Was Crocodile stronger at Marineford? Or was he holding back in Alabasta?

 During the Alabasta arc, Crocodile displayed a level of power that was initially considered overwhelming by the Straw Hat Pirates. He possessed the Logia-type Devil Fruit called the Suna Suna no Mi (Sand-Sand Fruit), which granted him the ability to control and transform into sand. He had a reputation as a Shichibukai and controlled the desert kingdom of Alabasta from the shadows. His strength was showcased through his battles with Luffy and others. At Marineford, Crocodile was present as part of the war that took place at Marine Headquarters. While he did participate in the battle, he didn't display the same level of dominance as some other powerful characters present. This has led fans to speculate that he might not have been as strong as initially portrayed in Alabasta. It's important to note that power scaling and character abilities can be subject to interpretation and development by the author. Oda often keeps details deliberately open-ended to keep the story intriguing.

Superman Movie for Ben Affleck: ‘He’s Built Like a Hero’


"Superman" film off the ground with Ben Affleck in the lead spot. The two men were falling off the accomplishment of "Mallrats" at that point. Warner Bros. was being developed on a new "Superman" film named "Superman Reborn," however Smith thought the screenplay was "awful." That's when Smith pitched his own "Superman" film dependent on "The Death of Superman" comic series. Smith's content went into advancement with maker Jon Peters, yet the two conflicted over projecting.



"I was composing it for Affleck," Smith said. "Ben was warming up. Like he was there. I think he'd been employed for 'Armageddon.' Affleck, he's a fucking goliath, similar to he's assembled like a superhuman, fabricated like a monster activity figure, especially with the tallness. And afterward he puts on the muscles there as well. So in my mind and heart, it was dependably Ben and Michael Rooker."

Smith needed Affleck for Superman and Rooker for the contemptible job of Lex Luther, however Peters had an alternate thought. The Hollywood maker needed to give Sean Penn a role as Superman, as the entertainer was hot off an Oscar selection for Best Actor on account of his part in the 1995 show "Dead Man Walking."



"[Jon Peters] goes, 'Examine [Penn's] eyes in that film, he's [got] tormented eyes, the eyes of an executioner,'" Smith said. "What's more I resembled, 'Fella, it's Superman. You know, that is not the way in which a great many people consider Superman'… But he needed to rehash it. He needed something coarse, realistic and adult. He basically needed like what Zack Snyder ultimately did [in 'Man of Steel,' 'Batman v Superman' and 'Equity League,' which incidentally highlighted Affleck as Batman inverse Henry Cavill's Superman]."


Tim Burton in the end assumed control over the reins of "Superman Lives" and set Nicolas Cage to star. Affleck would have his superhuman chance years after the fact by being given a role as Batman/Bruce Wayne in "Batman v Superman." Affleck is repeating the person in Warner Bros.' impending comic book tentpole "The Flash," due in theaters November 4.
