Anyone got a favorite series featuring a toon force user or reality bender? I'd like to see something gritty where they struggle with the depths of their powers, or where other characters struggle to come to grips with such an OP character. I read through Lobo/Mask a while ago, thought it was pretty good
I've always thought it'd be neat to see a story about a normal human becoming a reality bender via some weird freak incident, then just not being able to handle it. I mean, the human mind is great and all but I seriously doubt it was capable of handling actual omnipotence. Like, you have Doctor Manhattan and the kid from Chronicle who kind of do this, but I'd like to see it taken a step further. After all, these characters are still in control of themselves, they may change but their base control functions are still intact, as are their mental walls. When you have the powers of a god rushing through your body, who's to say that you don't just erode those mental walls you construct for yourself? Who's to say the powers of a god wouldn't actually completely obliterate what you call "sanity", leaving you a gibbering pile of infinite power?

I had a similar idea, but rather than dedicating it to the mental collapse of the user, just showing his/her perspective.
For example, the mask grabs a giant hammer out of thin air. How would this look from the first person view? Maybe the mask can see and can interact with every single dimension simultaneously, so when he grabs the hammer out of thin air, he's really just grabbing it from a dimension where the hammer is right there in front of him. How would this infinite stack of dimensions look to the toon user?
A cool scene would be to show the toon user sitting somewhere in the park or something, looking normal enough, this would be the perspective of the outside viewer. the next panel would show the same scene from the perspective of the toon user, where the landscape is constantly flowing streams of impossible geometry, some sort of incomprehensible hellish landscape.
This is one of my favorit super powers.

So Coconut Fred?

Is that actually the premise of Coconut Fred? I honestly don't know anything about it.

Nah, it's a Spongebob rip-off with a protagonist that takes toon force to actual reality bending levels, and it's often joked that he's some kind of insane god.

sorry, I know I said series but I'd prefer comics if anyone's got those

Slapstick?
>>87468920
Slapstick, both the original and the new one.
Multiversity has Captain Carrot and his mastery of cartoon physics.
If it's straight up reality benders you want, try the Jasper's Warp arc of Captain Britain?I don't know how casual you are, sorry

thanks I'll check out slapstick first
last comic I read was uncanny x-force so that probably makes me pretty casual
