  • Holy crap, after reading some of the comments, I have to say how ridiculous it is that so many comic book fans are so incredibly pissed off by this.

    I mean of course comic books are absurd and unrealistic; that's a given (although it seems like some people haven't noticed). He's using them as tools to teach physics by highlighting instances that are physically plausible and ones that are not and showing why.

    Stop getting all butt-hurt and read something educational.

  • This guy is insanely nerdy, but OMG there's nothing wrong with that, he's HILARIOUS!

  • I think the absolute craziest part of that picture is the perspective.

    HOW IN THE HELL IS HE HOLDING BOTH OF THOSE BUILDINGS!!?!?!?!

  • @JCaesar11 He isn't "debunking" comic book physics. Watch some of his other videos, he loves them.

  • This is kind of stupid,if he had done his research he would have known that superman,when he lifts objects like that his force field protects what he carries from people to huge objects.

  • @MarlonOwnsYourCake im a comic book fan and i enjoyed this

  • This guy is great.

  • @andreirocks1992 His powers don't go away when the sun isn't around. He's like a battery for solar energy. Just because the sun isn't out doesn't mean that his powers go away. However, there are times when the sun's been blocked out completely by one thing or another, and at those times his powers have begun to weaken or even go away totally.

  • Assuming that Superman really exists; straighening the Pisa tower (Superman III) or carrying a plane (Superman Returns) are physically impossible. In the case of the Pisa tower, it could be cut in two due to Superman's force, and in the case of the plane, there wll be a bent or a hole in the fuselage, but never the plane would be raised. Superman will cause more destruction and damage rather than saving the day

  • hahaha!!!! This made my day!
