Caption is carrying all of the weight. Heck, the overshadowed character in the picture looks as competent as everybody else so the picture is useless to those who don't follow Naruto.

Yeah, without the caption, an unfamiliar viewer wouldn't even know who was being overshadowed. Bad pic.

Image pulled after three tropers agreed it was bad.

Image suggestion for the lulz of it, that I just found.

That picture doesn't give the viewer any reason to think that the guy in the corner is competent in his own right.

[up][up]Well, he is in a martial arts uniform...

I still think we can find a better picture.

I'm thinking... a competent-looking Marine shot with Batman, Superman, dan Spider-Man.

Here's a sequence that might suit, from a What If? story where Captain America is elected President:

Could be verticalized too, if need be. Also, it might help if someone with more 133t photoshop savvy than I have could "thicken" the blacks of the letttering, too. I rooted around in my Paint Shop Pro for a quick-fix tool of some sort without success.

I think the first panel is more needed than the third... but that could be only me. And drowsiness. Because it actually explains that Cap is President.

I don't like it: the image quality is not good, it is rather wordy and I think we would need all three panels in either a unreadable horizontal or way to long vertical order.

I was thinking the caption could help a bit, something like "Fifth Wheel Defined: Secret Service protection for President Captain America"

what about just the title shot of DBZ, since only the Sayians get the Awesome theres a entire overshadowed CAST!

[up] I'd have to see it resized to give a yea or nay, but my gut says nay.

[up][up]That wouldn't resize well, and there's no way to tell that the people in the background are more powerful than the others.

Plus the way things single Luffy out from all the awesome people...I'd say the picture is making it clear that HE'S the important one.
