Is Flash making the burger?

[–] rockSlayer 13 points 16 hours ago

I'm antifascist and want to shove burgers in my mouth at an inhuman speed, so I mean, yea

I have a vague memory of that Flash TV series way back in 1990 or so, where Barry Allen has to eat like a dozen pizzas after using his super speed. It was a funny nod to the implausibility of superhero powers. How many burgers would Superman need to eat to maintain his metabolism?

He was famously solar powered, so, zero?

[–] AnUnusualRelic 1 points 1 hour ago

He still would have to expand to a large enough surface to make the whole solar thing viable (and to blend in better in the US).

Nah it's still a good question, does he actually need food or does the sun only power his powers.

Depends on the era and whose writing him that day.

Could Joey Chestnut eat hamburgers like that?

It's missing something... oh right, he's not wearing his klan hat?

Pretty fucked up to try and repurpose that panel against a character that's always been anti-fascist (except the times when he was mind controlled obvs)

Real Americans do indeed physically threaten klanskritters.

Lol anyone got context for the image or is it ai?

[–] Jesus_666 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's the cover of Action Comics #454. The Silver Age was full of stupid plots like this.

Thank you! Now for some reason finding it funny and asking about it gets me downvotes, go figure.

It doesn't pass the finger test, I'll give you that.
