I thought for a second there it said "Superman melts Frosty!". It could be a great bit of Super-dickery. Heat vision: Frosty's a puddle. Freeze breath: Frosty's back in action! Rinse and repeat.

With so many superdudes running around, what - to the average observer, lacking the omniscient viewpoint of the comic reader - makes Thor 'a god' instead of 'an alien who thinks he's a god' or 'a mutant who thinks he's a god' or 'a robot who can cry--- er, thinks he's a god'?

His point is that, with so many superpowered beings showing off, how is the average human being supposed to determine which one is a god and which one is just claiming to be? People can still be athiest and disbelieve in the idea of gods, because you have mortal men who became godlike by manmade means. Any so called 'god' could just simply be an extradimensional traveller who, in his own reality, spent too much time in front of a microwave. I mean, look at Wundarr the Aquarian. Speaking of gods, though, Scarlet Spider #11 had a little exchange that cracked me up.

John Dyne posted:So's Texas, but I don't think anyone in the Marvel universe thinks gods come from there. This. I mean, 'Asgard is a real place' is nice and all, but how's that prove the existence of gods? It proves the existence of dudes with superpowers who live in an extradimensional space called Asgard, is all. And that's awesome and all, but that doesn't make them gods. There's a place called Four Freedoms Plaza, and superpowered beings live there, too - are they gods? "Course not. (hell, the comics themselves kind of support this argument, what with the whole 'Asgardians are aliens, not gods' thread that ran through the books for more than a few years; Thor's godhood or lack thereof fluctuates over time) I think 'Marvel atheism' probably has less emphasis on 'is there a God?' and much more emphasis on 'what is God? What makes a powerful being a god?' But I think it's silly to say that there aren't any atheists in the Marvel Universe, simply because in Marvel, 'miracles' are vastly more commonplace - and are accepted as something other than divine intervention. It's even easier to dismiss theist beliefs by saying stuff like 'Oh, the Red Sea thing? Yeah, Moses was a mutant, that's all.' (also, this isn't a funny panel, so any further discussion on this topic really ought to be moved to Derailed)

Here's a panel. From Wolverine and the X-Men #20, a couple pages ago Warren summoned this energy sword, much to his own surprise as well as that of Mystique and the new Silver Samurai, depicted here as Warren rushes off to save Shark Girl from Mystique, or perhaps the other way around.

Kharmakazy posted:Dear DC, How the gently caress do X-rays/heat vision cause eggs to hatch? Congrats on killing the embryo in two completely different ways! Come on, it's simple. The penguin embryo develops by absorbing thermal energy from its mother sitting on the egg; when it reaches a certain threshold, it hatches. All eggs work that way. Superboy's heat vision just delivers the same amount of warmth much faster, causing the penguin to develop and hatch instantly. You can tell this is true by how the readers' letters do not question that part.

I like to imagine that whoever wrote the story just knew literally nothing about penguins, and when the illustrator got to that point they just stared at the notes for a long moment, trying to decide whether or not to push pack and face all the trouble that could cause before just saying 'gently caress it, baby penguin flies home'. I mean even if there was some sort of confusion and it was supposed to be a puffin or something instead of a penguin, it's not like a newly-hatched chick of any kind can fly, they go through that puffball phase of being blind and useless.

I love the idea that eggs only need X amount of heat energy, and it doesn't matter over what time period the absorption happens. If you want your chick to hatch, screw sitting on it for days - just pop it in the oven!

As funny as it is to see a penguin fly, I think it'd be funnier if the penguin just waddled, and Superman followed accordingly.
