So with all of the comics the members of this board have read over the years which plots/stories/characters do you think are the goofiest? Like the ones you think of and ga "Man thats just dumb!"
For me it is easy. Paste Pot Pete for character. The guy creates a paste that is powerful enough to make grown men stick to the ground, halt speeding cars and honest to god stops a rocket mid flight. The years of lab work needed to create this must have been amazing. And what does he decide to do? Rob banks for a few hundred bucks for money. Why? Cant he just sell the paste and make millions? Wouldnt the government just jump at the chance to buy a substance that can halt enemy vehicles and rockets with no effort and that is clearly so easy to make a dude can do it in his basement?
Also why dont the government reverse engineer it and other weapons from bad guys and super villains to have that tech themselves? You always see in comics when the bad guys escape from jail and their weapons are just in some weapons closet. Why arnt they in some lab being looked at? Remember that issue of Amazing Spiderman they just gave The Beetle his suit back? Really? Why did the government not take the suit and make it and enhance it and have their own set of beetle suits or The Shockers weapon?
So what are some goofy things that you found in comics?
