I’ve been saying this
…And on the seventh day…
God ended His work which He had done, and He rested…
since we have playable arlecchino and her animations I had to update my favourite pairing trope
Spinner will always have a tail for me and night vision. He deserves some love and attention. He can wield his giant mutant swords with his super strength and a cool dagger with his tail. He would have been the best. Imagine some lizard guy climbing up random buildings while carrying the entire League like they are just a bunch of grapes. And the hydrophobic skin is just a cool extra. But then the question would be if it were just a party trick or actually useful with him being human shaped aka a mutant and probably needing clothes (Big Probably cause I feel like he could also use his shed as amour like Mirio with his hair suit. That would be so so cool.
Now I can't stop thinking about him making raincoats out of his shed and probably gifting one to Toga so her nice jacket doesn't get ruined.
if you've seen my posts you would know that I have a soft spot for animal quirks, especially reptilian ones, so when i saw just how badly hori fumbled the potential of spinners quirk, I was ready to blow a fucking gasket.
For staters, here is a real gecko
And here is spinner
Spinner doesn't remsemble a gecko in the slightest, if anything he looks more like curt connors from the first spider man cartoon got his tail cut off permantly, wore a troll doll wig, and then decided to dress like a ninja.
The other problem comes from the fact that spinner only ability is wall crawling.
Are you serious.
You know what, just to spite hori, I've decided to list out all the gecko abilities that spinner should have gotten
Super strength: geckos setae arent just good for climbing they get also grant superhuman strength in allowing the user to bench 300 times their weight. This would been perfect for spinner since after muscular and nomu were gone, the league didnt have any real physical powerhouses on the team.
super speed: the worlds fastest gecko is the namib gecko, which can run appromixately 118 times its body length in one second, now imagine a human running that speed, honestly this would fit in well with someone who shtick is being a ninja.
cat like reflexes: you the old saying, "cats land on their feet"? Well same thing applies to gecko as well. They can use their tails to make sure they always land feet first. Again, perfect ability for a ninja
prehensile tail: imagine spinner wielding a sword with his tail, hell yeah.
Night vision: would have a good addition considering spinners debut was a night in a forest.
Camoflauge: also fits with the ninja motif of stealth and speed.
Foul smelling liquid: the golden tailed gecko can shoot a nasty smelling oil from its tail. This would work well ahainst heros like hound dog with enhanced smell.
Sonic bark: a tokay gecko can bark at 50 db, a man sized gecko could paralyze someone with their bark, gang orca style.
hydrophobic skin: any water attacks from heroes like wash and manuel would just bounce right off him, oh and it would let him walk on water.
Tomura, waking up in the hospital: You’re holding my hand.
Dabi: Yeah, I told them we’re married so that you don’t testify against me in court. Look, I even got you a ring.
Tomura: So you want us to fake being married?
Dabi: No, we’re real married. I forged your signature.
Tomura: …
Dabi: Your heart rate monitor is really going wild there boss.
I think it's rly cute that spinner's and toga's birthdays are back-to-back <3
