Martian Manhunter's archnemesis is Malefic.

@Sisu138 I swear to God! I did not do that. The whole reason I have those accounts is because tech issues that I forgot my password and such. The AFDurbin2 is the one I used at school if I was ahead in something or had a tad bit of free time. But it is Summer now and once again I don't know the password so for now I use AFDurbin1! And if you were right wouldn't it have 3 upvotes, one for each account?! And I don't know why the person who upvotes my post isn't contributing to the argument ugh! Maybe the person doesn't like to talk to people who don't listen!

I forgot about that Superman would have had to train himself for his super speed but that's about it.

Well someone liked my original post so at least someone agrees with me 😎 I can like it right now to prove it wasn't me.

@Leto2073 I said you have to be good person to be a badass not that it was the only requirement!

@MektonZ You would have a great point if you would tell me how Superman learned to control his powers! With The Force from Star Wars it isn't something possible like running real fast but we can see throughout the lore that there are dos and don'ts for using the force and I don't mean using it for good instead of evil. We can see a lot of that in The Empire Strikes Back. How can you learn to do something if you can't name both a right way and a wrong way to do it?! And as for Herakles, they didn't name a story, The Twelve LABORS of Herakles for nothing, labors implying that effort was needed! And as for Thor, he was revered throughout Scandinavia as the reason why thunderstorms happen as a punishment to society so that is another definition of badass.

Yes to me you can only be badass if you are a good person.

@Sisu138 I have all the sources I need!

@Thegreatness05 His motive is sympathetic to me! Not his actions! Having a sympathetic motive is what makes a great villain!

@Thegreatness05 Why does that matter if I don't condone what Lex does? How do you learn how to shoot lasers out of your eyes when it is impossible to do so? Superman gets his powers from the sun. Barry gets his from the Speed Force and every thing he does is an amplified version of what's possible and is explained through more detailed science fiction through the Speed Force and we can see that there is an incorrect way to do things in the The Flash seasons 1-5.

@EchoEmpire You mean TikTok? That was just an extension of my point. Me mentioning it was not that necessary. I don't see why you are calling TikTok an adaptation though. Can you try to give me a more valid reason why my point is BS?

@Leto2073 You're right, it means earning your coolness and being really cool. Being powerful is cool if you use it for good. Superman did not earn his coolness used while fighting villains. That is a big reason why Lex hates him and I don't blame him.

@EchoEmpire What do you mean?

And before y'all say Superman needs willpower for his powers. Let me ask you this: If it is physically impossible for a person to shoot lasers out of their eyes, breath extremely cold air that can freeze things, fly unaided, and see through opaque objects. Where the hell does that effort come from?! Superman is OP and I'm not saying that that is a bad thing because DC has some pretty OP villains, but only when he is matched well, does he need to think about what he needs to do. That is why his archenemy is the smartest person on the planet!

The definition of badass is actually a tough, uncompromising, intimidating person but what's "bad" about someone who doesn't have to put effort into them being cool? IRL people criticize others about that especially on TikTok.

Superman learning his powers was easy. His body used them at random times so all he had to do was stop that from happening. After that all he had to do was think about doing something and he does it. Except for his super-strength mostly and starting to fly from the ground. The

Flash LEARNED how to

Stop abruptly after going fast. Real life tennis players struggle with that.

Phase through solid objects

Hurl lightning bolts

Use the Speed Force to travel through time

On top of all that he needed to know how to process and think the speed of his actions to know how to actually make a difference in minute things to prevent and accident like in the Snyder Cut and incapacitate an enemy.

It takes strategy to use a speedster's powers! Superman just needed to punch really hard in certain areas, fly from place to place, use heat vision in the right place and freeze things. And occasionally see through things.

Badass means making yourself powerful and consistently using the power. It does not mean helping people even though helping people is great.

Superman is not a badass because he does not have his powers because of him. Its the yellow sun.

Batman is a badass because he made himself powerful!

Wonder Woman has super-strength, but I don't think she would be that powerful if she didn't train on Themyscira. Every GL is a badass because because not many other people can operate a Lantern Ring successfully.

The Flash is badass because he had to train to use his powers right.

How would you use the wheels to the Batmobile?!
