The Hidden Weakness of Superman's Invulnerable Skin: A Physics Perspective

Superman's invulnerability has always been one of his most iconic powers, making him seemingly impervious to harm. However, a recent issue of My Adventures with Superman (#3) reveals a major flaw in Superman's seemingly bulletproof skin. While bullets cannot pierce Superman's skin, they can still push him around due to the force they carry. This revelation highlights the downsides of Superman's invulnerability, such as the difficulty of performing emergency surgeries and the resilience to breakage. Agent DuBois, a villain in the story, exploits this weakness by using physics to knock Superman down with strong bullets. This clever tactic turns Superman's strength into a weakness, demonstrating that even the most powerful characters have vulnerabilities.
