This reminds me of a superhero origin where a guy was bitten by a radioactive scorpion, gaining the powers of a scorpion... Which he IGNORED, instead downloading rocket schematics from the internet and becoming Rocketman. He was a minor side character so it never said what specific scorpion powers he had, but I think it implied that he only used the _durability_ he gained from his scorpion powerset, basically acting like a lite version of Superman. Rockets on his ankles for flight, rockets on his wrists for his signature "Rocketpunch!", etc.
@AlexDown1
7 ай бұрын
lmao I looked into it but this is the only Rocketman I could find, equally funny, I'll paste his bio Origin: When Martin’s fiancée is kidnapped, he uses his new invention, a rocket-propelled flight uniform to rescue her as Rocketman. It happens that his fiancée had her uniform under her clothes when she was kidnapped, so she’s able to make her debut as Rocketgirl as soon as she’s freed from her bonds. Powers: Rocket-propelled flight, though in the first story the rocket is inexplicably called a helicopter. Costume: Both wear yellow and orange costumes and masks, with rockets attached to their backs. Modus Operandi: Despite their scifi-sounding names, Rocketman and Rocketgirl devoted themselves to undoing the schemes of earthbound criminals and madmen. Friends and Allies: Rocketgirl. Secretly Doris Dalton, Martin’s fiancée, also a scientist and Martin’s inseparable companion and teammate. Rocketboy. AKA Billy Woods. Rocketman and Rocketgirl send Billy a jetpack and costume through the mail to assist the boy in a local struggle against a gangster named Black Pete. Thereafter, Billy is seen on his own, sporting a distinctive uniform that still conforms to the red and orange color scheme of his benefactors. Notable Adversaries: Bucktooth Benson. Benson is a machine gun toting gangster with two protruding front teeth, hence his nickname. His right eye is also in a permanent squint. Bucktooth is a womanizer, despite his appearance. He and Doris Dalton share a rare blood type, making his capture essential for an injured Rocketgirl to survive a life-threatening injury. Hello Pal 1 (1943). Doc Watson. This deranged head of a sanitarium actually has green skin and a skull-like visage as do his followers. He has developed a serum that can drive men insane. Scoop 2 (1942). Dr. Martin Keats. Another deranged physician whose experiments with radioactive isotopes has lead to him and his gang of assistants having a bald, cadaverous appearance. The Purple Peril. The Peril wears a form-fitting white hood that follows the contours of his head. Actually a business executive named Phil Draper, the Peril injects a colorless dye into his rivals’ shaving lotion to turn their face and hands purple upon their deaths. Punch 18 (1946). Scarbo. Hunchbacked dwarf and former circus freak specializes in murders for hire that leave no fingerprints or clues. A former circus freak, it emerges that Scarbo uses a trained python to strangle the life out of his victims.

I have got a villain origin story idea: when he was 4 years old, he got lost in a supermarket for a few seconds while shopping with his mom and paniced. that was the day where he realized that super markets are evil so he needs to destroy them all, and also kill everyone iin the world just so they will not built any more of those. he gained his powers at the age of 25 after falling from the stairs.

I didn’t know that Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were roommates back in the surface world. I always thought that Mermaid Man was a parody of Aqua Man and Barnacle Boy was a a teenage when Mermaid Man took him under his wing as his sidekick. And I thought they were merfolk anyway due to their ability to breath underwater. I didn’t know that they went through this overly complicated procedure to become super heroes.

Actually, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy does mentioned about their actual origins at the same episode. However, because of their eldery age and beefing each other they were not happy about remember back especially when involved with respected or getting attention. Until the in-universe show (this video) shows on TV which is just an in-universe made up origins of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and both of them see that. Then Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy apologized each other but because of their scatterbrained age they believe the entire "overtimed microwaved popcorn give you power" thing when Spongebob and Patrick attempted to becoming superhero.
