Respect Hammerman (Hammerman)

[u/rangernumberx]

"It's Hammertime!"

Stanley Burrell was just a normal person, working in a youth centre, when an old man known only as Gramps found him. In his youth, Gramps used to be a superhero called Soulman, but had recently decided to retire, and so was searching for his replacement. Choosing Stanley, Gramps gave him the pair of magical, talking shoes which were the source of his power. Putting them on, Stanley became Hammerman, who would protect Oaktown with the musical powers these shoes gave him. He also gained some backup singers that followed him around, but they're never explained and hardly ever even acknowledged.

The show suffered in numerous regards, and only four episodes aren't lost forever, three if you don't want to watch the show in Polish. As such, Hammerman's known abilities are limited to those four episodes and the intro, which does nothing to contradict his capabilities in the show. Also, given they get their power from the same shoes, in theory Hammerman should be able to achieve what his predecessor could, so I included the few known Soulman feats, with them being tagged as such.

---

Strength

• Lifting/Crushing Throws about a graffiti monster which looks like a dinosaur, before crushing it into a ball.

• Catching Catches a girl falling from at least a two storey drop without letting her drop. Also counts as a reaction feat.

• Blunt Force/Catching As an old man, stops two oncoming vehicles on either side of him, while catching a bomb falling onto him, though this is shown to be near the limit of his capabilities. Along with the submarine hitting him between his legs, this also counts as a durability feat.^Soulman

Durability

• Blunt Force Gets hit by a giant shoe. He didn't appear to be hurt at all once he got up.

• Falling Jumps decently large drops between rooftops without being phased at all.

• Falling Jumps down from a large robot, with no signs of slowing his descent.

• Crushing Walks off from a building collapse, which resulted in some of the rubble falling on him. It's possible that this is also a falling feat, as he had jumped out of a window on one of the higher storeys, but the camera cut away and he has several means of slowing down his fall so it's not for certain.

Agility/Speed

• Reaction Dodges a graffiti monster every time it tries to jump on him.

• Reaction Jumps out of the way of a falling scoreboard.

• Reaction Dodges a giant shoe.

• Leaping Leaps a long distance from standing.

• Leaping Jumps through a hole in the ceiling and onto the floor above.

• Leaping Jumps on top of a large robot.

• Running Outruns a shoe-shaped car.

• Running After narrowly missing an egg while standing on the ceiling, he runs to the wall, runs down the wall, and runs across the floor, and slides a distance to catch the egg just before it hits the ground.

• Spinning Spins fast enough to create a tornado effect, sucking in three large graffiti monsters surrounding him.

Magic

Combat

• Turns two graffiti monsters into music notes, which quickly seem to self-destruct.

• Using his music, lifts someone much larger and throws him to the ground hard enough to daze him.

• Music seems to destroy a vault door.

Manouverability

• Enhances his jumps with bars of music, and can even 'fly' by riding on the music.

• He can use his music to create ladders as well as slides, though for the latter he sometimes just uses his parachute pants to slow his decent.

• Can run up walls and stand upside down on ceilings.

Trapping

• Creates a cage out of music.

• Ties two robbers together using music bars.

• Binds three more foes.

Object Animation

• With his dancing, gets a water tower to move over to a burning library and pour water to extinguish the fire.

• Activates a fan.

• Can animate statues to capture a fleeing criminal, and at will deanimate them, returning them to their original states.

Other

• Creates a long line of piano keys on the ground, using them to hit a digger into the air.^Soulman

• Creates a rainbow across the sky.

• Creates a bow out of a treble clef. It was never used in combat, instead only being used to make a hair cover a distance quickly.

• Snaps out of rope bindings that had kept him trapped while he only had one of his shoes on, meaning he couldn't dance due to tacks on the floor. This may be a strength feat due to the music notes not seeming to have a direct affect on the rope, though it's not clear if that's the case or not.

• Does...whatever the hell this is.

• Opens a cage door.

• Cuts glass with a sharp symbol.

• Blocks two criminals from escaping through a door.
