10 Utterly Ridiculous Comic Book Weaknesses

Very few comic book characters are completely invulnerable. You'll often hear people saying things like "Superman can't be beaten by anything other than Kryptonite" - but that's utter nonsense. The Man of Steel is vulnerable to magic, telepathy and can be defeated - or even outright killed - by a good old-fashioned beat-down if the character dishing it out is strong enough.

The thing is, they're all acceptable weaknesses and vulnerabilities - brute force, mind attacks, magical powers and a very specific form of radiation make sense as things that could harm you - but not all weaknesses in comics are quite so tenable. Some characters - many of whom are incredibly powerful and appear as though it would take something wielding magnificent power to defeat them - can be beaten by the simplest, stupidest and most mundane of objects, materials and concepts.
