Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

I've been reassured by that one Star Trek episode where Riker and Ro are out of phase with the rest of the ship that you can never pass through floors, only walls.
I remember a certain episode of batman beyond as a kid giving me a strange fear of "using powers to phase through walls and ending up accidentally falling through the ground". On second thought though, thats the least of your concerns; you wont actually hit the ground or anything and more importantly you'll phase through the air molecules as well instead of breathing them
The Earth is spinning at around 1000 mph at the equator, orbiting the sun at 67,000 mph. The solar system moves at 450,000 mph around our galaxy, which in turn moves at 1,300,000 mph through the cosmos. If you can phase through things, falling through floors is exactly the least of your problems.
Inertia though. You'd also have no drag, so you'd stay in place, relative to the observed start point.
