Well, lets face it, it's gotta be the deafness.

I mean, you get these two super folks clappin ass. The sonic boom gonna be deafing anyone near by. Supes and Wondy...half the east coast deaf. Even worse than all the structural damage from the oscillating vibrating of the superbooty.


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Something pithy!

Great thread Rick!


1) having to wear underwear on the outside

2) having to starve yourself and abstain completely from alcohol, else you won't be able to fit into your skintight suit

3) having to fly without protection against the blinding hot sun, or freezing rain, or windshear, or bugs getting squished against you...

4) having to read the nasty social media comments about you from ungrateful )@()#()_@(

If my powers don't come with a super-metabolism/healing factor/shapeshifting shenanigans to eliminate this risk, I don't want 'em!

Mine for sure would be remembering to log in to the right Twitter account so I don't accidentally out myself when I'm telling everyone about how I kicked Sonar's ass yesterday laugh

or... having to pretend to get injured like a normal human being, and explain why you're not doubling down in pain after dropping a crate on your foot...

Oh yes, anyone who has ridden a motorcyle (without a helmet) knows the existential dread of bugs in your teeth. A june beetle hits like a bullet when you're on the highway!

I imagine it would be many times worse when flying, and I suddenly realize why Lex Luthor had the Legion of Doom build their base *in a swamp!* Any time Superman comes to trash their evil plans, he gets mosquitos and clouds of swamp midges in his mouth! The sheer evil genius of that man!

Having your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts investigated for posting "seditious" content. It was just a meme for grife's sake! And I haven't even figured out Tiktok or Snapchat yet!

Oh sure, let one male superhero get pissed off and it's "ah, that bad guy had it coming for 'x'!" But let one woman superhero get pissed and it's "Oh, must be her time of the month!"

As an Asian superhero, I'm tired of always being asked: "Is it true you're smaller than other males? How does it feel being less muscular and shorter? Do women and men suddenly find you more attractive now that you're parading around in spandex all the time?"

Always being broke AF. Look, I'm not a billionaire industrialist with immense family wealth. Before the canister of goo, I was a data processor. Now, some big shit happens, i go to help, lose my job. Best I can get is night clerk at the seven eleven.

So called 'legacy heroes' with their newfangled power creep nonsense.

I was the original golden age Blandman, darnit, who are these new people using my name? I managed to fight crime with a good right hook and a sedative gas gun, what the heck is an 'Endless?'

Unless you're Aqualad, in which case you'd be expected to be in the tub, when there's an emergency.
