I'd say Alan Scott's (the original Green Lantern) rings impotence regarding wood.  

That might have made sense to someone when he first appeared in the 1940's but it's always been a stupid weakness.

Kryptonite. It's a friggin rock of a planet that exploded. Why is Superman allergic to the planet he was born on? Even when he was raised on earth he should have died to an overexposure (I mean it's a whole goddang planet) of Kryptonite at birth.

Martian Manhunter's weakness to fire is pretty lame when you think about it.  The guy has most of Superman's powers, plus shape shifting, Invisibility, phasing, AND  Telepathy!  He should be freakin' unstoppable, BUT if he sees a match he quivers in fear and is totally helpless!!  One look at Firestorm across the damn street would put him into a coma!

It's usually explained that the rocks only became radioactive when Krypton exploded (or, in the John Byrne version, shortly before that), but that still doesn't explain how its radiation can be so selectively dangerous.

Somewhere I read(don't remember where now) that this is because superpowered Kryptonians absorb radiation a lot faster than normal humans. This is why the effects of Kryptonite poisoning appear much later in humans. Don't know if it is true though.

Well, it's not really selectively dangerous. Prolonged exposure has caused cancer. The concept has always struck me as "this is a piece of your homeworld which you had no superpowers on and thus the rock takes your powers away. And since it's irradiated it not only takes your powers but makes you weaker." Which is dumb but when it comes to comic book logic it makes sense, kinda' not really.

@ComicMan24: That would make a little more sense, yeah.
@Doctor Damn: Yeah I remember Lex had to amputate his hand 'cause of the Kryptonite ring he constantly wore. But you'd think Daxamites, for instance (as they were descended from Kryptonians) would at least be a little more immediately sensitive to Kryptonite than humans are. Unless I'm missing something there...

For a little while, after "Crisis" and for "Infinite Crisis" Power Girl had a pretty lame weakness.  She was vulnerable to, like, any Unprocessed Material.  Take her down with a branch, but invulnerable to a baseball bat.  Lame.

I remember the episode and the Green Guardsman, but I didn't remember the aluminum weakness.  Yes, that is riduculous.

Cole MacGarth: his weakness is water. Water.

I know, it makes sense, given his powers. But still.

That one is just for superheroes though? In this thread we can say Matt Fraction's weakness to good characterization, but in that other thread we can't? *grin*

@virgin4life: Agreed. Can you imagine humanity doing something like this?
"Gentlemen, you will be the vanguard of our invasion force as we conquer this alien world. Your mission will be to completely disable the defense of a planet that is more than 80% battery acid, where said acid routinely falls from the sky and is consumed in copious quantities by the natives, who are also largely composed of acid. You will be doing this stark naked. Don't worry, we'll be giving you a nerve gas weapon that has an effective range of nearly six inches and is possibly capable of incapacitating their diseased young. Any questions?"

I mean, sure, it makes sense for Cole; he is a living power battery. Electricity + water = bad. But it still sounds weird and is very annoying in the game.

I believe that was because when Achilles was dipped in the river styx by his mother she held him by the ankle, making it the only part of his body not touched by the river styx.

When kryptonite was first introduced it was irradiated with the radiation that killed the kryptonians. His powers were a part of kryptons natural physology. They had highly advanced gravity and evolved to be extrodinarilly durable etc. Hence why he could only leap tall buildings in a single bound like we can on a planet like the moon. They changed it to the ability fly but they kept the story.  Their immune system was highly advanced but the radiation affected their biochemistry with fatal results.

 

Then when they changed  Superman's powers to being the result of his body being able to process and harness solar energy I think they've explained it as the radiation in the kryptonite effects the biochemistry of kryptonians resulting in his body being un able to absorb the solar raidation.. after that it's just radiation killing  him.

Yellow. I mean Parallax kinda makes sense of it but it's still silly. "You can't affect anything that is yellow." Laaaame. Mustard slips right through his force field. What about Rot Lop Fan the Green Lantern from a dark sector where he had no concept of yellow, green, lanterns or light. What's he gonna do?

YA Alan Scott still has that weakness....actually in one of the comics with the "nazi supervillians" ruled the world in the future, thats how alan scott was killed...they but a bomb inside a wooden box. The blast from the bomb didnt kill him but it was so low tech that he didnt even think to protect himself from the wooden shrapnel the box shot out during the explosion. So he pretty muich died from splinters
