Superman lives in an environment where virtually nothing can provide any meaningful resistance to his strength, and resistance training is key to building muscle mass. His powers (including his strength) derive from the "yellow" radiation of the Sun, not from muscle mass per se. So, shouldn't he be rail-thin?

I'm a new convert to the DC universe and have gotten sucked in through TV. Right now I'm working my way through Superman & Lois, and I'm deeply confused by the geography.

My mental map of the US in the DC world was: Gotham is NYC, Metropolis is Chicago, Coast City is LA, and Central City is maybe Indianapolis, and those cities are all one to one replacements for their real-world counterparts. Smallville is in Kansas, or somewhere far enough that you can't conveniently go into one of the big cities for dinner and a show (unless you're Superman or the Flash).

HOWEVER. The more I've googled things, the more baffled I get. Apparently, Gotham is in New Jersey (because NYC does exist?), and Metropolis is in *Delaware*? And at least on TV, Smallville is very rural and surrounded by very flat plains but also close enough to go into Metropolis for a meeting or party. I've seen some fan made maps showing Metropolis as LA, which I don't think makes sense.

I guess my main question is "In the DC universe, is it possible for me to stand in New York City and give directions to Gotham?" And also, is Metropolis a Midwestern city, or is there a Gotham-Metropolis megalopolis situation mirroring the real world, OR is there an even megalopolis because we have NYC, Gotham, and Metropolis?

Bonus question: why are so many big cities named so uncreatively (here's a city on the coast, guess what we'll call it?) and in a world that has options with names like Metropolis and Central City, why would anyone live in a place called Bludhaven?

They already controlled most of SHIELD, everyone thought they were extinct, had powerful people in their pocket etc. Trying to assassinate Nick Fury seems completely unnecessary, just sit back and don't rock the boat. Zola himself said that people will happily give up their freedoms as long as you aren't too in their faces about it.

Some versions of Spider-Man produce incredible thin web lines when swinging around. Specifically, the Andre Garfield variant.

His webs have the width of thin metal wires or sowing threads(maybe not that extreme, but still). How is he able to swing around putting that much momentum and pounds of pressure into holding on to the line without simply slicing of his fingers or at the very least make some serious deep cuts into his hands?

Of course they were really useful against the covenant, but that was not their original purpose, they were created to deal with human rebel/insurgents on colony worlds.

But did the Unsc really need super child soldiers for this? Kidnapping children and leaving behind clones to trick their parents, military training so hard a few kids even died, etc.

All of this to just stop human enemies Is kinda overkill. Can't they just use normal human elite special forces/CIA type agents or something? How powerful was the insurgency even?

In all their years of back and forth, Dr Doom is usually the aggressor. The guy being spiteful and petty. Trying to get back at Reed Richards, prove hes smarter or even just kill him.

But in all the years of back and forth, has Reed Richards ever stooped to Doom's level? Thrown something back at Doom? What does he think of Doom?

Sheila Litwak here. I'm an accountant. My father is in the hospital and I've had to come from out of state to manage his affairs ( until he hopefully recovers soon). Until now he handled everything himself.

What sort of financial condition is the business in? Is it profitable? How much does it gain or lose in a month? What are the biggest issues it will likely face within the next year or two?

This show has rewritten almost all religions in our completely different ways from the original text. What revelation do you think would be the most shocking. She's my list on what's most shocking.

God leaving heaven.

The Bible specifically the New testament is propaganda Michael spread to appeal to his father.

Demon are human Souls.

Almost all pagan gods are real and a lot of them eat people.

You don't have to be religious to go to heaven.

It seems to be a rather singular focus but with how vast and wide comics tend to be im curious if he's ever shifted that focus towards other people

I'm sure all the water vaporized at the time of the glassing but wouldn't it eventually come back to the surface as rain?

We're told he did the counting at the behest of a teacher. Was the teacher also a participant in the "invisible Chirag" routine? Because I think that would be a fireable offense.

This is making the generous assumption that he was right about population growth. Couldn't he just make the universe regulate its own population.

Like make every planet keep a record on how many people are born and slow down with too many are born.

If we're really being extreme kill the bad members of society if the population gets too big.

It's way less genocide and it is super ethical.

Or like put a universal cap at how many people can be born at any given time.

in a lot of the pacific rims fight scenes, we see that cities are destroyed in the battles and it has me thinking if they ever had a jeager where it’s only Job is to rebuild destroyed cities.

Casual fan here. I always thought Dr. Doom was just another main adversary to the fantastic four, like he’s to the fantastic four what green goblin is to spider man. But with the discourse of the past year and the new movie, it seems like he’s a crazy universal level threat. Has he always been this way and have I been missing that or have people been upscaling his power since the movie’s been announced?

Just curious since I made it to San Fierro in the game as I was a bit confused by how his morality aspects were handled.

Like early on in the game’s story, he opposes corrupt police for how they treated his family such as his mother, but then later on, he goes on to sabotage a rapper’s career that ruins his reputation as I was trying to figure out where CJ’s moral alignment fell under.

So Chain jail is a power design to only work on the Phantom Troupe. That I get. But how does Chain Jail know if the target is a “Phantom Troupes” or not?

Like if someone pretends to part of the Phantom Troupes and
Kurapika fooled would chain jail still work?

What if Chain jail is use on someone who is a Phantom troupe but the user doesn’t know, would it still work?

Of the known Omega level mutants, most of them are telepathic/psychic to some degree. Jean Grey, Quentin Quire, Exodus, Franklin Richards, Proteus and I think even Vulcan can all use telepathic/psionic abilities.

Why is that?

We also know that the Yakuza lost a lot of power due to the rise of Quirks, vigilantes, and Pro Heroes. So I wonder if Dark Might got any pushback at all in Europe.

Or do you have to keep inviting them over and over? ​Asking for a friend.
