My ideas for Wolfgang Rework based on my limited research

[HowlVoid]

So, I have no life as most of you know, but I also find that coming up with ideas that fit Wolfgang thematically and please the masses is kinda of a an engaging puzzle. 

So Strongmen have 4 main attributes they worked on.

-Quick explosive strength

-Overall strength

-Endurance/cardio (to improve blood flow)

-Grip

Based on these four attributes, feats they conduct and weight training tools they use I have come up with a few perks.

-Explosive power + grip = Increase the mining/chopping damage done by axe/pickaxe at the cost of increased durability when mighty.

This can decrease the overall durability of a tool as much as 50% as to not outshine more experienced gatherers. He is essentially sacrifice technique for power.

-Strength + explosive power= One of the feats strongmen do is "metal bar bending" which is exactly what it sounds like. What if Wolfgang could crush between his hands weapons and armor to reimburse some resources.

This could be a team perk where many  low percent weapons and armor are left over. Some armors at 1% would be crushed to nothingness (leaving nothing), while some, like 1% wooden armor, would leave behind a single log or tuft of grass. 

-A bit of teamwork flair, but what if Wolf's teammates could hop onto his workout structure and provide full weight (except Wes) at a very early stage of the game?

-Wolfgang's dumbbells could have a small mining/chopping effect when thrown at resources.

-An exclusive weight training belt that has a small belt of hunger effect that could range from 10%-20% reduced hunger. To help reduce the hunger drain of the whole team (would be unrepairable)

-Increase Wolfgang's damage and range with the boomerang.

-Let Wolfgang carry sleeping bosses.

-One strong men performance is the "flex", Wolfgang can stay idle for a while and start flexing, doing so increase his meter drain slightly and induces a fear effect on nearby mobs. 

Moving slightly cancels it and he won't do it again when idle immediately after.

-Make Wolfgang's Gym portable.

I will updating this list with my ideas as I am spreading them all over the forum and starting to lose track of them. I also posted some of them on the suggestions section which I now realize would fit better in the beta section. Obviously I don't mean for all of them to be implemented all at once so there may be repeat ideas that sound similar or mechanically function the same. 

Cheers!

Is there a specific diet for the strongman? Asking because 1) I recently posted my own ideas for maintaining mightiness and 2) you as an IRL strongman expert might think of some ideas that are connected to Wolfgang's diet.

Will that would be lots of stuff with protein. 

I have seen the idea of a protein shake being thrown around and I think that would fit just as an added recipe to the game.

Something like 2 bananas and 1 eggs and 1 voltgoat electric milk.

For others it would just give hunger or w/e but for Wolfgang it could lessen his mighty meter depletion rate. The need for bananas and electric milk would make it a bit hard to come by so people would be encouraged to only use it in boss battles.

That's an amazing idea. Probably not going to be enough, but I approve nonetheless.

This sounds like an animation and exploit nightmare. I want to see this just for how ridiculous it would look.

Haha me too. They could wake up instantly if carried for too long and some can despawn if taken too far from their spawning points like klaus. Dragonfly herself can already be drawn away to any place on the map.
