All I know is, when I offered an open BZ of Batman with full prep and full knowledge of his opponent (so a lowly lowly street) and access to anything he can get his hands on, nobody wanted to take me up on it
I wanted to see where he would stop. I think I had Black Panther as well, so BP and Batman, both with full prep, against two of whoever someone else wanted to choose.
The main stip being that it was one-sided prep, and the point I wanted to try out was, where would my opponent stop - Low herald? Would they draft two HHs? Two trans? Abstracts? Just to deal with two guys?
Firestorm has such an asspull power set that DC doesn't know what to do with him comfortably without overshadowing the mascots.
DC has this extreme need to make their characters the more powerful than any other but dont understand that most of the time that translate to boring stories
he literally has the power to change anything to anything, that in itself sounds like the epitome of asspullery. His only actual limits have been morality and lack of knowledge on one of his controlling halves.
it's literally full of asspull storytelling potential. It's the reason he has the morality and lack of knowledge limitation along with the ability to be destabilized fairly easily in terms of comic book stories. Without any of that there would be no reason for him to ever lose a fight
