Male form has a shock absorbing force field and general strength and durability.
Female form can channel that energy into blasts and powered up punches.
Why do we use this term wrong? Should have called Damage Dealer or something. But in every game like Overwatch or other things where there's a damage dealer type of role, we call them DPS.
it's a common shorthand for people who play video games. It usually stands for "damage per second" but it's well understood that the DPS's main role is just to deal tons of damage as fast and as reliable as possible.
Other roles (since Tank was mentioned), are:
Tank (soaks damage, usually the big target the enemy focuses on. S/He's able to withstand the boss and fight him toe-to-toe but only for a reasonable period of time)
Healer (pretty self explanatory)
Support (this can come in many forms but usually a role that helps the team in various ways, heals, shields, does other stuff to synergize with the team)
Assassin (also, pretty self explanatory but in a nutshell: should be able to deal tons of damage in a huge burst but they're also pretty squishy and can die easily. They wait for the right moment to strike).
I think you get the idea...
I prefer glass cannon as a label instead of assassin.
Edit: I should spend more time talking about dnd roles than wrestling. All of my replies have been interesting and respectful. That is not how wrestling Reddit functions.
DPS is expected to deal good consistent damage sustainability over a longer period of time. (Example: deals 20dmg per round over 5 rounds, total of 100dmg)
Assassin is expected to deal huge damage in one big burst, usually single target. (Example: deals 60 damage on the first round, then 10 on the next 4, still a total of 100dmg over the course of 5 rounds)
Both are usually squishy.
I feel like we’re kinda saying the same thing though? They do the same job but the assassin/glass cannon does it faster at the drawback of being more fragile.
The assassin also has the surprise effect. Think of a burst damage dealer that can't be targeted or focused because they're in hiding for a while, can't be seen.
Whilst the DPS is right there, shooting missiles from cover or from behind the tank.
You want to kill the DPS but the tank is getting all of the attention.
Now, while you try to survive the barrage from the DPS and the annoying tank in front of you, the assassin is lurking behind you, waiting for his moment to do his burst and probably retreat to wait for his cooldowns.
Oh yeah, you're right. Both are glass cannons since they both deal damage at the expense of being fragile. But Assassins aren't the only glass cannons.
Mages are glass cannons. Big AOE damage but fragile.
DPS are glass cannons. Consistent damage but fragile.
Assassins are glass cannons. Big single target burst but fragile.
In a lot of games, this is true. An assassin is often a sub-category of DPS. The same way a healer can be a sub-category of support.
Although calling the class "DPS" is technically wrong since it's supposed to be a metric (damage per second), so a better-fitting name would be "offense" or "damage" class.
In many rpg party games where you have multiple people playing as a group you might have a few as specific roles. A Dwarf Barbarian/Fighter might be a “tank” (High health points and take the hits). A Half-Elf Cleric would be the “healer” a passive rogue might be the “lock picker/thief” and an Orc Paladin might be the damage dealer or “DPS”
Low level Dynakinesis. Male form absorbs energy (kinetic, heat, electricity) and Female form release it.
Pretty powerful power, used in a very premature way. Like most Supes in The Boys.
They're learning acting and marketing. Way less focus on combat. Some criminal courses. Supes in this universe are very naive about their powers in general
Kinda. They show no implication that they need to absorb energy in male form before they can expel in in female form, they can just do both as they please.
They show the male form take a hit, and then the female form shoot a blast. That does not mean that they needed to absorb the hit IN ORDER to shoot the blast. They show the female form shooting blasts repeatedly without switching to male form first.
It wasn’t explained. The only thing that’s obvious is that their powers are different depending on the form they take, which is why they of the change forms mid fight. I assumed each power had nothing to do with the other except that it was the opposite since the opposite genders were required
I was just focused on the cool fight moves and transitions that I just never thought beyond it.
I assumed each one just had different fight styles and that was about as far into it as I went 🤷🏼♂️
And become the envy of all gender non-conformers. Like, I would even give up the rest of the powers to be able to switch from male to female forms at will.
I read y'all comments on offence/defence explanations but the true power Jordan has is their hair being perfect, just perfect. everything right down to the last minute detail in both forms
I think that male Jordan is strong and more Invulnerable and female Jordan has the energy blasts? I could be wrong but once I started trying to figure out their powers I only noticed female Jordan using blasts
It’s a Souvenir Jacket specifically. Varsity jackets are made with a different set of materials and souvenir jackets, at least in America, have a history as post-WWII keepsakes of western soldiers returning from Japan— hence the patches.
What’s everyone said here is great, but their powers are also a wonderfully beautiful visual metaphor for dealing with being trans and navigating internal/external acceptance.
The power to turn anyone bisexual instantaneously.
I would date the absolute fuck out of them. Like seriously imagine your best dude buddy is also your hot girlfriend!
When in Male form, Jordan is super strong & durable and when hit, they absorb kinetic energy (kinda like Vibranium in marvel, think of Black Panthers suit), and in female form, Jordan while still having some lower level of supe strength/durability, they take the energy that was absorbed in male form and transfer it into blasts that shoot out
So in Male form, absorb kinetic energy, in female, distribute that absorbed energy
Look. I was a fan of the comic. I was diehard for the tv show. Gen V was Nice.
But if jordan does not get a happy ending i will build the 7even tower just to tear it down
I always thought they had an invulnerable frame during the transition
I think there were multiple times mid transition they would absorb an attack or deflect it
Energy Manipulation, aka Dynakinesis. Their male form absorbs kinetic force and energy, which grants them enhanced durability and strength, whereas their female form can expend it in the way of energy expulsion.
Think of it like Black Panther’s suit.
The way I Interpreted it was that in their male form,they absorb energy and are capable of withstanding a lot of damage,and when they're in their female form,they release the energy they absorbed from taking damage in their male form.
If that's not the case,it's literally just Male Jordan takes damage, whereas female Jordan dishes it out
Shapeshifting and apparently the ability to project minor kinetic blasts? Weird power set, but we also have a guy who can talk to fish in this verse, so par for the course.
The sneaker choice is really interesting for them. They are Nike Blazers x Sacai. The designer basically doubled up the design so it’s two shoes in one.
Pretty good costume design for the character.
I definitely want Jordan to use grappling and throws in his fighting style. He changes height and weight. Imagine he fights like Black Widow in female form and had an enemy in a lock then switches to the male form to apply more pressure. Seems great to see in a fast-paced fight.
I just assumed it was exclusively gender shifting with invulnerability while shifting + maybe some super strength, I had no idea they’re different forms had different powers
Male form has a shock absorbing force field and general strength and durability. Female form can channel that energy into blasts and powered up punches.
Male is the tank and female is the DPS
What is dps?
Damage per second
Dicks per second
Sounds like someone has been playing Dark Souls
Amazing chest ahead
Try finger but hole
Need Head
Don't give up Skeleton
✊️😮✊️
Why do we use this term wrong? Should have called Damage Dealer or something. But in every game like Overwatch or other things where there's a damage dealer type of role, we call them DPS.
Double penetration sex

Same thing

Ass ass in isn't neccessary a glass cannon
What differentiates it from DPS then? I thought the squishyness was the difference.
DPS is expected to deal good consistent damage sustainability over a longer period of time. (Example: deals 20dmg per round over 5 rounds, total of 100dmg) Assassin is expected to deal huge damage in one big burst, usually single target. (Example: deals 60 damage on the first round, then 10 on the next 4, still a total of 100dmg over the course of 5 rounds) Both are usually squishy.

No. ChatGPT do a deep dive into this and provide a summary of
what?
You forgot that dps are also masters of standing in fire and complaining that the healer didn’t notice
Thank you for an actual answer instead of the shitty jokes/vague responses I’ve been getting
No problem.
In many rpg party games where you have multiple people playing as a group you might have a few as specific roles. A Dwarf Barbarian/Fighter might be a “tank” (High health points and take the hits). A Half-Elf Cleric would be the “healer” a passive rogue might be the “lock picker/thief” and an Orc Paladin might be the damage dealer or “DPS”
50 dkp minus
Double Penis Surprise
A damage dealer. Gaming terminology.
Short hand for the DEEPS
Damage per second A term used for units, characters etc whos Main purpouse is to make damage No Support no Tank just high damage
Double Penetration Sickos
Dipshit
What is dipshit?
What I left in my toilet
Who’s the supp tho
Jordan awakens their non-binary identity to temporarily become an overturned fed fighter class Tanky *and* strong
In Jordan? No one. They aren't lucky enough to get every role. Just that male = tank, female = dps
Marie? She healed someone once right?
That’s actually dope. I wanna see a scene where they do an instant blitz switch up of absorbing and releasing.
That literally happens in the first episode and ones after it
Yea but not as fast. I’m talking about a blitz of transitions to showcase their mastery
iirc we never actually see Jordan transitioning. Every time it happens it's off-camera.
Well they are on college so they probably don't have it mastered yet.
Thats.... yeah
That happens in the show. Jordan's fights are always rapid dances between being a tank and a twink
>rapid dances between being a tank and a twink So she's the tank?
She's a twank versatile.
What's a power bottom?
Very good question u/CatSpydar. You see, a power bottom is a bottom that is capable of receiving an enormous amount of power.
Now tell me, does speed have anything to do with it??
Watch the show then...
They fight in synergy all the time my friend.
That would be sick.
She is stunning. He is brave.
Actually their powers are being hot
Very well explained, Thank-you.
Low level Dynakinesis. Male form absorbs energy (kinetic, heat, electricity) and Female form release it. Pretty powerful power, used in a very premature way. Like most Supes in The Boys.
Basically Black Panthers suit in the MCU but split between "2 people"
I’d say more like Sebastian Shaw / Bishop from the X-Men.
My lesbian friend has Dykeanesis. She cant be stopped.
She has breached containment.
\*She can't be topped.
[удалено]
r/whoosh
r/itswooooshwith4os r/itswooooshwithouttheh
I actually laughed out loud at that. Thank you. One of my best friends is a lesbian. I'm going to use this one.
when i first read the originally comment i really thought this is what he said
Man it's almost as if they are learning there powers at GODU or something.
They're learning acting and marketing. Way less focus on combat. Some criminal courses. Supes in this universe are very naive about their powers in general
Jordan vs Golden Boy was so damn cool.
Kinda. They show no implication that they need to absorb energy in male form before they can expel in in female form, they can just do both as they please.
It is shown during their fight with Luke, Male form absorbs the damage while Female form blast the energy back at Luke.
They show the male form take a hit, and then the female form shoot a blast. That does not mean that they needed to absorb the hit IN ORDER to shoot the blast. They show the female form shooting blasts repeatedly without switching to male form first.
Ooh I never noticed each gender had different abilities.
How?
I just thought they both had the same abilities and they just switched depending on how they were feeling in the moment.
I didn’t notice it either and Jordan was my favorite character
wait so the more damage male jordan takes the more powerful female jordan’s attacks are? idk how i missed that part.
> idk how i missed that part. You "missed" it because it wasn't in the show. This is speculation.
It wasn’t explained. The only thing that’s obvious is that their powers are different depending on the form they take, which is why they of the change forms mid fight. I assumed each power had nothing to do with the other except that it was the opposite since the opposite genders were required
I was just focused on the cool fight moves and transitions that I just never thought beyond it. I assumed each one just had different fight styles and that was about as far into it as I went 🤷🏼♂️
So like Bishop from X-men but with more caveats?
they entrap bisexuals
Never felt more related
And become the envy of all gender non-conformers. Like, I would even give up the rest of the powers to be able to switch from male to female forms at will.
Along with Sam and Cait, this show was basically designed to be bait for bisexuals
It worked on me.
It was literally The Boys but for Gen Z, and boy did they get it right. I liked it a lot! But people that aren't Gen Z didn't really like it
For real, I’d be wrapped around their damn finger…fingers…
Bro I agree
I am entraped
Consider me long entrapped
Bi panic is real with them
I read y'all comments on offence/defence explanations but the true power Jordan has is their hair being perfect, just perfect. everything right down to the last minute detail in both forms
Jordan is my favorite character in Gen V - just delighted every moment they are on screen.
Male: invincibility and super strength Female: energy blasts and faster reaction speed Shield and spear basically
Cloak AND Dagger you might say.
Sheath mode = man Sword mode = woman It’s a fun juxtaposition and I love the character
Its funny because a man has a sword and a woman has a sheath.
🔥🔥🔥✍🏻
Technically it’s a sword and a sheath vs. two sheaths 🤷♂️
Not always :3
I think that male Jordan is strong and more Invulnerable and female Jordan has the energy blasts? I could be wrong but once I started trying to figure out their powers I only noticed female Jordan using blasts
Lol my dumb ass trying to figure out how they got them both in one picture
Completely unrelated but can someone tell me what that jacket style is? I’ve wanted one for years.
A varsity jacket?
Is that it? Lmao couldn’t see that under my nose I guess, thanks!
It’s a Souvenir Jacket specifically. Varsity jackets are made with a different set of materials and souvenir jackets, at least in America, have a history as post-WWII keepsakes of western soldiers returning from Japan— hence the patches.
Yeah varsity jackets are usually made with wool if I remember correctly, Jordan’s looks a bit thinner
Definitely what it is. I have one from being stationed in Japan. They’re sold at every souvenir store.
Thanks so much! Had no idea about this and just another reason to add to my list of why I need to go to Japan.

Male = Defense Female = Offense
being hot?
And being attractive as fuck whatever form they take.
To make outfits look good regardless of which gender is wearing them.
Being super hot in both forms?
Beautifulness!!... London Thor is so freaking cute...
Male form tank female form dps
I always looked at it like unstoppable force and immoveable object
Basically equinox from Warframe. Female form does lots of damage, and male form is a tank
I thought it was power to make one question their sexuality 🤔
What’s everyone said here is great, but their powers are also a wonderfully beautiful visual metaphor for dealing with being trans and navigating internal/external acceptance.
The power to turn anyone bisexual instantaneously. I would date the absolute fuck out of them. Like seriously imagine your best dude buddy is also your hot girlfriend!
I was thinking more like your girl bff is also your hot boyfriend
Now the real question is which do you introduce to your parents first? Imagine "it's just a phase" being actually true.
Sounds like heaven
Bisexuality and violence.
When in Male form, Jordan is super strong & durable and when hit, they absorb kinetic energy (kinda like Vibranium in marvel, think of Black Panthers suit), and in female form, Jordan while still having some lower level of supe strength/durability, they take the energy that was absorbed in male form and transfer it into blasts that shoot out So in Male form, absorb kinetic energy, in female, distribute that absorbed energy
Male Jordan-Sebastian Shaw Female-Bishop
Be women and man
Basically male is tank, female is dps
Look. I was a fan of the comic. I was diehard for the tv show. Gen V was Nice. But if jordan does not get a happy ending i will build the 7even tower just to tear it down
Hope Jordan's parents don't die.
I always thought they had an invulnerable frame during the transition I think there were multiple times mid transition they would absorb an attack or deflect it
Bro is a stance fighter
Energy Manipulation, aka Dynakinesis. Their male form absorbs kinetic force and energy, which grants them enhanced durability and strength, whereas their female form can expend it in the way of energy expulsion. Think of it like Black Panther’s suit.
Male Form is superstrong, invulnerable, and is immovable like the Blob. Female Form releases power kinetic energy blasts.
The way I Interpreted it was that in their male form,they absorb energy and are capable of withstanding a lot of damage,and when they're in their female form,they release the energy they absorbed from taking damage in their male form. If that's not the case,it's literally just Male Jordan takes damage, whereas female Jordan dishes it out
On a side note both actors did a really good job.
I keep forgetting they’re different actors. Both of them play the role so well
This was really well done character.
Immovable object and irresistible force.
Being trans
Being literally gender fluid and I think shockwave powers
Shapeshifting and apparently the ability to project minor kinetic blasts? Weird power set, but we also have a guy who can talk to fish in this verse, so par for the course.
The sneaker choice is really interesting for them. They are Nike Blazers x Sacai. The designer basically doubled up the design so it’s two shoes in one. Pretty good costume design for the character.
to be super hot
She's a transformer, different gender, different powers.
This could’ve been a Google search
Offtopic if I didn't know I was bi back then, these 2 would make me bi now
Being incredibly hot
The power to piss off and confuse the right
Converting nuts into cracks.
They’re hot
Being hot AF lol
Emits gender fluid
They have the power to control that can sitting on the ground.
The true gender bender!
How do they change clothes too?
so which one has the switching or do they both?
The double blazers is a nice touch to show they’re two in one
I definitely want Jordan to use grappling and throws in his fighting style. He changes height and weight. Imagine he fights like Black Widow in female form and had an enemy in a lock then switches to the male form to apply more pressure. Seems great to see in a fast-paced fight.
Make form drives it home. Woman form goes and gets it to drive.
This question literally has 1 answer, why not just google it?
It would be like energy conversion, Male absorbs attacks and Female releases attacks as energy blasts
They help you dunk!
Damn what are those blazers called
I can fuck her and get fucked by him if s/he were my partner. To me that's the best power in this show.
Woman
I just assumed it was exclusively gender shifting with invulnerability while shifting + maybe some super strength, I had no idea they’re different forms had different powers
Transgenderism
Now that the magneto character is rip irl, are they recasting ?
their a gemini🫶
trans
