It’s not easy to deflect a punch with a kick. Fortunately, Kickman is the world’s greatest kicker.
How could Taurus possibly stand up to the same kick that sent Superior Man out of orbit? Will Kickman get mad cow disease? Find out the answers to all of these questions in the upcoming episodes of Kickman! Kickman… Kickman…. Kickmannnn….
Raging Bull? So does he end up fat and out of shape?
And why isn’t he somewhere really far away?
He’s got super Bull power.
Gotta work Red into that Bull power thing…
Oh crikey someone actually survived that!!!
He’s tied to the ground some how. We will have to wait for the Mattsplation of what happened.
I’m going to go with “limited, unconscious gravity and density manipulation”, this gives him the trait “Immovable Object” OR “Unstoppable force” but not both at the same time, along with a significant amount of invulnerability, particularly if the “gravity” part involves some cancellation effect on Inertia instead of actually generating a hypermass.
Basically, Kickman’s kick doesn’t transfer force to this guys nuts, because the inertia is canceled. He’s doing the villain thing because his powers are UNCONSCIOUS-that is, reflexive rather than something he can actually investigate, train, and learn to exploit.
Okay, I’ll guess for “temporally displaced the hit”.
Philosophical question that’s completely divorced from the current comic panels, but how many villains are villains because they screwed up trying to be heroes?
I feel like you’re most qualified to answer that tbh, (no snark). …Duuno Any Superior kids who wanted to be heroes were probably killed by the big S. …And the bureaucracy for heroes is insane. Any hero is probably set with enough paperwork to prove that they tried to do the right thing at the right time. But I’m not certain on any of that. The world of Kickman has a lot of depth. Maybe it should have an RPG.
And if I’m actually that slow and you meant outside of comic, I’d say generally not many. Good and evil strike me as convenient labels these days. I’m not sure it was ever not thus. Anyone with real effectiveness either went without a trace or didn’t care about labels in the first place. And the labels shift quickly enough. Mark Anthony’s speech comes to mind. My view’s optimistic but I believe heroes are that which we hold in our hearts. (I have a LOT more on this, but it’s not related)
And if you mean comics in general the number’s pretty small and (I’m almost certain) mostly related to Stark.
Heroism comes down to character and character can be summed up as “how well you respond to adversity and failure.” Spider-Man fails Uncle Ben and becomes a hero. Lex Luthor loses his hair and becomes a villain.
Of course, your horoscope on the day you receive your powers/abilities is also SUPER important. (See Kickman Day One, page 1)
