Why can't super powers in comics be consistent over time and obey real-world physics?

brevoortformspring answered:

Well, if they obeyed real-world physics, they wouldn’t be super-powers. All of this stuff is fantasy, none of it would work at all in real life.

And I think super-power depictions are typically as consistent as the performance of athletes? Why is it that, on one day, a person can break a world record, and the next day they can’t seem to get anywhere near as close? Super-powers and the performance of super heroes are like that as well.

So, shouldn't Maul have already killed two Jedi before the start of his mini, according to the revelations from Vader 1? Asking for a friend.

Do you think Sidious was really committed to him? I never got the impression he really thought he was going to go the distance.

So with the Deadpool legacy number, from what I can tell, along with the four volumes of ongoing series, you're also including Cable & Deadpool (which I think is legitimate) and Agent X (sure, absolutely). But that still leaves, I think, 8 issues unaccounted for. So, does that mean you're including the two mini-series from before the Kelly run? If so, I believe that's a mistake and inconsistent with what the Legacy number should be. They're supposed to include only ongoings, not minis.

Yeah, we did include those.

REALLY, we just based the legacy numbering off of the calculations we did for issue #250, the Deadpool death issue just before Secret Wars.  If we hit issue #250 37 issues ago, we should be on issue #287.

blaqwing asked:

If a writer on Spider-man & Deadpool wanted to have Spider-man tell Deadpool he was Peter Parker would you have to run that by Nick Lowe or Dan Slott before it could happen.

Nick is co-editor on the book, so he would know for sure. Whether he would run it by Dan, I am not sure. I don’t THINK it would get in the way of Dan’s plans, but Nick would know better–that’s why he’s on the book with me.

“ @timepunkspg Also he’s cursed by Thanatos to not be able to die, so that “soul regeneration” would be reinforced by the curse.“

Two things about that, both things I have said before.

1. Since when would Thanos have the authority to do that? If you look up Thanos’s powers on the internet…well, yes, it does says he can curse people. But it lists him cursing Deadpool as the support for this claim. I don’t buy it.

2. He rescinded his curse in Deadpool vs. Thanos.

Hello there sir ,huge fan of the Deadpool comic I love what you and Duggan are doing with the character and seeing how Deadpool will have a dramatic change with the conclusion to Secret Empire I'm just wondering will this change be for the better or for worse in terms of his character going forward ?

I guess depends on what you mean by “Better” or “Worse”.
