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.
Missed opportunity by not dropping dead at the sight of them
"Oh no, aaagh, now I'm vulnerable to small arms fire!"
In hindsight it’s good superman never needed surgery as a kid.
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
Clearly written by someone who never read the Evil Overlord List.
Saying something is your weakness is common to say it's something you enjoy so much you can't help yourself.
Forbidden pleasure that you're too weak to hold back from.
Wouldn't it be you who's using the word wrong? Or do M&Ms literally make you weak/kill you?
I mean, they do. They’re not exactly there for the nutrition.
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.
She was hitting on you, kryptonite makes you weak in the knees and vulnerable for her to attack.
oh like, literally hitting?
Nah, getting him weak to make her move
You now are locked in a wicked battle of the wits with your own personal nemesis.
Damnit. I always wanted a nemesis and this Lemmite just casually picks one up with a throwaway comment.
That... That sounds exactly like something my arch nemesis would say! Someday you shall face the wrath of... The Procrastinator!! Mwoooohahahaha!
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!
The average person is actually illiterate like in a legitimately does not understand language beyond a 5th grade level kinda way
