#1 stupid weapon: YoYo.

Yo-yos were originally weapons, and from what I've heard, were quite deadly.

Shazam! I'm back! Anyways...

Dumb weapons?

Samurai sword. Sure, it's functional, sure it takes skill to make and use. But DAMN!! I see it everywhere anymore. When I go to my neighbors house three miles down, and I find entire sets of them in their living room, visiting room, and trophy room? That's too damn many for one French country. That could almost be enough power to make us submit. It's a weapons stockpile I say!

Comic wise?

Billy clubs.

That would be correct. Yo-yo's from back in the day were lightning fast, and could crack more than one skull in a single blow.

That little "ghost" thingie that the Green Goblin used was down right silly!

Didn't we just have this thread like a month or two a go?

i dont see my name in there or nothing.

 

[symbioticspaz]

I'm gonna have to agree with pretty much everyone else..............you make the most useless threads. Is the next one gonna be a stupid weapons vs thread?

 

[KevanG]

Those shorts are essential! Without those purple shorts, Hulk would be like Batman without his repelents and antidotes!

Actually Hulk without pants is... well pretty damn scary... Imagine ultimate Hulk with no pants 0.o' *shudder*

Stupid weapon: Lame distracting one-liners

 

[Sloth7d]

The wrecker uses a crobar. Thats pretty lame.
And FYI- Gambit uses his bo staff more than his cards actually.

 

[Diamondhead]

Batman has the most stupidest weapons, they always resable a bat and always work perfect, and he carries like 5,00 different kinds of weapons in his belt, including every kind of repelent spray and an antidote to everything too, thats just dumb or stupid, to keep in the theme of the thread.

and superman's cape, correct me if im wrong like i have to ask for that, but what purpose is there for supermans cape?

perhaps it glows in the dark so people can see him arriving on the scene
or plane can avoid to collide with him
because the sky is blue like most part of his costume
he'd be invisible when he fly up in the sky
no man !
as explain in kill bill 2
it's the the drapsheet he was wraped in when he was a baby
or perhaps it's just a fashion trend that people use to wear on krypton.

Well his cape is not a weapon but it is super strong

Stupid weapons? Foot long claws that spring out of your forearms. When your height isn't enough for you to have over 12 inch long forearms (it HAS to be over 12" to be able to house them) and consequently make you look disproportionate or like some kind of simian.

Mandarin's rings may be awe inspiring in the comics, but in the real world they would make you a laughing stock.

From Marvel -

"Wolverine’s skeleton includes six retractable one-foot long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor. Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Wolverine to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials."

Artists draw them wrong from time to time, but their supposed to be slightly curved claws so while a foot, it's a slightly curved foot, sometimes artists just make them look far larger than their supposed to. Anyway that paragraph explains it somewhat, not to count he's short but not a midget his forearm should still be somewhat close to normal. From what I've read height has little to do with forearm length, if I'm right, forearms have more to do with foot size as a counterbalance, i.e. your foot is the exact same length as from your wrist to your elbow, so bigger the foot bigger that space. If Wolverine's got a size 13 shoe (and he's been drawn with big feet at times), then he'd have enough space to have straight foot long claws with room to spare -

Find out Wolverine's foot size and we'll find out his forearm length .

Not to count Wolverine's more like a feral human and not at human proportions. Like his teeth and canines in particular are longer than a humans, and a lot of artists over the years have drawn his forearm longer than a normal humans. Not even counting a feral Wolverine who's usually shown to have massively long forearms -

In other words, he's a comic character with animal-esque features so who's to say because he's 5'3 that he's got tiny forearms . Sry, not arguing, just saying that it's been explained how he fits them in his arm, and explained better than what I quoted, just too tired to look it up. I know what you mean tho, at his height you'd expect smaller proportions, but they actually would fit as Wolverine's at slightly different proportions than a regular human. Not to count I know a 5'4 guy who has size 13 feet, friend of my friend, so that would mean he'd be able to house Wolverine's claws at only an inch taller than him.

As for stupid weapons -

I'm 6'3" and from where my wrist starts to where the forearm meets the bicep it's 12" to 13" (with the arm bent). As it is, most of the time I can't buy long sleeved shirts from the rack because my arms are too long. It could have something to do with shoulder width, but the seam sometimes falls below where the shoulder ends. I know it's a comic, I know they've made up explanations, I know you have a predilection for the character. For all the rationalizations they have on why the character doesn't look like a gorilla, I still find it stupid. He'd have to have, at the least, 14" forearms to house the blades without it interfering with the joints. I don't think the claws are stupid, it's their length that's stupid.

Has it ever been explained where they are anchored so that no one with superstrength, magnetic powers or the act of climbing doesn't just rip them out of his arms muscle and all? I know he'd be able to re-grow bone ones, but it just occured to me that he could have lost the claws a long time ago if someone thought of this.

I'm 5'9" and my forearms are about 9" along the outside with the arm bent and the forearm bone is probably at least an inch shorter so Wolvie cannot possibly have foot long claws in his forearms. They could not possibly fit. His claws would be twice as long as his forearms.

Now that last part I do agree on lol, if it is just connected by muscle how does it hold on? Oh well lol, suspension of belief I guess . Wasn't trying to defend the claws as much as give an reason as to why they say it is, and why he could possibly fit it in there. I give tho lol, let's just say it does heh.

oh my bad. t: well atleast theres not 2 on the list. look at the last threads on the main page.

Well his cape is not a weapon but it is super strong

but isn't he super strong anyway, so what does it matter that his cape is strong, and how did they make his super suit, if it can not be damaged?

 

[Valorman]

i thought the cape was the only part that remained destructible, being the furthest from supermans aura...

unless your using the "super-cloth under yellow sun" explination?

dude, I started laughing t: , when i read your post, I'm 5'10" and my forearms are 14 inches and could house 12 inch claws, and yes i realize that wolvie is 5'3", but we are all different. I have to ask you a question, do your hands even reach your pockets on your pants, because they cant possiably if you have 9 inch forarms. Im an inch taller and if I had 9 inch forarms my finger tips would just meet my pockets, but I assume we all have different torso size too.

[FONT=&quot]I always assumed the cape was symbolic and you have to admit it is aesthetically pleasing. Superman doesn’t need to wear clothes really as he can move faster than anything can track him that would bust him for running around nude.[/FONT]

I'm not including the elbow or wrist joints. One of my friends from long ago had very long arms too. He used to be able to reach his knee while standing up straight.
