SM/FL lasted two issues of constant fighting, and FL provided his rationale for not simply destroying a city-sized area to ensure that SM would be defeated. It's debatable whether or not FL should've gone down after all he experienced, but he did get hit head-on by a speeding train, was at ground zero of a roughly block-sized explosion, and went through quite a few other things too.
It's the most recognizable instance of PIS, and certainly not an example of good writing, but also not the worst PIS.

It's hard to judge your freaking face! Are you happy now? Does it feel good? Did you want someone to say that to you?
We all know the worst case of PIS is Hulk surviving being punched by Captain America. He should have been killed instantly, not merely knocked out.

I'm just waiting for Clint to bust out his anti-Magneto arrow. It's gonna be glorious.
I love how Reed explains to Magneto he merely just tricked him and his powers still work, but upon finding that out Magneto still doesnt use his powers and gets taken away by the cops. Natch!

Even in her most depowered state, she can beat natasha while reading a paper. She reads a headline teleports the widow into the middle of ocean flips a page and continues reading the rest of the paper.
She does not even need to use magic, go to limbo or armor up and turn into a raging demon lord for this battle. The Soul Sword should be useless against natsha as well, but they will probably forget that too..( unless they fry her brains out or absorb her soul)
This is McDuffie's explanation:
"Read the scene again and this time pay attention. The Surfer allowed the Panther to "restrain" him in the hope of finding out what the FF was up to. A panel later, the Surfer's assistant blasts the Panther unconscious. The Surfer is irritated because he wanted the Panther to talk, which he thought he might do if the Panther believed he had the upper hand. Most of the people who ***** about this have only seen a scan of one page, or have poor reading comprehension skills."

well i thought the vs comic is all about fighting. big one on one battles but you're right maybe they have some plot device that makes it look like a reasonable battle.

To be honest I don't buy McDuffie's explanation. I read the scenes and I didn't get the vibe he was talking about. I just think he's just making up an excuse to cover what's one of the biggest PIS moments for Surfer.
