how do we explain humans such as batman or the punisher them being able to defeat superhuman opponents i mean ima writer and im lookin for ideas on how i can explain it in my books? im not gona use the exact ideas but i just need somestuff to spark my imagination a little so if someone could help that would be kool.
Sorry correction Plasma, and here she incinerates him

Many different ways. Some of which make little or no sense at all.

Generally intangibility does not allow the user to penetrate energy fields and prevents the user from moving objects while intangible.
Depends on the form.

4. Is Intangibility > Invulnerability?
Invulnerability is usually always on and takes no strain to use but it leaves the user open to various other forms of attack (toxic gas for example).
Intagibility is rarely a passive ability (though many use it reflexively to defend themselves) and sometimes requires energy to maintain. However, it does not leave to user open to any form of attack except for ones specially designed to reach the user.
Beyond that intangibity has a variety of uses (including the ability to move in any direction when fully immersed in a solid) while invulnerability has only one.
Personally I would prefer intaginbility along with a few people to tell me "Hey look out!" over invulnerability.

3. No one wants to be friends with him.
4. Irrelevant, he's already dead.

2. Higher Dimensional Passage. A Flatlander is trapped by a circle. But a 3D being isn't because it can move in a third dimension (not really going through the circle, more like up and over, but the result is the same). Advantage: no energy field effects. Disadvantage: you need to access that higher dimension (if there is one). If you have to create one, that takes a helluva lot of energy.
I was just curious which method comic physics tends to prefer, or even if there was a third approach I wasn't aware of. Bit it seems like it's mostly the MP approach characters tend to use.

But you can still get knocked around or get trapped. I suppose intangibility coupled with a warning sense would be the best way to go. For building excitement in a story though, intangibility might be harder to write around w/o PIS/CIS.

1. Matter Polarization, which takes advantage of the fact that matter is mostly empty space. Therefore, if you align the atoms just right, two solid objects can pass through one another, like galaxies passing through one another. The problem with this approach is that you still have energy field interaction (electromagnetic), which would probably generate a lot of heat and disrupt the two objects anyway.2.

Generally yes it's MP (under the name of phasing). Vision apparently lowers his density until he can slip between atoms or something. I don't know of any comic character that slips into another dimension for intangibility.
Some matter manipulators (Surfer, Doc Manhattan, GL) seem have used their powers to alter the material as they pass through it to mimic intangibility.

Simply put, it wasn't. It's still around. No one under high abstract could even scratch it. That thing had imperiex's full power and apokolips tech.
