Can people stop pretending like Lightning has ever actually been strong in terms of any actual feats? She can't do anything more than Cloud or most middle of the road FF protags can do by default, and no, she is not an actual god, her Etro powers were temporary and only extended to collecting souls which is literally nothing in terms of actual battle power or skills. She didn't even kill Bhunivelze either in LR and had to use the power of every remaining soul combined to even subdue him, something she could only possibly do once using a temporary power to gather souls and which again, didn't even kill Bhunivelze. As a l'Cie she is just doing basic ass magic and sword swings and that's all you ever do in both XIII-2 and LR with her too, her powerset is basic as it gets, even Onion Knight or Bartz have a more varied powerset.

They seem to be pulling from this part of his powerset, maybe if they revisit the multiverse we’ll see him show up

I'd be really surprised if they make him something other than a sneak type killer like Ghostface or Myers I'm just a little bummed about how they captured Springtrap's powerset in his release 🫥

Kind of. If you're REALLY curious, people often think that a Mary Sue is the author's self-insert, but it's not necessary for them to be. It just comes across that way because, essentially, too many GOOD things happen to the character, and not enough (or not ANY) BAD things. A Mary Sue is a character who is treated by the narrative as almost completely untouchable and unbeatable. Their analysis of a situation is always correct, even if it sounds like total bullshit and other members in the cast are offering far more reasonable interpretations (think Dr. House). Whenever bad things happen to them, it's either very limited in significance, or the effects are only temporary. This includes DYING, which is why people often assume a Mary-Sue is the author's self-insert. It at LEAST demonstrates an unmistakable favoritism. (think Zero from the MegaMan series, and how many times HE'S died and come back) And finally, and most noticably, the Mary-Sue character is often simply more effective than everyone else in the story at doing what needs to be done. In stories that involve a lot of detective work, they'll be the smartest one and figure out the badguy's true identity before everyone else even has a clue. In stories with a lot of fighting they'll have an incredibly busted powerset or just be much stronger than any other hero (think Captain Marvel. The female one). It's also especially telling if the character is specifically advertised as being better at doing X thing than "popular hero who is known for X thing" (think how Moon Girl is often advertised nowadays as being even smarter than Tony Stark and Reed Richards). The problem with a Mary Sue is that they run into the issue of having no real flaws, and if they DO have flaws they are insignificant to the story. The most important thing about Mary Sues is that they are almost always a mistake, and not intentional. Writers will write such a character out of genuine reverence and narcissism, and be completely unaware of how such a character completely dilutes any tension in the story. After all, how could evil possibly win when the goodguys have Mary Sue on their side? Well, you have to chain down the Mary Sue in ways that don't make sense for the way the character was established. In other words, to create tension in a story with a Mary Sue, you have to be a bad writer, and write a bad story.
Is that real?

Invincible is bad in that regard. Everyone is Superman but without his unique powers like laser vision and freeze breath. Atom Eve has the most creative powerset and uses them to make pink glass.

not killing someone with that powerset is like fighting someone hand to hand with a shotgun as your sword

the issue with rivals on the other hand is they have to modify a chars powerset to fit their role sometimes i think like ow tanks are easy to spot but some chars roles are more defined by the charecter they are, they where not designed to be hero shooter chars they where made to

None of them care about sam as falcon; all his falcon books get discontinued and not of these fans were asking for falcon in marvel avengers or tokon, they dont even know that sam has a better powerset as cap.

If ur excuse is individuality, uniqueness, or communication, he doesn't lose his personality or powerset as a cap, and people can just use sam and steve's first names

Tobey’s Peter started losing the webs when he began wanting to spend more time as Peter. It wasn’t until he continuously ignored that feeling that the whole powerset went away. I think I’m onto smth here
Organic webbing being a physical reaction to Peter’s overwhelming focus on Spider-Man suggests Tobey Maguire’s Peter never found that balance

ehh...she looks kinda better without it... it would have healed anyway according to her powerset

Powerset has been decided. What exact powers and gadgets he will or won't have, I'm still working on, but he will be an octopus. Now all that's left is the name, which I've got some ideas for but nothing too strong yet.

Also how tf her powerset would fit in what we know about this movie?

Again, she can shield, she can push and pull people and she can make others invisible, that's a very strategist coded powerset if you ask me

I know the definition of "cosmic" is very loose, but taking into consideration her powerset in that comic and the vagueness in the interview anyway, I'd argue they can definitely be considered interplanetary threats.
