Spoilers Supergirl - Season 1

[Greg Cox]

Kryptonians according to Byrne:

In his run on Superman, John Byrne established that Clark burns 100% of everything he eats for energy.

Complete metabolizing means no waste.

No waste means no pee or poop.

No pee or poop means this conversation is less than pointless.

Hmm. During his FF run, Byrne had Reed invent a waste-free super-food to explain why the FF never needed to poop during, say, extended jaunts through the Negative Zone.

Does Byrne dislike the idea of superheroes pooping, or did he just not want to add toilet facilities to the Fantasti-Car?

I gots no idea. I'm just tellin' what I read.

But it is Byrne, so it's probably a little of both. Somebody probably asked him about Thing taking a leak at a sigining and he went apeshit. "They never go to the bathroom! They never will go to the bathroom! There! How do you like that?!! Huh!?"

Wow, I can't believe this was actually addressed in story.
This thread is almost making me want a book that addresses how different superheroes take care of their poop.

The title of that book should be:
"Does the Flash have the runs?"

Hah!

I remember the Flash almost peed himself in JLA/Avengers because he didn't want to go to the john in the Watchtower because the Watcher was watching the Watchtower.

Anyone know why many of these Berlanti superhero shows have these crazy schedule?

Supergirl had 1 week in January, then went to repeats, then came back for a bit, now not even a repeat (Big Bang according to the guide I saw)...when is the next new episode???

 

[Christopher]

^See my reply in the Flash thread.

 

[dahj]

when is the next new episode???

Monday (the 14th)

Doesn't really tell us anything new, but it's at least official now that Barry is crossing over from an alternate universe:

Damn! I clicked on the link without seeing "spoilers" in it. Now I know something about someone.

Anyway, I wonder why they have the Flash and Supergirl from alternate universes? Why not the same?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Shhhh.

Wow, I can't believe this was actually addressed in story.

If it was the storyline I'm thinking of with their multi-issue exploration of the Zone, then he had to come up with an explanation, because they were cramped into this teeny tiny capsule...it was literally four seats facing a central console.

That was it. It closed on them like an umbrella. Reed made it that way because it was the only transport that would fit through the Negative Zone access. When he showed it to the others Johnny asked "What if we have to go to the bathroom?" and that's when Reed delivered the line about no waste food.

Then two issues into the trip they ate real food aboard an alien colony ship. No word on what they did for a bathroom then...

Most likely left some positive matter in the anti-matter universe....

Between unstable molecules and no waste food why is it that the FF have gone bankrupt multiple times?

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Found this SNL video funny in retrospect, wonder if the creators watched this?

Here's the problem with Clark and Kara metabolizing %100 of the food they eat...

Do they need it?

What happens if they don't eat?

if they metabolize the bad stuff to do specific necessary stuff, does that mean that their body will break down if they are not constantly eating bad food, as well as healthy food.... Oh.

Everything they eat is shoveled into the furnace for their heat rays.

Heat Ray Vision is pooping.

I see the one week hiatus is really hitting people hard

I'm looking forward to the next new episode so maybe I can find something else I really liked because it looked fun but looks unrealistic scientifically. That and I miss Melissa Benoist on my TV every week. .

 

[M.A.C.O.]

Cool poster and I'm super excited for more Supergirl.

 

[Christopher]

Between unstable molecules and no waste food why is it that the FF have gone bankrupt multiple times?

Because Reed is bad at handling finances. And he keeps blowing their money on his wild inventions.
