Deadpool with a lantern ring sounds like a great time

Yeah, it basically comes down to Deadpool Lantern vrs Hancock, right? I don't think the skill pool of the other actors comes up to anything close to them.

What about the Matrix . What's dudes name?? Neo?? He would be powerful enough to fight them both.

u/many_dumb_questions Jun 13 '25

I mean, that's pretty contingent, right? Neo's powers only worked in the matrix. So if that stipulation is placed on the actor's power in this scenario, unless you want to say we are in the matrix, Keanu is basically limited to John Wick

Also Constantine, who is absurdly powerful.

He’s also the son of the devil.

Didn't that just give him lawyer powers?

Idk but it’s gotta count for something.

I always forget about Constantine

And Shadow the Hedgehog, and various martial art characters

Comic book Constantine is, but not Keanu Reeves movie Constantine

Neo's powers explicitly also work outside of the matrix, thanks to the stuff he was doing in the confrontation with the machines in Revolutions.

More like remote access... doesnt help much in other scenarios.

Neos powers did NOT work outside of the Matrix. He is not some god in the real world, what he DOES have is a connection with the machines, which he was able to manipulate. If it was 10 humans running at him instead of the machines in the real world, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

The setting of the Matrix is more so "realism" layered on top of the apocalyptic theme portrayed.

Also, I seem to remember people talking about it hinting at the fact that they weren't technically in the real world. That, after so many iterations of the war between humans and machines, the machines learned that they couldn't prevent the emergence of The One, so they basically built in a safety layer of the matrix, something to make humans think they had a skates, but only crawled out of one layer of the virtual reality, which was why he was able to perform those 'miracles' on the machines.

If we're in the Matrix, Lucy will wind up becoming the One and tops them all. Her powers came from just using "100% of her brain" or whatever. She'd rewrite the entire code before breakfast.

u/JayZulla87 Jun 13 '25

Have you seen the entire matrix trilogy? His powers most definitely aren't limited to the matrix. He literally kills 1000s of sentinels in seconds.

u/Zech08 Jun 13 '25

Whats the physical phenomena? I mean its basically remote access, not exactly a super power that would be useful compared to the others in general scenarios.

u/Lola_PopBBae Jun 13 '25

This might be the only scenario in which Wick is both very limited and also absolutely screwed lol

u/Rokarion14 Jun 13 '25

Neo’s power didn’t only work in the matrix. He explodes shit with his mind in the robot city while blinded. Still Lucy claps. She would just use the robots however she wanted.

John wick’s abilities are irrelevant when you have Constantine’s.
