Does Not Illustrate (CROWNER): Superhero Packing Heat

Eh, like I said earlier. I'll settle on Spawn.

No, just include the current image as an option. If that one wins or if there's no consensus, keep it.

Crowner here. (For future reference - How Crowners Work is where you want to go.)

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

Title edited to reflect crowner.

on Spawn.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?

Noaq, thanks for both the crowner and the pointer to the wiki page on crowners.

All your safe space are belong to Trump

Also, added crowner link to the OP, for the sake of making it easier to find.

(Not that it's too difficult to find with the thread at its current size, granted. )

No problem. :)

Spawn appears to be winning at the moment by a fair stretch.

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

I've pinned the OP.

... and I fixed it to be a bit less ramble-y, making it more like something for a pinned post (which I didn't think about mentioning, mostly because it hasn't been around long enough to become "old hat" for me ).

Bump for votes.

Spawn's the only one in the green and is at +10, so I think this one's safe to call. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Maybe "Hell hath no fury like an over-the-top arsenal." as a Stealth Pun on his powers?

"Superpowers include: Guns, Symbiotic Demonic Suit, Guns, Super Strength, Bigger Guns, Elemental Manipulation, More Guns, Shapeshifting, High Caliber Guns, Teleportation, oh and Guns!"

Prefer over , actually. It appeals to my sense of the absurd.

Prefer some version of 61. Cleverer.

There's no difference between the two in that respect.

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

Prefer 62. It better serves the trope (That a superhero uses guns even if he has super powers or won the Superpower Lottery)

I suppose I'm too late to the party, but I just figured I'd post these since they fit, and are quite cool, I think◊

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

Does Spawn really count as a hero?

^ The trope is flexible enough to count him in. Superhero Packing Heat isn't limited to just traditional "hero" types.

I'm haven't seen a whole lot of him, but from what I have I though he was why down the Anti-Hero scale bordering on Anti Villian.

The trope includes both heroes and villains. It explicitely says so in the the description. So what does him being an anti-hero have to do with anything?

The isn't that title kind of misleading?

Then open a TRS thread for it. This is not the place to debate the trope title.

The TRS is full because noone is resolving anything...

So help resolve things? There's a ton of thread that need work done and can be closed.

The point is is this is image picking. Not TRS. It's not the place to discuss renames, even if the TRS is full or not.

And on the actual thread topic your only objection to the image is "Spawn isn't a hero" which is both debatable, and frankly irrelevant as the page description plainly spells out in clear bullet point form (Yes, people should read the page descriptions to figure out what tropes are, not base themselves on the titles. Descriptions are not just there to keep the Wiki's word count up). Hrrrm, that came out as more antagonizing than I meant. Sorry. Just that it's a pet peeve of mine on the boards.

To adress any future "Is Spawn an example?":

He is. They are. As Al's powers are fueled by the Necroplasm he needs to live, guns tend to be amongst his first resorts (Especially with non supernatural threats) as they do not consume what is essentially his lifeforce. Al's training as an assassin/mercenary/commando also makes guns a natural fallback since its how he learned to fight.

I've been there right and left bumping threads and trying to get thing moving. I'm helping in several threads at once right now.
