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? Kirkman actually came up with a solution for that in Invincible at one point. You take the hardest material you've got, and then you increase the effective weight of the rep by pushing back with a magnetic field. Assuming you're already dealing with comic book science there's no reason it wouldn't function as a workout routine, albeit an expensive one (all that magnetic 'force' has to come from electricity, after all).

I think I know of the video in question and it was in real life. I wasn't able to find it mostly because typing in "arm wrestling broken arm" gets you a lot of results.

Payndz posted: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. There was a X-man who had flying powers + involuntary shapeshifting. When flying at speed, she would change to be streamlined and protected against the wind. Think she got put on a bus when they shuffled new mutants.

And I can't find it either. I did find this though:  linked x-ray picture of a broken arm According to the Wikipedia page, broken arms occour quite often because the arm bone is not designed to take stress in the direction required by arm wrestling.

Apparently Peter forgot that people can't see you through the phone. It's OK, you can just say "Hi, this is Spider-Man".

his caution is warranted. whenever newspaper spiderman meets other superheroes, they punch him in the face. if he got the ff to come out and they knew spiderman was around, they would immediately all punch him in the face for no reason.
