Superhero or Wizard? - Page 2

Supervillain.

He had Super Speed, Super Strength, Invulnerability, Heat Vision, X-Ray Vision, and Ice Breath, same as post-Crisis, but Post-Crisis had less of all those and could fly proper instead of just jump around.

All his other 'ass pull' powers were bad physics and applications of his other powers.

I mean, really, is anyone gonna argue that 'SUPER WEAVING' wasn't just super speed applied to weaving? Really?

Yeah, there's a difference between having the myriad powers of the cosmos at your disposal and having shitty writers who decide to give you the Power of Plot.

Superman is easily the least interesting superhero of all time because of DC's obsession with squeaky-clean heroes combined with the fact that you always know who's going to win because he whips out some bullshit super-resist-Kryptonite-on-Tuesday-in-fair-weather power.

What's that? I'm a super-hero and have awesome-power instead of dumb-ass Roleleplaying-system-rules-power so I can do whatever the fuck I want?

like Clairvoyance and Psychic manipulation? and not being a dork in a stupid-ass hat?

Krylo · 02-09-2010, 12:02 AM

Did you see a hat on Mr. Majere?

I didn't see a hat on Mr. Majere.

I saw a look of pure fucking hate in his eyes, and if I were you I'd be a little more respectful of Mr. Majere's choice of professions.

Also

Super-Heroes only NEED one power.
Reality Warping, very common for not-lame as hell superheroes.

Krylo · 02-09-2010, 12:07 AM

Reality warping is just what magic is.

I mean, really man. Go look it up. In like 99% of mythologies it's all "I bend reality to my whims through sheer will alone."

Scarlet Witch is still a WITCH, dude. Witch is just a euphemism for wizard.

Got some broken image links in here, you know.

Besides that, there are spells for clairvoyance and psychic manipulation. There are spells for pretty much everything. You can kill stuff with rainbows for crying out loud. And it's actually one of the more useful spells due to the effects each color possesses.

And superheroes get to do it without wearing a stupid hat or spending five thousand years learning the Immortality spell they need to cast on themselves ot learn how to do anything worthwhile.

Scarlet Witch is a mutant which means
"I'm too awesome for even the origin shit and jsut came out of the box this way"
and a witch is a witch. a Wizard is'nt a wizard without his hat. Seriously.

Krylo · 02-09-2010, 12:16 AM

Man, you keep mentioning the hat.

Gandalf doesn't have a hat, Raistlin doesn't have a hat, his cousin Palin doesn't have a hat, Lina Inverse doesn't have a hat, Varsuvius doesn't have a hat, seriously man. The only actual named wizard I can think of with a hat is Fistandilus--and he gets a pass because his hat is sentient and he's a senile god.

And yeah, you're right.

Scarlet Witch is a mutant. There's a difference there. She's all like, "Oh my, I can't possibly warp reality without this slight alteration to my genetic genome that doesn't actually make any sense."

Wizards, on the other hand are like, "Hey, reality. You're my bitch, do what I say or I will fucking choke you," and reality's all like, "Yes sir! Just don't beat me again!"
