Line 249:
* In ''[[Justice League]]'' {{spoiler|the League had pretty much lost against the Brainiac/Luthor hybrid,}} until [[The Flash]] saves the day by running at extreme speeds (to the point where he was circling the world in mere seconds) {{spoiler|and smacking Brainithor around by repeatedly running into him. Soon enough, he destroys all traces of Brainiac, leaving only a naked Luthor lying on the ground.}} However, in the process he was almost swallowed by the Speed Force from moving so fast, and he says he probably won't be coming back if he ever goes that fast again.
== [[Urban Legend]] ==
* In the [[The Cavalier Years|swashbuckling days]] of fencing schools (perhaps more cynically to be known as "street gangs") there were all kinds of rumors floating about of "irresistable thrusts" and "impenetrable parries" which masters would only teach to favorites. It does not seem to have been asked much what happened when someone [[Fridge Logic|tried to get through an impenetrable parry with an irrestible thrust.]] In any case a lot of them were probably just mundane dirty tricks no one ever thought of before.
== Real Life ==
* The destruction of HMS ''Invincible'' at Jutland. The Dangerous Forbidden Technique in this case was the bypassing of safety protocols designed to prevent flashdown of a detonation in a turret from reaching the magazines, and it was done to increase rate of fire. But ''Invincible'' was pounding the crap out of the German ''Lutzow'', so why not? Why not, indeed. The mist that was hiding her cleared, just long enough for two other German battlecruisers to get some solid hits in in the right place, and ''Invincible'' was blown in two. At least one and possibly both of the other British battlecruisers lost that day went up for the same reason.
