It has long been wondered who the superior superhero universe is. “Marvel or DC?” has now become a staple question when trying to find out someone else’s preferences to compare it to your own choice in a superhero universe. But maybe the better question is, which universe makes the least amount of sense?
While we may all love watching the Avengers take down the latest villain, if you prefer Marvel, or watching the Justice League finally form and save the world, if your choice is DC, there are still plenty of things about the movies, tv shows, and even the comics that do not make a whole lot of sense.
Regardless, we can’t help but be entertained by our favorite heroes each time they grace us on screen or within the pages of the latest comic book.
Luckily for us, though, we can enjoy the best of both worlds. Which means while we can just enjoy the characters for what and who they are, we can also laugh at fan-made logic comics, such as the ones that will be in this article, that point out how little they make sense.
If you sit back and really look at some of the insane storylines that have graced both Marvel and DC over the years, you’ll realize that these logic comics had plenty of material to work with, as you are about to see for yourself.
So here are the 40 Marvel And DC Character Comics That Show They Make No Sense.
40 Let It Go
Batman has what we know as the Bat Cave for not only unwinding after a long day of crime-fighting but also preparing for a long day of crime-fighting. But Superman also has a certain place just for things like that, and it is called The Fortress of Solitude.
The Fortress of Solitude is a fortress made completely out of ice that is supposed to mimic the landscape and building blocks of Krypton. Here, it houses Krypton’s history and the history of his family as well, House of El. He even has a zoo full of endangered alien creatures and has a computer system to study any alien threats, as well as knowledge, that humanity doesn’t have yet.
The Fortress is a way for him to connect to the planet he is from but never knew.
So of course, Batman has to take this serious moment of Superman showing him his sacred fortress and poke fun instead at Superman for his choice in location and the Fortress itself. It’s a sly dig, but a dig nonetheless, when he says, “Sure thing, Elsa.”
This is referencing Elsa, Queen of Arendelle, and Disney Princess from the Frozen series. Soon enough, Batman will start singing “Let It Go” to him, just for the heck of it.
39 Can You Hear Me Now?
I must admit, I have always wondered how in the world people are supposed to understand superheroes when they have an entire mask covering their face? Especially when there is no cut-out for the mouth so we can hear more clearly, much like this comic indicates.
Spider-Man is not the only hero, though, to make this mistake when constructing his superhero ensemble.
Deadpool has done the same thing in the early stages of making his get-up and even has asked the camera during the first Deadpool film if his words are being muffled by the mask.
The answer was yes, they were, but he made a slight alteration to the mask apparently so we can hear him more clearly. It still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, though, not only that they would think anyone would be able to hear them through a thick mask, but also how in the world they were able to breathe through it as well?
Of course, this is probably just another superhero logic question that we will never know the actual answer to. But until we do get an answer, we will just be left to wonder how they breathe…and what it is they just said.
38 Superman’s Ultimate Weakness
We may not think of superheroes as the type to play practical jokes on each other, but make no mistake, they definitely would and do. Case in point, this comic.
It appears that Green Lantern is using his own abilities to play a prank on Superman. Superman is just minding his own business when Green Lantern gets his attention to show him some kryptonite he found…or so Superman thinks.
In reality, Green Lantern is just using his powers that are based on glowing green objects. But Superman is so hyper-focused on the mere possibility of being poisoned by the kryptonite, that the logical part of his brain completely turns off and doesn’t even entertain the idea that Green Lantern is just messing with him.
At least, he doesn’t realize it at first. Once he does, he connects the dots and even guesses that Batman is the one to put Green Lantern up to it. He confirms that he was the one behind it, all the while chuckling at Superman’s reaction to it.
If only a hilarious moment like that could make it into DC Comics for the entire world to see…that would truly be something. Until then, we’ll always have this logic comic.
37 Superhero Logic
This right here is a prime example of superhero movie logic…that doesn’t actually make sense. In the DC Extended Universe, and the comics as well, it is widely known that the superheroes don’t exactly have the best disguises. Regardless of them all hardly hiding their identities properly, it seems that no one can figure it out that they are your average joe during the day, but come night time, well, they are something else altogether. Even though their faces are on full display every time they’re fighting their foes.
Yet, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, things play out quite differently for the heroes. They are actually able to do their crimefighting, as well as alien-fighting, in full gear that completely hides their faces, keeping their identities safe from the public’s knowledge - if they want them to be.
But it appears that pretty much none of them care that their personal lives and professional superhero lives are intertwining. They don’t hide the fact that they are superheroes from anyone in their personal lives or even fans of theirs. Anyone who knows Iron Man knows its Tony Stark that is behind that suit, for instance.
This just goes to show you two things. One, the logic here is hard to find in both cases. And two, the MCU and DCEU could not be more different from each other.
36 Dance-Off Time
Peter Quill, or Star-Lord, is one of the most hilarious superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s always prepared with a witty one-liner, and also will do anything to express his love of music.
That includes saving the universe with the power of dance.
See, in Guardians of the Galaxy, when he and the other Guardians were up against Ronan The Accuser, Peter used his dancing skills as a means of distracting Ronan from what was really happening. He began singing one of his favorite songs and dancing while Rocket Raccoon began to fix the cannon so that they could destroy the hammer. They then grabbed the orb and were able to withstand its power and eventually were even able to blast Ronan with the stone’s energy, effectively ending him.
So it would have been pretty amazing, not to mention hilarious, to see Peter doing the exact same thing when they were up against Thanos in Infinity War. Of course, different events went down, including (spoiler alert) Gamora’s demise. But this definitely would have been a more light-hearted version and would probably have cut the tension down just a bit.
If only this had actually happened in Infinity War…
35 Not The Best Idea
Every superhero in the Marvel Universe is known to have amazing powers, incredible combat skills, and are typically, phenomenally smart. But while that may be the case for our favorite heroes, there is one difference between one of the core members of The Avengers and everyone else.
Black Widow, or Natasha Romanoff, if you prefer, is one of the most skilled fighters on the team. And even though she could take on many foes at once and defeat all of them just by herself, that does not mean she has never been hurt in combat. Yet, she is literally the only one who is ever seen to not be wearing a single piece of armor or any type of protective gear when engaged in a battle.
This, of course, goes along with the problems in any superhero film that features a female superhero: the female superhero must always have a certain (attractive) look about her, regardless of practicalness or safety measures.
The creator of this logic comic decided to subtly call out that problem in the MCU with this hilarious take on the Avengers going into battle. Natasha looks around as she is only dressed in her tight-fitting costume, while all of the other (male) superheroes are decked out in heavy duty armor or other protective gear.
It may not be fair for her, but at least there is some humor we can take from it.
34 Batman’s Philosophy
Batman has a certain philosophy he prefers to live by: never take a life. Because of this rule, he does everything in his power to not endanger anyone, whether they are a villain or not. That doesn’t mean he won’t get into a physical altercation with any villain he comes up against, but he definitely steers clear from ending their life. Which may be why villains such as The Joker just keep on coming back for him, but I digress.
There are a few different reasons that he decides to live his life as a vigilante in such a way, but mainly because he doesn’t want to become the thing he hates - a criminal with no regard for the welfare of others.
While all of that makes sense, seeing as he became a vigilante in the first place after the demise of his parents at the hands of a criminal, it does not make any sense why he refuses to use guns in a fight against one of his foes, yet his motorcycle has machine guns literally built into the mechanism of them.
Machine guns can take a life just as easily, if not more so, than just a “regular” gun. So he might want to brush up on his old philosophy, wouldn’t you say?
33 Where In The World Is Clark Kent?
One of the most hysterical disguises to ever be seen in any superhero universe has to be that of Superman’s. His real name is Clark Kent, of course, and he works at the Daily Planet by day. But when a dire problem arises, he is the first on the scene, in his full Superman get-up. It does not take long at all for him to change into his Superman gear, and persona, due to the fact all he has to accomplish is taking off his glasses and poof! It’s as if Clark Kent just disappeared and Superman entered the building.
Okay, maybe there is a bit more to it than that. But literally, any time we have seen him change from Clark to Superman in a blink of an eye in the comics, it happens so fast that the people around him will gasp and wonder how Superman got there so quickly. Then, they’ll wonder where on Earth Clark went to.
It is so comical seeing as he looks exactly like Superman, other than the fact Superman doesn’t wear glasses.
So how no one was able to put two and two together at any point is downright hilarious.
But at least he didn’t have to do much in terms of finding a proper disguise. The people around him seem positively oblivious regardless.
32 An Ingenious Plan
When Hela, Thor’s biological sister, began to wreak havoc all across Asgard and its people, Thor had to take matters into his own hands, with the help of Loki, Valkyrie, and The Hulk.
The whole premise of Thor: Ragnarok, you see, is that Ragnarok must occur, causing the end of the Asgardian Empire, and it is prophesied that Surtur would be the cause of the destruction, but that it simply must happen.
Thor does not truly realize why until the end of the movie when he finally sees that even he cannot fight off Hela and her powers, and she will end up taking over Asgard and destroy everything they have built. After a vision from his father, Odin, where Odin tells him, “Asgard is not a place, it is a people.”, he and Loki work together to release Surtur so they can defeat Hela and her army, while they and the rest of the Asgardians leave on a ship.
In other words, Hela can’t take over Asgard and become more powerful if there is no Asgard in the first place. This was the way Thor saw things, at least. And I suppose he was right since he and the Asgardians could build their Asgardian Empire anywhere they wish. Perhaps Norway, even.
31 The Casual Marvel Fan
It is clear to see that while comic books and superhero movies used to be looked at as something only “geeks” enjoy, they are now very mainstream and pretty much everyone loves flocking to the theater to see the latest superhero film. And when it comes to Marvel movies, in particular, it is common knowledge that once the movie is “over”….it actually isn’t.
Every single Marvel movie that has come out over the last decade has had at least one post-credits scene, if not more. These scenes usually preview what is to come in the sequel, or may even show us a glimpse of the newest Marvel superhero movie to come out next. Either way, if you are a dedicated Marvel fan, you realize that these scenes are pertinent information that is directly related to the movie you just watched, and will only get you more excited for the next film to come out.
Yet, there are still people who are just “casual Marvel fans” who aren’t nearly as dedicated to the films but merely go to watch it to have something to do on the weekend. These fans typically end up leaving as soon as the credits start to roll, and then they never see the important scenes that get all of us fanboys and fangirls even more excited for the subsequent films.
What a shame, really.
30 Unimpressed Spider-Man
It is always difficult to impress your friends when you feel like they are better than you in some way or another. Whatever the reason is, you feel like they are excelling in life while you are falling behind. The same goes for superheroes, apparently. At least, according to this next logic comic.
We see here that Spider-Man and Ant-Man are talking about their “powers” or skills. But when you compare Spider-Man’s many abilities to Ant-Man’s minimal powers, it’s hard to be that impressed by him.
Spider-Man has super-human strength and speed, is able to crawl up walls, has a regenerative healing factor, and has super-human reflexes. While Ant-Man is able to shrink down in size due to a high-tech suit…and can control ants.
While both heroes are beloved among Marvel fans everywhere, there is no denying here who the superior hero is in this instance.
That’s not to say that Ant-Man doesn’t have other abilities, such as being a skilled thief as well as being very intelligent, with his master’s degree in electrical engineering.
But unfortunately, those skills only help him so much in terms of being a superhero. Regardless, we still love you, Ant-Man. So don’t you fret.
29 Riddle Me This
It is very apparent that Batman, or Bruce Wayne, is very traumatized by the loss of his parents…as well as how their lives ended in the first place. He was present when the man that mugged them ended their lives in an alley, and because of that traumatic moment in his life, he became Batman.
His main goal in life was to rid Gotham city of all of the crime happening there, so no one else would have to go through what he and his parents endured.
And while that is a tragic story, we are glad Batman took a tragedy and turned it into a noble goal.
But I will be the first to admit that seeing this logic comic made me laugh out loud. That may make me a bad person, but the wit of this comic was just too much.
We see that The Riddler is engaged in conversation with Batman and is, of course, giving him another riddle to solve. This one is, “What travels down an alley and has holes in it?”
Batman assumes the worst and figures he’s talking about his parents, who were ended in an alley due to gunshot wounds.
Yikes.
The Riddler clarifies he was talking about a bowling ball and even apologizes. And the pure hilarious of the miscommunication is just too funny.
Poor Batman and his traumatic past.
28 Not A Care In The World
There are typically two types of superheroes in the (fictional) world they live in: the ones who are okay with ending the lives of others and those are decidedly not. And here we see examples in two of the most famous DC superheroes on those very opposite ends of the spectrum.
In the first Superman film, Man Of Steel, the main villain he is up against is General Zod, from Superman’s home planet of Krypton, who has plans to annihilate Earth as we know it. Knowing that piece of information, you’d think Superman would be a little more lenient on his no-eliminating rule, but he seems to be struggling with what to do at the climax of the film when he’s in a heated battle with Zod.
Eventually, he does snap his neck but is broken emotionally because of it.
Both sides are understandable, but Wonder Woman’s approach is probably the most practical way to go when dealing with an evil villain who only wants to destroy everything in sight.
27 Fury’s Antics
How many times over the years, especially since superhero films have taken on a life of their own and consistently become box office hits, have we seen one of the main characters, who is female, wearing a skimpy “superhero outfit” to fight whoever she is up against that week? And we are supposed to look at the outfit, nod, and say, “that is exactly what I would wear if I were in an intense fight scene.”
But in reality, wearing a skin-tight ensemble that showed off major cleavage would completely hamper any behind-kicking you were trying to accomplish at that moment.
Yet, nearly every superhero film that features a female hero has her in unrealistic clothing.
This logic comic takes on that trope and pokes fun at the ridiculousness of the entire situation. We see that Black Widow is gearing up for the next big fight…when her zipper on her top gets stuck. This results in her having a generous amount of cleavage.
But when she remarks to Nick Fury that her zipper is stuck, he replies with, “We don’t have time to fix it…so…” while holding glue behind his back, clearly indicating he is the one to have caused the issue in the first place.
If we can’t fix the problem, we might as well get a good laugh at it, right?
26 Playboy Billionaire Problems
There is always a multitude of ways to achieve a goal, but usually, there are the smarter ways to go about it…and then the not so smart ways. This is proven in one meme regarding two very popular superheroes in the DC universe.
Oliver Queen, a.k.a. The Green Arrow, is a former billionaire playboy who decided to turn to a life of vigilantism after a horrific turn of events changed the man he once was. Oh and he’s pretty adept at using a bow and arrow, too. Whenever we have seen the Arrowverse version of Green Arrow on the CW, we have witnessed him disguising his voice by using a voice changer. Which is the intelligent thing to do, clearly.
But then, on the other end of the spectrum, we have yet another billionaire playboy by the name of Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman. He has also become a vigilante in his city of Gotham after losing his parents in a tragic crime. Bonus: he has quite the impressive artillery to go along with his new Batman persona.
You would think with all of the money he has at his disposal that he would use a voice changer when speaking to those who are unaware of his true identity, much like Oliver did. Instead, he decides to simply change the tenor of his voice himself and basically growls all of the words he speaks to whomever he is conversing with.
It is quite distracting, to say the least.
25 Identity Crisis
Loki, the God of Mischief, is the adopted son of Odin and has lived in Asgard since he was an infant. As we all know, since we first met him in Thor, he has planned on taking over Asgard and wanted to have all of the power to himself. That meant he wanted Thor and anyone else who could be in his way out of the picture. But after many failed attempts, we meet his sort-of-sister, Hela, in Thor: Ragnarok.
Hela is Thor’s biological sister who is the Goddess of Demise. She also has plans to take over Asgard and create an Asgardian Empire. Oh and she happens to look like Loki’s twin, regardless of the fact that they have no blood relation.
So there is no denying the many similarities between Hela and Loki.
Both are hungry for power and will do whatever it takes to get it. And both have long, dark hair, pale skin, and like to wear a whole lot of green.
Because of all of this, it seems as if everything that made Loki who he was, was suddenly given to Hela in Ragnarok. In turn, it makes perfect sense that Loki would be questioning his own identity and role in life with Hela coming in to steal his thunder - no pun intended.
24 Out Of Work
The main villain Batman is always up against is none other than The Joker. They have been mortal enemies for decades upon decades, and The Joker is definitely the main source of most of the problems going on in Gotham city.
So if Superman were to end the life of The Joker, much like he is in this logic comic, I think it is safe to say that Batman would have a lot less crime to deal with in Gotham, and it would make him out of a job, and eternally bored.
It is beyond comical when you think about it that Batman is so immersed in his rivalry of sorts with The Joker that if The Joker’s life were to end for good, he would have literally nothing to do from that point on.
Of course, that is probably greatly exaggerated, but it still has a ring of truth to it. In almost every dire situation he has found himself in, in the comics, as well as many of the Batman films, The Joker has played a part in it.
So while you’d think he would be happy to have The Joker permanently out of his life, in actuality he would be not only out of work but seriously bored from there on out.
23 Thanos’ Fatal Flaw
There is not much that could be the downfall of Thanos, as we saw plainly in Avengers: Infinity War. He is a Titan warlord who has the main goal of causing half of the universe’s population to go extinct, in order to save resources for the other half. This is a seriously warped plan that will cause the ultimate demise of the innocent.
So when we see Thanos up against Captain America in Infinity War, we weren’t exactly sure how Steve Rogers would fair when in battle with Thanos. Of course, Cap is inhumanly strong and could maybe hold him off for a bit, but not for long.
In this logic comic, though, we see a much more humorous end to Infinity War that would probably have been much preferred to the heart-breaking ending we got instead.
In this version of the movie, Cap is holding off Thanos and indicates that he could do this all day. Thanos feels as if it must be some sort of joke, clearly, because he wonders how exactly it’s supposed to affect him.
We see how, though, when they are near a waterfall and Thanos has been holding going to the bathroom for hours on end. It is the ultimate torment, and Steve knows it.
Oh, what could have been.
22 Enemies Turned Friends
In Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, Batman has a lot of animosity towards Superman after the events that occurred in Man Of Steel. This was because, during Superman’s face-off with General Zod, a building of Bruce Wayne’s in Metropolis was seriously damaged and ended up harming someone he knew.
He then viewed Superman as a threat to the world, since he was an alien who we didn’t know much about. His goal, then, in Dawn Of Justice, was to end Superman, once and for all.
They had an intense fight scene in Dawn Of Justice where it appeared that one of them would meet their end if something didn’t stop their quarreling.
Luckily, it did stop, when Batman learned that Superman’s mom’s name was Martha.
This was significant to him since his own mother, who he lost as a boy, was also named Martha. Unfortunately, it took all of that fighting between the two and Superman uttering his mother’s name for them to finally put their arguing to a stop, and realize that Lex Luthor was the true one they needed to defeat.
It is kind of hilarious to think that one utterance of a name could end Batman’s hatred of Superman just like that, I must say.
21 Deadpool Picking Sides
Deadpool is known as the Merc with a Mouth for a good reason: he cannot stop cussing to save his life. He has a filthy mouth, but we still love him regardless.
On the other hand, we have Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America who is a lot more wholesome than Deadpool. He has admonished his Avengers teammates for using bad language in the past when it was nothing compared to the stuff that spews from Deadpool’s mouth.
So when talking about Captain America: Civil War, where Cap and Iron Man are literally pitted against each other, it’s quite hysterical to see Deadpool would side with Captain America in this case.
They would never get along, what with Deadpool’s cussing and his willingness to off anyone who does him wrong. And Captain America could not be more of the polar opposite of that.
So Tony Stark is one-hundred percent right about the fact Cap would definitely boot him out just for cussing, which we all know Deadpool is physically incapable of stopping from happening.
Maybe he will get lucky, though, and Tony will let him join his side, should the need arise. Although, I’m pretty sure Deadpool would never do anything he doesn’t want to do in the first place.
