>Joke character is secretly the most powerful one
This is the best trope. Besides Wally in the comics and cartoon what other examples are there?
Joke character is secretly the most powerful one
Jace Bailey
Caleb Thompson
I feel this counts.
Ayden Ross
...
Isaiah Lee
Literally too good for this world.
Joseph Sanders
but he's the main character. that's a bit like saying naruto fits the mold simply because the character is a goofball moron
Thomas Flores
>Tom Bombadil
>The original and most powerful joke character
Wyatt Ross
Basically fucked up Mongul Jr. and Mongal on his own. And he has proven to be the best supervillain.
Alexander Green
Not really, everybody and their mother knows how tough he is. I would say that it is a toss up between Usopp or Tony Tony Chopper. Not the most powerful but people tend to underestimate them.
Leo Thompson
Yet every new villain completely underestimates him.
It did just say joke character not specifically side-character so... I probably should've opened with Saitama rather than Luffy.
Isaac Brooks
Shonen villains always underestimate the hero.
Lincoln Garcia
If we're doing Sup Forums, Majin Buu should count
Luke Price
Doflamingo didn't underestimated him, he was keeping a close eye on him and getting bothered by his progress.
Julian Roberts

Gabriel Taylor
>joke character is the most powerful one
This trope always make me nervous,though. I mean, when the joke character is shit, it just really rustles my jimmies.
Levi Allen
I still remember watching this as a kid and immediately falling in love with this fat pink cunt
After Frieza and Cell and every other arm-crossing, smug smirking villain in anime and cartoons at the time, he was so refreshing
also he's the best boy
Brayden Kelly
Flash is a jobber though. One good moment won't wash away decades of getting BTFO by everyone.
Leo Barnes
You shouldn't have opened up with either because neither are Sup Forums
John Smith
>I don't read comics and I must post
Robert Perez
I do read comics though. He's always the guy relegated to civilian rescue while Superman fights the big bad.
Julian Hughes
>That time Wally went faster than instant transportation
>That time Wally literally outran death
Not even Supes has done shit this retardedly powerful.
Benjamin Torres
...
Julian Murphy
Logan Evans
Supes has done far more retarded shit.
Not sure what this is supposed to prove. They couldn't anticipate him because he was dead in their world.
Michael Wood
When was the last time Wally used his Bachelors degree in Physics for anything? I mean, I know he is a superhero but don't let it go to waste.
Jose Thompson
Wait
Wally is educated?
Carson Taylor
Yes actually. He looked up to Barry who was a scientist so we wanted to get a degree in STEM. He can also think faster giving him an edge when doing math problems.
Jonathan Smith
...
Logan Ward
Raf's reaction to it is probably in my top 5 cartoon moments of all time.
Carson Clark
Plastic Man is the classic example of this.
Bentley Morris
...
Aaron Morgan
I like how Mikey being the most naturally gifted ninja has been made canon since this series.

I wonder what it's like reading The Dark Knight Strikes Again on acid
Kevin Jones
When was the last time anyone used a Bachelors degree in Physics at all?
Connor Harris
About the same as reading it normally: Awful
Bentley Walker
>>Joke character is secretly the most powerful one
>This is the best trope.
No. Fuck you. Also FFFUCK time travel.
Nicholas Gomez
:') Too bad we might not see him in the new season.
John Martin
What did he end up doing?
Jason Perez
He got a hold of Pandora's Box in Season 3.
Jonathan Price
Beware...
Ryder Russell
this
Anthony Garcia
Tom Bombadil was a self-insert, just like those two face-dancers at the end of Chapterhouse Dune were Herbert and his wife. At least Tolkien's self-insert didn't try to hog the spotlight.
> joke character secretly most powerful
DC's Plastic Man, and Ambush Bug.
Marvel's Squirrel Girl. I wanted to say The Sentry, but even though he is a joke character he's not a secret -- the overwhelming and plot-distorting power is the joke.
Jace Wright
>squirrel girl
o bb
William Harris
Would have solo'd the big bad if not for stupid bullshit plot.
Christopher Parker
May not be co but Sans from Undertale fits this. He's a nihilistic joker that sits on the sidelines. only by running a pure evil genocide route, can get sans to fight as the final (and hardest) boss.
Christopher Morgan
It can be done right.
It can be done very wrong.
That trope is not inherently good.
Caleb Flores
No trope is inherently good you silly goose, it's all about how they're used
Camden Hernandez
doflamingo did and katakuri is currently taking him seriously.
Charles Gonzalez
>Besides Wally in the comics
You didn't actually read Flash comics, did you?
David Flores
The best part of it is that Sans isn't dangerous because he's secretly superpowerful or anything. He manages to be so dangerous due to a mixture of skill, intelligence, trickery, and pure desperation.
Alexander Edwards
I had an idea but i forgot it.
Joseph Flores
is this the dude from darker than black
why did you make him into a girl
Ryan Rivera
...
Logan Campbell
Plas more than Luffy.
Aaron Ortiz
...
Aiden Hill
Chad's quads make him right
Gavin Collins
Looking back, this should've been obvious.
Kayden Jones
Luffy is hardly the strongest. Hell he needed Law to basically bifurcate Doff before he could even fight with him.
Andrew Bell
what
Jose Gray
Megas XLR is basically if the joke character was the MC
Liam Nelson
>Besides Wally in the comics and cartoon what other examples are there?
Plastic Man, at all times and in all versions of the character.
Ethan Smith
F
He doesnt know
Landon Lee
>the OST
>the fight sequences
>those episodes ripping on anime/super sentai tropes
>the self-aware dashboard
I miss that damn show.
Jonathan Campbell
It was too good for this sinful Earth...
Carson Perry
Could he? Clear Note looks as if he doesn't give a flying fuck about getting hurt badly in combat. The actual damage that Zatch and Kiyo actually took during their battle, to what they thought they took was pretty minimal.
Once Clear Note realises his attacks are suspiciously not hurting Kanchomé . He would probably just focus on burning Kanchomé's book.
William Bell
>Tom Bombadil
>Tolkien self-insert
Beren and Lúthien, fag.
Tom is inspired by some Irish and Scottish folklore, but his role is original. He’s one of the major characters not of Nordic inspiration.
Jack Jones
>DCAU Flash
>Joke Character
I see him as a "kid appeal character"
Kevin Johnson
...
Logan Sanchez
Comedic relief =/= Joke character
Kevin Edwards
These threads always remind me why people from Sup Forums aren't employed
Grayson Watson
>Wally in the comics
U wot. Wally is a srs bznz fag a looot in the comics
Samuel King
Lucas Myers
Considering Kanchome became a reality warper with his illusions becoming real, I think he could beat Clear just by spawning a fire in that baby's bubble shield.
