I’m back! With another question :D
How does the gang use their individual powers to fight? I understand they all have abilities, but is there any certain ways they’ve come up with that benefit themselves the best in a fight?
Ooh I love this question! (Also ur reaction pic for this rlly fit the vibe).
-Darry:a lot of his fighting would be hand to hand combat (since he is a size shifter and has super strength bc of it), so I think most of the time he’ll just kinda grow and crush them, or use his super strength on them.
-Johnny: Johnny casts his shadow out to disorient the enemy, making them think he is in a different location to where he actually is. Since Johnny doesn’t actually have powers that are physically helpful in a combat scenario, he carries weapons with him so he is armed and can fight while his shadow is distracting his opponent.
-dally: dally uses his flames to burn opponents, or create a wall of fire to block exits and/or buy the team some time. Since he can turn his whole body into flame, I imagine he can also fly because heat rises. (Kinda ripped off his powers from the ‘Human Torch’ in the fantastic four, oopsies)
-Ponyboy: Ponyboy could either use his telekinesis to create a distraction (moving things far away to make noises and distract his opponent), or he could use it to lift objects and throw them or crush his opponent with them
-Steve: uses his powers to bend metal to create basically a cage around his opponent, effectively blocking them in so the team can surround them. He also uses his powers to warp metal and create weapons out of whatever is around him. If he focuses really hard he can manipulate the metal in people’s blood, thus controlling his opponent’s body. He can also control magnetic forces, so if he needs to use hand-to-hand combat he can create armor out of whatever is around him that is metal
Sodapop: since soda doesn’t like using his powers since he doesn’t like controlling people or reading their minds, he uses weapons (like Johnny). That’s why in his design I drew him with a pistol and gloves. He avoids hand-on-hand combat and mostly focuses on weapons you can use from farther away
Two-bit: two-bit uses his shapeshifting as a way of fighting (basically think beast-boy from teen titans, and that’s what two-bits fighting style is like).
Hope this answered your question lol!
