No, I don't. It's tedious and turns this from an amusing hobby into a second occupation.
Yes, he is not bulletproof yet durable enough to tank blunt force damage.Is this supposed to somehow show comics are inconsistent because they don't follow your rules?
These are not my rules. These are the rules set forth by reality itself which you seem to be unable to wrap your head around.
This is not my personal opinion, and this is not what I think.
The reason I apply them in certain cases for comic books is because it's the only objective way to judge them. Otherwise, you have to rely on arbitrary inconsistencies. That are in no way uniformed nor make any sense.
If you can survive a nuke to the face you sure as hell can't be cut by a knife.
Yes, blunt force durablity=/=piercing durability. Ask Wonder Woman. Or Hulk.
Yes, it does and it's on the writers being unable to recognize that. If they do it'd their fault, and they should be dismissed. As with durability it extends to all types of physical trauma.
Blunt, cutting, and anything regarding kinetic energy.
Or blunt force durablity=/=piercing durability. There is a reason invulnerability and durability are differet in comics.
No, they're not.
That's your personal opinion, and of which is not universally supported by comic books. Due to how inconsistent they are. The writers don't universally all agree with each other. If anything they're at each other's throats half the time.
I'm not sure if you argue for Superman or because you find his feats from respect threads and post it when someone doesn't follow yyour own logic.
It's literally one of the reasons I was banned from CBR.
I argue for Superman when what I know supports his victory. I argue against him when what I know doesn't.
It's called being an objective debater.
Again with the respect threads when you have been ripping junk from comicvine even on this very page?
I read Superman comics. I haven't read them all. I doubt many people have but I use what I do know.
No, they aren't. Lobo doesn't suddenly become bulletproof. Neither does Wonder Woman.
By logic and reasoning they should be. It doesn't make any sense for people who can survive thermonuclear weapons to be bothered by normal knives or bullets.
The latter example is especially unusual since bullets aren't even sharp most of the time. They're round or buckshot which are pellets. That would count under blunt damage.
That's how idiotic it is.
"They're resistant against blunt damage--but, oh wait. They're susceptible to blunt damage."
It's the difference between a punch and a palm strike.
Or the writer doesn't takes that one instance as Apollo's sole measurement of durability.
Are you seriously going to argue that Apollo is that squishy now?
This isn't the only time Midnighter fights people who should be able to cream him with a punch yet they don't.
He's notorious for doing this.
It is the sole criteria kid.
Says who?
You're the one trying to force this subjective opinion of yours down my throat.
Nothing else matters.
Yes, everything else matters. You don't get to ignore everything outside of their fights with other characters.
Keep your calculations at OBD.
So, you don't want me to give you a way to actually use Superman's feats? As you can't use them without establishing what they actually mean or at least by having a vague understanding of that.
Which you don't have.
I never relied on anything outside comics.
A blatant lie.
You have relied on the same things I have. If you don't then that must mean you ignore when Superman survived being a black hole. After all, it's not a showing against another character. It's just him surviving something.
You see, that's what I mean. You have no uniformed standards. You change at a moment's notice in order to support Superman in any way.
I'm using only comics here kid. Author intent only matters when its in the comics.
Yet another lie. You used a databook. You tried to say the writers universally agree with your subjective opinions, and you tried to flip flop between what kind of feats are acceptable.
You just said a femtosecond feat was acceptable for Superman when Carver replied to you.
Nice strawman logic kid. Anything else?
Thst is not a straw man. That was me illustrating what is wrong with your thought process. You can change your standards whenever you want. This allows you to use whatever you want, whenever you want. You are a shameless bastard.
Nope, never happened. You could accuse me till you are blue in the face and I wouldn't care.
It doesn't matter if you care or not. Your opinion has no place here. It's only the facts that matter. This is what you're not understanding.
Go ahead kid. I don't go by numbers. Its not math.
Yes, it is. When using distance and time in order to get speed. That is basic math.
But he is not that fast. You are too absorbed in your own logic kid.
Yes, he actually is. Now lets use your "logic," and combine it with mine.
Superman was able to tag the Flash.

The Flash is able to instinctively dodge threats within femtoseconds.
http://i.imgur.com/m0yUWi7.jpg
This means Superman moved within that time-frame.
No, I don't think so. You are free to accuse me whatever you want to. Don't hold your breath if you think any of that matters to me.
I don't care if it matters to you or not. The fact of the matter is that this is your problem, and I think you seek help for it or at the very least you need to take a breather.
This is not something you should be so high strung about.
Because at average they are not the same.
That's not even what I was saying there. I wasn't saying they were the same as Superman or whatever.
I was illustrating your thought processes regarding this. That you think people are out to undermine Superman. So, you premptively undermine any characters that are usually matched up against him.
So, you treat them the same as you would imagine they will treat you and Superman.
Again with the bashing? Reported. Don't say I didn't give you a warning.
That wasn't me bashing you. I have genuine concern for your mental health right now. I was just poking at you before but you have an actual problem.
You are the one obssessed with the last word here kid. Do you have OCD?
I am not the one making consecutive long posts that break the forums character limit every seventeen hours after we finish our arguments. You keep digging this up.
It's not me.

I am not disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. I am not restarting this argument every seventeen hours with consecutive long posts. I am not plugging my ears with wax, and refusing to actually use any kind of reasoning ability.
That's what you're doing, and have been doing for the last couple days.
Now tell me how many quadrillions of time faster than light Iron Man is.
Iron Man isn't even attacking someone or moving to some specific spot. This is yet another processing instance. Just like Daredevil's which you posted earlier.
Also, even it was that case you don't get quadrillions of times the speed of light out of a picosecond easily. You would have to move an obscene distance.
Whereas just moving a foot within a femtosecond is three-hundred quadrillion times the speed of light.

As I already noted this is yet another processing instance. Iron Man does not act within a picosecond here. It's even explicitly described as some kind of processing.

Are you for real?
That instance is as valid as any I brought up for Silver Surfer and Thor.
How can you seriously not consider yourself a hypocrite right now?
You even just said you don't use numbers or basic math? How do you even apply it if you refuse to understand it?
Do you apply some arbitrary nonexistent meaning to it? Do you just guess?
Tell us more about how Thor eats mjolnir.mmm [/B]
I heard Carver was a known Hulk fanboy but from what I have seen he is nowhere near as bad as you, and capable of being objective when he needs to be.
He seems to have really changed for the better, and isn't the same as he used to be.
I can respect that.
