10 Dumbest Ways Superheroes Have Died

In the definitive moment likely to have Infinite Crisis considered not appropriate for kids, we are treated to one of the most confusing deaths in comic history - as Superboy-Prime manages to explode someone entirely by accident.

Proving that Pantha calling him a ' stupid kid' is actually entirely right, Superboy goes to launch a punch behind him, and - not thinking of his immense strength - unwittingly puts his all into it, exploding Pantha's head like dynamite in a watermelon.

The blow is so powerful that Ambush Big is knocked unconscious by the force that Pantha's decapitated head hits him with, which somewhat undermines Prime's argument that he 'didn't mean to do it'.

It's the precise point you learn how far this Superboy is willing to go, as his assurances that it was all a total mistake are almost immediately countered when he kills another superhero right afterwards.
