Weird Things You Wonder About Characters

[hareluyafan1]

I think I wonder the most about X-men... For Cyclops, if his eye beams are strong enough to bore through a mountain, then how the HECK do his glasses/visor keep it back? Do they absorb the energy? Does it reflect back into the little portals in his eyes? Where does the energy go?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the mineral Cyclops glasses/visors are made of does indeed absorb the energy of his eye beams. When he closes his eyes the energy slowly diffuses out of it.

Muadib basically covered the rest.

For Angel, how can he fly? Like, physically? Birds can fly because they have aerodynamic bodies, internal air sacs, and extremely light bones. Shouldn't he just be one of those mutants who actually can't do anything with their mutant abilities?

DC comics actually has a character called Steeljacket who is a slightly more "realistic" version of Angel. He was a bird-human hybrid with hollow bones who had to wear a special protective suit because of how fragile they were.

Anyone did any story about Fire-breathing dragons(and/or any other magical creatures) got crushed to death by laws of physics as soon as they're deprived of magic?

I remember this from a segment in "Simpsons bible stories" where Unicorn dies after he leaves Heaven

Considering Cassandra Cain's body reading, would watching a shaky cam fight scene in a movie make her nauseous?

And how would it affect Taskmaster (the shaky-cam fight, I mean)?

Space Marines from 40k got their bodily temperature regulation disrupted by their own ribcages become armor plates?

Also, if Cass looked at herself in the mirror, could she read her own body language?

Probably. You can hear your own voice, right? I can look at myself in the mirror and use sign language (granted, in both cases we know what we're trying to communicate).

This would be more complicated - Cass would maybe pick up on some subconscious stuff she's thinking/feeling.

Probably makes lying to herself real annoying.

Cass: *while looking in the mirror* I don't need to sleep. I can handle being out and about for a third night in a row. *sees her own body language* Don't you start!

...very valid point.

Would Batman get pissed, or applaud, someone that was able to track and pervert his own privacy and exploit his own weaknesses the way he does his own allies and family?

It definitely seemed to annoy him when David Cain used to do that.

For those familiar with the Legacy of Kain games: if Kain was meant to be the guardian of the Pillar of Balance, what about the other Pillars?

Where do the Atlanteans get their metal weapons, armor, and equipment? (DC or Marvel.)

Do Xenomorphs poop?

I get why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started out in the sewer and all that but after a while you'd think they'd get new digs, right? Like, why do they stay in the sewer?
