Atlas Pose: Difference between revisions

* This pose is one of the iconic images of [[Superman]]. He's lifting a car on his [[wikipedia:Action Comics 1|very first cover]]; some more early examples are [http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/superman here] (including #28, where he seems to be helping out a statue of Atlas himself!). These covers have been homaged countless times since. In ''[[Superman Returns]]'', he even does an Atlas pose catching the Daily Planet's giant metal globe.

* [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|The Thing]] has been known to do this when moving lab equipment around for Mr. Fantastic.

* [[Spider-Man]] did this while trapped under a bridge (later homaged in a simmilar scene with him in a subway). While he has super strength, it is not as vast as someone like Superman so for him, this was a monumental feat.
