TETSUOOOOO!

I did some Internet research. That is the correct pronunciation of TETSUOOOOO! I tried to do some research on Tetsuo's powers as well, but got distracted by Anime Music Videos splicing Akira clips with Korn and Linkin Park songs. I did manage to learn that Tetsuo is "a freak on a leash" and is also "crawling in my skin."

A few weeks ago I highlighted another power telekinetic, Mewtwo, and incorrectly stated that being a world class telekinetic was not enough on it's own to defeat Superman. Either I was gravely mistaken or Tetsuo drastically redefines what a "world class" telekinetic is. When you can use your telepathy to catch rockets and shield yourself from the ensuing explosions, that is world class. Telekinesis powerful enough to propel you into space and protect you from the vacuous non-atmosphere is world class. As an added plus, he also has the power to graft inorganic matter to his body in order to heal wounds. Could be handy. I am of the opinion that this power makes Tetsuo pretty much unbeatable, since once he deforms into that giant flesh monster he takes considerable damage with dying or relenting, though that point is debatable.

So Superman charges Tetsuo at full speed. All Tetsuo has to do is catch Superman mid-air rip his guts out from the inside...with his mind! Now, Tetsuo is fast enough and powerful enough to catch a rocket, but this doesn't necessarily make him fast and powerful enough to catch Superman. Doesn't really matter though, any damage Tetsuo should happen to sustain is repaired easily enough...with his mind! Seriously, Tetsuo got his arm blown off. Made a new one out of stuff lying around.

The hard part for Tetsuo is defeating Superman without turning into a gigantic, fleshy, organ monster. That thing freaks me right the fuck out!

Next Week: Merry Christmas!
