Can anyone post pictures of comic characters using the Karate chop or in the Karate stance please? It's for a post for SoD.

Well, there are probably better pictures, but this might be the first cover appearance of a Karate chop.

What is the Karate stance?

The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu (http://www.comics.org/covers.lasso?SeriesID=2161) cover gallery has a lot of great picture, but perhaps not what you are looking for.

I thought of Karnak from the Inhumans but couldn't find any good poses online.

There are two common stances.

Neko Ashi Dachi (Cat Paw)

Zenkutsu Dachi (Forward Stance)

even though all forms of Karate are different, these two stances are universal.

Of course to a grappler like me, the stances are called "Lunch" & "Dinner". :D
