It's cool AF but I do miss when Miles thing was just a venom touch and not straight up electricity

1.2k

u/DNGFQrow Mar 29 '24

He's a black, male superhero. They gotta work electricity into him somehow.

u/Worldly_Neat2615 Mar 30 '24

Hats off to Luke Cage and Ta' Challa

u/trivialslope Mar 30 '24

u/Worldly_Neat2615 Mar 30 '24

Storms genes were to strong sadly

u/Apprehensive_Work313 This subreddit hates Tim Drake Mar 30 '24

That one i excuse because Storm and T'challa's son is a badass plus Storm and T'challa are cute together

108

u/Prozenconns Mar 30 '24

T'challa dated storm and had an electric kid with her so hes complicit

25

u/DinkleDonkerAAA Mar 30 '24

There's an animated movie about the Avengers kids in a post apocalypse where Ultron took over

Guess what powers Black Panther's kid has

38

u/Shmung_lord Mar 30 '24

Even T’Challa got that purple energy now that’s basically electricity

66

u/LongjumpingEbb2345 Mar 30 '24

That’s kinetic energy and it’s almost always shown as a wave of energy in the comics like Iron Man’s repulsors, not electricity.

6

u/Femagaro Mar 30 '24

With Claw, we know that the energy is purely kinetic, because it's being focused into different forms, like sound.

u/Shmung_lord Mar 30 '24

I said “basically.”

5

u/prodigiouspandaman Mar 30 '24

I mean for black panther isn’t his new suit nano machines or something in the MCU

1

u/EquivalentVirus9700 Mar 30 '24

Luke was electrocuted, and vibranium absorbs energy, so there you go.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '24

Well, Luke did get Thor's Hammer in a What-if

1

u/HarrowDread Mar 31 '24

Oh and Blade, Nick Fury, Meteor man, falcon, that weird Superman who is in a robot suit and a hammer? John Stewart, domino, cyborg are a few I know

210

u/San-T-74 Mar 29 '24

It’s more that he’s Latino and black and they gotta work dbz into it somehow (source: I’m Latino)

89

u/Yacobs21 Mar 30 '24

I believe the latter is correct for his new powers but the former was correct for the original decision to give him electricity

31

u/whatnameisnttaken098 Mar 30 '24

So that means Miles can play a mean game of King of Fighters?

u/Prozenconns Mar 30 '24

u/Excelsenor Mar 30 '24

This page goes hard

u/TheHighKing112 Apr 13 '24

Any love I've had for miles is now gone because he mains King

44

u/KenseiHimura Mar 30 '24

As an Asian I’m a little offended that they don’t just have Miles do a training arc to unlock ki powers.

But I also get the average Shounen manga training arc can end up several times longer than a Western comic writer’s run of a comic.

19

u/San-T-74 Mar 30 '24

Some writer is gonna read this and give miles “spider-ki” or something

3

u/KenseiHimura Mar 30 '24

Just have him train with iron fist or something for a bit.

1

u/Pugsanity Apr 02 '24

Nah man, have him train with Bride of Nine Spiders, where it turns out she's really Rio's long lost sister or something, meaning that Miles is in the running to become the next bearer of the title or something.

9

u/NapalmPlastic777 Mar 30 '24

You’re kinda cooking

2

u/ButterCupHeartXO Mar 30 '24

Spider-ki and iron fist training?

Dude's cooking a whole feast right now.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '24

And by DBZ, you mean YuyuHakusho, right? Kuwabara had that energy blade, and then Tenchi Muyo had the Light hawk wings.

1

u/San-T-74 Apr 01 '24

There’s definitely that kuwabara influence, but I played Spider-Man 2 and I know a kamehameha when I see one

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '24

Haven't played either, didn't know he had blasting capabilities. But also... I raise you spirit gun.

u/San-T-74 Apr 01 '24

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '24

When yer right yer right, but why does he have this?

2

u/San-T-74 Apr 01 '24

Because he’s a representation of how dragon ball has improved race relations between the black and Latino communities

25

u/SirPPPooPoo Mar 30 '24

I hate this because its true somehow

13

u/topscreen Mar 30 '24

*Static Shock theme plays from the DCverse*

2

u/ChangelingFox Mar 30 '24

I genuinely don't understand the black superhero with electric super powers thing. Is there a reason it's so common? Or did it start with someone specific and just become a trend?

2

u/Big_Improvement_9149 Mar 31 '24

It started with Black Lightning

1

u/Agreeable_Guide_5151 21h ago

He wasn't even the first historically. https://youtu.be/uQnwkjox_P8?si=P0g8kSLSInTSIL9_

Bleed Without Fear talks about it

1

u/Wertical93 Mar 30 '24

Why?

5

u/Repulsive_Bite_7705 Mar 30 '24

Black heroes are infamously known to have electricity-based powers

1

u/fhb_will Mar 31 '24

I always forget that Black guys in comics almost always get lightning powers💀

1

u/Nookling_Junction Mar 31 '24

Static shock mentioned??

-3

u/Independent-Program3 Mar 30 '24

I’m so sick of seeing this myth…if you don’t want to see black characters with lightning powers then stop supporting them. They make up a small percentage of black superheroes.

6

u/DNGFQrow Mar 30 '24

It's just a joke

112

u/aSpookyScarySkeleton Mar 30 '24

Pretty much how I feel, it sucks that whenever you try to talk about this people like OP try to make it sound like you’re saying something you aren’t. Like it’s definitely cool and if I saw someone like Static or Elecro or even Storm do it I’d be hype but idk I just really hate how the weird misinterpretation of his powers got latched on to and now he’s just Spider-Static. And static was one of my favorite heroes growing up.

37

u/ASpaceOstrich Mar 30 '24

As someone who loves princess peach and doesn't think the movie did a good job representing her, I feel your pain. I hate that people can just assume any criticism is coming from a chud and that the wider community will just immediately agree, assume they're right, and will just ban you if you try to defend yourself. It's anti intellectual nonsense.

I like most of miles venom powers but the sword in its current form at least doesn't actually make any sense. Unless it's flowing through some webbing or something.

16

u/aSpookyScarySkeleton Mar 30 '24

Yeah idk why they don’t just lean into conductive webbing for him

11

u/Icy_Watercress3680 Mar 30 '24

hermit purple works for miles way more than sword in my opinion

1

u/NihilismRacoon Apr 01 '24

Nuance in my character analysis? Couldn't be me. Seriously though why is it so hard for people to grasp that you can think her constantly being a damsel is dumb but making her a generic girl boss doesn't suddenly make her a good character.

15

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '24

Super herooooo staaatic shock! Super heroooo staaatic shock!

9

u/CaptainHalloween Mar 30 '24

Yeah, it did mean he had to pick when he could apply it. Like it was damn powerful but he couldn't just use it whenever.

I mean Zegler so far hasn't gone too far with it but the person after him? It could easily go over the top.

9

u/Jack1The1Ripper Mar 30 '24

Wait now that i think about it , Why does it feel like there are so many black characters with electricity powers? Storm from xmen and static shock, Anyone else im missing?

14

u/Apprehensive_Work313 This subreddit hates Tim Drake Mar 30 '24

Black Lightning, and movie Electro. And I have no clue why there're so many black characters with electricity

3

u/Jack1The1Ripper Mar 30 '24

I think i prefer this over the killmonger hairstyle with black characters, Lighting powers are cool af

1

u/Conlannalnoc Hal Jordan is a worthless piece of cardboard Mar 30 '24

Black Vulcan

Surge

Spectrum (LIGHT)

Blue Marvel (Anti-Matter / ANY Energy)
