Now I am just imagining Dr. Doom as a Yelp Elite reviewer or food critic giving his Latverian take on different eateries.

"THE PAN COTTA HAD A SURPRISING OFF NOTE OF CITRUS, WHICH PAIRED RATHER WELL WITH THE BLACKBERRY PUREE. THIS PLEASED DOOM. THE SERVICE WAS ADEQUATE FOR THIS LEVEL OF DINING ESTABLISHMENT. The prices were also quite reasonable. 4 OUT OF 5 STARS!!!" :doom:

Well, I think you just gave me a new hobby.

I was about to ask how Doom eats, what with the mask and all, but then I remembered that Doom can toot a horn as he pleases. Surely that's gotta be trickier than shoving some food into your mouth-slot.

Honestly the trickiest thing is not to constantly toot one's own horn when one is Doom

Desperate to make some extra scratch, Ben Grimm signs up to become an Uber driver using the Fantasticar. His first passenger is a pickup from the airport...

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

So I used to post on a battle board in the early 2000's.
Somebody (who was a huge fan of the Thing) posted a load of pictures of the Thing hijacking cars/cabs/trucks/ vehicles of all sorts to use in fights or to escape.

It lead to the Thing getting the unofficial motto of "It's Carjacking Time!"

The F4 are alternatively the richest fuckers around or don't have two nickels to rub together. if it's the former they bought the Uber driver two new cars, the later he wouldn't have be able to get an Uber in the first place.

These bits in comics and TV always got me. If you swing a crowbar at Superman it bends, or you swing a wooden bat or club at him and it explodes into splinters, that implies that you were strong enough to do that to swing that object so it would bend or break upon impact with an immovable object, which in both cases would take a tremendous amount of force. Same with this knife. It assumes that the attacker would be able to stab that same knife into a brick wall and have it crumple up like that.

It looks like Superman is actually pulling the guy's arm into him with enough force to do that as a form of intimidation.

I think the idea in that sequence is that superman is pulling the hand holding the knife to get that effect.

Superman is holding the guy's wrist, so either he is overpowering Superman or Superman is pulling on his wrist.

The thug's grip still has to be strong enough to hold it while he does that, and his bones and joints have to resist snapping from all the Super-Force being applied.

Superman doesn't actually have super strength or invulnerability but some form of telekinesis that only works in very close proximity to his body.

Pretty sure that's been the excuse at some point or another whenever nerds started smugly pointing out how Superman couldn't actually (for example) catch a falling plane without tearing a wing off or just destroying it or some other bullshit, so the explanation was that Superman unconsciously uses telekinesis to do all the poo poo physics says he shouldn't be able to do.
