Line 12:
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Bob's finger poke is liable to cause collateral damage to people and buildings nearby, and he has no [[Hero Insurance]] to fall back on.
** Alternatively, the finger poke is a representation that if Bob's finger poke ''alone'' is that powerful, then if Bob unleashed his full power, it would be [[The End of the World
** Bob's finger poke may accidentally ''kill'' his foe, either because Bob didn't know his own strength, or the mook was much weaker than he looked.
** The villain Bob does the finger poke on happens to be a weak mook, and the poke would have no effect on a much stronger foe.
Line 42:
** A character who gets his power from the damage he takes has Bob do the finger poke to him, so that he can secretely get stronger while Bob has the impression of effortlessly bringing him down.
** Also, Bob's opponent uses the chances he gets to experience or see Bob do this in action in order to understand just what force he's up against.
** The villain tries to pull a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] after Bob does this to him, to make the villain [[Villain
* '''Invoked''': Bob trained to get that powerful so he wouldn't have to put up with people who are seemingly stronger than him talking down to him.
* '''Untwisted''': Bob seemingly fails at doing the finger poke and breaks his arm out doing it...but then it turns out his real power can only be unlocked by extreme pain, allowing him to deliver the real deal.
