The picture of Superman and Spiderman makes it appear that Superman might be super dense. Otherwise, he would tend to pivot around his elbow in that picture, regardless of how strong he was.
What's this new thing? Are you into your blue period?
Not necessarily. He could also be pressing down with his super strength for his elbow to remain firmly planted on the column. However, the column would probably break.Quote:

As for Superman, it wouldn't matter whether he was pressing down or not. Unless he was incredibly dense, the physics would be wrong. Him pressing down wouldn't cause him to become heavier, so Spiderman, would end up rotating him around the point of his elbow, by pulling on his arm, which would act as a solid lever prying up his weight. Spiderman has the strength to lift the weight of a heavy guy, so that wouldn't be an issue, and since Spiderman's feet are planted on the column, the end result would be that Superman would rotate or the column would shear off.
Hmmm...I just realized what you really meant. You meant his whole body and after thinking about it, you're right. If he can fly then he would be able to make himself heavier by in effect flying downwards while standing....He'd probably move the whole Earth though :eek:Quote:

Ironman...well, nobody can even suggest how to move that much mass without significant fuel reservoirs.
The blue woman is Raven Darkholme from Marvel Comics better known as Mystique.Quote:

Eventually, it would probably escape the Sun's gravity through the added momentum by Super Man's actions and global warming would be the least of our worries....We'd have the very opposite worry.Quote:

He's supposedly shooting a VERY strong, reaonably heavy substance (try throwing a feather) on a flat trajectory for a very long distance at a very high speed. Even assuming that the stuff weighed less than an ounce per meter, which would mean that it would be lighter and stronger than any substance known, to get the kind of distance and volume he's creating would mean significant recoil and a HUGE expenditure in weight. Also, unless the stuff evaporated (also like nothing known), he'd be entombing a city at the rate he's going.
By the way, you might want to check on the length of the intestine, though I'd have to say that it took a lot of guts to make the claim that you did.
One of the stranger posts, so it fits right in.
lol. I love that!!!Quote:

Well maybe not the intestine but I remember clearly my biology teacher back in school a lifetime ago saying something in the human body was something like 2 miles long.Quote:

If you all keep posting images this "not so big in GB thread" is going to start taking server resources...
At which point some mod will come along and tell us it's time to go home ;)
I have decided what's happening.
I have not.
Yes you have.
Not?Quote:
