10 Superheroes Who Are Way More Powerful Than You Think
2. Animal Man
As Animal Man, Buddy Baker can take on the characteristics of any animal in his proximity. You would think Buddy would take on the abilities of big animals like a tiger. Although ferocious animals give him an advantage, Buddy can also take on the reflexes of a fly so he perceives everything in slow-motion. This allows him to dodge bullets and lets him see his opponent telegraph every attack.
Buddy can merge with multiple animals simultaneously. He can obtain the “strength of an elephant, reflexes of a fly, speed of a cheetah.” He calls it his “favourite cocktail of animal abilities."
You might think, "Surely he would be vulnerable if there were no animals around, right?" But that's the thing - There's ALWAYS animals around! If he can locate one ant, he will have 49 times the strength of a human. If he can locate one worm under the soil, he would have to be shredded to pieces to be put down for good. If he can find one bird in the sky, he can fly.
If he detects a protozoa (which can be found in any drop of water) he can duplicate himself, meaning that his enemies would have to fight an army of Animal Men.
