# Shaggy's Power Shaggy's Power is a Scooby-Doo image macro series that turns stoner sidekick Shaggy Rogers into a reality-warping demigod who never uses more than a fraction of his real strength. The joke traces to a 2018 DeviantArt script and exploded across Reddit and 4chan in January 2019, eventually pulling in a Mortal Kombat 11 petition with tens of thousands of signatures and a public co-sign from actor Matthew Lillard. ## Origin On April 1, 2018, DeviantArt user Nekroz-of-Mokey posted a script for a comedy sketch called 'Shaggy Rogers vs. Madara Uchiha,' spun off the earlier Ultra Instinct Shaggy edit trend, in which Shaggy tells the Naruto villain 'this isn't even 1% of 1% of 1% of my power, kid'[8]. That triple-percentage line pinned the character to the anime power-scaling bit that Reddit and 4chan later ran with. - **Platform:** DeviantArt (source line) / Reddit and 4chan (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2018 ## Overview Each image pairs an intimidating shot of Shaggy with a caption where he shrugs off a fight and admits he barely used any of his real strength, riffing on anime power-scaling lines like 'this isn't even 1% of my power.' Common edits stick katanas or other weapons in his hands[1] or drop him into Superman and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure panels[4]. The subreddit /r/BadAssShaggy became the meme's headquarters, filling with re-subbed still frames from the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film in which Matthew Lillard's interview quotes carry menacing new dialogue[8]. The tone stays deadpan: Shaggy speaks softly, sometimes apologizes for the destruction, and levels planets between sentences. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Shaggy's Power?
