I wouldn’t have hung in for 30 minutes if I wasn’t having a good time! I would LISTEN to that podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Ps I argued with one dude who claimed superman flew by means of a body force field of some type. I asked um where has it ever said that in any comic? You dont get to just invent your own reasons for a fictional character you have not created.

I have a “personal canon” that has occasionally contradicted Marvel’s official stance. I try to keep such things to myself, tho. That said, I did really like Kurt Busiek’s Samaritan, from Astro City. Samaritan is a Superman analog, who’s powers are explained by an Empyrean Web. It makes a lot more sense than Superman, and might be where your dude got the idea.

kav Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I also argued with one dude claimed spider man clung to walls using an 'electrostatic field'. I said thats not how electrostatic fields work. An electrical field generates a magnetic field and a hand held magnet strong enough to lift a chunk of iron the size of the Sun would have zero effect on a brick wall because the electron poles are not aligned as in iron. If there was some mythical electrostatic field strong enough to stick spider man to a wall, it would also attract everything around him and he would be battered by books, chairs, cars- Edited March 24, 2020 by kav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, if the flames were hot as a hydrogen bomb you would be ashes from standing that close to them. Two, superman's lungs works the same as anyone's-they suck in air by increasing the lung volume and OUTSIDE PRESSURE forces air in. There is no 'suction' per se it is just an example of Boyle's Law. How do you explain his cold breath power if that's the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Superman 214-this goofy looking dude is way more powerful than superman but he was not accepted into some alien legion of superheroes because of his looks. Yeah they're not so concerned about defeating menaces but instead on the photo ops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
