Platform: TIKTOK Author: @nickainsworth --- Caption/Description --- Who do you get 🧐 #fyp #viral #dc #superheroes #dchero --- Audio Transcript (What was said) --- I seen this today. It says Search DC Hero and the first one that pops up describes you. Okay, first you have to answer what hero you wanted to be, and Donnie wanted to be firestorm. Without a doubt one of the most underrated heroes in all of DC Comics. I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you and say I know a lot about this character other than the irreparable damage I was inflicting on people and injustice too. But the brother has the ability to transmute nuclear energy on an atomic level. All I can say is that he is a hero that you do not want to play with whatsoever. Who Donnie thought he would get is Dick Grayson's Nightwing. One of the best looking characters in DC. One of the few bat family character designs that just never misses. Don't even get me started about the time he became superwing. Even his Batman suit goes hard. But maybe I'm glazing. But who he actually got was John Stewart's Green Lantern. Nice. When I say undoubtedly one of the most powerful Green Lanterns of all time, John, on multiple occasions, has reached a level of power that no other Green Lantern can comprehend, trust, and believe he is just as cool in the absolute universe. So let's try this out. If I wanted one hero to describe me out of every character in DC, and I'd have to go with Superboy Prime. Please tell me I'm Not the only person who wants to throw reality shattering punches at my opponent. Like, is there a cooler attack in all of these see comics? Imagine being able to punch somebody as strong as Superman out of the comic. Makes him 10 times better. Is not only does he like to read comics, he's cognizant that he's in one, so he's constantly breaking the fourth wall. And at my number two pick, it has to be Gold. Amazo from the DCAU. This dude was the best character in that show. Brother could copy any ability he laid h
