Big Eater/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

** Speaking of which, Bart's a heavy eater as well; the only piece of food he's seen to explicitly reject is raw fish.

** Speedsters powered by the Speed Force don't need to eat huge amounts of food (if they choose to do such, the Speed Force [[Hand Wave|Hand Waves]] away the negative effects); these two just choose to do so because they ''really like eating''.

* Deconstructed in DC Comics' ''[[~~Fifty Two~~]]''. Sobek (the stuttering crocodile) is a [[Big Eater]] animal [[Mascot]]... {{spoiler|until he catches [[Kid Hero]] Osiris in a moment of weakness, at which point he graphically [[Killed Off for Real|kills]] and [[Moral Event Horizon|eats him]], and reveals himself to be the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Horseman of Famine]], created to have a vast hunger which can only be quenched by eating great heroes.}}

* Deconstructed in DC Comics' ''[[52]]''. Sobek (the stuttering crocodile) is a [[Big Eater]] animal [[Mascot]]... {{spoiler|until he catches [[Kid Hero]] Osiris in a moment of weakness, at which point he graphically [[Killed Off for Real|kills]] and [[Moral Event Horizon|eats him]], and reveals himself to be the [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Horseman of Famine]], created to have a vast hunger which can only be quenched by eating great heroes.}}

* Jughead from ''[[Archie Comics]]''. There was actually one story where two fat kids asked him how he managed to eat so much and stay so skinny. He attributed it to lots of running. From [[Single-Target Sexuality|Big Ethel]].

** One comic attributed Jughead's skinniness to a unique metabolism. In it, he undergoes some sort of an accident (a whack on the head), which reverses it so that he always gains calories from ''everything'' he eats, causing him to gain a ton of weight. It's reversed somehow after he is fed cafeteria food and Dilton theorizes that the effects of his metabolism just can't be reproduced.
