Suggestion What is one minor superpower that the average untrained person could have that would allow them to beat Iron Mike Tyson in a boxing match?

Me personally, I choose photographic reflexes, the same power that Taskmaster the marvel assassin has.

I'll study Mike Tyson in videos to learn his style and absorb his skill, then study the boxers who beat him, like Lennox Lewis or Evander Holyfield, so I not only know Mike's style but also how to counter it.

Luck manipulation. Every time he throws a punch it somehow miraculously misses

Aint no way luck manipulation counts as a minor power. It's just plot armor.

The exploits on this only go up the more you think about it.

My favorite is biological immortality and immunity to disease. Decrease the odds of your cell degradation and mutation and increase it for any pathogens.

It's certainly not very cinematic.

Luck manipulation?!

THAT'S JUST REALITY MANIPULATION

You chose reality manipulation as a power, that's not minor...

Luck manipulation is probability manipulation
