Some Garfield feats

Got some feats for Garfield and some powers as well.

Powers:

Light Elasticity (able to stretch his limbs and mouth to inhuman lengths.), Fire Manipulation (With Peruvian Death Pepper, able to breathe fire.), Creation (Able to create the things he dreams about when he wakes up.), Possible Gravity Manipulation (Was able to hang from a tree upside-down with little effort.), Enhanced Senses (Able to sense pizza and other foods from long distances, even being able to identify the toppings of the pizza.)

Extension on Mind Manip: Was able to hypnotize Jon into ordering a pizza for him.

Feats:

Casually knocked down a door from it's hinges.

Was able to suck an entire roast chicken through a straw.

Ran through his cat door at an incredibly high speed, implying to have killed the mailman though sheer force.

Somehow yanked Odie's tongue out by pulling his tail. (Didn't know where to put this, so I put it here.)

One of his burps was able to rip the front door off it's hinges, roll up presumably cement flooring as if it were a carpet and sent both Jon and Odie flying.

Able to change channels on a TV so fast, it destroyed it since it couldn't keep up.

Did this.

Should we edit Lasagna Boi once again?
 
It looks good to me except the fire manip. He doesn't normally have Peruvian Death Peppers on him so he likely can't do that normally.
 
The gravity manip is also pretty shaky. The picture could just be upside-down, or better yet, he's just strong enough to hold himself up like that.
 
"You can't have the lasagna, Garfield."

"Oh, yeah?"

Garfield kicks, but Jon backflips to dodge it, defying the laws of physics
 
This one is an outlier. Additionally, it cannot actually be proven that a continent was sunk, just that a room was flooded.

This guy doesn't die. He shows up in other comics as a reoccurring character. The comment is a joke. I doubt he's even knocked out, because toon physics durability, but that can't be proven either way.

The feat of manifesting things from his dreams is likely an outlier, guys. Gag feats are not necessarily consistent with a character's actual abilities. If you can produce other examples of this happening, then it's not an outlier, but given how he doesn't simply manifest lasagna whenever he's hungry, I'm thinking this is not actually something he can do outside of a gag.

Sorry, but I gotta stick to my principles when it comes to wank, guys.

Anyone else got an opinion on the Fire Manip and Gravity Manip not being legit either?

Okay, guys? The general rule of thumb for comedy toon characters is that if the power isn't demonstrated multiple times, it's a one-off gag feat and thus an outlier.

That honestly just keeps the wank down. Otherwise we'd have a godlike Garfield which is nothing like the original is actually portrayed. We are going for accuracy here, after all.
 
Well the problem with those isn't that they're outliers, it's that the fire manip relies on an object he doesn't normally have and the gravity manip is not at all clear that he's manipulating gravity.

Then wouldn't most of his abilities be outliers?

That is the fate of one-off gag feats in general—consistency is sacrificed for a discardable joke. Just because one time in a comic Garfield ate the planet (I'm not saying he did, this is an example) does not make him planet level, because that would be a huge outlier to everything else we see of Garfield.

Basically, just ask yourself "does this fit with what Garfield regularly does?"
 
No, just because he doesn't use them often doesn't mean they are outliers. That's not how outliers work. Them not using it repeatedly does not contradict them having it. Go look at the bugs bunny profile, just cuz a gag character only uses an ability once does not mean they do not have it. They are not "outliers"

So Regenerationn (At least High-Mid. Regenerated from an explosion that blew him up), Telepathy (Could read people's minds), Mind Manipulation (Can manipulate other's thoughts), Transformation (During Halloween, Garfield transformed into a Mr. Hyde version of himself), Dream Manipulation (Can make his own Nightmare Monsters haunt other people), Duplication, Time Stop (Can freeze time within the click of a button on the Time Watch) then?

No, his one off powers are still legit
 
The death pepper is just incredibly specific, not an outlier. Same with the gravity. They are just incredibly limited, but that does not mean he does not have them, just that he doesn't walk around with a pepper and hanging upside down isn't exactly a useful ability
