NOT SPOILER FREE sideblog for a very eclectic collection of my favorite knockout moments from over the years. no NSFW, torture, or general bad vibe whumping here, just regular ole battle damage
I wanna talk more about superpowers that come with side effects.
Give me telekinesis that causes migraines! Super strength that leaves the user bone tired and prone to narcolepsy! Fliers who need to be careful about pressure changes! Invulnerability that comes with numbness and loss of dexterity! Shape-shifting that hurts!
I want characters who need to be careful with their powers and face consequences when they over-exert themselves.
All of this was to say I want a character pushing their limits during a fight to then collapse as soon as the danger is out of the way <3
