Worst Cases of PIS in Comic Books

In your Opinion, what are the Worst Cases of Plot-Induced Stupidity you have read in Comic Books? (Marvel, DC, Image, or Indie - doesn't matter)

I Vote: when Squirrel Girl defeated Thanos...wtf?

What are your picks?

Yeah, how did Thanos survive an encounter with Doreen?

He should have been atomized.

Batman not dying by stray punches.

This is not bad because it doesn't happen often, but because of the consequence: Batman not being dead.

See any thing Wolverine/Deadpool.

World War Hulk arc

Sentry being punked by Hammond Torch. I realize they had to write him out of the storyline, but come on.

Thor VS Sentry

I actually would take this argument a step further: I don't see how Thor was able to defeat the Sentry that easily, not after the Sentry destroyed most of Asgard. I feel like it was a desperate attempt to end the story featuring Sentry.

actually, Deadpool has regularly gotten turned into hamburger and hardly ever walks away from a fight without receiving some major injuries.....

On topic, Nightwing surviving against that guy with all of the powers of the Justice League, Batman surviving against zoom, and the flash stabbing himself on Deathstroke's sword.

Batman vs Superman and Val Arnorr being the bigger offenders.

They can literally punch out a mountain, and Batman's gonna go "oof" and fight on. Right.

I completely forgot about Batman's "Bat Kick" against the Spectre. That was one of the stupidest moments in comic books.

the next page consisted of the spectre literally telling him that he let it happen though.

I'm aware, but it was still stupid. But then again, so was the whole Korvac story VS the Living Tribunal back in the day. I'll also post another PIS moment in my next posting:

This. That What If made ZERO sense. Korvac beats many cosmic beings yet panics at the sight of an alien armada. 😆

Weakened MM vs Sentry

The Living Tribunal VS The Infinity Gauntlet

Another PIS moment in my opinion was when Eternity and the Celestial Cast of Marvel appealed to the Living Tribunal when Thanos possessed the Infinity Gauntlet, and the LT responded that Thanos was in No Violation of Natural Order despite becoming the Supreme Being of the 616 Universe and wiping out half of the life population of that universe.

However, when it came to Adam Warlock possessing the Infinity Gauntlet, the LT took Eternity's new case and actually agreed with Eternity that Adam Warlock was not mentally fit to rule the universe.

This makes no sense to me. Thanos was mentally fit to rule a universe, but Adam Warlock was not. The Living Tribunal made no effort to subpoena Thanos for trial and review, but Adam Warlock was forced to the M-Dimension for Judgment and was ruled unfit to wield the Infinity Gauntlet.

I just don't buy that, I think the storyline direction forced this plot sequence.

It was such a stupid saga.... 🙄

Batman. Just, the whole concept.

I will fight you all to the death! sneer

Everything Guggenhiem wrote in JSA. Complete and utter hack

So many errors too much to count.
Alan Scot (en entity of living magical energy shown fozens of times) had to create a neck brace to support a broken neck. The same character who simply regrew an eyeball when it suited him. The instant he crossed over into JLA and was under the pen of Robinson he healed in a few panels.

The guy couldnt even get basic history of the JSA and the real world right in the same arc. He had Jay and Alan in uniform a couple of years prior to their joining, going on a mission vs Nazis before the US joined the war in an area of the world that eas fascist Italy Occupied not Nazi occupied.

What a GREAT writer, way to research the subject matter
