why don't people in kmc love me? what's so wrong with me honey

There's nothing wrong with you, you're probably just experiencing some withdrawal symptoms, messing with your head.

Join the club.

Matching(or at least holding back) Darkseid's OE in JL#50 is probably up there:

A reminder of the power Darkseid was packing there:

The power of ALL the Old Gods that "God of Gods" Shazam wielded at the time + the Anti-Life Equation + Mazahs Jr.

Pretty impressive, considering that just one of those variables(ie. Steve Trevor infused with the ALE) was able to one-shot Mobius:

Matching Cap Cold's absolute zero, tbh 👆

Snart went easy on Clark, spared his life. he was having a good day

Hmmm,I feel the scene in Final Crisis where he broke Darkseid's singularity and oneshotted a bunch of controled heroes deserves a mention

Below absolute zero temperature is possible thanks to the Mungiforce.

Flash fact.

First of all, lover, you don't read my PMs.

Now to try to answer your question... I believe a good comic to begin with would be Uncanny X-Men #268... even though Fury doesn't appear here, he appears right after that; his part was revealed in Wolverine: Origins, issues 16-20, which have massively expanded on that classic uxm story:

Of course, Marvel's continuity being the clusterfuck it is, I won't be one bit surprised if that's not the only comic having them meeting for the "first" time.

Don't be offended, I haven't read any PMs in days. Weeks even.

Funny you should mention it though, 268 is the one comic i remembered off hand, though thanks for the Wolverine issue numbers, I'll give them a look.

Flash fact.


Negative absolute temperatures can, in fact, exist in systems which possess only a finite amount of energy levels. Theoretically, temperature T can be calculated from the slope of the system's entropy S with respect to its (internal) energy U:

Here, the r.h.s. denotes the partial derivative of S w.r.t. U, i.e. the slope. In a two-level system, such as a system consisting of weakly-interacting spin-1/2 particles in an external magnetic field, entropy as a function of energy looks like this (different sources, so unfortunately this Fig. uses E instead of U for internal energy) :

The lowest possible energy in such a system occurs when every spin is aligned with the magnetic field, this corresponds to E = -1.0 in the Fig. Since the spins are perfectly aligned (no "disorder"😉 the entropy in this state is zero, S = 0.0. Similarly, the highest possible energy occurs when every spin is ANTI-aligned with the field (E = +1.0). This, again, is a perfectly "ordered" state, thus S = 0.0. The maximum in entropy, or the maximum "disorder", occurs when one half of the spins are aligned and one half are anti-aligned with the field; this corresponds to system energy E = 0.0.

From the Fig. above, we can assess the temperature values for the spin system at different states. For example, when the system is at its lowest possible energy (E = -1.0), the entropy function increases very rapidly with energy: its slope is "plus infinity". Thus the temperature at this state is 1/T = +inf --> T = 0. We are at absolute zero, as expected for the lowest-energy state.

At the maximum-entropy point (which occurs at E = 0.0) the slope is zero. Thus 1/T = 0 --> T = +/- infinity. +infinity occurs when we approach the maximum from the left, -infinity when we approach from the right.

When the system energy is between 0.0 and +1.0, we can see that the slope is NEGATIVE, thus the absolute temperature is negative as well. The absolute temperature T is -infinity at E = 0.0, becomes negative and finite between 0.0 < E < 1.0, and finally becomes (absolute) zero again at E = 1.0.

We define "cold" objects as objects which receive (heat) energy, and "hot" objects as objects which release energy, upon thermal contact. The direction of energy flow is given by the SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS, which now states that the total, combined entropy of the two systems in thermal contact always increases. If a positive-temperature object (-1.0 < E < 0.0 in the Fig. above) is in thermal contact with a negative-temperature object (0.0 < E < 1.0) then energy will always flow FROM the neg-temp object TO pos-temp object regardless of how high the positive temperature is. This occurs because an energy flow from neg-T system to pos-T system increases the energy of the pos-T system and decreases the energy of the neg-T system: from the Fig. above, we can see that these energy changes increase the entropy of BOTH the pos-T system and the neg-T system. Thus the total entropy increases upon such an energy flow, so the flow occurs spontaneously as dictated by the second law.

We conclude that negative-T systems are not "cold" but in fact extremely, ridiculously "hot": heat energy will flow from a neg-T system to pos-T system no matter how high the positive temperature is.

Negative absolute temperatures have, indeed, been experimentally realized in spin systems.

I had no idea Magnon was Astner level

They've actually clashed before.

Those few issues were a bit iffy but they were exactly the kind of story I was looking for, so thanks.

We're all in to at least one weird thing, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

You're welcome.

Way's run can be compared to the infamous Clone Saga.

Needlessly convoluted, depressing, protagonists spend 99% of their time being manipulated... leaves you with more questions than answers, too...

However, it is canon.

wonder woman is a total ****, think about it, she joined the justice league which is a complete sausage fest, she flirts with her teammates constantly.

she wants to fuk superman and batman even though the love of her life Steve is not dead yet.

She wants Aquaman to put a FISH inside her

It is a known fetish, I've seen such vids

How fast is heat vision? I always presumed it is light speed since it is focused photons.

But aside from Tales from Dark Multiverse: Flashpoint said it is light speed. I dont recall any other instance where its speed got mentioned

eobard capped it at light speed. but i remember another scene where superman was flying in space "as fast as he could", and shot hv ahead of him.

so unless his top speed in the vacuum of space is below the speed of light (which we def know it's not) then it means hv is ftl. like most of superman's dynamic powers, the speed and power of hv is probably just a matter of will.

On that topic, I suddenly recalled Superman and Wonder Woman's fight in Sacrifice where Superman brought WW from earth to the sun in less than one minute and fifty-four seconds

Superman used his HV here, and even when moved at the sun's surface some his unblocked beam still moving forward

Is someone interested in calculating this?
