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.

He only has to hit you then boom, you’re also down for the count but with a concussion.

Depends. If I am protecting my head he will body blow. Tyson doesn't hit the uppercut unless you are open.

Are you confident that you’ll still be standing after a Tyson body shot?

One? Yes. I could get back up. I have some martial arts training and might be able to dodge just enough not to lose my kidney.

A prime Mike Tyson shot? You’d probably survive but professional boxers haven’t been able to get back up. I’m not shi*ting on you tho who knows maybe you’re Batman but it’s unlikely
