If Superman was working on a car.....

[Monel Funkawitz]

Theoretical question.

If Superman was working on a car, late at night, say changing a tire for some old ladies. He is holding the car up by the back end, and changing the tire. Well, it is late, wayyy after Bingo time (Around 11 or so) and it is very dark. You happen to drive by and see him, would he get pissed if you helped him by turning on your Mag light with a Krypton bulb so he could see?

I'd say the car would come down and smush him, but my friend says otherwise. She believes that Krypton is NOT derived from Kryptonite, thus causing no harm. I think she is full of chit. Have you ever seen Superman with a Mag light? No. I rest my case.

Now I understand why they created the Off Topic section! I don't believe that the car would come down though.

Kryptonite is a derivative of Krypton in some fashion.

Anyway, Krypton gas is just what the bulb is filled with to get a brigter light.

I'm afraid that your friend is correct. Kryptonite is a radioactive substance created from the remains of the planet Krypton and it is the radiation from the kryptonite, not the kryptonite itself, that causes the problems for Superman. Since our Krypton is non-radioactive, the Mag Light would not be a problem for Superman. Oh, and shouldn't this be in Highly Technical? 😛

tell your friend to read up on some chemistry and some superman comics. hehe

If the car was an Altima, Maxima, or WRX it would crush him... If it was a camero, mustang, firebird(basically any pony car) it would not crush him....

It does not make sense. None of this makes sense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor you must acquit. The defense rests.

I've spent too much of my life asking questions like this and getting stupid looks. Now I get to do the looking....

Nooo, the dreaded Chewbacca defense!

And this mind boggeling question.


If a man says something in the woods alone and their is no woman around is he still wrong?

Superman should have flown the car to the nearest auto shop. What a lazy punk. 😛

Actually, Kryptonite weakens Superman, but it doesn't make his skin any more/less vulnerable to damage. Superman could be wearing a Kryptonite necklace and still have bullets bouncing off of him. He just wouldn't be in any condition to fight back.

A normal person could change a tire in what 15 minutes, that includes jacking up the car and all. What the hell is taking him so long to change the tire. He don't need a tire iron, nor a jack, so its just twisting the nuts off, take tire off, put tire on, put lug nuts back on, let down car.

If I was the old lady I was slap his slow a$$.

Maybe that's what he's trying to get...

Peter : "Superman, what're you doing down here?"

Superman : "I ripped a hooker in half after she made a crack about me being faster than a speeding bullet."

 

[Pacfanweb]

Superman wouldn't need the light, he has X-ray vision. If he can see through things, I'd say he can see in the dark just fine.

<< so its just twisting the nuts off >>

I know it takes me longer than 15 minutes to twist my nuts off.

What if her bike was on the back of the car with a Kryptonite bike lock, would that matter?
