How do those little wings on Namor's ankles let him fly?

[CaptainWacky]

It doesn't really make sense.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

It's definitely the wings, though. Namor couldn't fly until he developed the wings during adolescence; on a couple of occasions his wings have been damaged in battle, and he's lost his ability to fly.

 

[CaptainWacky]

And people complained about Watto's anatomy making no sense!

 

[Gagh]

It's because he eat lots of blue Smarties.

 

[CaptainWacky]

How does being able to light himself on fire let Johnny Storm fly? NOTHING MAKES SNESE.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

^^Not really. Think of a hot air balloon; heat rises, causing the baloon to inflate and rise. Johnny is able to ride the thermal heat waves...er sumthin. That one probably makes sense.

It's a secret message to make INNOCENT CHILDREN SMOKE DRUGS.

Tobor, the 8th Man used to smoke "radioactive cigarettes" to give him more power.

So how come, when people are burned to death, their corpses don't take off, and start whizzing around all over the shop?

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Well, the differece is that Johnny can control his flame. He's able to concentrate his flame much like the thrust of a jet or rocket.

Graham Norton has also harnessed the power of flaming

 

[Archibald Nixon]

The wings emit antigravitons, DUH.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Jessica Alba is so fucking overrated.

 

[Tisiphone]

I re-read The Second Coming last night. Found it in hardback at local store.


(I assume this is X-Men talk)

 

[CaptainWacky]

Is that the one where Nightcrawler meeps?

 

[Tisiphone]

Yeah. *sniff*

And Cyclops gets all up in Rogue's face and demotes her.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don't like Total Asshole Cyclops.

 

[Tisiphone]

Yeah, he's a dick.

 

[Gagh]

I can't wait for Marvel to retcon Captain America / Steve Rogers back to life through a Atlantian blood transfusion, or something, that makes the wings on his costume's mask REAL, and he can fly with those.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I can't see wearing a suit like that if I wasn't able to fly away on a moment's notice.
