So, having a feat of super-strength cannot be applied to lifting or moving things, otherwise it is a plot device? Powerhouses may only close with an opponent and attack with their bare hands, or in rare cases like Thor, a weapon that is "part of their described powers".
I wonder why it is that Wolverine fans think this way. It's ridiculous. What about telekinetics? Are they allowed to move things? Otherwise, it sort of takes the "kinetic" out of their abilities. Then why not powerhouses as well?
In any case, this is a non-issue. Jinzin is attempting to shift the discussion to the validity of the use of scenery, when such is mandated by the standard engagement rules of this forum:
"In a scenario fight, the contestants in whose city/reality the fight takes place are allowed access to any material resources they usually have there..."
And "any material resources" for a battle in Central Park obviously includes busses and trucks on Columbus Circle, trees in the park, the earth on the ground and the air in the sky. Case closed. 😄
