Pistol Foot Pete is my least favorite of the strongest by a wide margin.

It's so strange to me because it's not like he's even a bad character or not interesting. He's a chill guy, I like his cowboy gimmick, he's charming enough.

But I don't know man, he just doesn't click with me the same way EC, VI, Tomahawk, or Scourge do as characters.

(God and a Box and Florida Man are fun but they're... well, gimmicks, even if they're fleshed out and well done gimmicks.)

I guess he just has Mary Sue vibes to me, but Pinakanaka is a good enough writer to make it mostly work.

I think for me is I just don't feel like he ever really earned his strength or was 'pushed' the same way everyone else was. Maybe that's subjective. It feels like he was just born OP and that's that. Sure Monkey is also born OP but he had to learn a hard lesson against EC, for example.

This isn't a hate post, I still greatly enjoy the series and PFP is an alright character, buuut I dunno, he's no EC.
