Tell me it's a joke. Oh god.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Yea about that...

Yeah, just saw it on the other thread.
Fuck Marvel so much.
It's ridiculous.

Superior Spider-Man has been fantastic so far, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

[quickdevilred]

it wuldnt help aall because superman is probably 10000 times faster than spiderman
spidey would get his spider sense warning but wouldn't be ab;e to react fast enough to avoid the blow
he literally would perceive the spidey sense and the blow from superman at the same time

Isn't Spider-Man much more agile than Superman?

No. Unless you're talking about backflips and crap. In that case, yeah since Superman doesn't backflip.

Agile yes, fast no.

 

[karasu]

Agile yes, fast no.

Superman is plenty agile,brother.

 

[Serrato]

Yah Superman would just squash him like the little arachnid he is. Or Heat Vision (that is as or more powerful that a SOLAR FLARE (Sacrifice Comic). Or Super-Breath (does he ever use that anymore?).

Yep.

[flaxknuckles]

Yep.

Who is he talking to? Don't these artists know how to use thought bubbles?

Kurt Busiek on Superman's vulnerability to magic
http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showpost.php?p=991932&postcount=180

No, neither of us would agree with that. Neither the Hulk nor Gladiator have a special resistance to magic.

Superman is not allergic to magic; it doesn't affect him like Kryptonite. He is simply vulnerable to it the way everyone else is. So a "turn into a bunny" spell would turn Superman into a bunny. It would also turn the Hulk or Gladiator into a bunny.

The reason Superman is described as vulnerable to magic is not because he's more vulnerable to it than anyone else, but because he's invulnerable to just about everything else. [Or was, pre-Crisis, when magic, red sun rays and Kryptonite were about it.]

Magic doesn't affect him differently from the way it affects other people -- it affects him the same way it does other people. He has no immunity to it.

And neither do the Hulk and Gladiator.

And no, Thor's hammer doesn't make him stronger, and there are no spells on it that make it hit hard. There are a bunch of magic spells on it, but they've been enumerated, and none of them make it hit harder. The spells would work on Superman, to the extent that they'd work on anyone -- but they'd do what the spells are enchanted to do. They wouldn't do more to Superman than they do to the Hulk or Gladiator, because those two characters are no less vulnerable to magic than Superman.

Busiek wrote Avengers from 1998-2004 and Action Comics / Superman from 2005-2011 as well as the seminal JLA / Avengers and Superman: Secret Identity lending his opinion some authority.

Oh man. Darkseid taking L's left and right. if there was ever a "reality doesn't live up to the reputation" character, this seems to be it.

To be fair Doomsday technically has more L's than anyone. Heck anyone who lost to Doomsday probably already won.
