Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
As always, there is an XKCD for this (#3123, Cannon)
Title Text: Achilles was a mighty warrior, but his Achilles’ heel was his heel.
The original original meaning of canon was "measuring rod" or "straight stick," tho.
Is this why they call big boom sticks cannons?
It’s actually fanon if fans are developing the lore rather than the original creators.
Lex: It's called...Kryptonite.
I told a coworker once that m&ms were my kryptonite and she went and gave me a huge bag of them. I don't think the average person understands what kryptonite is.
Saying something is your weakness is common to say it's something you enjoy so much you can't help yourself.
Missed opportunity by not dropping dead at the sight of them
"Oh no, aaagh, now I'm vulnerable to small arms fire!"
In hindsight it’s good superman never needed surgery as a kid.
When he did need a fake tooth extraction he used his heat vision to puncture the sedation gas tube to drug the dentist
That seems incredibly unsafe, is Supes qualified to administer the gas?
Worst part is that he only wanted it to fake medical procedures as reinforcement for his Clark Kent persona. This was when he was in school (iirc, i read the comic from my fathers collection as a child) so couldnt possibly have gotten any qualifications for sedation yet
Edit: I think it was golden age supes, iirc he also faked bad eyesight and a broken arm in the same comic. Anyone else knows which story Im recalling? Which one was it? He was planning to send a robot for any later dentistry appointments which lacked the tooth
Maybe they did understand and just wanted you to die.
Forbidden pleasure that you're too weak to hold back from.
Wouldn't it be you who's using the word wrong? Or do M&Ms literally make you weak/kill you?
They're not good for you, and I can eat a family size bag without stopping. So yeah, they make my resolve weak and lead to premature death.
And you eat the bag without stopping because you really like them.. So clearly she understood exactly what you meant.
I mean, they do. They’re not exactly there for the nutrition.
She was hitting on you, kryptonite makes you weak in the knees and vulnerable for her to attack.
You now are locked in a wicked battle of the wits with your own personal nemesis.
Damnit. I always wanted a nemesis and this Lemmite just casually picks one up with a throwaway comment.
That... That sounds exactly like something my arch nemesis would say! Someday you shall face the wrath of... The Procrastinator!! Mwoooohahahaha!
I see. A nemesis who waits to strike from the shadowy future.
I won't stand for it! I'll stop you before you even start, Procrastinator!

But what is Achille's Achille's heel?
Mummy issues
Same as Odysseus
His brotherly love for Patrocles, obv.
Kryptonite.
It was posted to Peter Explains The Joke and the poster was banned for it.

Superman has never died from Kryptonite but he has died from getting punched in the face by a big dude with boney hands.
Not quite true. In an old Legion comic, Lobo grips a shard of Kryptonite he steals from Lex Luther and punches straight through Superman's chest and heart, killing Supes. You don't mess with the Main Man!

The answer is Magic!
I know the person was either actually dumb, or trolling, but reddit really bams people for nothing. That's why I'm here not there.
This one seems to be bammed for a valid reason though.
Because Reddit has no sense of humor, and should the case be this person actually doesn't know reddit chooses to be dicks instead of helpful? Nah. I reported Reddit for the pedophilia pictures found on there daily and left anyway. The mods pretend to be gods, the site is run by a CEO who is a pedo, and it is just a trash site. Even honest questions get you banned. Asking why you got banned gets you site wide banned. I can keep going but the bottom line is this was not a valid ban reason.
I think the banning was hilarious and a sign of humour
And also not banned by reddit but a mod of the specific subreddit.
Also is it a legit ban or just a comment? I haven't seen this version of the reddit UI before
Bad writers.
Turns out it's actually just sodomy. Sodomy is Superman's kryptonite.
Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her Fallopian tubes could handle his sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry his child?
The second she gets a suntan the kid'll kick right through her stomach. The only person with a uterus strong enough to carry his child is wonder woman. That or he wears a kryptonite condom, which could kill him..
Ugh. I'm not even supposed to be here today.
The only person with a uterus strong enough to carry his child is wonder woman.
… well, there’s his cousin for one…
