More Digital Watercolor Testing, Use A Mixture Of Painting With It So It's Not Quite "Pure". Still Experimenting

Superpower Ramblings: The Muscle 

Back aging with my BS, this time breaking down & trying to innovate on 'The Mussel'/ Explanatory, the Mussel is what it says on the tin, the Guy or Gal that's the strongest in the group, physically largest or not they will fall under several other categories such as "The Flying Brick" or "Combat Master" not "The Big Guy". These are not what I will be talking about today (Mostly), Im talking about the pure Mussel.  

Characters such as The Hulk, Luke Cage, etc. That have no or minimal training, they punch & punch and don't have a whole lot else going for them. Occasionally you get Mussel backed by Brains /Genius Bruiser such as DC's Hourman (Depending on the version), and Marvels Hank McCoy/'The Beast'. However they have something else going for them, I'm talking about pure strength builds with nothing else, so smarts, no secondary powers going for them, nothing. Characters like these usually fall into the "Dumb Muscle" camp, being all muscle, which is a disservice to their character as it degrades their role in the story, or the villainous version being 'The Brute' who are usually a throwaway character. 

The most common option is making them a "Combat Master" such as Wonder Woman or even the villainous version of the Hulk from the current 'Ultimate Marvel Universe', and while this what I think it should be I think it oversteps its bounds and they become another architype. Most "Combat Masters" have had decades if not centuries of implied experience honing their craft, and due to the Status Quo characters cannot evolve past a run to retain skills. At the best of times, you will have characters pull out stunts they learned 'in-between' runs/volumes without seeing any implied training. And that takes into account that you have descent control over your strength & won't just destroy the city because you know how to punch properly. 

SO now lets go to our character creation scenario, you as the average civilian are endowed with power beyond power, and you can't open your door or get physical with people without accidently destroying with them. You have the average experience, average money, and no connections, what would you do? Can you afford in time or money to take that expensive kung-fu/karate/ti-chi class every week? probably not, but you still want to go out there and do your best without causing massive damage & lawsuits for all the destroyed property, what can you do? Its simple, Hug them. 

No, I'm serous, when most people want to do no damage but still restrain people the best option is to go in for a bear hug, as Super Strength usually also comes with Super Durability and Stamina. Of course, you will be used as a "Warf Effect" constantly to show how powerful the villain is, and is what should spurs on an evolution, in this case taking the simple bear hug and turning it into Greco-Roman wrestling/Sumo. Yes, I am serous. Because unless you're team already has a 'Combat Master' on it you don't have the time or connection to get anywhere near the level that you need to control you strength enough to use it without 'Super Power Proof' items/housing. 

More ramblings of a madman, see you next time.
