if ronan could detect the sentry, why did he assault a diner? i suspect that the questions were an excuse for him to get his grub on.

I don't think the ironic Puny Parker gag works when you clearly draw him with such well defined muscles.

I don't know much about muscles, but my instant thought is; wouldn't that cause issues? Tearing or something? Yeah, you've got the strength, but if the actual muscle and skin and bone and such can't take the force, it'll snap and tear and break up? Like...I don't know, a weapon swung so hard it breaks on impact? Am I being dumb?

I mean, if you have a magic power that makes you incredibly strong despite having no muscle tone, it's not a stretch to say that same magic power protects you from snapping yourself in half when you lift something. Even "traditionally" super strong heroes have to be subjected to this same suspension of disbelief, they'd be similarly physically improbable due to the fact that you can't just "scale up" natural bodies and expect them to still work consistently.

Like, when Superman lifts an ocean liner, scientifically speaking all his incredible strength would mean is that his hands puncture the hull. Even if you have enough strength to lift something huge, you also need a sufficient distribution of pressure over a surface area relative to the size of the object, or you'd just punch straight through it (unless it was made of a material hard enough to distribute the massive amount of force applied rather than buckling or being pierced by it). In general trying to explain superpowers through science is a bit of a mug's game. e: not that that means it's not fun, especially when Squirrel Girl does it, because it totally is!

At the risk of bringing up anime, this is basically a huge part of My Hero Academia, where the main character is a shrimp 14 year old who's given the strength of essentially Golden Age Superman but can't physically handle it, and the first time he punches something he breaks literally every bone in his body from the sheer amount of forces involved.

Yeah, your bones and skin are pretty strong, but they're not strong enough to handle super muscles, hell, they're barely strong enough to handle your regular muscles. Athletes tear tendons, break bones, and rip skin all the time if they mess up their form or slip and fall at speed. To be super-strong you'd also need super-durability, realistically, or your body would tear itself apart whenever you went all out.

I also now want to see a flying superhero have to deal with wind chill, being blinded by airborne dust particles and having their clothes torn off by the slipstream every time they go any faster than a Piper Cub.

I believe there was a guy in Wild Cards where they expressly handled this issue. He had to drink stuff with exotic heavy metal salts and stuff in it to keep his bones in working order and he weighed a lot more than a normal person of his size.

Then when they cast Superman for season 2, they picked a guy smaller than Jimmy fuckin' Olsen, because again, why not? He gets his power from the sun, not leg day.

CapnAndy posted:Even at his buffest in the comics Superman still isn't that muscled, just in good trim, especially compared to how strong he is. Which actually makes sense -- if you're Superman and you have to lift something like a mountain range before you start putting in more effort than normal, how are you gonna bulk up, exactly? Do reps with the Moon? There was that run I vaguely remember, right after he was "resurrected" and had the mullet, where he was all swole from storing too much solar energy or something. I think it was right before 'lectric Superman.
