Earlier, we reported on a study of superheroes that determined Superman as “the best-equipped superhero of all.”
Not only did it determine Superman as the best, but Batman as “the most ill-equipped superhero.”
Besides Batman and Superman, the heroes studied were,Wolverine, Mystique, Thor, The Flash, Spider-Man, The Lizard, Iron Man, Silver Surfer, Black Bolt, and Iceman. (Yes, yes, The Lizard is a villain. And so is Mystique; no matter how Jennifer Lawrence portrays her character.)
“Students at the University of Leicester have been using simple calculations to explain the feasibility of the powers behind of some of the most prominent comic book superheroes known around the world.”
What’s most interesting of this study is that Black Bolt was determined, “the most destructive of the superheroes.” As the leader of The Inhumans, they say their findings are “based on a high energy output capable of resulting in planetary annihilation.”
Black Bolt doesn’t say much. Remember Alanis Morissette on Dogma? Like God, the Inhuman’s voice is enough to blow minds, literally.
They also said:
“X-Men duo Wolverine and Mystique…..were close contenders for the title of world’s finest in the student papers with their multitude of mutant abilities – including increased regenerative capacity and, in the case of Mystique, a mastery of gene manipulation to aid in disguise.”
