Lowest Showing

Simple enough thread. Pick a character, post their lowest showing.

TWO RULES:

1. Must be, or had been at one point, canon. No webcomics, alternate universes, anything like that. Must have been an in-continuity comic.

2. Must be powers/talent/combat related. No weird cuckoldy shit. Looking at you Stilt. Stick to things like durable characters getting knocked out easily, or smart characters doing things that are monumentally stupid.

You ****ers love posting low showings, so let's see what you can do when you really try.

Carvy lips containment thread.

I'm going to love this thread. I'll be right back.

Genius idea.

Love it.

Hercules........getting knocked out by DD's billy club.

Silver Surfer getting armbarred by T'Challa ( although we all know that was PIS writing ).

The idea of that particular armlock technique is causing so much pain, the arm is effectively paralyzed.

In the comic book world where nerve strikes can one-shot Class 100 characters, that's nothing weird.

Anyway, McDuffie himself did backpedal on this (or it was his intent all along, we'll never know):

Sounds like he was just covering his ass, but I suppose there's always the chance he's telling the truth. Then again, we saw what he did with Justice League, so...

Yeah, CBR guy believes so, too:

I don't think the incident is nearly as egregious as fans have made it out to be over the years, but at the same time, McDuffie's explanation really doesn't follow, either. Surfer's "un-hand me" line was just him allowing Panther to restrain him? Come on. I just don't buy it. (...)

Exactly, we can't rule it out completely.

Took him 3 years and 3 months to make a statement on that 😂 Somehow, I don't think that Captain Atom dude was the first fan to ask him about it.

And Herc wasn't KO'd.

Wrong, The Daredevil incident DID happened, Herc was hit in the back of the head with it, I'll search for the scans of it.

You are an idiot, lawest.

😂 Yeah, it seems a bit too suspicious.

I repent, it was Cap's shield but it was DD who deflect it to knock Herc out, but still a low showing for Herc.

Someone even asked Brevoort... back when Formspring still existed... but he was really tired of these battlezone questions and refused to give a good answer.

Your are an ******* Stilt and Herc was stunned at the very least for a moment.

Cap's shield hurt everyone from Ultimus and Griffin to Thanos and Onslaught.

That's what it does.

Herc's getting up in the next panel and his thought bubbles are giving us his commentary on the events.

I imagine it's ****ing tiring, tbh.

We already see how bad it can be when we do it "for fun" right here 😂

He was getting tons of hate, but imagine how it felt, being asked for the nth time who would win in a fight / who was stronger / who was faster / whose cosmic pants could hold more energy without ejaculating all over the universe.

That's why I never minded him trolling some fanboys away.
