Arnold Schwarzenegger Characters Profiles (Part 2: Jack Slater)

Ser_Hakim_Dayne said:

The previous part was about John Matrix, the protagonist of the cult action film "Commando", now it's Jack Slater's turn, the deuteragonist from the underrated fantasy/action/comedy movie "Last Action Hero".

Jack Slater has no page, here is a sandbox of what I propose:

Ser Hakim Dayne/Sandbox

vsbattles.fandom.com

As a bonus, I also made a sandbox for Mr Benedict, the main antagonist of Last Action Hero:

Ser Hakim Dayne/Sandbox2

vsbattles.fandom.com

Important Notes:
Compared to other action movies, the inconsistencies/PIS/plot armor we see in those movies are real abilities in Last Action Hero (which is a parody/satire of action movies and a metafiction), so that's why there are RW/Luck related abilities in the profiles.

Another important thing, Slater and Benedict may have Acausality and Resistance to Plot Manipulation, so I'd like to know if that's the case or not. I explain everything here.

• Supernatural Luck and Probability Manipulation (Passive: Jack Slater's action hero nature allows him to never lose[1] and die[1] until the grosses go down, making improbable events occur to help him. Got involved in crazy adventures and always survived[1]. Jack and his clothes were completely unharmed[1] after being in the center of an explosion that destroyed a large house, despite the fact that the shockwave from a less powerful explosion wounded[1] him before. Was targeted by several people armed with guns and was not hit once[1] despite having no cover. Was saved in extremis[1] by Whiskers, who arrived at the right place at the right time even though he hadn't even come here with Slater to begin with. Whitney came[1] to Slater with clean clothes, despite the fact that there was no way for her to know that he was going to need it.)

If you mean the second one, I classified it as a luck/probability feat:

• Supernatural Luck and Probability Manipulation (Passive: Jack Slater's action hero nature allows him to never lose[1] and die[1] until the grosses go down, making improbable events occur to help him. Got involved in crazy adventures and always survived[1]. Jack and his clothes were completely unharmed[1] after being in the center of an explosion that destroyed a large house, despite the fact that the shockwave from a less powerful explosion wounded[1] him before.

I'm iffy on quite a few powers and abilities

DarkDragonMedeus said:

I am iffy on assuming Supernatural Luck/Probability manipulation.

DarkDragonMedeus said:

I am also not sure how that is reality warping; law manipulation, physics manipulation.

DarkDragonMedeus said:

Also, I don't think being a fictional character within a fictional universe grants AE type 2.

My mind mirrors Medeus here, most of the physical stats are fine, but most of those P&As are pretty sus to me. But I'll explain them in another time period, as I'm too tired

I can’t find a clip but in the scene where Jack’s house blows up, he was very clearly still on top of the explosion

• Reality Warping, Law Manipulation and Physics Manipulation (Passive: Jack Slater's action hero nature allows him to bend the laws of physics and natural logic, making nonsensical and illogical events occur during action scenes. A dynamite that was shot multiple times by Jack Slater recoiled[1] instead of exploding. Can drive[1] a car without using the steering wheel and pedals during a chase. A shot[1] from Slater threw sideways a thug into an ice cream truck, causing it to explode and resulting in an ice cream being threw away at another thug, killing him instantly. A car chasing Slater exploded[1] after a botched stunt, and another burst into flames[1] in mid-air. A shot from Slater with a revolver threw[1] a thug a few meters away. Easily and quickly removed tar[1] completely from his skin, which normally takes several minutes to do. Guns used by Slater have bottomless magazines[1].)
  • All of this can be accomplished through Physics Manipulation.
• Supernatural Luck and Probability Manipulation (Passive: Jack Slater's action hero nature allows him to never lose[1] and die[1] until the grosses go down, making improbable events occur to help him. Got involved in crazy adventures and always survived[1]. Jack and his clothes were completely unharmed[1] after being in the center of an explosion that destroyed a large house, despite the fact that the shockwave from a less powerful explosion wounded[1] him before. Was targeted by several people armed with guns and was not hit once[1] despite having no cover. Was saved in extremis[1] by Whiskers, who arrived at the right place at the right time even though he hadn't even come here with Slater to begin with. Whitney came[1] to Slater with clean clothes, despite the fact that there was no way for her to know that he was going to need it.)
  • This can all just be Supernatural Luck.
• Abstract Existence (Type 2: Jack Slater is a fictional[1] movie character.)
  • Doesn't count as AE.

Even for bottomless magazines?

Ser_Hakim_Dayne said:

And what about that?

ActuallySpaceMan42 said:

Yeah, having a bottomless magazine defies physics. Physics Manipulation.

ActuallySpaceMan42 said:

I don't think so. It just shows that the Movies and the Real World are self-contained. Characters leaving their movies don't affect the movie worlds themself. As for the Plot Manipulation, also no, it's just a consequence of being real.

ActuallySpaceMan42 said:

It is but there are only two versions of them. The one in the movies, and the one in real life. If the one in real life dies, there is no other ones in real life. It's not combat-applicable, and doesn't stop anyone from controlling the past of the one in real life, or in the movie, it's just they're isolated from one another.
