Respect Metro Man and Tighten [Megamind]

Spoilers for Megamind to follow.

#Metro Man

Sent to Earth from a dying planet as a baby, Metro Man became the defender of Metro City, frequently doing battle with his nemesis, Megamind. His powers include, to quote Megamind, “flight, invulnerability, and great hair.” Metro Man is smug and theatrical, reveling in the city’s admiration of him.

#Tighten

When cameraman Hal Stewart is accidentally infused with Metro Man’s DNA, he gains his powers and becomes the supervillain Tighten (a misspelling of “Titan”). Though Megamind tries to groom him into a hero to challenge him, Hal quickly goes mad with power.

Since their powers are stated to be the same, most of Tighten’s feats should be applicable to Metro Man, and vice versa.

Strength

• Sends a man flying with a flick
• Tears through a copper sphere
• Knocks over a gas truck, and also apparently either survives or flies out of the way of the ensuing explosion
• Using a streetlamp, hits Megamind’s mech into the sky
• Pushes the mech down through several stories of a building
• Topples a skyscraper
• Lifts the top half of the building and throws it

Durability

• Is unaffected by an energy gun
• Takes a backhand from Megamind’s mech, sending him tunneling through a street
• Survives a bunch of robots exploding

Speed, Mobility, and Dexterity

• Catches a falling Roxie and juggles her through traffic
• Duels Megamind’s mech with streetlamps
• Flies faster than the mech he knocked into the air
• Flies fast enough to create a shockwave that breaks a lot of windows

Eye Beams

• Melts a mannequin’s head
• Tears up streets and buildings
• Bursts out of a swarm of Megamind’s robots

Other Abilities

• Spies on someone from several blocks away

Weaknesses

• He is cowardly when confronted by someone he considers his equal in power
• The gun Megamind used to give him his powers can also take them away
• He's dumb and gullible enough to believe that a disguised Megamind is his "space dad"
