in itself.
I don't think it's really osborne's powers that make him scary, it's his fucking psychotic mentality combined with a pretty formidable set of smarts/resources.
>can see the weakness in everything
He kicked his way out of the after life
>>82748859
What's the origin/etymology of "job"? I get what it means, but I don't get why.
He can manipulate people's emotions, blind them, induce nausea and exhaustion, rendered himself invisible, heat things up like a microwave, has made things explode, used his beams like a laser, and more. He could do all kinds of terrifying shit.
>>82748945
Huh, that's interesting, but I was thinking, his skillset and powers are more fit to restraining opponents, rather than straight up hurting or killing them. How would you modify that to make hima a more offense-heavy character?
Besides guns, I mean.
>>82749545
It's a wrestling term I believe.
>>82749283
>>intelligent
>>unhinged and sociopathic
Wicked sense of humor included?
>>82749012
>controls and is comprised of electricity, the lifeblood of modern civilization
Damn I have no clue what could be so dangerous about her.
>>82749623
Oh yeah, and of course I should have mentioned the solid light constructs he can ride on. It'd be interesting if he could use them as hard light objects too.
>>82749448
Couldn't you just kill him with radiation or anything from range. He can only see the flaws assuming he doesn't have freaky inhuman eyes despite not being exposed to the mists.
I would love to see someone do that.
>>82748981
>>82749140
>>82749715
Apocalypse should be able to live up to his name, even without celestial tech. The ability to alter your own molecular structure should give you immunity to everything and to the extent of his own knowledge, every power. He should be Thanos tier.
>>82749243
if you have super strength but not super-durability, you'd just tear yourself apart trying to use your muscles
>>82749545
Pro Wrestling term for a wrestler losing (ie 'doing the job')
>>82749545
Jobbing comes from wrestling. You jobbed when you lost a match, specifically in a way to make the winner look good. People use it negatively (and obvious jobbing can be hard to watch) but jobbing was an important part of the business; it was considered a big deal to have the knack for making another wrestler look awesome.
>>82749448
>>82749633
He's used weaponized webbing before. Incendiary, acidic, even sonic. Plus he's really fucking strong. He pulls his punches 90% of the time to avoid fucking people up or just outright killing them.
>>82749774
>not posting the edit
fuck you
>>82749545
Wrestling term. I might be wrong but if I remember right it's just kind of short for "doing your job" which is to go out there and make another wrestler look good by getting wailed on
>>82749774
INSULATION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. PART OF HER FACE IS EXPOSED. FUCK.
>>82749633
idk man, when he went up against kraven's family he fucked them up pretty good, tore off one chick's face.
He also told kingpin in civil war he'd shoot web down his throat, into his lungs and then it would expand and he's die horribly.
And in spiderverse where there is assassin spidey who uses guns.
It's only really his web that is for restraint (and I'm sure he could just make some kind of razor/poison web), otherwise he has precognitive senses, super strength, wall climbing ability, super intel and is stealthy AF.
He'd be a damn good assassin I reckon.
>>82749774
Please don't post dumb pages.
>>82749817
Man that's fair, Karnak can see the weak point, but he has to use skill to hit it.
>>82749855
this
>>82749855
from what i've seen he has tons of skill, just lacks the speed to act upon it. even though if he sees the flaw in everything wouldn't he predict the knee to the face?
>>82749670
Maybe.
>>82749243
we're not talking about 'normal' weights here, but thousands of pounds
normal bones and tissue isn't going to allow you to support that amount of weight
if your super strength is physical you have to also be super though
durability aside, that relatively minor inhuman strength is also going to allow you to literally tear a basic human apart
strength is fucking scary. period. and writers often overlook it. if you don't think it is look at the damage a chimpanzee (high human tier) or gorilla (human +) can deliver
>>82749843
Shit he'd probably be a better Batman than Bruce.
>>82749947
Jesus Christ that fucking art.
>>82749939
Can he see the flaw in his own plans?
Anyway what I mean is Karnak IS super skilled, but so is T'Challa who pointed out that fighting him is more than seeing where he's breakable.
Its okay for him to lose a fight once in a while, and the most logical way is "a cheap shot that takes him out before he can break something important on you."
Did Waid's run on Daredevil not already prove that Spot could be terrifying? Disconnecting peoples' heads from their bodies and selling their bodies into slavery while keeping their still living heads locked in a closet was so fucked up. Imagine being completely aware that your body is being used to toil a field or being used by some asshole in his sex harem and being able to feel everything, but never have any hope of escape because you're just a fucking head in a cupboard surrounded by other heads. I know people give Waid's run a lot of crap for being relatively light-hearted, but that arc was so god damn disturbing.
>>82748945
Anyone happen to have the page where Spidey is stalking Chameleon in a dark house?
>>82749947
>you sick clown!
Ha.
>>82750001
There were a LOT of fucked up scenarios in Waid's Daredevil, it just rained less and Matt was in a manic mood most of the run.
>>82749835
But her feet are also insulated so she isn't grounded. Therefore she's immune to electric attacks.
>>82749817
>brags about being able to see weak points
>just the fucking joints and groin are highlighted
Wow I never would have thought to go for those unless I had some kind of weak point detection power.
>>82748859
Composite Superman should be THE scariest villain.
He's the Legion of Superheroes, in one body, and evil.
Three Giant Intangible Telepathic Supergenius Evil Supermans able to shrink to subatomic size, change matter from one element to another at will, control electricity and magnetism, no limits shapeshifting.
>>82749817
>Can cut a bullet in half
>Can't even touch BP
>Can't dodge a knee
Bullshit.
>>82750001
Well technically that wasn't Spot, that was Coyote.
Spot turning into a fucking Many-Angled One was pretty freaky.
>>82750043
she's not going to die but she can't stand there and take a lightning bolt like its a fucking pokemon game, her hair and skin would burn.
>>82748945
Oh yeah the man is built for assaniation
>>82749982
That's true, I mean you see a lot of professional fighters just win based on the fact they are fucking huge and can take a ton of punishment (brock lesnar).
And so long as the other person isn't a disproportionately better fighter, all someone with super strength has got to do is grab a hold or bear hug them and crush/tear the shit apart.
>>82749985
>Batman
>Superpowers
????
>>82750052
Oh, and shit. Gravity Control too, from Light Lass/Star Boy.
And Precognition from Dream Girl.
And Illusions, from Jeckie.
Basically, he's the most powerful thing you can get below Reality Warper.
>>82748859
I know they aren't villains, but weren't Jubilee and Blink both supposed to have the potential to be ultra-mega-super badasses due to the way their powers worked?
>>82750001
I did not even know this existed, whilst it's kind of silly that they would still be alive, that's super fucked up senpai.
>>82750043
Do people seriously not realize lightning is superheated? A constant stream like that would melt her clothes and skin.
>>82750045
kek, my sentiments exactly, it's like figuring out headshots do more damage in video games.
![latest[2].png](https://i.imgur.com/5i6pu4R.png "latest[2].png")
The fact that he's a fucking retard with the most retarded designs possible really makes you forget that he's a superhuman cyborg with a completely concealable arsenal.
In any other reality this guy would be a huge threat
>>82750129
Technically they're still connected to their bodies. In fact, their bodies are being used for slave labour.
>>82749817
But anon the subject of this is IF they stopped jobbing. Naturally for Karnak to fit this criteria he would need to be a jobber to begin with.
>>82748945
There's a what-if comic where he becomes an assassin.
Also, he's pretty scary the couple of times he gets super pissed off.
>>82750123
yeah I think I recall something about jubilee having crazy potential to blow shit up or absorb energy or some shit.
>>82750154
That's that boss from Punisher arcade game, right?
>>82750010
>>82750174
how are they still connected to their bodies? I don't understand how that makes sense.
They can't see where they are going so can't do work etc, if you close that hole between the head and body surely it severs/decapitates them?
>>82750196
>>82749741
It is not just things he can see he can the flaws in thing anything be it an object, sound, or concept.
His biggest weakness is that he can't always capitalize on the weakness. In War of kings he saw that the kree barrier was weak to teleportation of a certain frequency, even if he knew that he wouldn't have been able to do anything about it with no teleporter.
>>82750154
the cybernetic enhanced are kind of dime a dozen in marvel though
make you wonder why there are u.s. soldiers there still with basic plastic/rubber tier prosthetic limbs
>>82750154
That's horrifying. Who is that character?
>>82750234
The collars they're wearing keep the portals open.
>>82750196
I got a little REE at the recent habit of treating Diablo like a street villain instead of a dude who gives the whole Fantastic Four trouble.
The rest is great though.
>>82750234
The hole isn't closed. If you look close you'll see that they're wearing these collars around their necks, they keep the portal separating their heads from their bodies open.
I'm not entirely sure how they manage make their bodies do any work though.
>>82749518
Purple girl
>>82750241
What is this from, a What If?
>>82750196
can you please provide context as to why spidey lost the plot?
Like I gathered something about a kid/baby dying but more context would be appreciated please.
>>82750196
>>82750241
Thanks anon. It's always a treat to watch Spider-Man stop giving a fuck.
>>82750184
>Also, he's pretty scary the couple of times he gets super pissed off.
https://youtu.be/TWRjsqoSWTI
>>82750052
Composite Superman has the abilities of Matter-Eating Lad?
>>82750071
>has straight up dodged lasers
>canon better reaction speed than peak humans like cap who have gotten to BP
>Gets dodged and one shotted
Sasuga Hudlin BP
>>82750304
>Discovers she has powers by asking Northstar to make out with her because he's dreamy
Like father, like daughter.
>>82750310
The Gauntlet.
I actually have some of these, they were fucking awesome.
>>82750105
Well if you wanted to be generous you could say Batman has super intelligence. Let's face it, no normal human could have the level of cognitive reasoning that he shows.
>>82750378
god why does the inhuman royal family defense squad always show up en mass whenever anyone of them takes a fucking punch.
T'challa got lucky, it happens.
>>82750355
The Rhino encounter with the black suit Spider-Man was genuinely scary for a kid cartoon
>"That's funny. I give up too. I give up being friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" as he about to crush defeated Rhino's (who's terrified and begging for mercy) skull with a metal door
>>82750408
Anon I think you are overreacting, it is literally just me and the guy I replied to. Besides I was commenting Hudling's BP more than defending Karnak.
>>82750304
Man, that last Alpha Flight was full of dumb ideas, like having her go full evil.
>>82750195
Maybe?
>>82750691
Checked, same guy.
Btw, are Frank and Fury on friendly terms or it's just game being game?
>>82749817
Yeah, but lets be fair, at some point, Black Panther has kicked EVERYONES ass.
>>82750741
they move in different circles mostly
other than that Furry doesn't have a problem with that Frank does
so, beyond general tracking, he doesn't spend resources on stopping him or helping the law do so
>>82750753
wtf did I just read. Who the fuck wrote that shit?
Not having SS just vaporise BP is a fucking travesty.
>>82750741
That rocket is kind of too phallic.
Or maybe Freud is laughing at me from beyond the grave right now.
>>82750803
SS isn't the type of guy to vaporize anyone that easily. But this was a miscommunication, he was supposed to stop fighting, not be in an arm lock altogether.
>>82750803
McDuffie. A page later or so it was revealed that BP was bullshitting about being able to rip Surfer's arm off. Everybody forgets that because why ruin perfectly good butthurt.
>>82748981
A Superman villain isn't really a good choice for this game.
I mean, it's a SUPERMAN villain.
>>82750001
That whole Coyote arc was pure fetish fuel for some folks on /d
I loved Waid's whole run though. I kept hoping for Mysterio to be behind the whole thing with the boxing gloves and Milla and all the disappearing acts
>>82750186
Jubilee was said to have the potential to detonate matter at a subatomic level and create near-nuclear explosions. So she could literally blow fireworks inside of your eardrums and split your skull.
>>82750994
Now all she can do is suck me dry.
>>82750271
It's a mutant named Random. I think he can create weapons from his arms. I used to own the action figure
>>82749116
Superior was a pretty entertaining showcase for what PP could do if not for his Uncle Ben complex.
Too Soon.
>>82749116
but wasn't spocks thing machines more than peters?
>>82750741
They're on pretty good terms in the MAX universe, not sure about the main Marvel universe though.
Theoretically, Puppet Master is fear of losing control over your body incarnate. Even more so than Purple Man.
Imagine losing control of your body and committing suicide even without knowing why your body is doing that. All because you're a test subject for his clay puppets.
>>82751077
>entertaining
There was nothing entertaining about that shitshow.
>>82749774
That is the worst fucking shit. I don't know why people think there needs to be a joke every comic and I really don't get why they think they shouldn't be funny.
>>82748859
Been saying this for years about Spot.
The guy can wipe out a city in seconds, just make portals in the middle of the buildings, have the building come out sideways in another portal next to another building. Do this over and over, keep opening up portals and sending the debris crashing around. He could level any city on earth in a matter of seconds.
>>82750247
Like going into a Rock-type Gym Leader fight in Pokemon with no water fighting or grass types.
>>82749283
>He's pretty much a slasher movie villain.
No thats my boy Carnage.
>>82751105
yeah, octavius has always been a better roboticist, but peter is no slouch either and while they might differ or be inferior to ock's, chances are they'd still be pretty effective.
>>82751228
shit, I didn't even think about it like that. He would actually be a serious fucking threat. In theory he could totally just BFR cunts into the sun if he felt like it (depending how far his power extends)
>whooped Thor's ass
>now exist only to take a beating
Imagine a bunch of assholes who can beat up an actual god running around. They may not be monstrous like Carnage or Purple Man (fuck you Paul Jenkins, Fallen Sun will never be canon in my eyes. Never), but I wouldn't want to get in their way.
>>82749140
wait was she supposed to be a call back to Blue Superman days?
>>82750279
>Diablo
Speaking of, he doesn't get enough love.
Alchemy is a powerful weapon in fiction and it feels like no one ever utilizes him to his full potential.
>>82751871
Hey, didn't they off-panel kill Bulldozer, replace him with his tween daughter, then ressurect him without explaination?
You're right. These guys just don't get any respect.
>>82750856
>BP was bullshitting about being able to rip Surfer's arm off
No he wasn't.
>>82752218
I think Anon mistyped. What actually happened was that the Surfer was basically letting Panther do what he wanted in the hopes that Panther would explain what he's up to. Sort of like how you get a villain to spill his plan when he thinks he's winning.
Surfer said that in literally the next page.
>>82748859
>>go full portal and build up serious momentum to the point where when you finally close a portal they go splat against the ground.
Spot could let a bus fall through two portals until it reaches terminal velocity and then hurl it out of another portal at someone
He can, if I remember right, change his portals area, so he should be able to cover himself entirely in dark spots
Still, I wonder how his portals' edges interact with shit.
If he tried to go full Destructo Disc on a lamppost, would it be split or would the portal bend around the lamp
>>82753275
Come to think of it, how does terminal velocity work in an area with no air resistance?
If he set up two portals just outside of the atmosphere, how much more speed could he get?
I'd imagine there's a limit as the Earth isn't a black hole
>>82750072
What, when?
>>82751067
Bushwacker, actually.
>>82751107
>not sure about the main Marvel universe though.
They don't particularly care for each other.
>>82749739
Man, can you even imagine Rainbow Raider as a one man Lantern army? Being able to tap into every single color of the emotional spectrum and he can make the entire DC Universe his bitch.
>>82753337
Quick googling tells me that terminal velocity w/o air resistance is equal to escape velocity
On earth, that's 40,270 km/h
Google also tells me that a school bus weighs ~22-26000 lbs
So... It would hit hard
>>82751176
There should be a joke in every comic. Comics should be full of jokes. It's time to let go of this 'muh serious artform' charade, anon. You guys and gamers, I swear...
>>82753066
But why I'm pretty sure on the long ass list of things power cosmic can can do reading minds is one of them. Also the next page he more concerned that they guy was trying to kill bp and ben than concerned that he would miss some info.
>>82750753
>Black Panther has kicked EVERYONES ass
Geez, is BP the Marvel Batman or something?
It almost seems like no amount of preptime would stop a BP/Bats stalemate.
>>82754509
I think the most terrifying part is that he can use the two colors of the emotional spectrum that have been canonically shown to drive their wielders batshit insane (Red and Orange) with no negative side affects to doing so.
>>82750803
Surfer wouldn't vaporize his friend even if T'Challa was sperging out over someone stealing his vibranium tendies or whatever the hell was going on.
Plus legitimate miscommunication with the artist.
>>82750944
I like that Waid actually used Daredevil villains (I didn't even KNOW Jester was a media manipulator, that's awesome!) but yeah we could've used some Mysterio.
>>82748859
you missed
>Create a lot of small portals and throw someone into them
>>82751950
Marci Camp is cute. CUTE
>>82751871
Its because people think "big strong idiot" instead of "viciously cunning criminals who steal magic from the gods.".
They just need a decent Thor book to give them a good run again.
>>82754018
Which frankly makes sense. If anything I'd think Fury'd be frustrated at Frank's obsession limiting the good he could do if he, say, signed up with SHIELD.
"Oh okay you just want to stalk and murder mobsters all day and tell yourself it doesn't make you a serial killer that's fine I guess."
>>82754748
I'm fine with jokes in comics, I'd just like them to be good jokes or not take the place of action scenes.
Like all she'd need to do to make me buy that is fully cover her face with some emergency bat-hood and make a show of dodging.
>>82753395
Right at the end of the arc, whenSpot gets free and kills Coyote.
>>82755187
SWEET HONKING ARSE BANDITS!
>>82755360
It's fucking terrifying.
>>82749012
>you over baked potato skin
(golf claps)
Nice one, anon.
>>82755391
Dammit, this is not the time to be getting Diamond is Unbreakable flashback!
>>82750753
yeah he can because he's a nigger.
diveristy.
>>82754748
>Comics should be full of jokes
Idiots like you are the reason comics are garbage nowadays. What we need is good balance of serious and funny, like with everything else.
I reckon that if he ever goes evil/psychotic, the heroes would be royally fucked.
>>82754748
>every comic should have jokes, even if it doesn't belong and you're stupid if you disagree
Kill yourself.
>>82749774
Mother.fucking.superman.villain.
>>82749819
I'm curious. How's the edit?
>>82755754
>I reckon that if he ever goes evil/psychotic
funny you should bring that up since it's the plot of the current Vision comic.
>>82755938
Tom King's run? Well, I have to read it then.
>>82750741
that game was the balls.
>>82750001
Jesus.
>>82756011
It's a slow burn and we're just getting to Vis starting to lose it but it's great and easily the best current Marvel book.
>>82749140
Damn it, Pym, get out of here.
>>82748945
I can see Kaine becoming that if Grim Hunt and Spider-Island didn't make him a hero
>>82756176
King's one of those rare writers who loves comic books and continuity without feeling the need to be utterly beholden to it. He's not ashamed of being a comics fan even if his style of story isn't the same as the stuff he loved as a kid, and it shows in his work.
>>82751362
pretty much immortal, super-regenerative, shapeshifter with superhuman strength, speed and reflexes
why do writers hate Carnage and make him job every fucking time?
>>82751871
to be fair, it was Masterson's ass he kicked
and just absorbing Uru doesn't give you the magic enchantments too
>>82755938
Virginia is as strong as Vision and as psychotic as Wanda in her worst days
I can't wait to see how they deal with that
>>82749817
Why does Black Panther have so few ribs?
>>82756637
Had them removed. For reasons.
>>82751871
>fuck you Paul Jenkins
You...I like you.
>>82754748
Jokes are supposed to be funny.
>>82748945
This has always been an aspect of Spidey
He's strong enough to 1v1 most of the Avengers, and a Spidey clone even successfully fights the early Avengers minus Thor until Thor gets his hammer back (Read: the plot of every single 60s Avenger's comic), but he spends most of his time catching bank robbers and mobsters
Purple man. There is literally no reason he isn't shadow president of the world other than he doesn't want to.
>>82751900
i think at one point she actually gets that suit
>>82758708
Well that and DOOM would probably fuck him up if he tried moving against Latveria politically
How would The Spot work in the MCU, could it even be possible especially considering his power would make things akward from a choreography point of view?
Also I'd really love to read an ongoing where he just becomes an assassin, traveling the globe and putting his powers to good use, he could be the next Punisher.
>>82749633
Restrain them, then use Kaine's "Mark of Kaine" trick to tear off their skin or something.
Alternatively, superhuman agility + superhuman strength + inertia from, say, a web-catapult + unlucky enemy = goresplosion.
Stilt man could crush you with his stilts.
Thats very dangerous.
>>82761339
Lady Stilt Man crushes you with stilts and feminism, imagine getting your testicles crushed as she bangs on about how white people are all evil.
>>82761458
>imagine getting your testicles crushed as she bangs on about how white people are all evil.
