Odd things about superheroes...

That often get handwaved away:

1) Many of them are talented at sewing. Fast, too. And nobody notices how much spandex they're stockpiling.

2) Few of the tech guys are billionaires. Even those that are seldom take the next step and get gov't contracts for their best stuff.

3) How do tech guys build, maintain & repair their stuff and still maintain their secret identities? Why doesn't someone notice unusual parts being made and shipped to stately Wayne Manor? The Batmobile does NOT use parts readily available at Pep Boys.

(Also, why doesn't the Batmobile get ticketed, booted, and towed? It's an unlicensed, unregistered, uninspected car with no insurance?)

4) Why aren't more of them sleep deprived or addicted to uppers, considering their schedules?

5) Where do they get health care insurance, and how expensive is it? Is Gamma Radiation exposure a pre-existing condition?



This is just the tip of the iceberg, of course. What else have you noticed? Chime in!

Why/how are major cities & buildings higher than about 2 stories tall remotely financially possible?
Given what happens (in Metropolis for ex) on a regular basis, insurance costs would forbid anyone living or building there.

9) How did a bunch of (seemingly) low-tech or tech-eschewing Amazons create an invisible plane with advanced aeronautic & avionic technology...along with completely invisible fuel? And what is the operatonal range of that thing, considering she probably can't get her invisible fuel anywhere else but Themyscira?

How do you read dials on an invisible aircraft?

To quote the evil clown Bard from "Standard Action", "If I wave my hands around and say 'MAGIC!' will that be enough of an explanation for you?"
 


10. How is it men's clothes only rip and stretch in a certain and women's rip and tear differently?

11. Speaking of women..... you can tell if its cold even if they are wearing thick leather tops or even sometimes armor......

12) What happens when Superman (or an analogous character) sneezes? Coughs?

13) Who was The Hulk's tailor? Those pants- they fit a 5'10, 150lb man (guessing) AND a 7'+ 1000lb behemoth in the waist and inseam, of not the actual legs. Why did his tailor only sell him purple pants? How is it that a white atomic scientist who wears purple pants all the time isn't thought of as more unusual and at least semi infamous, when Prince (who often did likewise), was recognizable worldwide? Shouldn't that have made him at least as recognizable a scientist as Michio Kaku, Neil DeGrasse Tyson or at least Bill Nye? Beaker?
