So, if Superman or Supergirl have a cell phone stashed in their cape pouch, it won't get reception? They'll miss important text messages?
When they fly around Metropolis (and wherever Supergirl is living these days), are they destroying my TV reception? Blocking radio broadcasts? Interfering with GPS signals?!?
Story idea: On Earth-1, the Heidi Game wasn't caused by network incompetence, but because Superman was hovering in front of the broadcast tower exchanging monologues with Brainiac, and blocking the signal!! (That is why I'm not allowed to write comic books, obviously)
If my service is disrupted by a Kryptonian flying by, can I get a credit from my satellite company?
Did they get terrible wi-fi coverage in the Kent home? Does Lois constantly curse Kal-El for disrupting her Bluetooth devices?!?!?
Is it just the cape and clothing, or do invulnerable Kryptonian bodies also block radio signals? If they're still blocking reception even while in their civvies, wouldn't that be a giveaway about their secret identities?
One goofy story idea, soooo many implications...

ReplyDelete"Hah, we have super-ventriloquism! Much better than cell phones!"
"So, uh, if Jimmy or Lois calls while you're busy, how do they leave a message without voice mail?"
"Um... super... uh, wait..."

Given we've seen Clark watching television in countless stories since the 1950s, plus even worked *in* television in the Bronze Age, that'd argue against blocking radio waves?
Yes, but if Clark was wearing his uniform under his civvies, well, why would that block signals as wells as Supergirl's cape?!?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat, did Supergirl forget she had super-speed or something? She could have flown the guy to the south pole while he was talking; and he already had her cape on to protect him against the deleterious effects of super-speed flight. That amount of distance would have rendered his radio signal useless. I guess that's why I don't get to write comics.
