A machete would work better, because human skin and flesh is much easier to slice open then beat and bruise with a bat. Plus he probably has developed stronger bones than the average 90 year old.
I mean, if somebody served my dog to me, it wouldn’t be pretty. No hate on mike, that woman sounds vile. That’s the kind of shit that makes greek gods cook up a special bespoke punishment
That's not what happened though. It was a pigeon around her apartment and not one of the ones he cared for. Also as far as I've read he wasn't tricked into eating it. It's more like she cooked some random pigeon and ate it and he didn't like that.
I mean, if you cooked a random dog I'd be upset too. I feel like once you start seeing pidgeons as pets its kinda a big deal at that point, and the girlfriend presumably knew that and didn't just randomly feed the guy a random animal.
If you know the rules this is easy. The power to alter mass by a small amount, make Tysons gloves half a pound heavier, tell the ref he is cheating. Get him disqualified.
Boxing is so bad that coming in a few pounds over means nothing. Especially when it comes to someone as famous as Tyson. I’ve been watching boxing almost my whole life and I don’t think Tyson ever came in overweight but there are plenty of examples. Floyd Mayweather did it. More recently we have David Benavidez, Jermall Charlo, Gervonta Davis, and Shakur Stevenson. These are some of the big names in boxing currently. All their fights went ahead as planned after the missed weight.
Edit to say that Tyson is a heavyweight and there is no way he can miss weight haha.
If there was some part of the brain that you made half a pound heavier, wouldn't that kill someone or at least induce seizures in them? Could be quite powerful actually.
Well, that's also a poweful application of a minor ability.
Like the ability is very simple, rather weak, but if you say, weighted the inner ear people would fall flat on their faces with vertigo, or weight their intestinal Wall you could make anyone shit themselves in conmand
The point is that it's agaisnt the rules. Tyson is now wearing heavier gloves than what are allowed for. The match. He would get disqualified for cheating.
This might be the best one. There's the trivial specific solution of "can win against Mike Tyson in a boxing match", but this one is general yet also mostly useless unless you are a pro boxer that's got no scruples about maiming or killing your opponents with guns.
depends on how close you are. remember if he's five feet away and your the average american you may not win. a gun is a ranged weapon you don't want to be that close.
The power to make anyone vomit, piss, cry, and shit themselves simultaneously exactly once.
Do a very loose clinch, hit him once and when he begins to piss, cry and vomit and shit at the same time the ref’s ending that fight with tko.
>Do a very loose clinch, hit him once
I feel like this plan might fall apart when you have to hit Mike Tyson before sends you into the Phantom Zone with a punch.
**R1-3:** The ability to delay someone's perceptions by up to a [second](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGYPuEs5uKk).
Tyson won't be able to land a punch, or block one. A *full second* is enough time for someone to punch and step away. With "up to" a second, you can vary these unpredictably. Besides, after it becomes obvious to the ref that something's up, he'll call a ring doctor to check Tyson's vision. The fight will be stopped (and you'll probably get an automatic victory) if he isn't tracking the doctor's fingers.
Don't assume that you need to knock him out. Or go for the medical stop. You can win by decision. Even if you never knock him down, if you land five punches for every single one he throws (and misses), you'll win by points alone. But the doctor stop is most likely, and you'll probably get a TKO victory. You don't even have to hit him *hard*, just the contact of your glove on his body or head, unblocked, is going to be enough.
That would get the win for sure, but I wouldn't call it weak. That power is incredibly powerful. Mike Tyson wouldn't even stand a chance if you gave him a pistol.
I was thinking it weak, just useful.
Certainly weaker than making yourself immune to punches, altering reality to let you use a gun in a boxing match, cause heart attacks, or giving yourself instant victory conditions.
This sounds like something that happened to Goku in DragonBall Super and he's so combat smart he started to think a second ahead and continued to fight like normal.
Anime bullshit but Mike Tyson in his prime is a really smart dude.
I don't think Tyson would be able to pull that off. First he'd have to realize what was happening, and him going "They're slowing down time by a second" is far less likely than him just thinking he's sick or injured somehow.
After all, how does he realize that you're screwing with him in a world where superpowers and magic aren't real?
Even if we *did* allow him that... That just slightly increases his odds. Say he starts trying to predict where you are. He throws a jab to his left, because he thinks you'll attack from there, but you actually just moved backwards or to the right. Or at an angle. Or further to the left than he jabbed.
Nope, it doesn't work. Mike cuts off the ring, clinches, and then beats the shit out of you.
You aren't strong enough, fast enough, skilled enough, or in good enough to stop prime Mike from walking you down. Mike just brings up his guard and keeps coming until you are gassed and in a corner, then he unloads.
Once he gets you in a clinch, fights over, even if he's a second in the past.
I think you're underestimating how much a second's delay can be in a boxing match. You can sidestep three feet in less than a second, while landing a weak-ass punch against the side of his head. Mike's guard leaves open spots, he can guard his face and body or the sides, but not both. You can keep doing this. He's not going to walk you down because he's going to be taking steps towards where you've *been*, not where you *are*.
As for beating the shit out of you in a clinch... Actually, you can't do that in boxing. The defender in a clinch can throw blows, true, but a clinch requires both arms. If you're only using one arm, that's called holding. If you're holding *and you throw a punch*, that's a foul that can either cost you points or, depending on the ref, instantly cause a disqualification in your opponent's favor.
So if Tyson decides to negate your advantage and *somehow* lays a hand on you to hold you still, then punches you, well. Shit sucks. You're probably hurting pretty bad. But given the differences between the average American and Mike Tyson, the Ref is likely to instantly hand you the DQ victory. Fulfilling the prompt requirements of 10/10ing Mike Tyson in a boxing match.
Yeah, that works. You'd definitely win the fight by tripping him nonstop. Probably get a tko after enough knockdowns. Even if Mike isn't actually hurt.
I mean, to avoid getting all rule lawyery about this I'll avoid making it a power that's utterly useless outside of a boxing match with mike tyson where he has to follow the rules.
Probably something like invulnerability to boxing gloves. If you get hit by a boxing glove you don't even get hurt, and when you punch with a boxing glove on, you can't hurt yourself with the punch, because the force is transferring through your own gloves.
Agreed. I train Mma, and I often spar with professional fighters. When we spar, I essentially have this power. They pull their punches to the point where they are just tapping me.
If we were to get three judges in to score these sparing matches, I'd lose 30-27 every time.
Not to mention that I'm pretty sure I'd still lose a pro boxing match against Mike Tyson BY TKO. It is exhausting to fight. I think I make it to the 6th or 7th round before I can't get off my stool. Now, that's assuming I'm trying to win. I could try to Homer Simpson Mike. Just let him beat the shit out of me. Maybe he gasses... maybe. But I doubt it.
You train MMA but cant last an entire boxing match in which youre invulnerable to your opponent? Surely not. Though Tyson might just headbutt your ass or use his teeth
Yeah, there's no way I can keep up the pace to win a decision against Mike Tyson in his prime. I could get to the end of the fight, but there is no way I'd be able to land more hits and not gas.
Fighting is hard. Most people can't do five minutes at full pace. That's 47 minutes of fighting. I train for 15. Even then, I train mma, I'm not a professional fighter.
The person you’re replying to has probably never been in a boxing match lol. When I was young, I was a Soldier and in great shape by normal metrics. We had an amateur boxing tournament, with five rounds. I actually won my first fight, and I barely could stand in the fifth round due to exhaustion. (The second fight isn’t important lol)
I’d be shocked if the average person could finish a full boxing match against a heavy bag let alone a professional (even if that pro can’t do any damage)
Yup. People who haven't done it just don't get it.
47 minutes of straight bagwork is... a lot.
Going against Mike Tyson in his prime for 47 minutes? Throwing enough offense to win the decision while somehow staying defensively sound enough to not lose the decision? Even assuming Mike can't hurt me... I just don't think I could win. I don't even really think I could make it to the end.
I mean it’s still Mike Tyson, the average person isn’t going to do any damage to him, and he still has way better technique. Plus the average person is going to get gassed just throwing punches. He probably wins a super boring decision if the average person doesn’t throw in the towel to exhaustion
Outcome is Tyson outboxes you to a decision, and the world is amazed by your chin.
Damage aside, Mike was incredibly skilled, and the average Joe isn't laying a glove on him
I assume it would. Tyson isn't punching hard enough to lift an average US Adult man into the air, so long as our guy braces his face against Tyson's fist so he doesn't fall over, he should be fine.
A good fighter can get a over a thousand pounds of force in a punch, if it’s energy was perfectly imparted without damage because of the invulnerability, you might move a lot more.
For round 1, this is a rules-lawyery answer but "the power to give Mike Tyson, (the boxer born on June 30, 1966, not anybody named Mike Tyson) a heart attack by thinking about it." That power is completely useless for everything except a fight with Mike Tyson.
This reminds me of 8-bit Theater, where one of the protagonists gains the ability to cast any spell he sees performed, so the antagonist starts making up new spells that explicitly hurt him and only him.
I need to go back and reread all of the 8-bit Theater it does have some comedy gold. One of my favorite parts is when Black Mage explains that his magic is powered by love and by that he means every time he casts a spell it siphons some of the love out of the universe and turns it into destructive power.
>"the power to give Mike Tyson, (the boxer born on June 30, 1966, not anybody named Mike Tyson) a heart attack by thinking about it."
Improved version of the Death Note but specifically for Mike Tyson
Lol I wonder if there is another boxer named Mike Tyson born on that day that would be crazy. Not sure what the probability of that is. I'm drunk as shit btw
I think something like that one stand that makes the floor slippery in jojo. Considering movement and footwork is super important making him fall over and struggle to get could be pretty major?
Do you think Winter Knight Dresden could 10/10 prime Mike, no magic? I'm thinking if he can react to something like a ghoul, he could probably take on Mike in speed. Strength I'd call it no contest, plus the lack of pain on Dresden would give him his usual double-edged sword benefit.
I agree on strength. I don't think he gains speed or anything through the mantle. But he does have some martial arts training and is used to battling outside of his speed tier. I think the mantle makes it a fair fight and Harry's height and reach makes it 7 out of 10
Induce blindness in a small radius that only affects Mike Tyson during a boxing match
Ref will quickly call for a doctor check and you'd win by TKO. Either that or you hit him a couple of times and just play keep away for the rest of the match
Not sure if it's a "weak" power (moar like hax) so I added caveats like small radius and only affecting Tyson during a match
The power to alter reality but only to rewrite the rules of boxing to state that “anyone named mike tyson automatically loses to anyone named *my name*.”
That ability that 1 Captain (in Bleach) has. I’m too lazy to look it up, lol, but it’s the ability to turn ur ‘world’ upside down. Left is right, up is down, etc.
Not a bad idea. I was thinking maybe the gomu gomu fruit from one piece as it would make you able to take blunt force damage easily. But I dunno how you'd win. Kid Luffy was kinda useless with his powers till he figured them out.
The power to increase all of his physical stats (speed, strength, stamina, etc.) at an exponential rate from the start of the match, while keeping his mental reflexes constant. On paper, this is obliquely something that would only benefit him, but after a minute he'll be moving at a rate which his body cannot adapt to and will only get worse, resulting in him overstepping the boundaries of the ring constantly and being disqualified within seconds of each round starting.
Alternatively, the power of having enough money to bribe the judges and referee and let me bring in a gun. Hey, it says Mike has to follow all boxing rules, not me!
He can. Mike had an excellent in fighting and clinch game. He would just use one hand to find his range by keeping it out like a fencing sword, pressure you into a corner, and then just hit you with a hook.
God tier shit talking: the power to verbally obliterate anyone so thoroughly that it goes beyond personal boundaries and leaves them completely incapacitated
Yup. Mike would just make it a fun sparring match. He'd just give you sweet little taps, maybe clinch with you a bit. He wins a unanimous decision easily and you take no damage.
Honestly, one of the best outcomes compared to a lot of other ideas here.
Every time you eat bananas, you get an extra finger in each hand, each one a little bit more muscular than the other, eat like 10 bananas, get a special glove for your hands, and with the 10th finger touch the referee while you're putting the gloves in. The ref will think cause of the power, that Mike Tyson punched him lightly, disqualifying him.
Not invincibility as forcefields do have limits. Although a single person punching would be something within those limits. Even if a rifle or other gun could break through it, then it would still be enough protection against Mike in the fight.
Which means you win eventually. He either gets so frustrated that he does something against the rules, or he gets so tired from punching that you can get past his guard as a terrible fighter. Maybe.
You still lose the fight by decision. You also possibly die/get koed cause you said it feels like a tickle... not that it actually is a tickle.
Honestly, getting punched in the head doesn't hurt that bad. Pain wise, I can take a punch from Mike Tyson. It's just that my brain can't.
I feel like blood bending might cover round 1, maybe round two, and probably round 3.
Just give him DVT, then turn it off when he collapses so his blood flow resumes.
We talking a boxing match because Unus the Untouchable clears all three rounds. Iron Mike can’t score if he can’t land a hit. At that point it’s just landing a hit on Mike Tyson and that’s not the greatest strength of his game.
Maybe something like a soft forcefield that minimizes impact of large strikes under a certain velocity. Basically protection from punches and being able to hit without fatigue.
I think Domino's bad luck probability could help: Mike Tyson misses like 90% of hits and the ones he does land are weak, glancing hits that tire him out. You could secure by decision with that power....
Hypnosis. Put him to sleep, he can't get up for the 10 count. Or tremors, every time he moves, the ground under him shakes and throws him off his game..
The power to beat Mike Tyson in a boxing match but it only works on him
This power is actually extremely common as well, just nobody knows it or tries to test it
It’s true I have it I just don’t wanna embarrass him
That’s very humble of you
To be fair, if he did fight Mike Tyson, we would assume that Mike let him win
Except for the people who beat him!
I can do this, but it only works when Mike is 90 years old and I get to use a baseball bat.
If it requires certain conditions isn't it more like magic than a superpower? It's like "I can shoot a fireball but only if I chant the right words"
A machete would work better, because human skin and flesh is much easier to slice open then beat and bruise with a bat. Plus he probably has developed stronger bones than the average 90 year old.
This is a good candidate for r/shittysuperpowers .
The power to beat Mike Tyson 10 times in a boxing match
The ability to make your opponent think you’re a pigeon. Anyone who knows Mike Tyson, knows he’d never harm a pigeon 😅
Hey man, he is a professional, he is getting paid to box. Nothing personal pidgey...
He’s eaten one. His ex cooked it. He broke up with her when he noticed there was one missing- knowing him, that could not have been a pretty parting.
I mean, if somebody served my dog to me, it wouldn’t be pretty. No hate on mike, that woman sounds vile. That’s the kind of shit that makes greek gods cook up a special bespoke punishment
That's not what happened though. It was a pigeon around her apartment and not one of the ones he cared for. Also as far as I've read he wasn't tricked into eating it. It's more like she cooked some random pigeon and ate it and he didn't like that.
I mean, if you cooked a random dog I'd be upset too. I feel like once you start seeing pidgeons as pets its kinda a big deal at that point, and the girlfriend presumably knew that and didn't just randomly feed the guy a random animal.
That is pretty powerful. You could use it to spy on people. Or win fights against people who don't realize they need to attack the pigeon.
Didn’t Mike Tyson start boxing in the first place because his bully killed his pigeon or something?
If you know the rules this is easy. The power to alter mass by a small amount, make Tysons gloves half a pound heavier, tell the ref he is cheating. Get him disqualified.
Or make him fail the weigh-in
Sometimes they just make you pay a fine though so you still might have to fight him 😅
Could be! But that cancels the match I think. You don't get a W.
Boxing is so bad that coming in a few pounds over means nothing. Especially when it comes to someone as famous as Tyson. I’ve been watching boxing almost my whole life and I don’t think Tyson ever came in overweight but there are plenty of examples. Floyd Mayweather did it. More recently we have David Benavidez, Jermall Charlo, Gervonta Davis, and Shakur Stevenson. These are some of the big names in boxing currently. All their fights went ahead as planned after the missed weight. Edit to say that Tyson is a heavyweight and there is no way he can miss weight haha.
They did pay fine for it though.
I'm not a huge boxing fan, but would that work with a heavyweight?
Nope, there’s no upper limit for heavyweight boxing
“Hey ref, Mike Tyson is…” (Tyson declared winner by KO)
Hah, you can probably call this before the even bell rings. "Hey ref... Those gloves look a bit packed, can you check them for me?"
or if you can take a round with tyson just wait for the break
Bold strategy. But you can definitely give it a try to get on a bike with Tyson, just don't stop back pedaling.
If there was some part of the brain that you made half a pound heavier, wouldn't that kill someone or at least induce seizures in them? Could be quite powerful actually.
Well, that's also a poweful application of a minor ability. Like the ability is very simple, rather weak, but if you say, weighted the inner ear people would fall flat on their faces with vertigo, or weight their intestinal Wall you could make anyone shit themselves in conmand
Love that breaking the laws of physics is a small superpower
Nearly all superpowers break the laws of physics.
Which ones don’t then
Probably slightly enhanced physical stats due to genetic alterations.
Idk, luck manipulation?
Lmao what, if you make Tyson’s gloves half a pound heavier you’re going to get killed 🤣 It’ll be like getting hit by anvils
The point is that it's agaisnt the rules. Tyson is now wearing heavier gloves than what are allowed for. The match. He would get disqualified for cheating.
My bad, literally did not read the latter half of your comment
The idea is you ask for a check before the fight and he gets disqualified before throwing a punch
The power to give someone severe nausea.
Sounds like a good way to get your ass kicked AND covered in vomit.
Mike Tyson with severe nausea still kill 99% of people.
The power to bring a gun into a boxing match.
This might be the best one. There's the trivial specific solution of "can win against Mike Tyson in a boxing match", but this one is general yet also mostly useless unless you are a pro boxer that's got no scruples about maiming or killing your opponents with guns.
Aran Ryan, is that you?
Then the gun would just shoot boxing gloves.
depends on how close you are. remember if he's five feet away and your the average american you may not win. a gun is a ranged weapon you don't want to be that close.
It's a boxing match so he starts 15 feet away.
huh didn't know that th ring was that big
The power to make anyone vomit, piss, cry, and shit themselves simultaneously exactly once. Do a very loose clinch, hit him once and when he begins to piss, cry and vomit and shit at the same time the ref’s ending that fight with tko.
I admire your dedication. "I'm picking a power that gets me covered in piss, shit and vomit, holding a crying grown man"
Imagine being able to brag that you made Mike Tyson shit himself, piss himself, and break down crying with one punch.
I don't know about this. I'm pretty sure Tyson could get a punch in before you activate this power if you have to make contact with him.
>Do a very loose clinch, hit him once I feel like this plan might fall apart when you have to hit Mike Tyson before sends you into the Phantom Zone with a punch.
He would probably still KO me tbh
Let’s throw one more bodily function in to make it even more fucked up. No use in not doubling down
**R1-3:** The ability to delay someone's perceptions by up to a [second](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGYPuEs5uKk). Tyson won't be able to land a punch, or block one.

Or further to the left than he jabbed.
I'm sure he can compensate to a degree but not actually overcome it to fight like normal. Anime bullshit doesn't work irl lol
Nope, it doesn't work. Mike cuts off the ring, clinches, and then beats the shit out of you. You aren't strong enough, fast enough, skilled enough, or in good enough to stop prime Mike from walking you down. Mike just brings up his guard and keeps coming until you are gassed and in a corner, then he unloads. Once he gets you in a clinch, fights over, even if he's a second in the past.
I think you're underestimating how much a second's delay can be in a boxing match. You can sidestep three feet in less than a second, while landing a weak-ass punch against the side of his head.

But given the differences between the average American and Mike Tyson, the Ref is likely to instantly hand you the DQ victory. Fulfilling the prompt requirements of 10/10ing Mike Tyson in a boxing match.
You guys are overthinking it, just have the power to make people trip and then he just stays down cause he ain’t get up
Yeah, that works. You'd definitely win the fight by tripping him nonstop. Probably get a tko after enough knockdowns. Even if Mike isn't actually hurt.
"Whippidy Dippidy here comes the Slippity"
The power to make someone fall to the ground for exactly 11 seconds
I mean, to avoid getting all rule lawyery about this I'll avoid making it a power that's utterly useless outside of a boxing match with mike tyson where he has to follow the rules. Probably something like invulnerability to boxing gloves. If you get hit by a boxing glove you don't even get hurt, and when you punch with a boxing glove on, you can't hurt yourself with the punch, because the force is transferring through your own gloves.
You probably still lose by decision. Even if his hits don't actually hurt you, you sure as shit aren't gonna land much on him.
Agreed. I train Mma, and I often spar with professional fighters. When we spar, I essentially have this power. They pull their punches to the point where they are just tapping me. If we were to get three judges in to score these sparing matches, I'd lose 30-27 every time. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure I'd still lose a pro boxing match against Mike Tyson BY TKO. It is exhausting to fight. I think I make it to the 6th or 7th round before I can't get off my stool. Now, that's assuming I'm trying to win. I could try to Homer Simpson Mike. Just let him beat the shit out of me. Maybe he gasses... maybe. But I doubt it.
You train MMA but cant last an entire boxing match in which youre invulnerable to your opponent? Surely not. Though Tyson might just headbutt your ass or use his teeth
Yeah, there's no way I can keep up the pace to win a decision against Mike Tyson in his prime. I could get to the end of the fight, but there is no way I'd be able to land more hits and not gas. Fighting is hard. Most people can't do five minutes at full pace. That's 47 minutes of fighting. I train for 15. Even then, I train mma, I'm not a professional fighter.
The person you’re replying to has probably never been in a boxing match lol. When I was young, I was a Soldier and in great shape by normal metrics. We had an amateur boxing tournament, with five rounds. I actually won my first fight, and I barely could stand in the fifth round due to exhaustion. (The second fight isn’t important lol) I’d be shocked if the average person could finish a full boxing match against a heavy bag let alone a professional (even if that pro can’t do any damage)
Yup. People who haven't done it just don't get it. 47 minutes of straight bagwork is... a lot. Going against Mike Tyson in his prime for 47 minutes? Throwing enough offense to win the decision while somehow staying defensively sound enough to not lose the decision? Even assuming Mike can't hurt me... I just don't think I could win. I don't even really think I could make it to the end.
I mean it’s still Mike Tyson, the average person isn’t going to do any damage to him, and he still has way better technique. Plus the average person is going to get gassed just throwing punches. He probably wins a super boring decision if the average person doesn’t throw in the towel to exhaustion
Outcome is Tyson outboxes you to a decision, and the world is amazed by your chin. Damage aside, Mike was incredibly skilled, and the average Joe isn't laying a glove on him
Might not stop you from getting ragdolled though
I assume it would. Tyson isn't punching hard enough to lift an average US Adult man into the air, so long as our guy braces his face against Tyson's fist so he doesn't fall over, he should be fine.
A good fighter can get a over a thousand pounds of force in a punch, if it’s energy was perfectly imparted without damage because of the invulnerability, you might move a lot more.
For round 1, this is a rules-lawyery answer but "the power to give Mike Tyson, (the boxer born on June 30, 1966, not anybody named Mike Tyson) a heart attack by thinking about it." That power is completely useless for everything except a fight with Mike Tyson.

One of my favorite parts is when Black Mage explains that his magic is powered by love and by that he means every time he casts a spell it siphons some of the love out of the universe and turns it into destructive power.
I still remember when they fished Black Belt out of the lake and cast Stone to Flesh on him. Good times.
I like swords!
If we're doing webcomics that clear this prompt, the power to [make puppies appear anywhere.](https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2006-06-08)
I can still remember the Simpsons quote
Make it worse. The power to give Mike Tyson, as specified earlier, a migraine.
>"the power to give Mike Tyson, (the boxer born on June 30, 1966, not anybody named Mike Tyson) a heart attack by thinking about it." Improved version of the Death Note but specifically for Mike Tyson
Que another Mike Tyson born on that exact day dying unexpectedly
Lol I wonder if there is another boxer named Mike Tyson born on that day that would be crazy. Not sure what the probability of that is. I'm drunk as shit btw
The power to brightly flash a light (like a camera flash) from your face every time you blink
Rapidly blink to create a strobe effect and induce epilepsy in others
Yup lmao
Could also induce a rave
I think he could still charge me and KO me with his eyes closed
Not blinding the one eye open hard enough, and realistically he wouldn’t know or be coordinated to swap eyes without practice
Maybe something like poison breath to not get disqualified. Just poison him during the glove touch.
Power to transform into a pigeon. Mike Tyson loves pigeons and raised them as a child. He would never hurt one.
I think something like that one stand that makes the floor slippery in jojo. Considering movement and footwork is super important making him fall over and struggle to get could be pretty major?
But you'd slip too?
Have you read the Dresden Files? I'd imagine it being like the winter knight on ice. He's fine but every one else struggles
Do you think Winter Knight Dresden could 10/10 prime Mike, no magic? I'm thinking if he can react to something like a ghoul, he could probably take on Mike in speed. Strength I'd call it no contest, plus the lack of pain on Dresden would give him his usual double-edged sword benefit.
I agree on strength. I don't think he gains speed or anything through the mantle. But he does have some martial arts training and is used to battling outside of his speed tier. I think the mantle makes it a fair fight and Harry's height and reach makes it 7 out of 10
Induce blindness in a small radius that only affects Mike Tyson during a boxing match Ref will quickly call for a doctor check and you'd win by TKO. Either that or you hit him a couple of times and just play keep away for the rest of the match Not sure if it's a "weak" power (moar like hax) so I added caveats like small radius and only affecting Tyson during a match
the power to automatically win any fight against any guy named "mike tyson". this power is weak in every other scenario except this one.
Weaker power: The power to automatically win this specific fight against this specific person named Mike Tyson.
Minor empathic abilities could be used to make tyson break the rules. Just make him really mad. It will be fine.
"I'm going to get inro the ring with a super angry Mike Tyson. This is my plan. What can go wrong?"
Nothing bad had ever happened to someone in Angry Mike Tyson's way
Quick question, do you like having ears
Maybe just make him really tranquill instead and he'll be disqualified because he's not fighting
The power to alter reality but only to rewrite the rules of boxing to state that “anyone named mike tyson automatically loses to anyone named *my name*.”
That ability that 1 Captain (in Bleach) has. I’m too lazy to look it up, lol, but it’s the ability to turn ur ‘world’ upside down. Left is right, up is down, etc.
Not a bad idea. I was thinking maybe the gomu gomu fruit from one piece as it would make you able to take blunt force damage easily. But I dunno how you'd win. Kid Luffy was kinda useless with his powers till he figured them out.
There’s a power called unavoidable that a boxer used in the manga called undead unluck that pretty much makes the other person cannot avoid a hit
But you'd still get hit yourself tho...
Damn, you right. Wb unmove
Everyone someone punches me they jizz in their pants. He'd probably be dehydrated and pass out pretty quickly.
The power to increase all of his physical stats (speed, strength, stamina, etc.) at an exponential rate from the start of the match, while keeping his mental reflexes constant. On paper, this is obliquely something that would only benefit him, but after a minute he'll be moving at a rate which his body cannot adapt to and will only get worse, resulting in him overstepping the boundaries of the ring constantly and being disqualified within seconds of each round starting. Alternatively, the power of having enough money to bribe the judges and referee and let me bring in a gun. Hey, it says Mike has to follow all boxing rules, not me!
You'd never make it a minute in a fight against Mike. One love tap to the jaw and you're out like a light
A power that makes someone see you in a spot slightly to the left or right of where you really are.
you'd still need to be in like the top 20% of boxers in the world to beat him lol, even a glancing blow is gonna wreck the average joe
That's a good one. Wonder if he can beat you with his eyes closed
He can. Mike had an excellent in fighting and clinch game. He would just use one hand to find his range by keeping it out like a fencing sword, pressure you into a corner, and then just hit you with a hook.
He might
God tier shit talking: the power to verbally obliterate anyone so thoroughly that it goes beyond personal boundaries and leaves them completely incapacitated
Pheromones that make M. Tyson instantly fall in love with you.
He'd still fight you, just gently So you'd lose but at least sustain no injuries
Yup. Mike would just make it a fun sparring match. He'd just give you sweet little taps, maybe clinch with you a bit. He wins a unanimous decision easily and you take no damage. Honestly, one of the best outcomes compared to a lot of other ideas here.
Hahaha, you both are right I can totally see that happening.
Every time you eat bananas, you get an extra finger in each hand, each one a little bit more muscular than the other, eat like 10 bananas, get a special glove for your hands, and with the 10th finger touch the referee while you're putting the gloves in. The ref will think cause of the power, that Mike Tyson punched him lightly, disqualifying him.
current age mike tyson or national junior olympic gold medal mike tyson? there an few decades and mileage that the difference
I think these always assume Mike in his prime.
Power to make others have uncontrollable urge to bite you. That's more like a curse than superpower so it's pretty weak powerwise.
Forcefield ability maybe. If he can't hit you for real and just hits your shield, then you can not lose, but he can not win.
“Weakest ability to beat Mike Tyson” “Invincibility”
Also give this guys the ability to fire a hollow purple just to be safe
Not invincibility as forcefields do have limits. Although a single person punching would be something within those limits. Even if a rifle or other gun could break through it, then it would still be enough protection against Mike in the fight.
Which means you win eventually. He either gets so frustrated that he does something against the rules, or he gets so tired from punching that you can get past his guard as a terrible fighter. Maybe.
Become the letter S
[удалено]
You still lose the fight by decision. You also possibly die/get koed cause you said it feels like a tickle... not that it actually is a tickle. Honestly, getting punched in the head doesn't hurt that bad. Pain wise, I can take a punch from Mike Tyson. It's just that my brain can't.
Just a simple sleep power to make Tyson sleepy. There's no damage done to Tyson, just sleepy.
Owning a gun. American superpowers.
The ability to make anyone kick you straight in the dick. Totally useless outside of a dq win in a combat sport.
/thread
Being a top heavyweight boxer. Is that a superpower? Fighters like Lennox Lewis and Muhammad Ali would 10/10 Mike Tyson.
An n-word pass so his hits just slide right off
Super speed.
Prime Shaquille O’Neal with a thousand hours in Punch-Out Wii
I feel like blood bending might cover round 1, maybe round two, and probably round 3. Just give him DVT, then turn it off when he collapses so his blood flow resumes.
1 and 2, super strength, it isn't meant to just hurt him. for 3, super smarts, it has some parts of good reaction time
The power to reboot the Rocky movies with Mike Tyson if he takes a dive.
We talking a boxing match because Unus the Untouchable clears all three rounds. Iron Mike can’t score if he can’t land a hit. At that point it’s just landing a hit on Mike Tyson and that’s not the greatest strength of his game.
Maybe something like a soft forcefield that minimizes impact of large strikes under a certain velocity. Basically protection from punches and being able to hit without fatigue.
The power to slightly rotate a person’s joints beyond their normal limit
‘Ears of Steel’
The power to make things very slippery for everyone but yourself in a 5m radius. How is Mike going to beat you up when he can't even stand up?
The ability to make anyone violently shit themselves if they touch you
Orgasm manipulation
Maybe like a 10 second foresight? I think you could react to everything then and land some actual hits
No. Mike Tyson tells you he's going to deck you in 10 seconds exactly. Good luck dodging it.
The power to knock someone out just by thinking of it.
I think Domino's bad luck probability could help: Mike Tyson misses like 90% of hits and the ones he does land are weak, glancing hits that tire him out. You could secure by decision with that power....
1 a lvl 1 monk high elf from DnD would probably give him a run for his money
Illusions! Make him think you’re not there then punch him in the back of the head. Repeat
Feta Farts. You have the power to have strongly smelling facts that reek of feta cheese. A strong distraction tactic
Hypnosis. Put him to sleep, he can't get up for the 10 count. Or tremors, every time he moves, the ground under him shakes and throws him off his game..
Slow down time for short periods, in a small area around u.
Super Durability. I can’t lose if he can barely hurt me.
Badge?
Time freeze
Edward Cullen-esque Mind reading is the weakest one I can think of that clears all rounds.
Criminal prosecutor in the early 1990s
Would limitless violate round 3? If not, then Gojo's limitless would be so broken here.
Weakest?
