...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."

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.

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.
56. "RE: i always thought it was more phobia" In response to Reply # 49
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.

...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 Thor=If he doesn't touch his hammer after a minute on Earth he turns into his humanoid form sans powers Luke Cage=White women The Hulk=reason and overwhelming emotion Professor X=getting his block knocked off, walking Colossus=Magneto 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
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.

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).

Seeing that goofy bastard walking around in that tight leather suit (pause) looking like David Bowie with a mullet for all these years has been nothing but entertaining.
