I was just looking up this version of him. Huh, he's married to Tasmanian Devil and they have a daughter together. :3:

There's no way Stark or Richards or one of these super genius billionaires doesn't subsidize that kind of thing. Like Bruce Wayne has a ton of various foundations that give people money for the hosed up poo poo that happens in Gotham.

So is it like Bruce circulates 48% of the world's money, Luthor another 48%, and the 4% is what's left for everyone? Kind-of true to life tbh.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Obviously you move to New York and then when poo poo goes crazy you go straight to the 9/11 memorial so that when Doom or whoever shows up to kill everyone you can ask 'Where were you when the towers fell?' and then you'll look at the wall of names together and he'll shed a single tear and leave with a growled 'Next time, Richards'

No, he's right, Superman is simply affected by magic like anyone else would be. He's not any weaker to it than a normal person. If a normal person would have been hurt by Dr Fates lightning bolt, then Superman would not be more hurt.

Yeah though why is Superman always forgetting about magic and why do people have to remind him of it. Like if I was invulnerable to everything but punches in the face I would constantly be trying to prevent that from happening but Superman is always sleeping on the magic thing.

Maybe he's like Trump, where he constructs a mental fantasy world where he's the best at everything. It's just extra-hard to get through to him because he's mostly right.

He's had that happen before, including special armor. It's just not very interesting so they forget about it.

But most normal people tend to be straight up killed, if not seriously harmed by a lightning bolt. So by that logic shouldn't a magic lightning bolt have a pretty good chance of killing Superman?

Historically they don't, but they do mess him up something fierce.

Superman at one point was so bothered about this that he jumped dimensions to ask Doctor Fate after all his magic buddies
on THIS Earth basically said they couldn't help him.



Hey Supes get off the drat satellite my calls to Madagascar aren't going through! :v:

During a battle with aliens that used magic, Dr. Fate temporarily infuses him with all his power so that for a time,
he is effectively invulnerable to magic. He shrugs off magic attacks with ease.

Of course, here's what happens when he just asks him outright:

It's more like "If I hadn't been so worried about my weaknesses I never would have come to your Earth to prevent you from getting jobbed by those alien assholes" as the aliens had powers too tough for Fate to tackle by himself.

Green Arrow was always the Kmart Batman, it makes sense. Plus wood is cheap enough for the second richest man in the world, kryptonite is hella expensive.
