Well...ok this is abit confusing for me because its like I agree with what you're saying and I agree with ichi but there are certain areas in which I disagree with both of you. So its going to be hard for me to explain my position.
Well I agree with what you are saying about Ali and Foreman, but the difference is on this forum we hve somebody like Cap knocking out somebody who is 10 times stronger than him in one punch. The Ali vs Foreman match does prove that the human spirit is powerful but Ali never fought somebody who could lift 10 tons if that happened Ali would have died, but in a comic Ali may have beaten the 10 toner. Ali beating the 10 toner would be PIS.
At the same time Cap is better than Ali. Cap can see bullets, he can dodge lasers in zero gravity. Futhermore there are other superheroes like Mantis who have human strength and have the ability to knock out Thor!
So eventhough we are trying to be more realistic sometimes logic goes out of the window. How can a human being see bullets? In the real world they cant but in the comics Cap can. So what we try to do is to get the attributes of the heroes in the comic and try and put them in a more realistic envinronment.
So eventhough Cap can see bullets he will lose against Profesor X because we know Caps mind is not strong enough to protect him from Professor X's mental assault. If Cap was able to beat Prof X in a comic without a rational explanation that is PIS and is not allowed on this forum.
