    Talk to sea creatures has to be one of the most broken abilities to have and the fact he can flood the whole earth with an entire army of all unknown creatures that lurk deep in the ocean at the bottom, aqua man definitely deserves more respect.

    Defeating Doctor Doom was impressive, but she had the help of many, many squirrels. When she defeated Thanos, she did it with the help of only Tippy Toe. Remember that the Watcher confirmed that Squirrel Girl and Tippy Toe defeated the real Thanos, not a clone, robot, or simulacrum, and by doing so, saved the multiverse. I am still waiting for Milana Vayntrub to play her in Live Action.

    Aquaman doesn't have the ability to talk to fish. He has the ability to control them. It was mentioned multiple times in the comics by him that just controls them, and fishes don't have the ability to communicate that well.

    • @dannytarver4533

    Penny packer is underrated. I’m saying. If he just duplicated the money he made everyday starting with one penny. He’d be a millionaire in a year. He could quite literally be the richest man in the Marvel universe and become an awesome villain or the president. There’s potential there.

  • @craigdeblock3421
    @craigdeblock3421 Před 15 dny

    Not entirely fair to Bouncing Boy - combined with a Legion flight ring, he could be surprisingly effective against projectiles and battering opponents (as long as they're not Daxamites or someone in that league, he can just thump them into unconsciousness.) And he and his wife were very effective at running, and teaching at, the Legion Academy. A big part of the appeal of the Legion is that a lot of its members have relatively weak powers but work well as a team, especially when well written - I have undying hate in my heart for what Bendis did to the Avengers, but he was, surprisingly, really good on the Legion.

  • @alanmiller7875
    @alanmiller7875 Před 17 dny

    How dare you call Squirrel Girl's powers bad... commanding swarms of extremely agile, clawed, rodents with teeth that can chew through almost anything... it's terrifying how strong that is and that ignores her own heightened agility and speed not to mention the extra balance that her tail gives her... plus she has claws. Doreen Green is unbeatable!

  • @brainlock72
    @brainlock72 Před 8 dny +1

    Did you do ANY research?
    Goldballs later became Egg, and he became one of The Five on Krakoa, essential to their cloning secret of kamikaze missions. Each egg was filled with raw genetic material, so they just needed to download the DNA of whoever died, then Cerebro would download their last daily memory upload, Tempo would age them to proper age, and Hope would then activate their mutant genes.
    And you come for Chuck, you come for the LEGION! Dude married a girl who could split herself into three bodies and she claims she could still barely keep up with him! He's also good buddies with Tenzil, too!
    While Chuck and Tenzil made the cut for the Legion, Color Kid did not, but was a founding member of the SUBSTITUTE LoSH. His powers were mostly played for laughs, as was the rest of the team, but Geoff Johns changed that by binding the powers to his already insane "Emotion Corps" that he expanded the Green Lantern Corps into, what is it, 11 different Corps, now? (ROYGBIV, White, Black, UltraViolet, etc)
    Also, at some point, Infectious Lass "accidentally" infected him with a gender reversing virus, so he is now she, but I understand prefers nb? and you thought Sean/Shvaughn Erin was confusing!
    I'm glad you used 1970s art for Squirrel Girl, who was pretty much forgotten until the 2000s. Also, she soloed THANOS. Even the Watcher confirmed it "was not a clone, robot, or other impersonator, but the REAL Thanos!" Her "secondary" ability is being able to defeat anyone who tries to fight her.

Ironically the latter didn't which proves his power.
