Popularity Power/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

* [[Deadpool]] once realized that this was the reason that he can never die, so [[Death Seeker|in order to die]] he decided to {{spoiler|go out and [[Take That|kill]] [[No Fourth Wall|all of his fans]]}}.

 

* A notable aversion came in one of the DC/Marvel crossovers, when the JLA went up against the X-Men. Batman, the most popularity-powered character of them all, sprang a surprise attack on Cyclops who, while he has plenty of fans, also attracts more hate than probably any other X-Man (with the possible exception of Gambit). Guess which one got taken down.

** In fairness, you did say 'surprise attack' and Batman is a specialist in stealth and martial arts while Cyclops is a glass cannon who, despite his tremendous offensive power, can be punched out as easily as any other non-superpowered athlete of his build. Moreover, the guy whose superpower is literally "vaporize anything I look at" can pretty much ''only'' be taken out by hitting him when he's not looking, which is exactly why its how he loses all the time.
