He can change shape into anything he wants (including growing and shrinking) and he's indestructible.

To add to that, he's functionally immortal, immune to telepathy, and can give himself super strength whenever he wants. He has literally been torn apart into the equivalent of crumbs, spread out across the ocean floor, and been left there for 3000 years to rot.

He was physically unharmed.

Mentally is another story, of course, but still.

:laffo: this is exactly the kind of poo poo that you explain to your friend who doesn't read American printed cartoons and they think you're just making them up. Kind of like how if you explain any plot point in Metal Gear games to a normal person.

Garfield's right about raisins, though.

My theory is that raisins are a joke some dad played on his kids, and then he died without telling them it was a joke, and thus they spent their entire lives thinking raisins were actually food and taught it to THEIR children.

I got back into wrestling last year with Orange Cassidy and then AEW. Was it always this dorky and I just didn't notice it in the 90s and early 00s? I definitely don't remember aliens from Andromeda and magical school girls and commentators making Star Trek references when Sting was using a bat to beat up the NWA.

one of the biggest wrestlers of the entire 90s was a necromancer controlled via phylactery who couldn't feel pain because he was also undead.
of the nwo, sting was a surfer who was betrayed by his friends so he started dressing in all black and hanging out in the rafters to be like the crow because he couldn't trust anybody anymore, and scott hall put on a fake cuban accent to pretend to be scarface.
there were aliens and mutant turtles and witch doctors, and a few times robocop was there.

wait why did i forget about the dungeon of doom, a campy group dedicated to ruining hulk hogan that succeeded in turning him evil by shaving his moustache directly leading into him joining the nwo but not before rolling through their cast of characters including a man who could only say yes or no, a yeti, and the son of andre the giant who then had a wrestling match with hogan in matching monster trucks on a rooftop.

One of the greatest wrestling matches of all time was when the necromantic lich fought a lunatic who lived in a boiler room, and nearly killed him by throwing him thirteen-odd feet through a chain link fence panel

E: also wrestling in the WWF around when the necromantic lich was introduced:

When I saw that manga page I thought I saw Kenny Omega’s name for a second.

Wrestlers these days are especially dorky because they grew up on the same nerd stuff as we did, and they’re just more well adjusted than the old crop of washed up bouncers and football players. AEW isn’t run by a 75 year old psychopath, so they get to just be a fun wrestling company.
