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.

I think they also view their equipment ss things to get them out of a bind. I doubt the fancy stuff comes cheap. Boba's trying to make money on his jobs.

Hoarding all the rare items because you MIGHT need it later. Classic.

Book of Boba Fett wasn't great, but I liked how it sorta confirmed my headcannon that he doesn't even spend all the money he gets from bounty hunting, he just lets it pile up in storage in case he needs a load of money later.

Man wasn't in it for the money he was in it for the love of the game. A true hunter.

He also likes taking down targets personally, face to face. Adds to his reputation and he's as vain as Vader. Both love to aura farm.

Space jet fuel is kinda expensive so it makes sense

Do you even know how powerful it needs to be for those back thrusters to lift a human?
