Yes it's a massive image, I don't care

Introduction

I went over this guy a bit a while back on one of my lists, but I'll go over it again.

Major Disaster started off as a really lame villain back in the Pre Crisis age, usually being put up against random foes like the Karate Kid, Green Lantern, and Superman. He used to use machines to create disasters, until he was covered in disaster energy, which made him capable of just doing it by himself.

He would later become a good guy for a bit, joining the Justice League, until he left to join the Justice League Elite (which was basically a really lame X-Force) and later had his powers even more enhanced by Neron, to the point that he could literally see the threads of chaos around him and could cause instant domino effects to make whatever he wanted happen.

In the N52, he's done......nothing really.

This RT will be covering him from all of these incarnations.

Conclusion

Major is pretty strong, but his powers are sadly in the hands of someone that seems to be unable to grasp the full nature of them.

That's fancy talk for saying he's dumb. Like thug level dumb.

It's a shame, because he has a ton of potential, but has been left as fodder in random villain teams for a while.

This looks like a Wonder Woman disrespect thread in disguise tbh. Lightning, hail, gas lines...

But his power is pretty cool, I guess. Nice work.

@toratorn: I would like to think that Major's power makes his disasters a bit more powerful than usual, but yeah.....not looking great for her.

Still, thanks for the nice comment

@professorrespect: I'll admit that strange has better defense but Wanda being a glass canon doesn't remove the fact that she's a high tier.

Being a glass canon has nothing to do with jobbing and she still has high tier feats.
