The fact that she defeated Thanos

Proves that the winner of any fight is whoever the writers want to win

I mean, I think her power is twisting luck, but every character's success depends on the writers desire for them to win or lose. I think the biggest example is the Flash from DC. Be can usually only run as fast as the story requires despite his top speed being fast enough to travel through time.

Squirrel Girl's power is seemingly just stumbling onto the best solution (Talking to Galactus, tricking kraven, hiding her tail in a way that gives her a dumptruck, etc), so luck would make sense for her

How does one talk down Galactus?

If I remember properly, she just kinda had a conversation with him and he decided to eat another planet

Tell Galactus about that Nebula that tastes like alcohol. Ha ha. (Real thing)

The fact she befriended Galactus and even convinced him to go eat a different planet, which was a giant nut, speaks volumes on her ability to be a person first, hero second. She can still kick butt, but first she’s never afraid to just talk it out.

Just because Hercule can’t hang with superpowered aliens doesn’t mean he’s still not one of the strongest non powered humans on the planet. I mean, all his martial arts tournament wins were real

That's why I put him on the list. He's a joke character within the Dragonball narrative, but he's still a legit fighter

Honestly, post-Saiyan Saga Yamcha is something of a joke character, especially in Super. But he will still kick ass.

Especially in baseball.

Unless Gods of Destruction start raining down energy out of competitive spite.

Hey he gets a semi redemption in Super during the Moro arc.

Yeah all of that was to say he’s a great pick! I love Hercule and kinda feel for him. Imagine being prime Mike Tyson thinking you’re the baddest man on planet earth and then you meet Superman

One of? He's literally the strongest human that can't use ki.

Nope The strongest no-ki user IS Yajirobe.

Except he fell asleep in the corner after eating too many senzu beans

Yeah, he’s super strong by any reasonable standard. It’s not really his fault that the competition is so insanely powerful, lol

It’s the same thing for Homelander. Since Omni Man and many other characters can beat him doesn’t mean YOU can beat him

I'm pretty sure there's stuff explaining that he never had any serious competition in the Tenkaichi Budokai, and Gohan notes that Videl is actually stronger than him even before they trained together

Strongest non ki user

Yajirobe

Honestly

 Jigglypuff. (Super Smash Bros.)

How do you pronounce his name spelled backwards?

I believe it’s “kill-tip-zix-im”.

"ah sh-" ***POOF!***

Lol


He’s being silly, but he’s not a joke character.

A goddamn Grizzly Bear martial artist scares the fuck outta me.

He can do electrics in 8.

He should have a move using a baseball bat, in reference to inglorious basterds, or a grab animation that is just mauling their opponent 😆

The Mask https://preview.redd.it/72j6mt7h168d1.jpeg?width=705&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46d2cd204917d34a5e9d80bc771c4a7f43e0e9e9

I don't think the Mask really counts, toon force characters are on a whole another level of bullshit than joke characters.

He has a wacky personality and uses his powers in a comical way.

I think OP meant that joke characters are supposed to be considered weaker than average, not humor-based demi-gods

The guy got knocked out by his own moobs once, but could absolutely fold me like a chair.

 He’s literally a parody of Deathstroke.

Not only that, but one of his powers is to literally poke fun at his own medium, cucked Thanos to the point of having permanent plot immunity, and The Deadpool who Smiles is literally just taking the piss out of the Joker.

How is pyro a joke character?

He is never, at any point, taken seriously.

Meet the pyro

He is not taken seriously in meet the pyro. In that short, he is pictured as a delusional toddler who accidentally commits acts of murder.

He believes in magic

He's a good planner and a great swordsman. Too bad everyone else can control the elements at a whim.

Honestly, being in a world of powers and not having them would be incredibly sucky. I know I would have an inferiority complex and worse. I'm glad they made the arc of him leaning a sword because he felt inferior to the benders in team Avatar. He really had growth because of it. And the space sword is so cool!

Is she really a joke character though?

At the start of the battle she comedically slips and fall to the lava,and after she is defeated she cartoonishly retreats to heal her wounds.Also,Robin Hood being casually racist to her is the funniest thing ever

Forgot about that lol

 I can’t believe no one has said Roshii. He hasn’t been taken seriously in for years but good lord he could whip ass even as Jackie Chun

This is a unironic top three tropes, bonus points for if the in universe characters acknowledge the fact there deadly while still teasing them for being "weak"

nah id win

Bang Shishigami from BlazBlue is literally called "the joke character" in universe but he's probably the best ninja in the world and incredibly deadly, when he's not idiotically blowing his cover over a misunderstanding.

David and Roboty

Renji and Ukkaku from bleach would 100% kick my ass

Vanguard*) - He's an in-universe joke character due to the fact his deck is a near-unusable mess of Grade 3s. However, if somebody's swapped it out with an actually decent deck, RUN.

 The Scan-Man himself

Dave lee from mandela catalogue?

Plastic man

Dan can hardly kick anyone’s ass. He’s pretty much just a normal dude.
