MY favorite comic book logic/physics is that someone can train to become a peak human, and learn amazing H2H skills.
Then they take those H2H skills against someone who can lift aircraft carriers and take bombs point blank range, and use those skills to hit pressure points, and weak spots. Also they can survive a punch from because thye know how to roll with it.
Seriously theose strong guys weak points would still be like hitting a steel bar, and even if the highly trained guys did roll with the punch there would still be so much force left over it would knock a hole straight through them.

That frame of Lex Luthor was pretty funny. I am sorry about calling Puck a Peak Human. An old 1982 Marvel Universe I was just reading listed him as that.
you do realize that THAT is the bad physics, right? escape velocity is, what, mach 32? the speed of light's about 800,000 times the speed of sound, so he moved his hand at nearly mach 90,000? come on, man. the bad physics is that that's actually happened, and the bad logic is saying it's bad physics that it's not happening constantly.
I mean according to Einstein nothing can travel faster than light, and the fastest we've ever got a particle to travel through a particle-accelerator is 99.9% speed of light, apparently it would require an infinite energy source to send a particle at FTL speeds, which is something yet to be accomplished.
All im saying is, is it REALLY obvious that their FTL punches rip through reality? Because it's not like we have any idea what would REALLY happen if such a feat was accomplished!
Right so what you're telling me is that somebody with vast superhuman strength and superhuman reflexes moving his body at superhuman speeds is bad physics?
Hell you implied you needed strength and explosive reflexes to escape orbit now ive given you examples its bad physics.

Superman would probably not be able to absorb enough sunlight onto his body within his lifetime to gain enough energy to pull off all the powerful feats he has done. Now if he were sundipped that gets different, but pre-crisis feats especially would still be B.S.
Any situation where a person transforms and adds significant body mass without an explanation (like Hulk draws on an interdimensional source so at least there is an explanation) is B.S. for ex.--Cap American and the super serum--he would have to eat enough protein for his body to grow like that.
There has been a billion times where street level characters should have been killed but haven't.
