If superheros were real, how would you fight them?

Even if you know a superhero's weakness that doesn't make it an 'easy' win.

Sure, one could collect a lot of kryptonite as preparation for a fight with supa.
But superman is smart, so to get him in your trap wouldn't be straight forward.

And the superhero can also use your weaknesses.
In the case of Superman versus Umbrakinesis he just needs a flashlight.

Maybe keep the Kryptonite near your body? Though, even that would barely do anything.

It would be most effective if there was a villain who had powers similar to Superman (not all of them but the basics, like Superman-scale Superstrength, Superspeed, Flight, green Laser Vision, Invulnerability), but composed of Kryptonite, and capable of manipulating kryptonite, including that which composed his form. And if the show Smallville is any implication, maybe also psychically perceive, communicate with and compel folks who've come into contact with Kryptonite.

It would have to be a pretty handy combination of powers. I would say maybe Flight (Superman level), Invulnerability, Asepsis (Poison and Disease Immunity), Perspicuity (Mental Immunity), Magic Absorption, Magic Immunity, Life Support (Self Sustenance), Power Security (Power Negation Immunity), Summoning (Dr. Stange level) and Precognitive Reflexes.

This.

And a single offensive power, and another mobility power.

Does that count against objects summoned by magic?

[Zaleramancer]

That depends.

It's like from D&D, you have objects that are summoned (A magical copy or projection is made from another object another dimension) or Called (The actual object brought).

Summoned things can be demolished by antimagic, since they're simply magical copies.

Called things are actual things, magic just moved them. Since magic isn't involved past that, they're good.



Golems can enter anti-magic fields since magic is only involved in their creation, after that they're self-sustaining..

Yeah, I mean an actual object called by magic. I figured a magical manifestation of an object would be affected, but that ability's effect on actual objects summoned by magic is a bit unclear.

[Zaleramancer]

If you used magic to move something from one place to another, it shouldn't vanish when affected by anti-magic unless it itself was magical.

Unless said thing was being kept in it's current location by magic, in which case it would snap back..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Okay, that's what I figured.
