For some fun, share those random thoughts and questions that just pop into your head as you?re standing in the shower and your mind wanders to leave your body to its manual and intimate task of scrubbing away the filth and sin from itself. Who knows? Maybe someone here will weigh in with some rationality ibefore you invest your life savings into building that better mouse trap. Here?s mine for today:
How do super heroes who can fly and are unnaturally strong stay in such superior physical shape? As far as I?m aware, building muscle requires resistance and a constant focus on exceeding personal limits; what is Superman lifting and on how rigorous a workout schedule if his signature abilities are flight and beyond superhuman strength? Wouldn?t he need to bench like a small mountain about 4 times a week for pecs like that? What benefit would a set of push-ups have if the defiance of gravity is basically what his body does? And for comparison?s sake, the strongest normal people in the world can?t throw the most weight they can lift the length of a football field, so if the Hulk can throw a multi-ton bus, I?m guessing it?s not quite anywhere near the upper limits of his strength. I?m just saying, the Marvel and DC universes should be rife with dad bods and saggy boobs unless they frequent a gym near a black hole or something.
