More about this meme

Meet Potential Man originated on November 21, 2023, when X user @MugenKampaWorks posted an image of Megumi Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen styled as Superman alongside text lamenting that he is always praised as potentially powerful but never actually delivers. The post amassed over 22,000 likes within two years and the format spread rapidly across anime, gaming, and sports fan communities.

Common variations feature characters like Toshiro Hitsugaya (Bleach), Rock Lee (Naruto), Pannacotta Fugo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), and even Charizard from Pokémon. The meme taps into a universal frustration with characters or public figures perpetually described as having untapped potential, with catchphrases like 'if and when but never is' and 'Give me liberty, give me fire, give me [X] or I retire.'
