imagine being a metal bender. carry a jar with fluid metals like mercury or gallium, make a fake gun. get into a fight, enemy expects you to pull the trigger. they do not expect you to CHUCK the gun at them. they definitely do not expect the gun to burst in a shower of metal and suddenly, they're bound up in wires.

hell, you could do a discount walgreens version of puppetry by encasing the joints of the enemy with metal and then moving them around via virtue of the metal.

if you get real good at it, like real good at it, go full Metallica and remove the iron in their blood. turn it into razors inside them and slice them up from inside.

genuinely, hear me out!

first off, this is my first post so bear with me but

i'd like to make clear the amount of scary mc's i've recently seen, and it is dwindling. I need mc's with "our only chance but not a good one" aura, the one whose actions make you always double think if its really a good idea leaving them alone in that room or giving them that one really powerful macguffin

imo, sukuna is an example of this, atleast in the latter half of the story. he was encased within yuji and, really, you've seen how devious the man was. he is your only hope, but are you sure you can trust him? godzilla is also a really good example. sure, he saves the world every other day, but he isn't doing it for us, we're just a fancy add on that comes from saving the world. he killed ghidorah in one film, but two films later, he's breaking into nuclear plants and slaughtering all the humans who come after him. it took his rival (monke) and his wife (mothra) to stop him, and those are two whole titans.

accelerator is the perfect example of this. he goes out of his way to make people scared shitless of him so they leave him alone. sure, after getting shot in the head and curbstomped with nerfs, people coming after him skyrocketed so he had to up the ante even more.
