    And do the security devices in superhero headquarters work against the villains at least as often as they work against the very team whose headquarters it is?

    I guess that makes sense, and cars are probably more practical than having a ferry go back and forth, but geez, at least have another off-ramp or something for someone who takes the wrong turn do they don't have to make the entire trip.

    I thought the ones that started the "headshot the Zombie" trope were the ones that had still-alive zombies turned into mindless beasts by viruses or whatever. Not the actual Undead. Then others just started copying it.

    Older works with zombies (like Xanth) are clear that even chopping a Zombie into little pieces doesn't KILL it. It may have a hard time DOING anything without it's body being connected but it's still Undead.

    Also important considering one of the Titans REALLY likes driving a motorcycle, and another one has a fancy car.

    Would Injustice Batman still be so self-righteous if it was Gotham that got nuked or deleted by Brainiac?

    Probably not, since it's likely that he would have been nuked or deleted along with Gotham.

    Maybe not self-righteous, but if he was sploded a few hundred feet in the air, he’d definitely be high-handed.

    Talentless Nana Spoilers For Anyone Who Hasn't Seen It!

    spoilers:

    Pink Sus! Now that I have that out of the way...seriously? A new girl comes to class, two of your classmates disappear and a building gets blown up and nobody suspects her?
    Furthermore, is she even necessary? If the Government wants all these powered kids dead anyway...couldn't they just blow up or gas the school? What reason is there for sending Nana other than just sadism?
    Orrr did I just answer my own question?
    end of spoilers

    So, if Superman can absorb alternate energy sources (he's absorbed electricity and geo-magnetic energy before) How come he doesn't just use that to switch power sets on the fly?
    There is no "overkill". There is only "open fire" and "I need to reload.".

    I like to think the 90s was the time when comics hit puberty. They’d grown out of being endearing but hadn’t yet figured out where to channel their emotions to not be utterly whiny cocks. -Beadle

    Shooting them in the head comes from the original Night of the Living Dead. It was made in 1968. It's older than Xanth.

    "All law enforcement agencies and the military have been organized to search out and destroy the marauding ghouls. The survival command center at the Pentagon has disclosed that a ghoul can be killed by a shot in the head or a heavy blow to the skull. Officials are quoted as explaining that since the brain of a ghoul has been activated by the radiation, the plan is, kill the brain and you kill the ghoul."

    Lex Luthor using Magical Weapons to get rid of All Superpowered Beings: this can be undeniably more efficient option to wipe out everything that isn't 100% normal humans
    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"

    Why didn't anybody think to go for Psylocke's sash, or hair in a fight. I mean seriously, those things scream "free choke out tools, please take one!"

    They *might* think that, but she's a martial arts master and a telepath, so she might see it coming.

    Or they might want to keep her focused on dodging strikes (which would hopefully KO or kill her if they land) rather than trying to tap her out with grappling since choking her out would generally require one to stay relatively still within psychic-blade range, and there probably aren't many people who are both sufficiently skilled at martial arts to restrain her arms in a way that she can't shank them and sufficiently able to defend themselves if she decides that her explicit action junky tendencies have become blue-balled enough to just decide to lobotomize them with a thought.

    Do characters with the ability to shoot energy beams from their eyes (like Superman and Cyclops) use their power to remove crap from their eyes (like general eye-gunk and strands of hair)?

    Dunno about eye gunk, but Scott's hair should be immune to his optic blasts, like Havok.

    Actually, are Scott's kids as immune to his powers as his brother is? And shielding themselves with cosmic level telekinesis doesn't count.
