The Power Stance
CIA doing the Power Stance.
is the pose held by CIA at the beginning of the Plane Scene. It is believed that he uses this pose to build supernatural powers of authority and non-hotheadedness. It is commonly called the 'cowboy stance', and involves CIA hooking his thumbs over his belt and resting his hands either side of his crotch.
Theories
- One reason for this stance may be that it helps CIA be in charge. While Bane is crashing the Wreckage Brother with Noshur Viverse, CIA is unable to maintain his stance, and loses his ability to stay in charge, while before he was in charge.
