but Stan, how does Thor stop?

Good point, and it's nice that he considers it, but what about Rogue (other than 'she got it from Ms Marvel')?

Or both superheroes are competitors.

With a "splat" and an "ouch!!!"?

Verily =)

DC writers sucked-ass could be one explanation as to why Marvel has always been a cut above. Part of the dynamic are the explanations of origins and powers and the more believable evolution of their characters...not to mention superior illustrators who tended to draw more FEMALE characters (HELLO!?) than the man-crushers over to DC-

DC could hardly develop suspension of disbelief with Superman...he never washed his fucking unitard for one thing, and if it was indestructible, how the FUCK did Ma Kent sew that shit from the fabric in his space pod?? That's just one small wrinkle in his whole MO, before he ever leaves for Metropolis, there's hundreds during the course of this poorly-thought-out franchise-

Oh yeah, another one that always bugged me:If Supermans' supposed to have superior intellect, how come the writers never used him as a platform to teach the younger readers anything substantial and why did Superman's dialogue always sound like some self-righteous beat cop?? Holes, holes, holes....

Superman has a means of propulsion - earth food doesn't agree with his Kryptonian digestion, it gives him terrible gas.

And people don't seem to smell it?

Oh, everyone smells it. They just don't mention it - just like his Clark Kent pair of glasses "disguise" and the fact he wears his underwear on the outside.

"Is it a bird, is it a plane ... what the hell is that smell?"
"Dude! He just saved your life, cut him some slack."

In an alternate Universe Mjolnir stays put and Thor spins himself around it. Then he lets go and flies off into space feet first, without his hammer presumably.
