In fact, this power-up is one that could have come in handy in the MCU. Or, at the very least, it would have turned the ‘interrogation scene’ in The Avengers from one filled with action/comedy to one of sheer terror.

While he started as a valiant warrior, Yamcha is generally regarded as having the biggest fall from grace of any Dragon Ball character: he was constantly overshadowed by Goku, unceremoniously blown up by a minor minion in Dragon Ball Z, and his girlfriend ended up marrying Vegeta. However, all this suffering and humiliation has been for a greater purpose.

Mostly, they look about the same, or they've clearly gotten older, but one character has stood out: Mai, a member of Pilaf's gang, was an adult woman... but in Super, she's a child again, closer in age to young Trunks. So how did that happen?

Across history, humans have found different ways to face down individual Yautja and emerge victorious, from the original Predator's Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to Prey's Naru (Amber Midthunder).
