PIS vs CIS

I tried to find out a while back, but to no avail. But now that I think about it, this is definitely WIS. I mean, come on! He's a freakin' alien! How could any writer be that stupid?

We have spidey, with his super human reflexes and spider sense, against a guy with peak speed. Spidey was looking at this guy. The this guy lifted a table and he manage to land it on the guy that has superior speed and reflexes and he also was looking at him.
Look, i won't deny that spidey can be hit by slower oppnets and Fisk has what he needs to do it. But is very different to try and lift something while your opponet who is faster than you,is looking at you. Then you manage to hit him. It really doesn't make sense imo.=]

Just look at Hush and Superman for all Seasons and you can never doubt Loeb again. "
@courtney12490: True.=] "
Why?
Who knows!!
On a semi-related note, I'm not sure there's an acronym for it, but when the book is about a very smart character like Stark or Richards, smarter than any human is in real life, it's impossible for a writer to come up with the ideas and plans that characters this smart actually would.

" @Gambler said:Exactly" I'm cool with CIS, and on a small scale even PIS. Comics need a little of both in most instances. "I agree with that, it's WIS that I find unforgivable in most places. If you are writing a book, then you should have done your research. "

They are equally worthless.I have no problem with plot devices but CIS and PIS are completely unnecessary.
" They are equally worthless.I have no problem with plot devices but CIS and PIS are completely unnecessary. "Without CIS countless characters would be rendered useless. Without PIS 90% of the villainous plots would fail on page one. Both are, and have been, a necessity. You're entitled to your opinion, but I dont see how comics could function without either one.
- The Surfer getting in an armlock by Black Panther never happened due to his humanoid anatomy, or whatever reason Black Panther mentions in the scan. That's CIS on the Surfer's behalf. In the next issue, Black Panther admits the Surfer could have easily broken free and incinerated him, but elected not to. It's still a bad justification but it makes more sense.
- Batman kicking the Spectre is the worst of them all, not only because of the immense power difference, because the Spectre cannot experience physical pain to begin with.
" Without PIS almost all of Flash's rouges gallery would be rendered pointless. I mean, a dude that throws boomerangs and a Mr. Freeze impersonator? Vs. a guy who can travel and react faster than light? Really? "That's why you don't make characters that overpowered then you can make villains that can actually compete with him.

" @Vance Astro: The thing is that, spidey faces too powerfull opponets( sand-man, hydro-man, venom etc) so you can't say it's bad to use CIS.

Plot Device:Spider-Man beating Venom by using a weapon that emits high pitched sounds.
CIS:Spider-Man KO'ing Sandman with his fists.
" @Vance Astro: CIS isn't when you beat your opponet due to lack of intellect? Like sandman. "No.That actually makes it more believable that he can beat characters like that.It's when Spider-Man wins by means that go against the way the character is setup and their previous showings that cause CIS.
