Does Not Illustrate: Superpower Lottery

I know Dr. Manhattan is an example, but this image doesn't really show any of his powers. He's just standing there glowing blue. This picture is more of an example of Token Super. (In fact, I'd recommend moving this one over there in place of the current image on that trope.)

Furthermore, the caption doesn't even describe Superpower Lottery. Again, it better describes Token Super.

A better example would be a collage of him using some of his powers to show how he hit the Superpower Lottery.

Yeah, a collage of a superhero using their various powers would work better than the current.

Pull current.

I also support swapping the image on Token Super with this one, as the current on Token Super looks like a clumsily edited collage whereas this one is a proper group shot.

Definitely down to replace the pic on Token Super with this one.

Here's an attempt at a collage. I added one with and without the rainbow fingers, while I like the whimsy of it I worried it might be too tall.

[up] A collage of Superman's powers is already being used to illustrate Combo Platter Powers.

I'd say so. They're more extensive.

I'll see if I can make a collage of Dr. Manhattan's powers. (Though, if anyone else feels like getting to it first, go ahead.)

Tried to get something made up for now, but feel free to bring up something better.

And this isn't even half of what he can do. It's easy when you can manipulate reality.

Text is too small... I don’t think we should go the Combo Platter Powers route to avoid overlap; the trope seems more about power levels.

It's not really about the text though, in my opinion. If that's an issue, I can just edit out the text so that it doesn't serve as a distraction.

If it's not about the text, I'm even more confused, because in every panel he's just...kinda standing there.

There are his Sizeshifter abilities in the top panel, his duplication at the bottom as well as his ability to reverse time by fixing the glass, levitation in the top right, Teleportation on the right, and then blowing up heads on the left.

If that's still not good enough for you guys, then feel free to come up with something else. I did what I could.

I think that image is too busy.

I'm honestly good to no-pic-for-now this. I can't think of a way to illustrate it that isn't Combo Platter Powers. Maybe a power level chart?

None of the pics were particularly impressive.

I guess no pic would be best in that case.
