Isn't the Blob's power actually gravity control, and he's just really stupid?

Source may be one of those terrible Generation-X novels from the 90s (one of the times Synch was thinking about other people's powers or something)? Either that, or my brain is playing tricks on me.

Yea, he can control gravity so he can make himself completely unmovable, or move like a speed runner. There was an issue of X-Factor where he fights Strong Guy and SG mentions that watching the Blob run is like watching the ballerina hippos in Fantasia.

Someday I'll find the X-writer who decided to make every stupid power secretly an AMAZING MOLECULAR POWER that the user was too dumb to use properly, and I will end them.
I'm actually okay with this because it makes the X-gene actually make some tiny amount of sense instead of it giving laser eyes to one guy, reality altering to another, and a third is a chickenman.

...Look some people have strange definition of "badass" alright? That's what my time on the internet has taught me. I remember people on Another Message Board posting pictures of people in a boyband anime singing in pitch as an example of badassness.
They thought it was badass, I thought that they should hand over their right to use the word badass on the internet. Everyone is, like, different, man.

Suzi & Jon (the one with glasses and a two-sided attack dildo) were caught using their time-freezing sex powers by an organization that tracked, threatened, and attacked them. After a depressive streak, Jon works up the nerve to freeze time and raid his oppressor's house at night when a guard shows up, the same guard who hit Jon in their first encounter.

tl;dr Jon is a dweeb who takes a stand, counts as badass to me

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
Seriously why are you people not reading Sex Criminals already. It's incredibly funny and only very mildly pornographic.

A guy subdued the lizard by simply staring at him.

It's badass as hell, but yeah, posting a link to every new chapter is overdoing it.

I'm pretty sure someone said, probably jokingly, 'You should just post every time One Punch Man updates' because new panels (a couple times large sequences) were being posted somewhat frequently. Apparently someone took that to heart.

It's Thor: God of Thunder. It's still going, the Galactus fight ended in the latest issue.

It's the one that will have girl Thor next month. The next issue isn't until September 17th, presumably because Original Sin has to finish first.

That's so lame. Is every character on the roster going to no-sell the penance stare through technicalities? It's supposed to make you feel the weight of your sins, you're not supposed to be able to wiggle out of it due to your mindset.

Look dude Frank is squeezing out a monster log from the expression on his face, he doesn't have time to dwell on the weight of sins when he's dwelling on the weight of poo poo.

Galactus does what he does out of necessity, not because he wants to. Punisher wants to kill, he likes doing it. Plus as you said he does get knocked down afterwards.

I thought the penance stare made you feel the pain/anguish you've caused innocents, though. How many innocents has Frank actually killed?

At least a couple over the years. You don't go around spraying autos and semi-autos without picking at least one "oopsie" daisy.

Would pain and anguish count as pain and anguish of any of the children/spouses/relatives of anyone he's killed? Cause if so.....

This is actually a call-back. Ghost-rider penance-stared him at some point (I think in the late 90's) with exactly the same effect.

Realistically, yes, this would be the case but I believe in Marvel canon he's been successful in never killing an innocent.

I may be recalling wrong, but there was a MAX story-line where the villain managed to convince Frank and an entire small town that Frank had killed an innocent. I'm pretty sure Frank was on the verge of suicide before he found out he was tricked.
