Bohemian Nights posted:It's not superman, but I always thought the Plutonian (superman archetype) had a comic book plausible explanationfor a lot of Supes powers If I'm remembering right, that's pretty much how Superboys powers worked. They couldn't quite get Clarks powerset right when they cloned him, so they just sorta cheated the same effects out of psionic tricks.

WickedHate posted: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. Kryptonite definitely pierces superflesh. There have been numerous examples of Superman getting shot and/or stabbed with kryptonite, so there's really no room for ambiguity. Everything from comics to cartoons to one of the worst movies ever made supports the notion of kryptonite weapons being effective against kryptonians.

Madkal posted: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. Miller didn't want the yellow oval in DKR, but DC said he had to use it. So, Miller wrote that line so Batman can get shot in the chest and Miller can draw the rest of the comic with the yellow oval torn apart. purple death ray posted:Superman's clothes are also Kryptonian and are really hard to rip or damage.

Uthor posted:But easy enough for Martha to sew! Okay, look, they are made of a special fabric that, when it comes in contact with Superman's bioelectric field, takes on the properties and durability of Superman himself. Outside of that field they are indistinguishable from regular cloth and since the cape regularly is outside of that field it tears much easier. (actually I'm pretty sure that has been a canon excuse at some point.)
