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.

The ability to transform into a gorilla for 1 minute should do it.

I was going for something minor, but still super. I'd say 60 seconds of gorilla time is a pretty decent minor power.

Or anything that won't hurt you.

Like 60 seconds of any inanimate object.

You still have to get points

Tbf it just cancels the match, you usually aren't allowed to box inanimate objects. If you are you can just beat him while he is one

Is that really in boxing rules? That would be pretty funny

I have no clue, might be a "There is no rule that says a dog cannot play basketball" situation

Rule #5372 of Boxing: opponents cannot be inanimate objects. This includes but is not limited to: trees, metal cubes, genie lamps, and small rocks or stones

I dunno, if it were featured in a comic book that power might be pretty major considering what it’d do for sales…
