If you know all of these five superhero facts, then I quit:/

Difference between Superman and Flash's speed.

There has been an old rivalry between Superman and all of the guys who held the mantle of the Flash. But their speed is extremely different.

Sure, it seems the same. They move superfast and can even THINK superfast. But Barry, Wally and Jay are fast because they tap into the Speed Force, a mysterious energy field that is the representation of reality in motion, being the very cosmic force that pushes space and time forward. It also grants all speedsters their power, including surviving moving faster then light

Superman however is fast because of raw muscle power. And the reason to why he can survive moving faster then light is that... well, he is Superman.

China has its own Justice League.

China made its own Justice League. Because propaganda.

The team was made of Super-Man, a school bully who got Kryptonian like powers through qi(lifeforce energy), Bat-Man, a fat nerd who is surprisingly athletic but mostly relies on incredible technology of his own design, and Wonder-Woman who used to be a snake(long story).

This knockoff team was actually very heroic. So heroic they eventually cut their ties to the Chinese government and keep fighting the good fight despite being seen as enemies of the government. They also recruited the Asian-American Flash and the North Korean Aqua-Man.

The "real" JL met them and very much approve of them.

Thing was Blackbeard.

Because time travel!

Cyclops' power is weird.

Cyclops' eyes are inter-dimensional apertures between this universe and another, non-Einsteinian universe, where physical laws as we know them do not pertain. This non-Einsteinian universe is filled with particles that resemble photons, yet they interact with this universe's particles by transferring kinetic energy in the form of gravitons (the particle of gravitation). These particles generate great, directional concussive force when they interact with the objects of this universe.

If you didn't get that load of nerd, here is the short version: His eyes shoots out a beam of energy that basically punch stuff very VERY hard. It's not heat vision. Without the visor to adjust the power, Cyclops' beam rams you like a train times a billion.

Spider-Man once dated a god.

Aunt May once hooked Peter up with a nice girl named Hebe who assisted in her FEAST Project which provided food for the homeless. Peter and Hebe actually got along right away and even kissed on the first date.

Buuuuut... well... Hebe is actually the goddess of youth as well as Hercules' wife.

And Hercules is Hercules, so that did not go well for poor web-face.

More useless facts

Well, I guess you better quit

@waezi2: I guess you have to quit.

didn't know about 616 stuff or the chinese justice league - nice thread!

3 of 5, You get to stay

I only knew the Cyclops one lol

@waezi2: I actually knew most of these expect the Parker one and some of the china JL

@waezi2: actually nevermind I did know some of the Peter thing

You should check out New Super-Man, it is an interesting read.

Also 3 out of 5. Didn't know only about Peter and Thing stuff.

3 out of 5.

Didn’t know about Thing.

1) I'm sorry, do people NOT know that? Kinda seems like it should be basic nerd facts

2) I only knew that they had a Super-Man, not the others

3) knew that

4) knew parts of that, not all of it

5) did not know that

(...you're not actually going to quit, right?)

1) It is a common misconception that Superman has access to the speed force. But he is not a "true" speedster, just very buff.

2) Then you should read New Super-Man.

4) Cyclops has a relatively simple but somehow also convoluted power XD

(... I'm not :P )

Superman however is fast because of raw muscle power.

Calling BS on this.

2 out of 5 - simply don't read Marvel.

Thems the facts. Superman's muscles makes him move faster than light. Flash sorta slows everything around him down... kinda, its complicated:P

@waezi2:

Superman's muscles makes him move faster than light.

If that was the case -

it would have looked like this. Muscles alone can't possibly male someone FTL, there is some other component to Kryptonians' speed. Latent psionics, stimulating electric signals in nervious system by using solar energy as a fuel, etc. Whatever it is, it's not a pure muscle power.

3 out of 5 for me, too. You get to stay on the island for another week. I learned the Cyclops thing only earlier this year even though I read X-Men comics for a good long time. Bizarre explanation.

@waezi2: up until now i preferred the old 'his body converts sunlight into energy' explanation, but this actually explains how it bounces off reflective surfaces like a laser even though it's concussive

I think the X-Men are the Marvel characters who had their powers changed the most, often resulting in them becoming insanely powerful, prime example being Wolverine.

Which is ironic since the original idea with the X-Men was that they should have relatively weak powers that would make teamwork that much more important. The original X-Men basically makes a Superman(heat vision, making stuff cold, flight and super-strength)

I agree, there is more to it, but it is the canon explanation. That his muscles can break the laws of physics.

Also, there is a big difference between Hulk strength and Superman strength. Hulk is a bit more... stiff. He is like a guy who obsessively lifts weights in the gym, resulting in him becoming very muscular, but also lose flexibility. Superman is an all around athlete with maxed out everything yet still a balanced body. But yeah, his brain works fast as well, meaning it can send signals with the needed speed so his super body can do superfast stuff.

The only thing i didn't knew wss the thing thing

Dont quit man. You've gotten me before and you will again.

I knew 4 of them. Impressed with myself. Cyclops' optic blasts are sometimes called "punches from punch dimension".
