Line 58:
* Obviously, [[Superman]] suffers from the same forgetfulness both in the comics and in ''[[Smallville]]''.
** Specifically, he frequently forgets to use his super speed while attacking. However, he is in the habit of standing and taking shots to intimidate his opponents so it's not always a case of forgetting. And how anyone ever manages to sneak up on him when he has super hearing is a complete mystery. Except for Batman, because he has [[Crazy Prepared|active noise cancellation technology built into his costume for just such an occasion]].
** Superman has a particular aversion to dodging because if he ducks, whatever misses him will hit something else in the surrounding landscape. Since most supervillains only shoot things at Superman that they hope will actually damage him, that means Superman ''really doesn't want'' that kind of mega-firepower hitting anything else in the landscape.
* Marvel's Vision has occasionally fallen victim to similar attacks (though it's rarer). In one issue of ''What If?'', he was killed by a parasitic alien vine that grew into his bodily systems. A fan wrote in to ask what was up; the editors [[Ascended Fanon|eagerly latched onto his suggestion]] that "the plant in question isn't entirely tangible itself, and that's why the villain used it".
** An ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]]'' comic had [[The Vision]], along with [[The Mighty Thor]] and [[Iron Man]], taken out by ''knockout gas''. Hmm, a [[Physical God]] who can control winds, an unbreathing android, and a guy in a sealed combat suit? No problem. The criminal masterminds who took them out so easily?... Well, [http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/trogs1.htm you've got to see this one for yourself].
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* Speaking of the [[Doctor Strange|Sorcerer Supreme]], he is repeatedly in situations where his virtually unlimited mystic abilities could resolve the plot, or at least make it much simpler. Alas, the good Doctor's imagination is often limited to that of those who write him.
** This is less of an issue now that Strange is no longer the Sorcerer Supreme. He's still the go-to occult expert for the Avengers, but he no longer has the "virtually unlimited mystic abilities" that come with the title.
