Between that, Man of Steel and that one Wonder Woman page I saw floating around a good while ago...Comic books REALLY like the neck snap as the dramatic way to kill someone. I guess it's just bloodless and so easier for them to get by on it.

But it's weird how it always insta-kills and never leaves anyone paralysed but still alive. Just sayin'.

It can.

I have problems pretending Thor isn't a joke in the face of truly cosmic threats. Dude eats planets, you are a pissant God of a religion that died out the second it made serious contact with the outside world. You don't rate, stop pretending you are cool.

This is an older Thor suped up with the Odinpower and now a weapon that' skilled thousands of gods. Read God of Thunder,

When did Hyperion show up in marvel?

Last I remember him was some weird sorta ultimates reboot where he xrayed a stripper and blew a big loving dent in the artic because he didn't want anyone messing with him.

This is a different one. He shows up in Hickman's Avengers.

This is only making me want Marvel to do an Elseworlds type thing featuring the Great Society even more.

Is it bad that I'd rather see the Justice League done by Marvel than the actual Justice League at this point

It just means that you want to read Supreme Power and that is a fine choice.

Can someone post the Martian Manhunter doing something badass since every time I see him in anything, whether a panel thread or the JLA cartoon, he's just getting his rear end handed to him despite being as strong as Superman but with telepathy, shapeshifting, and incorporeality (albeit with a much more common weakness).

Guys like Vulture and Osborn have the Marvel quality of their "powers" being incidental, and their real powers being something more innate. Vulture may not be the worst guy to be against in a fist fight but he's extremely smart and crafty and one hell of an engineer.

The Human Torch doesn't even get near the Planck temperature. Reed Richards lies all the time about this kind of thing, because he's an rear end in a top hat who thinks it's funny. Even people technically qualified to call him out on this don't do it because they're afraid of looking ridiculous by accusing Dr. Richards of the Fantastic Four of making an undergraduate error.

If someone called him out on it Reed would just alter the laws of physics to lower the Planck temperature

Superman is dumb though and Superman punching people to solve problems is the most dumb, especially while talking about how brains beat brawns. Unless you've got BR AI N S on your knuckles there boyscout you just laid out a dude with your brawn.
