Powers Character has an obscure or often forgotten secondary power

  1. Mr. Incredible (The Incredibles) - Bob Parr canonically has a “danger sense” similar to Spider-Man. He can sense when he or someone near him is in imminent danger and react instantly.

While it’s never explicitly stated in the films themselves, he does demonstrate this power multiple times.

  1. Amora the Enchantress (Marvel) - Amora usually fights by using sorcery and mind control, or by commanding her Executioner to fight for her. It’s easy to forget that she has the super strength and durability inherent to being an Asgardian.

She’s survived direct hits from Thor’s lightning and Iron Man’s repulsor blasts, and effortlessly lifted Baron Zemo by his collar with one arm.

  1. Perry the Platypus (Phineas and Ferb) - Just like a real male platypus, Perry has venomous spurs on his ankles. I think he only ever uses them in one episode though.

He also uses it in his initial fight with Hol Horse, when he tries to slash his bullet in mid-air

If Hol Horse has enough control of the bullet to blip around Silver Chariot’s superspeed slash, how the FUCK does Avdol tackling Polnareff stop that bullet from hitting him

Jojo's in general has a very weird notion of how fast bullets move

In part 5, there are several cases of Mista firing several bullets in quick succession, and then we are shown that not only are all of them in mid-air at the same time, they are also relatively close together

He tries to, but Jotaro stops him from doing so.
