How Do I Shot Web?: Difference between revisions

== Web Comics ==

* After the titular character of ''[[Spinnerette]]'' acquires spider powers from a gene-splicing ray, she gets to ''literally'' figure out how to shot web. Like [[Spider-Man (film)|movie-verse Spidey]], she eventually learns how to do it; ''unlike'' movie-verse Spidey, though, it doesn't come from her wrists....

** She should have asked the [[The Venture Brothers|Brown Widow]] for some tips.

{{quote|'''Sahira:''' ''(laughing)'' Yeah, I guess it'd make sense for the web to come out of your ass!

'''Heather/Spinnerette:''' It does not come out of my ''ass''! [[Insistent Terminology|It comes out of a gland at the base of my spine!]] }}

* The full capabilities of the Monster in the Darkness from ''[[The ~~Order of the Stick|~~Order of the Stick]]'' have never been revealed. The in-comic reason is speculated to be that he's too... childlike to know his full potential.

** Xykon implies once or twice that he actually knows the exact limitations and capabilities of the Monster in the Darkness, even if the Monster doesn't; he's repeatedly stated that the Monster is his trump card, and he has no intentions of bringing it out until its planned debut, or until things go completely out the window, whichever comes first.

* Even though she gained her alternate form some time ago, Mye from [http://www.drunkduck.com/Charby_the_Vampirate/ Charby the Vampirate] doesn't know most of the forms abilities. While she did suddenly learn she could teleport during a fight, and apparently has much greater strength, she still hasn't gotten around to learning to fly and mentions the fact to herself every time she gets stuck in a situation where flight would get her to safety.

* In ''[[Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki]]'', the main character Yuuki is selected to be the next Valkyrie, and is flung into several fights with no idea how to use her new powers. She's forced to more or less play it by ear early on. That's not the least of her problems, though...

* In ''[[Freak Angels]]'', [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Arkady's apparent hobby is figuring out just ''what'' she and the other titular psychics can do with their powers. She's recently perfected teleportation. {{spoiler|1=It's implied that all the ~~FreakAngels~~ doing this together is what caused [[The End of the World as We Know It]].}}

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' Gwynn has never really mastered her magical ability, partly because, more often than not, she bungles the spells badly and [[Hilarity Ensues]], partly because the source of her powers is the [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|Book of]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|E-Ville]].

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' Gwynn has never really mastered using her magical ability, partly because, more often than not, she bungles the spells badly and [[Hilarity Ensues]] (or, after the strip's 20th anniversary, Drama Ensues), partly because the source of her powers is the [[Tome of Eldritch Lore|Book of]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|E-Ville]]. She's never mastered ''not'' using her magical ability, either. This has left her, as of mid-2019, {{spoiler|exiled to an otherwise no-longer-used HeretiCorp space station where there is no magic for her to draw upon}}.

* Agatha goes through a period of this early in ''[[Girl Genius]]'', but for "sparks," this is normal. In fact, she would have finished going through the Shot Web phase years ago if she hadn't been {{spoiler|handicapped by her uncle's locket for her own protection}}.

** Following {{spoiler|the locket's removal}}, Gil remarks that she didn't break through so much as ''ease'' through.

* Happens frequently in ''[[Homestuck]]'', as the kids try to figure out what powers they have and how to use them. John takes an especially long time to figure out his [[Blow You Away|Heir of Breath]] powers but is ridiculously good at them once he learns the tricks; he also takes a while to master his [[Inventory Management Puzzle|Sylladex]]. Dave, figures out his [[Time Travel|Knight of Time]] powers relatively quickly, though he still [[Can't Catch Up]] with John in terms of raw power; his abilities are apparently more complicated, however, as he has to figure out how to navigate the game's [[Timey-Wimey Ball|massively screwed-up timeline]]. Rose hasn't put too much effort into figuring out her Seer of Light powers yet, preferring to hone her magical abilities. Jade isn't even sure what being Witch of Space ''means'', beyond apparently having "breeding duties" [[Makes Sense in Context|involving frogs]] and something about stoking a forge.

** This trope is mostly averted when each of the kids reach God Tier. John, {{spoiler|Rose, and Aradia}} all display instant mastery. On the other hand, Jade, who inherited both God Tier and {{spoiler|First Guardian}} powers is still working her way through the latter abilities.

* Happens frequently in [[Kagerou]], one of the more notable examples being Kano learning how to use the magic sword he's given. He still hasn't quite gotten then hang of it despite ongoing training and having had to use it a few times to avoid being killed.

* ''[[Sequential Art]]'', [https://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=1131 strip 1131], during an arc in which Kat has been transformed into a dragon in order to fight another dragon:
