Power level vs Fear

What "hero" has the most quotes when it comes to "Oh sh** he's here" due to fear of power level. This isn't a "who is the most powerful character discussion". Post scenes of powerful beings being afraid of another powerful hero showing up or of one who has shown up that put fear in hearts.

Hulk.

Everyone sees him, and despite his history, sees him as yet another monster, like a giant super strong angry child.

We just posted three doom, sentry and gr

For Doom it's probably more like "oh shit he's here! how long until he is defeated this time?"

Also Doom isn't really a hero. Nor is Hulk and Sentry..I guess sometimes he is.

But anyways, I will mention Superman. I like the part in the JLU cartoon where Captain Atom confronts Superman and Supes tells him to step aside and he says no. Then Huntress is all "um SUPERMAN just told you to step the f*ck aside".

I guess not exactly fear. Though from the JL cartoon the look on Kalibak's face is priceless when he realizes Batman wasn't trying to fight him and was just stalling until Superman got there. To which then Superman one shots him.

Though of course the best example of this with Superman is when he confronts "The Elite" and has people thinking he has turned evil and murdered everyone. Pretty much everyone(not just the villains) collectively shits their pants at that point.

It's pretty telling that Superman can come off as more frightening then legit villains.

Just shows you the type of respect Superman gets... Even from other heroes. thumb up

Always loved Ross artwork.

On a side note, i haven't heard anything about him in awhile, is he retired?

Galan007
No, he's still very active. He did most of the cover art for Secret Wars, and does a lot of work for Dynamite Comics(among others.)

Sin I AM
I really dont see that with superman unless he's about to cut loose as with the elite scenerio.

Watcher would be a character who people shit their pants when he shows up. Not so much for him but for whats about to happen

Surtur
Yeah but technically that's not a fear of his power levels.

Though if we are counting villains then Plutonian probably deserves a mention.

Sin I AM
Heroes dont generally "strike fear" unless we are talking about like batman or something. I mean superman flies thru metropolis pulling cats out of trees daily. It shouldn't be a big deal...hes not a killer. Now a hero who kills? Those are the ones people fear

Prof. T.C McAbe
Oh shit, he is here? Punisher!

Punisher for sure.

It's not in any order. I just type what came to mind.

Anyway, both Angel and Buffy have sacred Planetary/Universal Beings multiple times. In the TV show and Comics.

Among DC heralds, Superman definitely. In comics or TV, things always shift when he shows up, whether it's that they surrender, or they just flat out get stomped after beating the crap out of the League.

Marvel, it was always the big three for me: Hulk, Thor and Surfer. Shit always calms up when they come in out of the blue.

CosmicComet
Ghost Rider
Spawn
IDW Godzilla (if he counts as a hero).

Where DC's "Trinity"(particularly Superman) are concerned, I always thought this page was very telling:

That's Red Guy. He has the power to turn any object no matter what material or size into the color red.

AlmightyKfish
Some of the time when Silver Surfer has shown up I guess we see this.

Like when he turned up to fight God Cable it's very clear to everyone that the situation has dramatically changed.

Looks like Despero and Sinestro's lovechild, though. thumb up

Not only does Galactus get respect from the Sphinx, he has his so scared that he has to relive his life over, and over again.

Which, in itself is fairly awesome.

That's a good scan.

Wolverine. Daredevil atvm times too. I remember seeing a scan online where a robbercsays he prefes to being uprehended by Daredevil than Spidey, because while Spidey just lightly knocks you out and hands you over, DD breaks all bones and leave you screaming in pain until the cops find you
