Description

Ok, obviously not plausible, so easy on the roasting, haha, but thought experiment all stemming from an Karlsson/Tanev pairing idea. One arguably (one of) the best DD, specifically with his super power pretty much being an uncanny ability to basically erase his partners defensive deficiencies and maximizing ability (Weegar, Kylington, Hanafin, Hughes), the other the unequivocally best OD. So why not? haha thought experiment with that as foundation, and HYPOTHETICALLY how would you build around that and make that work?
