I would love it if there were a superhero whose main focus was dealing with entitled white dudes in the weightlifting area of the gym. I would be all over that franchise.

oh. my god. I cannot tell you how badly I want such a thing.

@bright_helpings @AllysonShaw Hear me out: the super hero is a transmasc dude. Let's call him the Gentle Rat (a play on gym rat).

Gentle Rat teaches polite gym etiquette their parents failed them on. He shows up and his quirk is that he can only lift weights away from meatheads that aren't putting them down properly, or are leaving them around where they shouldn't, or are taking them without permission from someone who is still using them. Like he's got telekinesis, but only when it inconveniences cis white men being obnoxious. For funsies, Gentle Rat also can't be punched. If you try to punch Gentle Rat, the weight that was stolen from the entitled white dude instantly teleports in front of Gentle Rat's face, and the entitled white dude just punches a weight and has to leave to go to the hospital.

I might draw this, because I love the idea of a super hero who can't actually do anything other than put rude cis white men in their place, exclusively in gym type settings.
