He didn't make Eclipso. Just the black diamond known as the Heart of Darkness. She's bound to that stone.

Well, I'm referring to Darkseid basically owning her.
And basically creating her current form, by her encountering the stone.

Hey, now. I don't want to get into arguments over Apocalypse or Darkseid - we know how touchy some posters are about those characters, and how heated those arguments can become. Lets keep our personal opinions about them(and other 'hot-button' characters) out of it. Just post things that either made you laugh, or made you angry they were just so unrealistic.

Por favor, anyways.

I dunno if you were trying to be a smart ass or not - but those are totally valid if they honestly made you just go '🤨?'

I just meant, I don't want people arguing the validity of something another poster found humorous - this is supposed to be entertaining, not heated. 🙂.

Explanations are always appreciated - anything in particular?

For me it is mainly things that Superman does in general but mostly in the older comics. Same with the Hulk, and most of his earlier appearances. More recent things as well, such as pulling tectonic plates together. That is impossible even with unlimited strength.

Do you have protien addatives?

When you're reading a comic and you come across a particularly impressive feat - regardless of whether it's accomplished by your favorite character, least favorite, or by someone you're totally indifferent concerning - at what point do you take a step back, stop suspending disbelief and just utter to yourself "Now, that's just dumb"?

Regardless of whether it's moving planets with giant chains, or some of the weird pseudo-science explanations for the way technologies work, whatever it is.

Where does disbelief resume?

The only thing in comics which bothers me is if a character gets a sudden change in, power, appearance or personality without any explanation. Everything else I chalk up to comics being works of fiction.

Inconsistency like Sym described earlier - or just unexplained (but consistent) power ups/downs?

Power ups and downs. Like in one issue *insert character* is not harmed by *insert weapon/punch/magic attack* and a few issues later they're floored by the same weapon/punch/magic attack or vice versa without so much as an explanation. Wait! You're my e-enemy! To dur with you!!!!1111 durfist

But just portraying a character's durability, strength, speed, skills, intelligence, etc without consistency in the same arc.

Any glaring examples come to mind?

Iceman having survived being teleported into matter, blown up as a human and coming back as steam, having all his matter destroyed by sentinels and coming back, and then he finally gets hurt by Mystique blowing his arm off? 😕

Also, Soljer you told me to PM you so I did. Now respond already! 😛

The very existence of a group named "The Authoriteens" almost gave me a heart attack.
