Weaksauce Weakness: Difference between revisions

* The story "The Day Red Turned to Green", in issue #85 of ''Tales of the Unexpected'', featured giant mushroom-like aliens that could be harmed by anything red. The main character found one of their "absorbo-sponges" while spelunking, and anything red that he passed while carrying it turned green.

* [[Justice League]] villain Queen of Fables has strange powers and a stranger weakness. To use her powers offensively, she must base them around a well-known work of fiction (not necessarily fairy tales, but those are her preference) and once she is set on one, she is invincible and invulnerable, ''unless'' her intended victims take advantage of whatever flaw in the strategy the villain of the original story had. If they do, the Queen becomes powerless. For example, she could cast herself as the witch from [[Hansel and Gretel]], forcing [[Superman]] and [[Wonder Woman]] to assume the role of the two protagonists. Trying to fight her the usual way would get the two heroes nowhere, as they'd be as helpless as the two children were, but if they caught on and decided to try shoving her into her oven, the Queen would be beaten. Unfortunately for the Queen of Fables, the stories she uses are just too well known, so under this sort of condition, she is never as much a threat as her powers suggest.
