350 times Earth Gravity

All this "no way bullshit!" talk is pointless.

If we go this route then Superman can no longer save people while flying because his momentum means people would just snap like twigs when he snatches them up to save them from peril.

Exactly, also he can't fly around the planet at light or near light speed because he'd wreck havoc with the atmosphere and wind up destroying the world.

The thing I LOVED about the Quasar comic was they attempted to bring in SOME rationality into the comic. Quasar's max speed in the upper atmosphere was Mach 9-10 even though he is capable of much faster speeds because he knew he'd wreck the planet.

RIP Quasar.

You're right in that comics obviously require the willing suspension of disbelief.

Ding ding ding. 👆

Why? That totally defeats the purpose. Comics, by nature, are completely farcical, and are an escape from reality.

if a writer could infuse a "human interest and a semblance of truth" into a fantastic tale, the reader would suspend judgment concerning the implausibility of the narrative.

That's why. Otherwise why not just have Supes sneeze away solar systems or other idiotic crap.

Idk about that, applying real world physics to the fullest wouldn't it be the case that to fly at light speed Superman would have to be like light (more or less massless)? In which case he wouldn't wreak havoc anymore than sunlight does.

See my other post 😛

If you're interested in realistic scenarios in comics, don't read Quasar. Seems a little counter-intuitive.

There, that's your "semblance of truth".

I actually wrote a superhero novel two years ago where I tried to have Herald levelers be "scientifically realistic"

Not only did it turn out that most of my "science" was crap, but it ended up contributing to the story's bad quality.

Writers shouldn't try very hard to be realistic unless they actually know their shit.

And the number of people who are both knowledgable in physics and good at writing is very, very small I'm sure.

yeah, blame science for your shitty writing uhuh

The other half was that I was in High School and inexperienced at writing. 😛

Anyone who needs to breathe within the hour is dead. Merely becuase oxygen would be likley compressed into liquid form.

the crushed lungs and diaphragm would precede that horror

Lmao.

i'm pretty sure everyone knows what causes snoring, so just imagine that person's throat meat weighing several hundred pounds

Neutron stars have lots and lots of gravity. The comic depicts this.

😂 Throat meat sounds like a pornographic reference. "Take that throat meat baby yeah".

Ok, it seems like everyone has made their decisions but since I am the OP... my vote in this thread is "gold". As soon as the switch is clicked and the gravity is increased, everyone that is on the list body explodes from the inside out.

Bada or Pr, please close this thread.

Theoretically Namor and Aquaman should both survive.

True true.
