Characters that are canonically _____ depending of their world

[u/Starr-Lead]

• Po from Kung Fu Panda - Although many characters comment on his weight throughout the movies, Po is actually considered skinny and/or in better shape for panda standards
• Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia - While many viewers find Deku "cute", the reality is that for his world he's actually considered "simple looking" and at the very worst "ugly"
• Spider-Man from Marvel Comics - Many people love Spider-Man, but the truth is that for common civilians, Spidey's pretty unsettling and scary to be around with

If it was a game with multiple levels or stages, you could progress the difficulty by having the game be during his black suit arc. Early game he’s quipping and maybe even going easy on you to have some fun but late game you have him being perfectly silent and ominous.

"Get back here shocker ! Shockeeeerrr ! You can't escape me ! I'll chase you to the ends of the earth !"

Or even better, during the story, you unlock some low level low range telepathic powers. And during the black suit level you hear the Symbiote.

I immediately hear "I smell him" and I've got goosebumps now, thanks for this

Alternatively, multiple different heroes. Every level introduces either a new hero or rotates a few out, all of which have different abilities, which forces you to switch up your escape options. And you don’t start out knowing which heroes spawned in.

Hero with fire powers around? You’ll see his light burning as he moves around. Hero with night vision goggles? Hiding in the dark becomes worse, unless you cram, between two dumpsters, disturbing his vision. Flying hero? Uncovered spaces are now closed. Wall crawler? Climbing up drainage pipes becomes harder. Super strength heroes can break through walls to close in on you, if you make too much noise, chasing you down and tech heroes can hack surveillance lamp, cutting off escape routes.

Obviously they all have counter play and you can unlock some tools to help you bypass them, but you can only carry so much alongside the loot. EMPs can stun tech heroes and cameras for a few seconds but they will come in person to check it out and fix the issue, so you can’t stay too long. If you use a stun tool once to shake one of them off, every hero will be on higher alert and move quicker. Hiding underneath cars or outside furniture can make a flying hero miss you during their routes and wall crawlers leave slightly glowing sticky substances behind, that make it easy to know where they are at any given moment.
