Hmm. I wonder how effective Sumo would be as a martial art for people with super toughness. As a combat form it emphasizes control, positioning, and stability, instead of the blocks and evasion that other martial arts focus on.
It seemed to work fine for
Sonny Sumo, the man with the anti-life equation in his head.
I didn't know dc had supernatural martial artists? I mean marvel has iron fist etc. anybody got any names I can look up?
O-Sensei lived to the age of 150 years thanks to martial arts training.
Sensei from the Human Race, either from enlightenment and/or supernatural martial arts, basically has soul fu.
Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt's monastic training included how to unlock such feats as biofeedback, telepathy, clairvoyance, and telekinesis. In Kingdom Come, his powers made him superfast as well.
Karate Kid in Legion of Superheroes, despite supposedly not having any superpowers, has won in combat against kryptonians and daxamites. He can also sense the weak points in objects (to break metal with his bare hands), and has some control over his body, and resisting mind control. Can also dodge lasers and lightning, but perhaps that's just from living in a comic book.
Richard Dragon has demonstrated some chi powers, I understand, using the Dragon's claw as a focus.
Judomaster in L.A.W. basically hadn't aged in the last 50 years and was able to "will himself" out of restraints.
But yes, considering how many characters DC has, they obviously aren't too fond of supernatural martial arts over there.
i felt a bit bad for talia until i remembered she over a hundred years old mass murderer and then i felt life imprisonment seems pretty darn fair considering she has had chances over the years to give it up.
Did Zoat make her older and I failed to notice? The year 2069 is a bit of time away.
Oh I guess I should explain the joke- Talia was conceived at Woodstock in the comics
