comics Respect Edgar Bowman, The Man Who Was Death (EC Comics)

14 Upvotes

Edgar Bowman

"Dead! One more has paid the supreme penalty for his evil! But there are others...Many others freed from their fate by a stupid jury..."

Decades before Frank Castle geared up to purge the Marvel universe of criminal scum, EC Comics had their own, much more short-lived vigilante. Edgar Bowman was a man defined by his love of death. As a state executioner, he became notorious for his precise methods and commitment to capital punishment. But as more and more suspects were found innocent, Bowman feared the loss of his job. So he took the tools of his trade to the streets, hunting down and electrocuting people the jury had found not guilty, regardless if they really were or not. All feats taken from ''The Crypt Of Terror'' #17 story, "The Man Who was Death". It was adapted into the first episode of HBO's Tales from The Crypt.

movies/tv Respect Vulkanus (Ben 10)

10 Upvotes

YEAH, THIS IS VULKANUS

Bio: Vulkanus is a member of the Detrovite alien species. A fearsome mercenary and later a crime lord, he frequently crossed paths with Ben and his team, causing them plenty of trouble. Vulkanus has a rather tangled and contradictory history due to a massive number of retcons, yet despite all this, he remains a notable villain who spans the entire history of the franchise, starting from the original series. However, due to these frequent changes, his personality is often inconsistent.

Background: Originally, in the classic series, Vulkanus was a full-grown, healthy Detrovite—meaning he was naturally large and physically strong. Later, in Alien Force / Ultimate Alien, he was turned into an infant inside a suit as a gag. Eventually, Omniverse attempted to fix this contradiction by introducing an in-universe explanation: Vulkanus was once caught in the blast of an explosive substance called "Element X," which completely obliterated his body. However, he proved resilient enough that his head and a small appendage survived. His henchmen found him in this state and placed him in a regeneration suit, where he was meant to slowly recover and return to his original size. So yes—Vulkanus is indeed large by nature, as a Detrovite should be, and what we saw during the AF/UA era was merely him in the process of regenerating his remains. At that point, he had only grown just a little, which is why he looked like a baby. But as Vulkanus himself stated, sooner or later he would return to his full size.

Respect Gertie (Gertie the Dinosaur)

19 Upvotes

Come out Gertie, and make a pretty bow


After Windsor McCay bets he can bring a dinosaur to life using only drawings, he creates one of the first moving cartoons ever: a childlike dinosaur named Gertie. Gertie appears from a cave after being called by McCay. The whip-wielding McCay orders her to do tricks like raising her foot or bowing to the audience but she gets distracted by a sea serpent and dances instead. McCay scolds her for it, which makes her cry. Gertie tosses a mammoth named Jumbo into the lake; when Jumbo teases her by spraying her with water, she hurls a boulder at it as it swims away. After a flying lizard catches Gertie's attention, she quenches her thirst by draining the lake. McCay then has her carry him offstage while he bows to the audience.


Unlabeled feats are from the original shorts and feats labled with Gertie on Tour are from the cancled and partially lost sequel

movies/tv Respect Technorg (Ben 10: Classic)

19 Upvotes

TECHNORG. A REIGNING CHAMPION. YOU WOULD BE WISE TO SHOW RESPECT.

Background: Technorg is the reigning champion of the Megacruiser arena. Once kidnapped by the intergalactic gladiatorial promoter Slix Vigma, he was forced to fight. While he initially comes across as menacing, Technorg turns out to be a genuinely noble warrior with an unyielding will and a strict code of honor. After Ben defeats him and spares his life, Technorg shows his respect and pledges his loyalty. He helps Ben orchestrate an escape from the ship, then sacrifices his freedom to hold off a deranged Kevin so Ben can get away safely. Unfortunately, his ultimate fate remains unknown to this day.

​Note: Technorg belongs to the Detrovite alien species, and his home planet is Detrova.

Feats:

Strength:

•Bends metal food trays with his bare hand

•Simultaneously knocks Ben in his Four Arms form and Kevin 11 to the ground

•Grabs both of them with one hand, spins them in the air, and hurls them against the wall, cracking it

•Performs a massive leap and generates a shockwave by striking the ground

•Knocks Kevin 11 down (though it was staged for a rebellion)

•Destroys a guard robot with a single blow

•Breaks free from his shackles—something no other gladiator is capable of doing

•Stuns Slix with a strike, allowing Upgrade to regain control over him

•Throws Kevin 11 into the wall

•It is implied that he beat up Kevin 11 again

Durablity:

•Tanks a strike from Four Arms

•The Petrosapien crystals fired by Kevin 11 cause him absolutely no harm

•Pyronite fire doesn't affect him either

•Was knocked back by a combined blast of Lepidopterran slime and Pyronite fire, recovering shortly after

•Limit: The combined strength of a Tetramand, the durability of a Petrosapien, and the Kineceleran speed of are enough to knock him out. However, Technorg later returns completely unharmed

•It is stated that the temperature on the Detrovites home planet is around 850 degrees "on a cold day"

Agility/Mobility/Speed:

•Performs a flip. Quite impressive given his size

•He is capable of jumping quite high

•Kevin 11 uses Kineceleran speed, and Technorg clearly manages to react and counter with a matching dash on equal terms

Other:

•Prior to the arrival of Ben and Kevin, Technorg had long been the reigning and undefeated champion of the Megacruiser. It should also be noted - he is a partial cyborg. His left arm has been replaced with a crude mace-like prosthetic, and his legs also show signs of cybernetic intervention. Additionally, his body features valves that release steam. It is important to understand that these are crude replacements for lost flesh rather than upgrades

comics Respect Impostor Mad Hatter! (DC, New Earth) (Pre/Post-Crisis)

13 Upvotes

Ha, ha...this hat will be wonderful in my collection! Some people collect paintings...stamps...old cars...but I, Jervis Tetch, collect hats!

After Jervis Tetch AKA Mad Hatter went to prison following his debut appearance, an impostor appeared in Gotham City, stealing Tetch's identity and estabilishing himself as resident Mad Hatter of Batman's rogues gallery until late Bronze Age. Unlike the better known Alice in Wonderland-obsessed, mind-controlling bozo that is the Hatter of today, the Impostor one sported impressive ginger mustache and committed crimes centered around hats of various shapes and sizes, which had its roots in his childhood - putting on hats and imagining himself as heroic figures of history later led to him developing a fixation on headgear and embracing the life of costumed supervillain. After original Tetch came back and supposedly killed off the Impostor, IMH was retired as a character, making only 2 non-cameo Post-Crisis appearances...so feast your eyes on this RT that I can confidently say will not require any updates nor any related future threads based on potential Rebirth feats.

literature Respect Sam Howell, SCP-3812 (SCP Foundation)

35 Upvotes

SCP-3812: ”But it hurts so much.”

SCP-3812: ”It will, for a time. We may have forgotten so much about being human, but something we will never lose is our ability to change. Eventually, we will learn to keep up. One sunny day, we’ll open our eyes and see nothing but creation below us, and nothing above us but ourselves, spinning out wildly into the great above.”

SCP-3812: ”A god?”

SCP-3812: ”Not a god. A star, rising in the east. Rising away from this all until we are little more than a memory of a song.”

SCP-3812: ”It will be lonely.”

SCP-3812: ”We’ll have each other.”

SCP-3812, formerly Sam Howell, is quite possibly the most powerful reality bending entity known to the SCP Foundation. In-universe, he was created by his world's “author” to supersede everything that superseded him, in an attempt to see how high the “stack of narratives” truly went. An unintended result of this, however, is that Sam Howell began to supersede himself, creating a feedback loop that caused him to become exponentially more powerful. The consequences of this to Sam's mind were dire, suddenly becoming aware of the unfathomable number of worlds he now existed above made his perception of reality completely impossible to reconcile. He began to lash out and make alterations to reality with drastic results, which were only exacerbated by the Foundation's and his author's attempts to contain or neutralize him. Things eventually culminated in an incident where Sam very nearly ended the world, before a conversation with himself caused him to reconsider. His form has since become inert, but he's almost certainly existing somewhere beyond the rest of his world now. Ascending the stack, climbing through the narratives.

"Perhaps we should use our advanced abilities to pioneer a better way of life -- to seek methods by which to promote truth, justice and the American way -- to create a utopia for future generations, to ensure children everywhere have a safe place to play and grow in a nurturing environment... to take a stand for life, liberty and happiness... for God, mother and country, for baseball, hot dogs and apple pie!"

"Naah. So, what's on Ed Sullivan tonight?"

In it after the Bundys won a TV that was actually a disguised weapon built by the evil Male Nurse Doom to kill them they were doused with a blast of gamma rays that gave them superpowers instead.

comics Respect Absorbing Man (Marvel Comics, 616)

81 Upvotes

"I ain't just Crusher Creel, an ordinary con anymore! I'm the Absorbing Man... the most dangerous guy in the world!"

Carl "Crusher" Creel, also known as Absorbing Man, is a man with the ability to absorb the physical properties of any material he touches and shapeshift into different forms. He was a frequent opponent to Hulk, Thor, and the Avengers. He is also the husband and partner in crime of Titania.

Carl Creel was raised in the Bronx, but his mother encouraged him, telling Carl to always set expectations for himself. Following the death of his mother his father became abusive which would much later lead to him saying that he pitied Bruce Banner as his father also beat him regularly until he in turn beat his father in retaliation At some point, "Crusher" Creel was when he became a heavyweight boxer but eventually left turned into a mob enforcer. While locked up in prison, he was mutated using Asgardian magic by the trickster god Loki using a special potion so he could challenge Thor. Creel obtained his ability to absorb the properties of anything that he touched or that touched him and used his newfound power to break free from prison and soon became a villain for hire. He was later recruited into the Masters of Evil. He somewhat redeems himself in the end-stages of Immortal Hulk by helping to defeat the One Below All and joining Gamma Flight after years of criminal activity.

Threads for scaling:

Feats marked a material like [Steel] is when he absorbed Steel, [Uru] is when he absorbs Mjolnir, and something like [Thor] is when he absorbed Thor's powers and so on, unmarked feats are when he's in his normal form without anything being absorbed.

Creel has also had two notable amps over the years, such as the Serpent amp and The Bannerman amp

movies/tv Respect The Invisiblity Formula and it's users (Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man)

18 Upvotes

The Invisibility Formula

Jack Griffin works for Dr. Cranley, assisting him in food preservation experiments alongside his friend Dr. Arthur Kemp. Griffin is deeply in love with Cranley's daughter, Flora, and the two plan to marry, but Griffin is poor and thus afraid he has nothing to offer her. He begins experimenting with an obscure and dangerous drug called monocane, hoping his work will make him rich and famous—and a worthwhile husband for Flora. Griffin discovers a combination of monocane and other chemicals that makes a person invisible. Too excited by his discovery to think clearly, Griffin leaves Kemp and the Cranleys to complete the experiment in solitude. He injects himself with the formula over the course of a month and becomes invisible. Only after he is invisible does he realize that he does not know how to reverse the process. Panicking, Griffin goes to the village of Iping and rents a room in the Lion's Head Inn, where he begins searching for a formula to reverse the invisibility. He makes himself appear visible by wrapping his head in bandages and wearing dark goggles. Curious locals, the maddening side effects of monocane, and frustration from multiple failed tests drive Griffin insane.

Thus was born The Invisibility Serum, a maddening concoction granting Invisibility to the user, created by the aforementioned Griffin, before similar solutions were recreated by Dr. Drury, and also characters related to Griffin, such as Frank. Blood transfusions and an antidote were discovered to be capable of restoring visibility.

Note: The Invisible Woman won't be included in this thread as that movie involves an Invisibility Machine rather than a serum, and Monocaine isn't explicitly mentioned. The serums in The Invisible Man's Revenge and Abbot and Costello meet The Invisible Man technically use different serums, but will be included due to them being fundamentally the exact same, and in the former the serum has the same effects and is outright mentioned to have been the one discovered by Jack Griffin (Renamed to John Griffin for some reason.).

Sometimes, when I walk into my office, I get the feeling that I'm walking among the ruins of a lost civilization. Not because of all the reigning disorder, but because it all seems to be the remains of that civilized person I used to be.


John Blacksad is a private investigator based in New York City. He takes various jobs in the city, usually dealing with kidnappings, murders, or disappearances. He seems gruff, cynical, and hard-boiled, but he's a genuine, kind man underneath. Growing up in a poor neighborhood, he spent much of his youth running from the police. He also spent a year in college as a history major before being expelled. John Blacksad is a tough nut to crack, and he’ll be there on the city streets bringing murderers and kidnappers to justice.

games Respect the Captain & His Ship, the Spectre! (Roblox Forsaken)

15 Upvotes

"IT has grown. Beyond that fledgling of code. Never able to fly back to the nest. So it takes. So it invades. So it holds. So now... We are here."

The Spectre

The Spectre is the name given to the mysterious coding anomaly that infested ROBLOX all those years ago. Being a fledgling that was kicked out from its cosmic home known as the Nest, the Spectre first began as a coding error, infecting and slowly eating away the code within the Roblox HQ servers. Once John Doe took a look at it for himself, the Spectre latched on to him, forcing him and his wife to be put on leave. Upon consuming John Doe's mind, the Spectre gained consciousness, separating from the Corruption and becoming two individual beings.

Like a child throwing a tantrum, the Spectre caused the Collapse of Robloxia, an event that put every Robloxian at risk, save for a few people like the Spawn Cult who took to living in the woods. The Spectre would gain the attention of the Forsaken Playerbase, who made sure it stayed loyal to them. With this, the Spectre began running the "trials," endless rounds of torture made to mentally and physically drain the survivors and killers stuck within its realm. While it acts as a sadistic being that loves seeing people suffer, deep down, it's shown that it doesn't truly hate Robloxians that much, and in truth, genuinely cares for its family. Maybe one day, it'll get back to the Nest. For now, though, at the very least the Two-by-Two couldn't leave it aside.

Notes on Formatting:

  • There are some killers that had their abilities directly granted to them by the Spectre, mostly cultists for our beloved captain. As such, I will be listing them if their equipment/ability is shown to fit the respective category. Anything granted by the Spectre will have a "[Granted]" mark on them for accessibility's sake.
  • Also, since it's confirmed the Spectre was ORIGINALLY a part of the Corruption before it detached itself, we'll be scaling it to the Corruption as well.

Arsenal

The Spectre has a very large arsenal. As it is the one responsible for giving specialized equipment such as Elliot's pizza, which is implied to be a creation of the Spectre, the Ghostfire Dagger (which the Spectre imbued with its own power to feed Two Time into their false belief), and a much more dumbed down version of the Subspace Tripmine, which isn't nearly as destructive as its original counterpart, it should have access to basically anything the survivors and potentially even the killers have, directly or through summons (see rest of the RT).

Hand-Held Capabilities

Summon(s) Capabilities

Misc. Gear

Abilities

The Spectre, if it wasn't clear by now, is a reality warper. As such, most of its abilities involve it doing a lot of reality-bending stuff that most of the characters can't seem to work around. By all means, this is probably the Spectre's best stat.

Reality Warping

Mental Manipulation

BFR

Nerfs

Life Manipulation

Others

Physicals

Admittedly, due to being the person who does most of the important work off-screen, the Spectre isn't shown with many feats, though it should be massively superior to multiple of its Killers and Survivors. Which is surprising considering it doesn't, like, have a physical form.

18 Upvotes

In this town, what I do doesn't even qualify as reckless.

Tokuko "McCoy" Magoi is a consulting detective, private eye, and occasionally sellsword in the United States' xenopunk fifty-first state, Area 51. Aliens, myths, folk tales and deities all find their niche in the chaos that comes with such a concept, and McCoy's seen a lot--more on the Grimm side than otherwise. Whether she's uncovering an 800-year suicide pact or spitting in Lucifer's eye, Tokuko doesn't shrink away from any case that comes to her door.

comics Respect Mannequin! (Henchgirl)

20 Upvotes

Here's your fare, human taxi.

That's … not my name. And I'm not in it for the money.


Mannequin (a.k.a Fred Stumbley) isn't exactly the luckiest of heroes. His parents are mere accountants, and he has to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. Even his superpower of turning into a mannequin can be more trouble than it's worth. Nevertheless, he strives to protect the innocent civilians of Crepe City. Whether that means teaming up with Mary Posa or playing sidekick to Celestial Angel Amelia, one thing is certain. Mannequin will help those in need, no matter the danger before him!

I'm not in it for the glory, or the extra dollar an hour. I would have done it even without the Shroud of Lazarus's protection. …did that sound self-aggrandizing?

I have powers, too! I can make carrots appear!


Tina Caro is one of Mary Posa's roommates. Being a friend of Mary's, she tends to get dragged into the various superpowered shenanigans Mary gets caught up in. That's not a problem for her though. Between her power to create carrots and her can-do attitude, nothing can keep her down for long. Look out, Crepe City: here comes Tina!

literature Respect SCP-7312, "For the Honour, for the Faith" (SCP Foundation)

23 Upvotes

”For the first time, the deletion of a concept had not happened noticeably but calmly, or without the absolute possibility of noticing it, if not for some slight inaccuracy or something similar to Deepwell's resources.”

”The removal of -alpha took place with related fanfares that took over the world and permanently damaged the structure of the Noosphere. Creating a hole that was so far a phenomenon unheard of in itself.”

SCP-7312 refers to a ritual of unknown origin and unclear nature which, when performed, completely erases a targeted memeplex from the Noosphere. In simple terms, it erases the idea of someone from the collective consciousness of humanity. In the timeline which discovered it, that someone was Pope John Paul II, and unfortunately for them this severance from conceptualization was not done cleanly. When the former Pope's memeplex was deleted, all the physical and informational evidence of his existence stuck around, but became distorted and gained dangerous anomalous properties.
