whatever Scientists tells us what they believes are the only things that exists in Reality(our world), they treats what US government and mainstream news media said about things like 9/11, CO2 Emissions, and so on as their gospel

calling Real Life Martial Artists that can break walls "Comic Book Peak Human" is like calling Pre-new52!Cassandra Cain "Shounen Manga character"
I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
Not comics but this really needs to be seen to believed.

Civil War, Civil War 2, A vs X, I vs X and Injustice tie together for me as far as fight events go.

"One of the maddening but beautiful things about comics is that you have to give characters a sense of change without changing them so much that they violate the essence of who they are." ~ Ann Nocenti, Chris Claremont's X-Men.
Honestly, given how Fairy Tail went on to establish that Erza's hakama outfit was her most powerful form and had a remarkably consistent feature of completely ridiculous "friendship powerups" it's way less egregious now than it was at the time.
But, to recap it in brief.
Erza is a magical swordsman who enhances her abilities by magically summoning and equipping suits of armour. She ends up fighting Ikaruga, another swordsman.
From the outset, Ikaruga is presented as being better than Erza. Not just slightly better, massively better. From cutting through dimensions, to one-shotting every outfit Erza pulls out, including her apparently "most powerful" armour. It's an utter stomp.
Completely devoid of options. Erza switches to her hakama outfit and it is specifically stated that this outfit has no magical properties and the gulf between Ikaruga and Erza is exactly the same.
Erza then one shots Ikaruga instantly.
At the time, there was zero explanation for this. Erza just did it, Ikaruga lost and it made no sense.
I think what bugged me the most is there wasn't even the slightest explanation for how it happened or any attempt to justify it. The story just went "Well, Erza needs to win this now, so she does," It felt incredibly lazy and was super clunky.
Unfortunately, Fairy Tail as a series went on to do this sort of thing a lot which is one of the reasons why I never finished it.

The problem here is that Spider-man's best haymaker shouldn't register to Firelord, it's like an ant punching an elephant. Firelord shouldn't even feel it.
Same thing here, unless Batman has Superman level super strength all his fist is going to do is bounce off her. Exceptions being Wonder Woman when she hasn't got powers.Incidentally it is true that a hit to the solar plexus doesn't need to be that hard. I know from personal experience that even a playful thump can make the air blast out of your lungs if it happens to hit at just the right time and place, but there's still a threshold of force that needs to be reached. It won't happen if a gnat flies into you for example. Batman's blows would be the equivalent of that gnat.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

Stupidest fights:
Justice League getting picked apart by Deathstroke.
Most stuff featuring Harley Quinn recently.
Hulk getting choked out by a snake.
Most of Flash’s fights (seriously, the guy still gets shot by guys carrying laser guns).
Eric Masterson Thor being blitzed by Spider-man and being nearly knocked out by said blitz (the blitz isn’t the problem, it’s him getting nearly knocked out by it).
Venom beating up Juggernaut (if there’s an explanation for this one, I’d love to hear/read it).
