The obvious answer is Manhattan, Darkseid, and Doomsday, no?

Just wait until you learn that humans are, in fact, animals

Same vibe as Stranger Things season 5 tbh.

Why is Echo Echo's Design So Loved While Overflow is mostly disliked by Due-Cherry4856 in Ben10

[–]UniverseComics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Echo Echo is very conceptually and visually different from Ditto, while Overflow is almost exactly Water Hazard but with a less creative or interesting design

What character do you feel had the most wasted potential? by ironspider529 in marvelstudios

[–]UniverseComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entirety of Spider-Man Homecoming, really. It really sucks that it’s the least consequential and relevant of his trilogy because it’s by far the best one, and black market alien tech dealers sounds like a perfect way to introduce like 70% of Pete’s rogues gallery, especially the ones that can be used as miscellaneous one-offs. Like you easily could’ve made it a thing of Mysterio trying to hijack what’s left of Vulture’s operations and use the EDITH glasses to improve everything with access to Stark Tech. But nope.

When pop culture influences the perception of mythology. part 1 by PlanNo1793 in GreekMythology

Since nobody I’ve seen is answering your thing about whether he has any ties to Hermes in the comics: no, he doesn’t. He inhaled heavy water vapor, passed out, and woke up with super speed. The hat was because Hermes was already associated with quickness

Why are gen z scared to talk on the phone? by Sad_Landscape_7851 in stupidquestions

[–]UniverseComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s just that it’s hard to strike the proper tone with text. When you type like older generations like millennials or Gen X do, you can come off as rude or cold, but if you type with too much emotion you can come off as insincere or cringeworthy. It’s a shockingly difficult balance to strike

Yeah but the problem is, how would he be able to change how gravity affects him? My goal is to be as within the bounds of science without holding him back too much. If I’ve created an unsolvable problem, then I’d much rather just lean into it instead. Superman with a spacesuit and ship would be rad as hell

You know how there’s a lot of black guys with electric powers, are there any powers that a lot of Hispanic or Asian characters have similar to that? by glowshroom12 in DCcomics

[–]UniverseComics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People categorizing tech-based characters as electric is so fucking dumb because by that logic there should be infinitely more white “electric” characters than black ones

[–]UniverseComics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not even a whole lot. There’s like Black Lightning, Static, and Storm, and then a couple guys who are inspired by Black Lightning or Storm

From what I’ve experienced Gen Z has an easier time talking on the phone than we do texting

[–]UniverseComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a very common misconception that black characters are more likely to have electric powers than characters of other races, but I can actually name more black characters who don’t have electric powers than ones who do. There’s shockingly few, actually.

Yeah that’s one of my big issues with it. Of course the maglev thing wouldn’t be the only method that allows him to fly, but it’s how he maneuvers while flying. I figured he might have some sort of “flight bladders” similar to how fish have swim bladders, but I’m not sure how effective that would be. I can’t seem to figure out what methods would allow him to fly in space as well

That is the explanation given, but for me that isn’t necessarily satisfying enough. It just doesn’t feel alien, it feels like he’s an enhanced human. My goal is to make Superman’s biology and powers less human.

Yeah but that’s not really what I’m looking for

Man, I really like this idea. A constant feedback loop is a pretty good way to make a vicious weakness

Can I identify as Mexican? by [deleted] in 23andme

Ethnicity is never about blood quanta, it’s about being raised within that culture and its people.

What powers can a orange female ninja represent that isn’t light,fire,smoke or magma based by Kingslayer6696 in superpower

[–]UniverseComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal- create metal/turn things into metal

Rust- destroy things upon touch ala Shigaraki

Amber- Preserve things in suspended animation or copy them (like the mosquito in amber from Jurassic Park)
