Well, iron fumes are the only welding byproduct you can inhale without getting sick, so the human body seems to be able to handle iron in weird places pretty well. Don't know how it'd fit through his arteries without clogging them up, though!

Do I really need to be the guy who points out that it's a movie wherein special, magical people can control fire and ice, shoot laser beams with their eyes, and teleport? Maybe Mitchell Laurio was a latent mutant whose superpower was being able to survive a lot of metal in his blood. There, resolved, gimme my No Prize.

Nope. That one doesn't tie in to the main series at all. It's just a pilot to see if they should make more in the future. Everything besides the main series has been a lot of fun. Check out the Edge of Spiderverse one shots, Scarlet Spiders, Spiderverse Team Up, or the Spiderverse anthology that Peneleope Parker is from for some fun alternate Spider-Man action. The rape threat was directed towards Lady Spider, the steam punk Spider Woman, in an otherwise solid issue of Spider-Man 2099. The dude gets what's coming to him if it helps.

Simplest answer, some kind of ferrofluid. There are medical applications and it doesn't kill people. Up the dose, add comic book science - done.

Alhazred posted:You can't rip the blood out of prison guard with your magnetic power by injecting it with extra iron either. There's a genetic disorder where the iron doesn't form hemoglobin properly and so you've got tiny bits of iron floating around your blood stream. People with this disease set off metal detectors and have a really bad time with things like cat scans and MRIs. So theoretically you could get those microscopic iron particles in a saline solution injected into a health person, then rip them out again. If your victim doesn't pass any mutants who control magnetism they'll pass all of the excess iron sooner or later. I don't think you could do it in the quantity that the movie shows, though.

The original Circe was from Krypton, so when Superman realizes this he looks up "how to cure getting a lion's head from one of Circe's magic potions" in the Kandor library and mixes up the antidote.

I like to imagine Jimmy, tired of constantly dealing with Superman's poo poo, decides to take some alone time. Just head on down to the basement, and not have to worry about whatever hosed-up thing Supes has going on today. Then Superman blows through the floor, and is also a lion.

I remember Bronze Age stories about Superman and magic, but not really any Mort Weisinger era stories.
