402751, Which Super Hero Has The Wackest Weakness?
Posted by spirit, Fri Sep-19-08 09:35 PM
When I was trying to explain to a girl that Green Lantern's weakness was yellow, I felt retarded. LOL.

i remember the first time my dad told me that. i was almost in TEARS laughing.
402773, she asked me WHY his weakness was yellow
Posted by spirit, Sat Sep-20-08 12:07 AM
i was all fumbling for a reason like 'well, doesn't blue plus yellow equal green?"

i was trying to explain how the guardians on oa were blue.

the more i kept talking the crazier she looked at me.

LOL.

402799, shoulda used the fear angle.
Posted by IkeMoses, Sat Sep-20-08 03:05 AM
green lantern powers are about exercising will, right?

yellow is a color that signifies fear, a challenge to will.

you coulda played it off like it was some deep metaphor and shit.
402996, ha. that's a creative way of freaking it

...where the villain decked himself out in a yellow suit. He was popping off to Hal on some "Ha! Look I'm in a yellow suit. You're powerless against me!" Hal just said "Look up, I'm going to drop this mountain on you."

Posted by buckshot defunct, Tue Sep-23-08 01:36 PM
And very rarely did the criminals seem conscious of this weakness, it was just an unfortunate coincidence that the mafia happened to obtain a bunch of yellow colored Surface-to-Air missiles.
402818, well, Aquaman is pretty useless out of the water.

i mean, i've never even seen that bit before.

that's fuckin weird as fuck.

402826, Superman. Yes, I said it.
Posted by Frank Longo, Sat Sep-20-08 12:24 PM
Maybe it'd be different if there wasn't so much fucking Kryptonite on Earth, but if everyone and their cousin can either obtain or manufacture Kryptonite, then how is it a special weakness? That shit is more abundant than the color yellow, making him even easier to slow down than the Green Lantern.
402831, His weakness to magic is worse.
Posted by Coatesvillain, Sat Sep-20-08 01:32 PM
When I heard that I just shook my head. Seems like one of those things that was tacked on years later.
403083, i agree

402834, Martian Manhunter
Posted by Melanism, Sat Sep-20-08 01:42 PM
Probably more powerful than Superman and he can be stopped by a book of matches.

Posted by jrocc, Tue Sep-23-08 08:34 AM
than weakness. i could be wrong tho as i'm not big on Martian Manhunter. i thought it more like Storm's claustrophobia.
403600, RE: i always thought it was more phobia
Posted by Brother_Afron, Tue Sep-23-08 11:34 AM
In his short lived series, the writer tried to explain it away as a mere phobia, and it ran for awhile but every other writer at DC was too locked into it as a physical vulnerability and majority rules.
403080, agreed
Posted by forte, Mon Sep-22-08 07:46 AM
so lame and add to it the fact that it seems like everyone on earth has a little krypto and the advent of the red krypto was the worse.

Nah, that makes sense. Lead blocks x-rays in real life.
403661, seems more of an annoyance than a 'weakness' imo

402860, didn't they get rid of the weakness to yellow a few years ago?
Posted by justin_scott, Sat Sep-20-08 06:18 PM
and i have to co-sign superman, at least a little. i mean, they even have red kryptonite, which takes away his powers forever.

403794, thor couldn't be separated from his hammer or he'd turn back...
Posted by spirit, Wed Sep-24-08 12:53 AM
...into donald blake.

iron man originally had to keep his suit powered up or he'd face the threat of heart failure.

it seems like moon knight had some weakness related to needing moonlight, but i can't recall exactly.

hmmm...

juggernaut's only weakness was telepathic attack, hence why he wore his 'telepathic attack proof helmet' which some x-man always used to manage to get off

but you wanted to know about heroes...

marvel heroes generally had interpersonal weaknesses...like villains would discover their secret ID and kidnap their girlfriend or something.

Daredevil=Hot Greek women that just happen to be assassins

Luke Cage=White women
The Hulk=reason and overwhelming emotion
Professor X=getting his block knocked off, walking

Spider-Man=Magical attacks & hypnosis
Juggernaut=Mental/psychic attacks
Storm=claustrophobic
Sub Mariner=rubbing alcohol
Mister Fantastic=Head colds, freezing cold and hammers
Human Torch=Water/low oxygen

I could go on but why?

403318, Hammers? Rubbing alcohol?

403325, you forgot Wolverine
Posted by MisterGrump, Mon Sep-22-08 06:42 PM
His weaknesses are:
-Red heads
-Magneto
-Alcohol
403329, Not really..
Posted by Poisonous Dart, Mon Sep-22-08 07:11 PM
Wolverine loves redheads, Asian chicks, cute young female surrogate daughters and he no longer has adamantium lacing his bones per Magneto and his healing factor makes it so that alcohol doesn't affect him for long.

I just sounded like homie from "The Big Bang" right there.

403331, Have you read an X-Men book since 2000?

Apocalypse gave him his swagger back when Logan was rolling as his "Death" horseman.

403516, this actually happened to Billy Batson once.
Posted by Nukkapedia, Tue Sep-23-08 02:54 AM
As a result, that issue (I believe it was "Power of Shazam!" #28) was more or less a Mary Marvel solo story.

Mary had to go save the city from monsters. Billy stayed in bed with chicken soup and MTV :/

Posted by Rockscissorspaper, Tue Sep-23-08 01:20 PM
Yellow don't do shit to a GL...unless he is a rookie and hasn't conquered fear.

Aquaman (when he was still around) is superstrong with all the benefits that usually come with that power...in or out of water. The out of water weakness was deaded long ago. Not to mention he is telepathic (and not just with fish).
