Simple Metro Man additions

[Arceus0x]

Metro man scales above Tighten in every way as Tighten is merely a shitty copy of him.
This means his heat vision should directly scale to cutting through buildings and melting plastic.

To add to this, Metro Man has a resistance to heat because he ate/sucked up fire. Thing is, that isn't just a resistance, it is Air Manipulation and limited Absorption.

I also honestly believe that Tighten and Metro Man should have a Possible resistance to Megamind's De-Gun abilities, specifically:

• Empathic Manipulation/Morality Manipulation (Although not explicitly demonstrated, his De-Gun had a setting titled Demoralize)
• Transmutation (With the De-Gun. Can "dehydrate" people and objects into cubes, which he can later revert into the things they once were by applying water to them)
• Deconstruction, Gravity Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Paralysis and Status Effect Inducement (The De-Gun had a "De-sintegrator", "De-gravity" and "De-ep freeze" functions. Can also use it to paralyse people and make them lose their balance. The De-celerator can slow a person’s fall)

Why? Putting it simply, Megamind never even tried using it to take them down. He specifically needed the Defuser Gun to deal with Tighten despite having full and constant access to the Dehydration gun and then there's the fact that he never once used it on Metro Man, who he has been fighting for over a decade, the de-gun being one of the first inventions he ever made. With Metro Man one could've try to say that maybe he wasn't using it because it wouldn't be part of the fun but not only has Megamind consistently used deadly weaponry against Metro Man, he NEEDED a way to take down Tighten and he straight up couldn't think of anything BUT the defuser gun, meaning that even the de-gun, which he actively used throughout the film, would've failed him.

That's about it.

How can you disprove that Megamind never using it could be simply because they are fast enough to dodge it consistently? Especially Metro Man

Edit: I can see a possibly rating though, so I am not fully disagreeing

Megamind needed a whole ass complex plan to trick Tighten to stay still to shove the defuser gun into his mouth and then win. If he could take him out with the de-gun he wouldn't need such a complex plan, especially considering he had the de-gun on hand in that scene and used it on himself.

Did that work?

yes actually

And the the de-gun is definitely faster?

Sorry, I'm not being that helpful.

De-gun you click and it shoots.

Defuser gun he had to shove it up his mouth.

That works better for Tighten, because you can argue Megamind liked being more grandiose in his fights against Metro Man, and opt for demonstrating his intelligence and "show off". Though that doesn't apply to Tighten, I suppose "possibly" isn't bad. However, it could be a case of bad writing.

I thought it was his nose. Oh, well.

Just to clarify to anyone coming here, Megamind literally uses his de-gun to save himself in the scene where he uses the defuser gun to beat Tighten. He had full access to it 100% of the time and didn't use it. I doubt he wouldn't use it on someone who is an existential threat.

Megamind does canonically seem to forget to use his own kit on opponents as shown that he finally remembered to use the dehydration gun on the Doom Syndicate in the show

So him just not using it on Metro Man before is possible

Including the fact we do know the Defuse does work on him it's hard to say he does actually resist the other settings

Everything else seems fine

It's one thing with Metroman but with Tighten he had it in the scene like I showed above. He simply can't have forgotten it.

It just seems too assumptive for a possibly rating when we have reasons to assume otherwise

I mean he was basically holding the gun and used another, there was no reason not to use it if he didn't resist it. To add to this the whole shebang with Doom Syndicate as that is simply a case of shitty writing by a different group of people than the original makers of the film.

Probably too fixated on the nullification.
