** Also in ''[[One Moment in Time]]'', [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28611 Quesada claims] that ''[[One More Day]]'' was retconned out of continuity and Mephisto never made a deal with the Parkers - so he never saved Aunt May; she got better thanks to Peter's love and determination. ''Really'', Joe? After everyone up to God himself told Pete that she's as good as [[Monty Python's Flying Circus|passed on, no more, ceased to be, pining for the fjords...]]
* Vibranium. It was conceived as an explanation for why [[Captain America (comics)|Captain America's]] shield is so strong; vibranium is supposed to absorb all kinetic energy from impacts. The thing is, that just makes the behavior of Cap's shield even LESS realistic. [[Shield-Bash|Hitting bad guys with it]] wouldn't do anything because the shield wouldn't impart any kinetic energy to them. It would stop bullets and such just fine, but not in the way depicted - rather than ricocheting off of the shield, bullets would fall straight to the ground as soon as they contacted it (they wouldn't even deform). And forget about all those "clang!" and "ting!" sounds; that energy would be absorbed by the shield rather than bled off in the form of sound waves. Any impacts on the shield would be completely silent. And of course there's the question of what is happening to all this energy the shield is absorbing. While the full explanation is that it's made of a Vibranium-super steel alloy (not pure Vibranium). That just raises further questions...
** The part where Cap can club people with the shield and bounce it off walls is generally explained by the fact that the ''edge'' of the shield is apparently not vibranium (and of course, its the edge that he's doing all the hitting and bouncing with, while its the flat that he's doing all the blocking with). Lord only knows where the energy goes, though -- then again, the list of superpowers and super-tech devices in comic books that routinely violate Conservation of Energy is basically "all of them", so...
