The Powerscalers Found Sportacus: He's A Beast

[@kingsmithgaming8726]

Fun fact, there were no special effects used for Sportacus in Lazy Town. The actor achieved all of these feats himself.

[@partymantis3421]

Absolutely, including pdeddling to power his enormous airship, jumping down said airship from terminal velocity, & tunning at mach speeds after taking a bite of one apple, All the actor & creator Magnús Scheving's doing

[@grygoriiovsianikov6671]

Yeah it's almost as if the video shows that at the very end

[@DarkManifesto]

That's because he was a champion? Research the author's background. He got into aerobatics gymnastics championship because of A DARE.

[@iconofthicc6086]

He was in his 40s. What the HELL was he like in his 20s?

[@sergeykbrfa]

Sportacus is just an ordinary guy who exercises every day. If you can't do what he can, then you're just lazy.

[@brokemono]

That's that, he's him and I'm me 😂

[@flangley-]

Saitama would agree.

[@MattMath92]

Now I want to see them fight

[@loganpotter6629]

Also I believe lazy town was recorded in his 40’s I think

[@John-i7o]

​@@loganpotter6629i think by the end of the show he was 50

[@trolledfordrip]

don't forget him hitting an apple at 20% the speed of light and perfectly aiming it to a Crater on the moon and he can with his own eyes see that he got it in from his blimp near earth

[@OliverSierraW]

also the fact the apple survived, meaning the apple itself is city level in durability and sportacus casually takes a bite out of these every day

[@Acesahn]

So we gotta factor God level hand eye coordination to his skillset?

[@trolledfordrip]

@@Acesahn this was when he was about to go to bed so it is most likely even better then this

I dont know why this was recommended to me but I am glad it was. From now on I won't say 'But can he beat goku tho?' anymore. I instead will say ',' But can he beat Sportacus tho? '

[@BillyB386]

Yea goku glazers need to calm down fr he is overrated

[@DIO_The_world]

if you think you can harvest sportacus's flesh, you must have forgotten that you need to fight him for it

[@keylimepython641]

Now we know: Exercise and Apples are more powerful than Compound V, but far weaker than spinach(Popeye Solos)

[@mrcritical6751]

God help us if Sporticus discovers Spinach

[@trolledfordrip]

now now it is shown that spinach works better on people who are stronger without it i.e popeye gets stroger then bruno with his spinach but if bruno were to use it he would be stronger then popeye even with his spinach (i believe it was an old ww2 cartoon that had this but idk for sure)

[@kingkrispy5289]

i like how even after all of this, i am still more impressed by his geniune clap behind the back- jump pushups, and the one arm one leg pushups

[@HeraldOfOpera]

Dragon Ball Super actually had a great explanation for this. Comedy characters are fundamentally not playing the same game fighting characters are, brute force will not work. You have to engage them on their own terms, making it funnier if they lose.

[@leontrotsky9563]

Tone armour

[@webbowser8834]

Vegeta vs Arale is one of the fights of all time and I love it.

[@chaotixthefox]

But then Beerus was just strong enough to brute force the ones on display anyway, so it still comes down to how strong the particular character's toonforce is at the end of the day.

[@recursiveslacker7730]

Unironically, Cadia wouldn’t have fallen if Sportacus’s flagship rolled up.

[@Hamburgerhelperisagiantglove]

is that a warhammer reference?

[@richardendresz161]

Whatever do you mean? Cadia stands!

[@tsunertoo9149]

Sportacus is just the god emperors son, but he didn't want to follow dads path so he had to go for the following option in making primarchs

[@mobgabriel1767]

don't you just love when the powerscalers find a character from a kid show/game and then just notice how absurdly bonkers he is causing completely hilarity to come out in the internet?

[@5P_OFFICIAL]

Powerscalers have strange habit to torture homelander, lol

[@MattMath92]

he's probably into it

[@RedShirtGuy96]

he's become the default yardstick for any universe's power scaling, i feel. When saying, "can he beat Goku tho?" is usually just a joke. But asking "can he beat Homelander?" feels more reasonable, grounded, applies to a lot of things and uses scales and numbers that aren't absolutely cosmic. it also helps make power scaling more fun since everyone loves to hate Homelander, where if god forbid someone beats goku the entire DB fandom loses its mind

[@leonardorolingstella8554]

Homelander’s an atrocity he deserves it

[@redrasegarden]

I’m here for it.

[@lorekeeper685]

He is popular and reasonable power area to be understandable feat wise

[@yazidefirenze]

Shaggy wasn't always a godlike fighter. When Sportacus showed up, Shaggy learned from him. It convinced him to add one singular apple slice to his sandwiches, and that's all it takes.

[@corrinflakes9659]

Homelander really is the powerscaler’s punching bag.

[@TwoHeadedMeerkat]

Maybe I'm desensitized to how silly power scaling can get sometimes, but honestly...I expected worse. Like, deadlifting the Sun or something, or running laps on Saturn's rings in seconds. He'd definitely beat Homelander, and at this point, I almost feel sorry for him

[@LordTyph]

He'd feel sorry for Homelander, I'd bet.

[@nickster5207]

You think all those greens he ate was just him trying to set an example to kids? The man never skipped a single vitamin.

[@avatarwarmech]

In for reference here he's not even the strongest there's nine other heroes that are above him He's the 10th generational hero So there's other people out there that are alive that are much stronger than him

[@dominickeijzer5844]

Debatable. Nobody knows if the 10 actually means anything, even though it's heavily implied he has predecessors. Nobody knows if the theoretical previous 9 are alive, or if they're stronger. Going by the actor, Sportacus was 40 at the time and his predecessors would be even older, possibly in and over their 70s given how Sportacus seems to have been training Stephanie to be number 11. I doubt they'd keep the same fitness in such advanced age, if they're even still alive.

[@stm7810]

yeah, by his own words he's a slightly above average hero, not even super. Lazy town is just a stronger earth.

[@d4n737]

... Also the guy lifted an entire pyramid with nothing but a grappling hook. I keep reminding people of that. Lazy Town's world is very cartoony so a lot of those feats stem from the world's physics being flexible, making it questionable how far you can get with number crunching, but still... He lifted an entire building like it was a paper weight.

[@leonardorolingstella8554]

And he tossed an apple at the moon. It landed in under 10 seconds meaning it was moving at least 10% light speed, or more specifically 12.8%. He would have to be moving that fast to launch the apple that far. In addition, based on the kinetic energy formula KE=mv^2, and the assumption that an apple weighs about 180 grams, this would mean the apple struck with a force of 31.8 kilotons of tnt. That is more than twice as strong than Hiroshima. TLDR: Sportacus can move over 12% the speed of light and can destroy Hiroshima twice over.

[@tsunertoo9149]

​@@leonardorolingstella8554Mind you , and he was falling asleep when he did it. Meaning Even tired sportacus could destroy a small country. He's actually worse than viltrumites.

[@aaronboy1246]

why did everyone stop sleeping on sportacus now?

[@blueblade6174]

Because they were running out of people who could stomp homelander.

[@Meme-pg5tw]

we just didnt know

[@mrcritical6751]

Probably because they’re completely different genres. It’s not like when people put Metroman against Homelander where despite one being for kids and the other very much not being, it’s still a character from superhero media fighting another character from superhero media. Sporticus is from an Icelandic pre-school puppet show, it doesn’t surprise me it took this long for people to notice him

[@5P_OFFICIAL]

​@@mrcritical6751 powerscalers are about to touch everything

[@hrpang]

​@mrcritical6751 which is weird because a few years ago Robbie Rotten was the biggest meme around and for a lot of people, the Icelandic kids show did release in English for international audiences.

[@cristrollelgeekmaster4674]

"Powerscalers found *insert random character*" is usually bad news for Homelander

[@riganman6959]

Fun fact: the actor who played Sportacus was around 41 at the time of filming the sleigh scene. He was 50 years old by the time the show ended.

[@icetide9411]

And he does all of it while having the world's most stylish stache. Look at that thing.

[@OceansideSpiderHouse]

I like how there was no comparison for Homelander’s strength in this video because the futility of the matchup is easily implied.

[@uhh.willow]

Ive been waiting for like 6 years for people to realize Sportacus’ power scaling potential

[@RelativelyBest]

Okay, but _also,_ Santa is pretty impressive for surviving that deacceleration.

[@padalan2504]

This is a severe misunderstanding of his powers, you see whenever Sportacus eats healthy food, he becomes imbued with action film logic, including the ones with Chuck Norris in it. That is where these extraordinary abilities come from.

[@chaotixthefox]

A number of his notable feats are base Sportacus, without the "Apple Amp"

[@Alexandar358]

But If I recall correctly processed sugar is his kryptonite as he once collapsed from a single bite of a sugar apple

[@default_liver1641]

im cracking up since finding out ppl are powerscaling sportacus 😂😂😂 i love it

[@generalgarchomp333]

Also the fact that santa slowed down that fast and was not only completely fine but also unmoved is wild.

[@drivanradosivic1357]

Santa is supernatural, though.

[@roronoazoro8789]

fun fact: the actor who played Sportacus was in his 40ys while lazy town was filmed

[@zack9697]

Even the real man behind sportacus is insanly strong and talented, the dude is in his 60 and can do thing that would tear muscle on any other man.

Remember kids, exercise and always eat your vegetables.

[@Lemuel928]

Is spinach the ultimate vegetable?

[@RubyPhoenix12345]

Apparently, at one point Sportacus hits an apple to the moon. Someone did the calculations and the apple travelled roughly 20% the speed of light. Are you afraid yet?

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

Dude did it when he was about to go to bed and aimed it accurately at a crater in the moon from his airship.

[@bichcles]

He got it wrong he's not calculating the fact the Santas shled travels around the world in one night in most cases not seeing mourning until he comes home

[@Mardanzo]

imagine when power scalers find Segata Sanshiro

[@Touremsol9925]

They already had him fight Chuck Norris though

[@MeepChangeling]

We shouldn't include the mass of gifts in Santa's bag. Santa demonstraits no feats of strength other than lifting that bag, thus Occam's Razor would indicate the bag's obvious magic also negates the weight of items within it as well as their volume. Which in turn implies the bag is merely a portal to a pocket dimension much like the Bag of Holding from D&D.

[@senatorarmstrong1233]

He's also super precise. Bro hit an apple to the moon and calculated the force needed to make the apple land without bruising.

[@leonardorolingstella8554]

And this is without taking in the time he threw an apple that hit the moon in under 10 seconds & casually uprooted the Great Pyramids

To make this even more crazy, you are definitely underestimating that sleigh's weight. Those are metal runners on there and those are probably 40 lbs a piece and the rest of that is solid wood, so I'd say closer to 500 lbs or so, which just makes it more stupid.
