Proof Aquaman is the Most Powerful Superhero

[Setra]

Gave in terror at his TRUE POWER
This is a Joke topic, feel free to discuss if you wish though

[Durp]

That's blasphemy in every sense of the word. Seriously...

[Ichneumon]

How can I ever forget this image? These to things will be for ever linked in my head.

[Kaelaroth]

... That's incredibly hyper super-duper special awesome.

[chiasaur11]

Outrageous!

I call it: "The adventure where I mind controlled Cthulhu to fight pirates"!

[T-O-E]

I laughed.

Guess Aquaman's gonna get some revenge.

[Durp]

"Poach humpback whales, will you?!"
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."
*head explodes*

[Sholos]

Do you mind if I post this on another forum?

[Mando Knight]

Magnificent work, old chum!

And because I found you sleeping at the bottom of the sea, I think I'll call you...
Kraken!

-Except, that's Cthulhu.

Kraken it is!

[Rutskarn]

You know, I...I really, really didn't think anything could possibly make Aquaman even cool by proxy.

What this image makes me think of is the slowly-spreading, wickedly-gleaming grin of the lawyer-accountant RPG player who's just connected the dots between a seemingly useless ability and a seemingly impossible task.

It's a good thing.

*jaw drop*

Aquaman...controlling....Cthulhu....?

lame superhero......link with.......cool horror-god.........equals......

mind has been blown..........this brain is experiencing an error shutting down now........

[kpenguin]

I see your Cthulthu and raise you one Hawkgirl.

[GoC]

Outrageous!

AWESOMEtext>_>

[chiasaur11]

Actually, I read a short story on this bit a while back.

Tis here. Dates back to aught seven, meaning this idea has been done at least twice.

And since I was thinking about it, why not add in a second bit of goodness mostly unrelated. Here

[Tamburlaine]

Ha! Nicely done.

You know, I...I really, really didn't think anything could possibly make Aquaman even cool by proxy.

Aquaman was always cool, Superfriends just mucked him up hugely.

[Starscream]

Aquaman was never as lame as people portray him. If someone says he's weak, you can bet they're referring to the Superfriends version.

In fact, during his "bearded, angry, hook-handed grouch" phase he was downright badass at times. Sadly, the "purists" (read: bearded, angry grouches most of whom do not have hooks for hands) were against it.

[kpenguin]

Aquaman doesn't have a hook for a hand. He has a HARPOON for a hand.

[chiasaur11]

Yeah, the scion of Atlantis is okay. Brave and the Bold Aquaman goes all the way into awesome.

That, however, does nothing to change the fact Namor could beat his sorry hinder from Ryeth to Atlantis and back. Imperius Rex!

[Kris Strife]

Rustkarn, thats me... This explains Aquaman's mood swings: he's so far off the deep end hes went back around to the kiddie pool.

[kopout]

it makes scents. Also something bothering me , It says on the Mr. Welch list that Dwarves do not count as burrowing mamels except , they do , when you think about it. so Gnomes should, in theory, be able to effectively use there spell like ability to speak dwarfish.

Cthulhu's work is done.

[Hectonkhyres]

Ok... this image is officially canon. It completes the world.

Dwarves don't burrow. They mine/dig.

[Dienekes]

Wow, nothing original to add here really.

But that was awe inspiring!

Psht. Its hillarious to even assume that King Oriin would grace Namor with a fair fight when all he would have to do is mentally shut down his brain and walk away with a 5 second win over Marvel's king of the seas.

I can't take credit for this, I don't remember all of it, and the thread title gives the punchkline away. I saw it years ago on another board that was having a contest for scripting a superhero movie trailer.

Spoiler

Show

Generic Victim Character is being chased through an ally by Race-Indeterminate Gangster Types when GVC trips at the feet of Protector, who cannot be seen yet. The RIGTs brandish their weapons

P (in Russian-type accent): English is not my first language, but I believe the young lady was saying she is not interested.

RIGTs: Generic threats.

P: If it is a fight you want, I should warn you it will not be a fair one, since I have a super power.

RIGTs: Only one?

P: Only one.

RIGTs: Attack him.

The knife weilded by the first RIGT breaks when it hits P. Another RIGT tries to shoot him, but the bullet drops to the ground without penetrating. Another RIGT comes up with flashy martial arts moves, but P is clearly quicker.

Extremely Big And Threatening RIGT then lumbers up -- and P picks him up with one hand by the waist and throws him several stories up into the air. P then jumps up after him, catches him, and throws EB&T into a nearby trash container. The gun-weilding RIGT then shoots out the nearest light source -- but it is immediately clear this is no hindrance to P as he wipes the floor with the remaining thugs.

GVC (stammering): But... but... I thought you said you only had ONE power?

P (for the first time, you can see enough of him to realize he has blonde hair): This is true. And I didn't even have to use it this time.

GVC (quizzically): What... what is it?

P (smirk): I talk to fishies.

Dwarves don't burrow. They mine/dig.

But.. it's the same thing! They might not be using there hands and feet , but they burrow all the same. They live most of there lives in the tunnels, they raise kids inside. Some versions even eat rats and other tunnel vermin.

Read the Artemis Fowl series. It has dwarves which are like crosses between Wario and an earthworm.

Now hold on a second, are we sure that Aquaman is actually controlling Cthulhu there? This looks an awful lot like a picture of a Clownfish clearing off the dirt from a sea anemone.

Not really.
At the least, he's advising him on which direction to go.
That pose is classic "Onward! In that direction! Towards our foes!" and all that.
