    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.

            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

      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.

        Damnit. I always wanted a nemesis and this Lemmite just casually picks one up with a throwaway comment.

            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!
