Marvel: Key Removals 2

[The_Impress]

• Gambit (Full Potential): Three issue total key, needless.
• Annihilus (With the Hulk's powers): Fairly minor as well

This seems fine to remove to me.

 

[InfiniteDay]

Sure, why not.

What do you think about this?

 

[Tllmbrg]

Annihilus seems fine
Gambit I'm iffy since it sounds important in the sense that it basically goes "Okay here's how strong he'd be without X limiting him" so might be worth keeping due to it being a hard limit for what ever his regular Key can do

 

[Confluctor]

About Gambit, why don't we just merge it with his first key. "4-B at full potential (or peak)". Something like that

I think this works.

And removing Annihilus’ third key entirely is fine to me.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out.

 

[Eficiente]

I agree with those other comments.

 

[The_Impress]

I disagree with keeping the Gambit feat, the "Full Potential" is surgically restricted for him, it's just straight up not accessible, it's not as simple as the name suggests

 

[Antvasima]

I am inclined to agree with Impress.

 

[Eficiente]

Still, if it comes from himself he should have it, of we hypothetically put him in a match where he's teamed up with a Biological Manip who can trigger that in him then knowing how strong he is would be useful, or maybe it's a Reality Warper, or maybe he fights someone with that who uses it on foes to put them at their best to defeat them like that.

We just have to write somewhere that it's surgically restricted to let people know he can't just use it normally.

 

[Confluctor]

Yeah we can mention that in notes section because it seems rather important for the character's statistics

 

[The_Impress]

...this sounds too much like a hyperspecific scenario.

 

[Firestorm808]

Seems okay.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, I personally don't want every brief temporary power-up to be mentioned in the comics profile pages, given the long histories of the franchises.

 

[Confluctor]

It's not a power up though, from my understanding. If it's not contradicted by anything else, then I don't see why we need to remove it.

 

[The_Impress]

It may as well be a power up given that he can't logically access it.

We don't list any superheroes before they got their powers, or list Xavier when he wasn't crippled, why are we randomly making an exception here? Only reason I can even think, is that it gets him to 4-B

 

[LordTracer]

Tbh the scaling of that key is extremely wonky. 4-B for killing Jean Grey Phoenix, who is most definitely not a 4-B. And it was an alternate universe version of Jean Phoenix, who afaik has no reason to scale to 616 Jean Phoenix.

I agree with nuking the key entirely.

 

[Confluctor]

If that's his only feat thing, then sure yeet it away to the 9th circle of hell.

Been a long time since I read it, but I assumed he had other legit feats. If not, end it

 

[Antvasima]

I also agree with Impress. Thank you for helping out.

 

[The_Impress]

Can I apply this then?

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. That should be fine.

 

[The_Impress]

Applied and closing
