Line 9:
* Used in the tongue-in-cheek ''Punisher [[Kill'Em All|Kills the]] [[Marvel Universe]]'': [[The Punisher]] actually manages to kill the nearly unkillable [[Wolverine]]. How does he do this? By forcing good ol' Logan into a generator, using his metal bones as a conductor to electrically fry every cell in his body.
** [[Power Creep, Power Seep|It is worth noting]] [[Canon Sue|this wouldn't work these days]].
*** It wouldn't have worked back then, either. A similar electrical trap is used in the ''Havok: Meltdown'' graphic novel simply to render Logan ''unconscious''.
* Mentioned for being [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]], the otherwise quite forgettable ''[[Superman]]'' vs. ''[[Dracula]]'' comic ended with Dracula draining Superman's blood and absorbing his power - at which point his ''[[Your Head Asplode|head exploded]]''. Superman, after all, is solar powered.
** A similar incident happened in ''[[Runaways]]'' - the teens discover that one of their newest companion is a vampire and, to save the others, Karolina offers herself to the vampire. When he goes to drain him, he realizes too late that Karolina is solar powered and he promptly explodes.
