Yea that moment is genuinely one of the best in Captain America, especially from the old days, but out of context it does pretty much look like Steve beat the poo poo out of a clown dude while giving him a stirring speech and Bucky was just loving it.

Wouldn't it be mostly like those panels, where it's too fast to actually see, so you'd mostly see her arms seeming to stay still, with a slight blur/smudge effect and then the sparks of the bullet strikes?

Wonder Woman herself is bulletproof right? I get the bracelets go back to her creation, but she should be straight up impervious to bullets now right?

In the same vein why do people even bother shooting at Superman unless they have, like, Kryptonite bullets or something.

Also that's the Year One story, and she's not really aware of her all of powers as the Patrons had only recently bestowed them on her. At that point in the story, she knows she's very strong, plus she has her training from being an Amazon, and could successfully deflect a single bullet. A few issues earlier, other Amazons were shown getting injured attempting the same thing.

Pureauthor posted:In the same vein why do people even bother shooting at Superman unless they have, like, Kryptonite bullets or something. Hope? Panic? Fear? They may be, "the one" to actually do something? Maybe Lex Luthor will be around, and throw kryponite at him, just to be a dick and give a small time hood a story to tell? You've heard all the stories, and can't possibly believe them (Superman is a government conspiracy!)? Mr. Mxyzptlk? Any number of reality warping or magic villains want to dick with the Supes? If you're a bank robber, what else are you going to do? I mean, you could aim for the crowd to try and distract him, but you'll just piss him off, and rack up a bigger charge when you're inevitably caught, and handed over to the police. So you throw on a bit of theater, so you can at least puff your chest while you're in prison.

Not an answer to your question, but someone once told me there was a superman comic where a minor power-free villain went to Metropolis, and got some kryptonite. Superman catches up with him in a lead-lined bullet factory. So, where are the kryptonite bullets? They've been mixed at random in with the regular orders and shipped out days ago. The guy says something like: "When I was in jail, I saw you on tv a few times. When people shot at you, you kept doing this *mimes proudly showing chest*. I know you're gonna keep doing that, but from now on, when you do, I hope you think of me." Because I am a bad person who doesn't like superman, if this was a real story, I might consider panels from it to be "bad" "rear end".

It wouldn't work. Kryptonite doesn't disintegrate Superman's flesh on contact, he absorbs the radiation. The bullet would bounce off of him and then he'd get mildly sick if he stood around it.

People shouldn't shoot at Superman - Everyone knows it's a thrown gun which is actually dangerous to him! http://i.imgur.com/SBdHaNJ.mp4 I forget how to embed mp4s. Fake edit: Oh, they do it automatically, just not in the preview.

violent sex idiot posted:is it attempted murder to shoot super man? Mens rea probably comes into it. If I'm at a fairground and I'm shooting Superman with his knowledge and consent as an exhibition for charity, then no. Under any other circumstances, especially while committing a crime, shooting a gun at someone is pretty much attempted murder. A solid argument could be made that I couldn't possibly know that this person in the Superman costume was impervious to gunfire, no matter what other metahuman abilities they'd displayed; even if I was shooting Superman from a building across the street as he accepted a key to the city on We Love Superman Day, at which occasion the mayor and the justice of the peace and a notary public all said THANKS, SUPERMAN, in unison, the argument could be made that (a) I wouldn't have done it had I not expected to do him harm and (b) I couldn't know for certain at that moment if he were impervious to gunfire, given the DCU history of metahumans losing some/all of their powers. What's that gun safety rule? Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy? My point is, violent sex idiot, don't shoot guns at people without their permission.

Kryptonite is radioactive enough that the amount set into a ring gives people cancer and the vast, vast, vast majority of people buying bullets shipped from a regular factory are not going to be shooting Superman. Very few people committing crimes serious enough that Superman comes to stop them are using legally purchased stuff anyway and it also would be pretty trivial for them to track down the bullets once they were out of the lead lined factory. "Haha, Superman, I have MILDLY INCONVENIENCED YOU while you get Batman to track down the incredibly distinctive radiation signature of kryptonite. In the off chance any are missed they probably give a legitimate gun owner who never uses his gun cancer and/or end up embedded in an innocent victim!

Talking about guns and heroes I always like the fact that Batman (in the days of the yellow oval) put his symbol on his chest to act as a target so people wouldn't just try shoot him in the face.

Is it still cannon that Superman has a "super layer" around him which is what protects his costume and why he can do things like carry an island without it falling apart: his super layer envelopes what he's carrying. I always thought magic and kryptonite pierces that layer leaving him just a man in above average shape (with kryptonite making him sick to boot)

It also drains all the power he's gained from the yellow sun. Or something. Let's be honest. It does whatever the author needs it to do.
