1. Would superman kill humans by accident by touching them, hand shake, hugs, sex?
2. Can the planet be destroyed by a punch no matter how much power is behind it?

3. Can superman see through his heat vision, can cyclops see through his optic blast? in comics, how about the real world
4. If a real kid frankling richards age had his power what would happen?

5. Would hulk be too powerful if he had flight and energy manip?

1. No, because he has control over how much pressure he exerts; but his powers in actuality contradict physics anyway.
2. With enough force, I don't see why not, but it would take a lot.
3. Both men can see through their blasts in comics. In the real world, I don't see how it would be any different.
4. We'd all be dead.
5. Not flight, but it would depend on how much energy manip.

These questions are largely based on false comparisons, Big C. As Pr pointed out, comic book physics aren't real world physics. Therefore, asking us to interpret what would happen if a comic character was here is impossible. Their very existence would be at odds with reality, so we wouldn't actually know what would happen. Probably some sort of quantum singularity would occur, because our universe wouldn't be able to handle them. But that's as much of a guess as anything else.

The only questions that have answers are ones that don't require comic logic, like the one about destroying a planet. That can be answered without any comic influence. For everything else, everyone eventually realizes that's it's largely futile to try to view comics through the prism of real world physics.

Hulk can never be too powerful though. Ask his fans.

1. Occasionally
2. No
3. Superman, probably. Cyc, prob not
4. The earth would be made of chocolate and the seas would be made of Coca Cola (that's what I would have done at 6-7 years old)
5. He would be even sh!tter than he is now.

If cyclops can't see through his blasts, he's blind; or do you mean real world?

TROLL!

Agreed.
