CRWBY has never really had the ability to create new fighting abilities out of nowhere and make them useful like what Hirohiko Araki seems to be able to do with stands. Hell, even the semblances Monty came up with were pretty basic, and the all powerful Maidens were just “control the elements” shit straight out of Avatar.
He's the World's Greatest Defective.
Seemed to me like it had something to do with echolocation. We see him do this in the comic
I thought that at first, but later in the 4th issue, he re-states that his semblance has something to do with 'seeing patterns' and 'unlocking puzzles' when they're doing the roll call and explain of everyone's abilities. Oh yeah, this is also where Bruce reveals that his weapon is a battle axe. Why? Was it just for the bat pun?
There's also Amaya from The Dragon Prince. Complete badass.
Not really surprising given how the writers blamed Ironwood's behavior on his Semblance that was only explained in a Zoom recording.
They could have just... Not given super powers to the dude who's kinda known for being the normal (by DC standards) human among God-like figures
No he's going to have super autism, and he's going to like it
But can he weaponize it?
Isn't that Ironwood's semblance?
Naw, Ironwoods semblance is being the only straight man among morons.
Because the writers weren't creative enough to give him a cool weapon that fits in with the melee/ranged switch mode that RWBY weapons have combined with something that Batman uses. it doesn't need to be a gun. He could have curved knuckledusters attached to a wrist mechanism allowing him to either fight in melee, launch them like batarangs or fire them off with a piton and grappling wire like the grapnel gun for mobility.
Actually the Flash comic already came out a day or two ago. It’s up on ComiXology for 99 cents. And it got Storytimed on 4chan’s /RWBYg/ yesterday.
Are you sure it isn't unintentionally altering his own perception so everyone thinks he's insane?
Its a pretty shitty theme then since both Raven and Ironwood make most of the correct decisions and every time the main cast goes against them they end up making things worse.
"My daddy never loved me"
"I always sit down when I pee."
The only real theme this show has bothered to commit to from an intentional standpoint was carrying on in the face of adversity.
I’ll give you Ironwood, but Raven? The bitch that dumped her husband with their child and left? The bitch that went to hang out with bandits to rob villages and give no shits when Grimm attack the remains? The bitch that murdered a child for power? The bitch who had no qualms helping people destroy a kingdom and murder her brother and daughter?
