I don't know why, but I've always thought super-breath was really a neat power. I eventually decided Rockhopper Lad had to have it.

I think mine would be hot though ... not cold.

Fire breath. Why not?you'll never need a match or lighter again

Probably my biggest disappointment in the Man of Steel movie was an appalling lack of super-breath; on the other hand, I'm pretty sure it wasn't featured in the 1978 Chris Reeve movie either.

One of my favorite moments in Crisis on Infinite Earths was when Supergirl figures out that the best way to beat the reforming stone status of the Anti-Monitor's fortress was to delay their reformation. She did it by using super-breath to scatter the pieces as far as she could. Her line? "Super breath may be one of my dumber powers, but it sure comes in handy now and then!" or something like that.

Super-breath was used very cleverly in the late-'80s Superboy TV series. In the first season, Clark and Lex Luthor were both college students. In one episode, Lex is being a jerk to someone and Clark surreptitiously blows him into a nearby fountain.

Their amazing lung capacity (if I remember right) was also used to explain how Clark and Kara could survive unaided in space.

I like Superman stories so much better when they don't try to explain things scientifically. "He's Superman, dangit" is a good enough explanation for me.

That type of explanation also makes a lot more sense than "He's Batman, dangit! He just needs time to prepare!"

Just what I was thinking of when I read Rocky's post..

Great minds!

Supergirl's death, though sad, was very well-written.





To add to this, instead of trying to use science to explain how a superhero's powers could work, I'd rather use my imagination to think of new applications of their powers.

hmmm...did anyone ever use super-breath to inhale something?

It would be a great second power for Matter-Eater Lad.

In that first season of Superboy, our hero inhales a gaseous alien and then traps him in an oxygen tank.

Super suction breath!!

I seem to recall at least one instance of Superman (or was it Mon-El?) inhaling a poisonous gas and exhaling it again safely in space.

With the tact that almost brought us the Black Bomber, DC were going to take a look at counter culture. Bong Boy was to be part of the DC Explosion. That it turned into an implosion has been whispered as being due to Bong Boy's powers breaching the fourth wall. Issues of the Cancelled Comics Cavalcade containing Bong Boy were pulped due to their hallucinogenic properties.

they were so hallucinogenic, that all memory of them has been erased from us.


Until thothkins remembered, that is.

Maybe Thothy has super-memory powers.

Maybe thothy is Lady Memory in disguise!

I have long suspected this and can't wait for Ex to post pictures of his meeting with Thoth.

Unless thoth erased Ex's memory of the meeting...

has anyone besides Rocky ever killed a thread?

Rocky is a thread serial killer.

My memory of that has been erased too!

Well, what do you remember? he he


CSI Legionworld spin off to follow.

Thoth will always remind me of Psycho Pirate now.
