Default Using people as weapons vs using clothing as weapons

Which is more awesome? Which is more ridiculous? If you had the chance/capability, which would you wield?

While the exponentially growing cast of supporting character for Sonic boasts many, many stupid additions, I always kind of did like Big, the Cat. If for nothing else than he uses little girls as projectile weapons by using them as baseballs and his fishing pole as a bat.

Clothing tends to be more awesome, since wielding people usually prompts a laugh from people, causing the awesomeness of a feat to come second.

Using people tends to be more ridiculous, at least if they are literally wielded by the person, and not being used/commanded by the person.

And honestly, I would probably go with wielding people, if I can pick who I wield. That, and the strength needed to do so would probably put me at at least comic book peak human.

Which is more awesome?
People.

Which is more ridiculous?
People. Let's face it, people 'wear' chains and stuff, it doesn't require that much imagination to use clothes as weapons...


If you had the chance/capability, which would you wield?
probably clothes, as realistically, people cannot be effectively weilded as weapons.

Wait, what if the clothing in question is a person?

People as weapons, definitely.

Slapping someone around with a shirt or a belt can never compare to the shocking badassery of "Hold on while I bash you over the head with your buddy here".



Mark Dacascos does however deserve some serious style points for snatching people's shoes right from under them in mid-fight.

Is that THE Catman? as in, Secret Six Catman?

Obviously, it looks Pre Crisis, but I just thought he was a one off Batman villain, not popular enough to have his own series.

That looks downright Golden Age. Who knows? Maybe the current Catman was based off an earlier property which was reworked in the Silver Age/Bronze Age?
