im gonna be honest... the power of reddit would be OBJECTIVELY better than what he actually got. man got the ability to use a search engine without a computer, that's it. also, if that search engine blocks sites he cant do anything about it so the government censoring site or DMCAs taking searches down or "google" blacklisting stuff would still affect him
I mean there's cyclops with similar looking glasses.. but at least cyclops has awesome laser eyes and the glass it to hold his laser back.. Meanwhile him.. lol 😂
What the fick is internet gas? Thanks for reminding us. Those of us subscribed to ClownfishTV were laughing hard the entire announcement. These New Warriors are worse than The Mystery Men.
With how he’s dressed like he’s in Game Theory merch, and their being talks of experimental mind altering gases in the Fnaf lore it wouldn’t surprise me if that was a theory the author had. They’ve definitely been chronically online long enough to know that.
Imagine this, Screentime is trying to diffuse a bomb with only 30 seconds on the clock, he searches up a video on how to diffuse a bomb with only 15 seconds left, then an unskippable 15 second ad pops up and the bomb explodes
The think is that, Brainrot's power can actually be terrifying. Imagine him just being able to brainrot everyone in a certain radius to the point of making his victims literally go insane.
Brainrot's powers : - Sigma (Adds power) - Level x (Amplifies a certain quality based on the level, can be used to amplify Sigma's enhancement) - Rizz (Hypnotizing power that made others obey him) - Skibidi (Summons toilet shaped armor) Possible combos Level 100 Sigma ("Level 100" power adding) Level 500 Rizz ("Level 500" Hypnotizing) Sigma Skibidi Level 1000 (Summons Level 1000 Skibidi armor on top of existing ones)
Easy fix? Just have him get sucked into his grandfather's super computer and leave him stranded in the internet, forcing him to be an AI. Geniuses like Tony Stark and Reed Richards are working on finding a way to release him but in the mean time, he gets stuffed into a team of people his age to keeo him busy and give him company. Also, kid is definitely trying to stay sane by conjuring up cute kitty and puppy videos cuz getting the extreme version of chronically online is doing a lot of damage to his sanity. Also, if he was more recent, I wouldve based his design on vtubers cuz I imagine that as a way to pass time, talk to people and maybe earn money, Screentime took up vtubing so he can earn money for his parents while playing video games.
I like that idea, I can already picture him floating in cyberspace or whatever pulling up 2 internet window panels showing cute puppy and kitten videos and then they both leap right out of the panels so he can cuddle them for real 💕
Yes! This is a much more likeable personality, and a lot less one-dimensional! Plus, the time spend online to cope makes his addiction sound like something interesting than "haha teenager quotes bad memes"
There have been cases when people on those forums have solved crimes and helped people, this guy is useless. There are a number of cyborgs in Marvel who should have as good or better connection to the internet, and a large number of people like anyone working for Stark or AIM should have access to VR glasses with at least as much capabilities as this guy has. Without a real superpower this guy is trying to be the badass normal of the team without being even adequate.
@@yourlocaldemon2195 Dunno about the rest of tumblr but in my tiny corner (Megaman fans) those of us who also like Marvel (thanks MvC) have pointed out that's just a lamer version of Megaman Star Force.

The writer actually has worked beyond Buzzfeed on good things like Colbert and he is known for making satire. This was supposed to be a "hello, fellow kids" "hero" team controlled by the goverment while they outlawed other teen superheroes, the point was for them to be cringy and on the wrong side of things. But we never got to see it cause the book was cancelled cause people just got outraged without knowing anything

I forgot about these abominations when they came out. Initially, I thought, "Maybe this guy is on 2-3 layers of irony and is actually funny." And then he said buzzfeed.
It was supposed to be ironic. They were a goverment sponsored superhero team coming after other legit teen superhero teams. The writer has multiple emmy nominations and only worked at buzzfeed for a year
@@christopherscotts5797Yeah one it's still a terrible idea and two what would have been the counter action from the other teen superhero characters that were supposed to balance this out. Was there was supposed to be in already established non-binary teenage superhero that would contradict and rival the government sponsored Non-binary superhero? This is where the idea truly falls apart.
Okay, going over all of these guys is making me wonder who they were intended to fight, because there are so many villains who could takes these guys out in the first issue.
this one is basically a less warped version of MODOK, at least on paper, B works for basically any of the beast&supernatural b,c and d listers in marvel, and the rest would fit with the old new warriors approach from before civil war but none of them was ever gonna get an actual nemesis, that's for sure
They were actually a goverment controlled team. They were gonna fight The Champions, who were the good teen superhero team at the time at Marvel, and then they were gonna realize they were on the wrong side
I would rewrite this character to have a bit more of a dark twist. He's still connected to the internet, but he can't tell the difference between real life and games due to them being equally real to him. When not on missions with his group, he's playing MMOs almost frantically because he genuinely thinks he's a world hopper and these other lands need him and no one else will listen to him or help. If someone in the game dies during the story, he treats it like losing a best friend and mourns. He's forgotten who he is, other than he's a hero and he has to help everyone. Although sometimes he'll take on the personality of whatever hero he was playing as in his games and fight like them.
Still potentially problematic in that "kids these days" way, but at least yours is a creative character with lots of room for drama and conflict. Good job 👍👍
What if he actually has the ability to hope between these internet games as if they were dimensions, so he can just enter a pocket dimension and disappear, but he still gets to the point of "not differenciating reality and internet" or gets too adicted to being in this pocket dimensions. Also, would be funny to see a villain get dragged into one of these dimensions that it's just minecraft nether lmao
Honestly the power to instantly just think of a question and the answer pops into your head is pretty cool. Especially if it was limitless and you could ask about the meaning of life and such
The idiocy is mind boggling, just say he accidentally his grandpa's nanomachines or cyborgization virus or maybe he got brain damage and grandpa used his totally-not-Musk's-brainlink to fix it. That still leaves his ability severely lacking in being either super or a hero, but at least being a proto-transhuman who knows stuff by downloading how-to videos and things like that is a better backstory than this "magnets have earth in them" level blatant ignorance. Or if you really want to give him a real superpower so he would have something we can't accomplish with real life tech, call it a magic ritual or alien tech that nobody knows what it really does. Being blessed by the spirits of the internet would be clearly supernatural ability but make it a plot point that they are still rather new and need decades or centuries to gain enough power to give any more impressive abilities. OTOH, having potentially very advanced tech implanted in his head but only being able to use it as a phone gives options for both future upgrades giving him powerups and plotlines like "the implant is taking over his body and the aliens are spying on us through it!" that allow for him to be actually relevant.
Ok, since we're having a sort of short series on terrible superheroes, I'll share the worst superhero I ever came up with (as a kid): He didn't really have a name, his superpower was that his blood-all of it- was replaced by microscopic spiders that can function as blood cells and leave his body and combine to become bigger spiders, which can in turn combine to become bigger appendages and even entire structures. Might sound cool on paper, but in hindsight while using these spiders out of his body he'd die pretty quickly due to losing "blood". I didn't really comprehend that arachnophobia exists as a kid.
The thing about these characters is that their individual components are interesting but the way they are meshed together doesn't work Like an nb with ice power can be genuinely cool (see uraume) A person that wants to help other can be engaging (see steven universe) A person with a magical backpack that helps in dire situations is a great way to unveil intriguing conflict (see dora and miraculous)
B-negative. she actually did get an appearance in the comics, in the darkhold '21 miniserie, in corrupt Blade's issue. arguably, she could have been introduced in main 616 straight up as a standalone, unlike the others here that would need at least some technical salvaging....
Honestly I think something like this can work with a few tweaks here and there. Maybe add some sort of telepathy aspect to the power so this information could be shared with team members in a instant, almost as if they are uploading knowledge directly into the heads of their teammates. They would by no means be a frontline fighter, but a good support is a good support.
If he could have access to everywhere on the internet including stuff hidden from the public like government stuff or company's data he could be so overpowerd
I mean, having instant access to all the information on the internet is also more or less Freekazoid's primary power, just without any filterers driving him insane.
In theory, his powers could be useful if given to a soldier or mercenary who could make use of that information. They’d basically be a walking FPS character, but it’d be better than some living embodiment of Reddit
Tbh it had potential if they made his powers video gamey or used hardlight shenanigans, imagine if he could conjure power ups into reality out of pixels or bring Augmented Reality into actual Reality. Just give this man GMod Powers
Ngl, having instantaneous access to the internet whenever you want with a single thought is pretty strong. He may not necessarily be a super genius but the entire sun of human knowledge is a single thought away. Long as he did it right, he could realistically do anything
This may sound stupid, but compared to ‘Grandpa’s internet gas’ this may be a more interesting rewrite: His grandpa used to work in this laboratory where scientists made efforts to combine organic life with technology, trying to force evolution to combine with developing tech, and the internet. Maybe to make ‘weapons’ for military use, or some other reason. Anyway Screenpa left since he felt a lot of the wark was growing increasingly more immoral (think unwilling subjects or surgeries that didnt guarantee survival despite not being necessary for research). Yet years later when Screentime was little the laboratory snatched him up to get Screenpa to hand over some information they needed, but couldn’t access without him. Maybe something malfunctioned and caused a disaster, and Screentime got hurt. In a bid to save his grandson, a desperate grandfather conducted one of the surgeries the lab considered, and Screenpa planted a chip developed during his time as a scientist from the laboratory implanted into Screentime's brain to keep it going, despite the guilt of knowing his grandson's life will never be the same. Idk I’ve never written an origin story before, but over time Screentime realized he has potential, given the chip in his brain being able to connect to the internet, so he experiments what he can do to put the surgery to better use other than being a remorseful last resort, and decides he wants to help people with his connections. Perhaps as his secret identity he uses his instant connection to memes to pick up on slang easier to help his social life? Seeing maps sounds useful, but maybe he can connect to devices (and track them, connecting to his power of maps), simple things like automatic doors being the fastest and easiest to manipulate, but this ability gets harder the more protected and private devices are, like a database with high security (maybe it could take up to a week if he wants to do it safely). Maybe this extends to being able to spy on other connections after getting through the security measures, like phone calls between enemies if he knows the right way around the walls of the vast World Wide Web. However, a setback could be that if someone gives him an internet virus, his body is physically impacted when the chip in his brain receives it, which gives him reason to be careful when intercepting messages between foes or sneaking into their data. Sorry that was a bit long, but seeing a character with so much potential being treated like this hurts me on an almost physical level💀
This guy actually could’ve been cool if they made him into an actual genius who can hack on the fly with his tech and control anything mechanical he’d be so sick plus he troll and mess with his opponents tricking them with holograms and his intelligence
This guy looks like he's supposed to be Ben 10's time-traveling grandson. Same color pallet and futuristic design choices. Just slap the Omnitrix on him and walla. I think that's TECHNICALLY a compliment, but the "internet gas" just ruins him.
By the time this video was done, I've already thought of (what I think is) a much better idea: He can use his VR setup to control a robot (or a collection of robots) to fight battles in his stead. Perhaps he could also be physically disabled in some way that prevents him from fighting directly, which is why he uses technology so much (kinda like Oracle from Batman, but with more robots). He could also be the group's tactician, using camera drones to create a live AR map of the battlefield which he can interact with using his headset. Doesn't that seem so much better?? (If it doesn't that's fine, but I still like it more)
Honestly, that cancelled series alone is the reason I gave up everything that has to do with Marvel. Because it gave me an idea of the type of people that work in the industry and what stories are gonna bleed into other mediums.

Or if you really want to give him a real superpower so he would have something we can't accomplish with real life tech, call it a magic ritual or alien tech that nobody knows what it really does. Being blessed by the spirits of the internet would be clearly supernatural ability but make it a plot point that they are still rather new and need decades or centuries to gain enough power to give any more impressive abilities.
OTOH, having potentially very advanced tech implanted in his head but only being able to use it as a phone gives options for both future upgrades giving him powerups and plotlines like "the implant is taking over his body and the aliens are spying on us through it!" that allow for him to be actually relevant.
Sounds pretty idiotic (this is coming from a right person)
@@TMHLBPFanBut do you call everything Woke ?
Grandpa's internet gas sounds like a strain of weed
Ok, since we're having a sort of short series on terrible superheroes, I'll share the worst superhero I ever came up with (as a kid):
He didn't really have a name, his superpower was that his blood-all of it- was replaced by microscopic spiders that can function as blood cells and leave his body and combine to become bigger spiders, which can in turn combine to become bigger appendages and even entire structures.
Might sound cool on paper, but in hindsight while using these spiders out of his body he'd die pretty quickly due to losing "blood".
I didn't really comprehend that arachnophobia exists as a kid.
Maybe you could call him "Haemospider" or "Crimson Arachnid"
everyones making jokes now, but we all wish we had these powers during finals
I'll admit. The Vampire one. [I forgot their name[ Ifrc. I did like that one in concept.
The thing about these characters is that their individual components are interesting but the way they are meshed together doesn't work
Like an nb with ice power can be genuinely cool (see uraume)
A person that wants to help other can be engaging (see steven universe)
A person with a magical backpack that helps in dire situations is a great way to unveil intriguing conflict (see dora and miraculous)
B-negative. she actually did get an appearance in the comics, in the darkhold '21 miniserie, in corrupt Blade's issue.
arguably, she could have been introduced in main 616 straight up as a standalone, unlike the others here that would need at least some technical salvaging....
@@serPomiz Or. Be introduced as a vampire bat based mutant.
@@mineflameblade8788 with that design they could feat well in the X-men, but I kinda prefer the origin being related to Morbius
@@serPomiz He's a guy who uses he/him pronouns
"Internet gas" sounds like his grandpa was creepy and made a weird prank that ended with him farting in his face.
Alternate backstory: he got Elon Musks NeuraLink Brain Chip.
All those guys look like they are the first to die in a battle, and it’s not even the villains but rather friendly fire
"Experimental Internet gas" sounds like whatever comes out from the organism from excessive consumption of mountain dew in your mother's basement
“How do you do, fellow kids?”-The writers, probably.
Honestly I think something like this can work with a few tweaks here and there. Maybe add some sort of telepathy aspect to the power so this information could be shared with team members in a instant, almost as if they are uploading knowledge directly into the heads of their teammates. They would by no means be a frontline fighter, but a good support is a good support.
Or Make Him Be able to get any information from Any device
@@J-h.1_0For his sake that might be pretty traumatic should they ever pull info from the wrong person XD He will never unseen something he will regret
If he could have access to everywhere on the internet including stuff hidden from the public like government stuff or company's data he could be so overpowerd
“He worked at Buzzfeed.” It all makes sense now
What's that?
@@KingInBlack69it’s garbage
So his power is basically just google?
Blud thinks he's moonsoon 💀
I mean, having instant access to all the information on the internet is also more or less Freekazoid's primary power, just without any filterers driving him insane.
In theory, his powers could be useful if given to a soldier or mercenary who could make use of that information. They’d basically be a walking FPS character, but it’d be better than some living embodiment of Reddit
It could also be useful if it was given to an A.I who wants to be human *glares at Vision*
He’s giving Miraculous Akumatized victim tbh
O
M
G
XD
If it actually happens...
Tbh it had potential if they made his powers video gamey or used hardlight shenanigans, imagine if he could conjure power ups into reality out of pixels or bring Augmented Reality into actual Reality. Just give this man GMod Powers
Or make his powers meme based
Ngl, having instantaneous access to the internet whenever you want with a single thought is pretty strong. He may not necessarily be a super genius but the entire sun of human knowledge is a single thought away. Long as he did it right, he could realistically do anything
they clearly didnt consult any chronically online people
(example: me)
It would be funny if all these heros pulled up to fight acting all tough and then getting beat up by a villan to make the villan look stronger
Wharf effect strikes again
Bro just duck taped a Google home to himself and called it a day.
Of course a BuzzFeed employee made this
Experimental internet gas....light 😂
monsoon of the winds of destruction >>>> Screentime.
You could’ve left it at, “He was created by a former Buzzfeed employee”. That tells us EVERYTHING we needed to know 😂
Why does he look like Ben 10 with a receding hairline 😭😭😭
That ain't Ben 10 that's Benjamin 7
This may sound stupid, but compared to ‘Grandpa’s internet gas’ this may be a more interesting rewrite: His grandpa used to work in this laboratory where scientists made efforts to combine organic life with technology, trying to force evolution to combine with developing tech, and the internet. Maybe to make ‘weapons’ for military use, or some other reason.
Anyway Screenpa left since he felt a lot of the wark was growing increasingly more immoral (think unwilling subjects or surgeries that didnt guarantee survival despite not being necessary for research). Yet years later when Screentime was little the laboratory snatched him up to get Screenpa to hand over some information they needed, but couldn’t access without him. Maybe something malfunctioned and caused a disaster, and Screentime got hurt. In a bid to save his grandson, a desperate grandfather conducted one of the surgeries the lab considered, and Screenpa planted a chip developed during his time as a scientist from the laboratory implanted into Screentime's brain to keep it going, despite the guilt of knowing his grandson's life will never be the same.
Idk I’ve never written an origin story before, but over time Screentime realized he has potential, given the chip in his brain being able to connect to the internet, so he experiments what he can do to put the surgery to better use other than being a remorseful last resort, and decides he wants to help people with his connections. Perhaps as his secret identity he uses his instant connection to memes to pick up on slang easier to help his social life?
Seeing maps sounds useful, but maybe he can connect to devices (and track them, connecting to his power of maps), simple things like automatic doors being the fastest and easiest to manipulate, but this ability gets harder the more protected and private devices are, like a database with high security (maybe it could take up to a week if he wants to do it safely). Maybe this extends to being able to spy on other connections after getting through the security measures, like phone calls between enemies if he knows the right way around the walls of the vast World Wide Web. However, a setback could be that if someone gives him an internet virus, his body is physically impacted when the chip in his brain receives it, which gives him reason to be careful when intercepting messages between foes or sneaking into their data.
Sorry that was a bit long, but seeing a character with so much potential being treated like this hurts me on an almost physical level💀
This is way better than internet gas
This guy actually could’ve been cool if they made him into an actual genius who can hack on the fly with his tech and control anything mechanical he’d be so sick plus he troll and mess with his opponents tricking them with holograms and his intelligence
His one weakness: going outside
This dude was absolutely just shitting on young people.
He could have actually been an interesting behind-the-screen support hero if given a chance.
“Grandpa’s internet gas” sounds like a decent name for a weed strain ngl 😂
This guy looks like he's supposed to be Ben 10's time-traveling grandson. Same color pallet and futuristic design choices. Just slap the Omnitrix on him and walla. I think that's TECHNICALLY a compliment, but the "internet gas" just ruins him.
I clicked this video cuz i thought he was a future Ben 10 character 💀
By the time this video was done, I've already thought of (what I think is) a much better idea:
He can use his VR setup to control a robot (or a collection of robots) to fight battles in his stead. Perhaps he could also be physically disabled in some way that prevents him from fighting directly, which is why he uses technology so much (kinda like Oracle from Batman, but with more robots). He could also be the group's tactician, using camera drones to create a live AR map of the battlefield which he can interact with using his headset.
Doesn't that seem so much better?? (If it doesn't that's fine, but I still like it more)
This is sick as hell
@@Zay-Does-Stuff
Thank you!! 😊
@@ob2kenobi388 You're welcome
Daniel kibblesmith straight up thinking his last name is Word-smith with that origin story 😭💀
These sound like the fake superhero squad the real heroes have a conflict with.
“Kibblesmith” is right, he forged dog food with this one
Lol good one 😂🤣💀
these characters feel like someone's parody of superheroes
As soon as you said he worked at buzzfeed I audibly shouted "NO"
Honestly, that cancelled series alone is the reason I gave up everything that has to do with Marvel. Because it gave me an idea of the type of people that work in the industry and what stories are gonna bleed into other mediums.
Honestly thought that was ben 10 with the power of 4 chan.
Sorry Jubilee, you're cool now.
I love how screentime and the poster share alot in common
I smelled my grandpa internet gas and now I jave dementia too
Pass me that Internet za za
"Buzzfeed editor" was all you needed to say, it all makes sense now
"It's time to make it appear that the Green Goblin posted an insensitive meme!"
"I hold the power of reddit in my hands"
All of these characters seem like one off invincible characters that die for a joke
The team would fit right in in a satirical superhero universe like The Boys or Invincible.
My man got his design made out of a fucking whole omnitrix without all the cool features
