We did an interview with S1, producer of ‘POWER’, for the 10th anniversary of MBDTF. He told us that the chorus of ‘POWER’ was originally made up of a bunch of Marvel characters saying “power” with Kanye talking in between.
“...when he first played the song for me, the chorus was chopped up with Marvel characters saying “power”. So it was like the voices of Marvel characters chanting “power”. He chopped it and he was saying stuff in between the song. He made a chorus basically out of chopping those together.”

Whoaaaa gonna check this out man!!! Nice work
So basically
Kanye: No one man should have all that
Ironman: Power!
Kanye: Stop trippin I’m trippin off the
Thor: Power!
Sounds like Nah Nah Nah level idea. It's crazy how either some cringy Kanye ideas never see the light of day or he executes them so well that we don't even notice the cringe in the first place.
