I have a vague memory of that Flash TV series way back in 1990 or so, where Barry Allen has to eat like a dozen pizzas after using his super speed. It was a funny nod to the implausibility of superhero powers. How many burgers would Superman need to eat to maintain his metabolism?
He was famously solar powered, so, zero?
Duh. yes my bad :)
Nah it’s still a good question, does he actually need food or does the sun only power his powers.
Depends on the era and whose writing him that day.
He still would have to expand to a large enough surface to make the whole solar thing viable (and to blend in better in the US).
now that’s a mental image.
I’m antifascist and want to shove burgers in my mouth at an inhuman speed, so I mean, yea

“Infinite growth needs infinite feed”
“With big power comes big calorie consumption”
It’s missing something… oh right, he’s not wearing his klan hat?
Is Flash making the burger?
Congratulations on your onomatopoeia. ;)
Could Joey Chestnut eat hamburgers like that?
Lol anyone got context for the image or is it ai?
It’s the cover of Action Comics #454. The Silver Age was full of stupid plots like this.
Thank you! Now for some reason finding it funny and asking about it gets me downvotes, go figure.
