Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Being able to just declare math formulas to act on the physical world is an intriguing super power.

How would you even world build that in? Become a prominent mathematician and figure out all the uses?

X is the objects mass and Y is how fast it is going, now there is a black hole next to your face.

Charles Stross The Laundry Files - It's a good read

Does it pick up? It feels like a slog so far. I don't even remember how far I got before I had to drop it. I love the premise though.

Kind of Dr Who meets James bond meets BOFH in a way, there's a lot of build-up with tons of details that come together by the ending.

He's a mathemagician

Pretty sure there's a Final Fantasy Tactics class that is exactly that

If your level is divisible by four then you die instantly and if it's a prime number you're on my team now

Katalepsis does exactly this for millions of words, and it’s (unfortunately) one of the best books I’ve read in my life.

Paradox from Ben 10 does that which on itself a reference to Dr.who. If i remember correctly, its not that he got powers from being sucked into the time portal but that his mind expanded allowing him to travel among other stuff.

from the wiki: Paradox was displaced outside of time, where he lost the ability to age and was unable to sleep or eat; just exist. He went insane for a while, but then got bored and regained his sanity. Gaining complete understanding of the space-time continuum, Paradox forgot his original name in the process
