Typical Comic Book Scientific Method

In Superman #709, the Flash has become a menace. How?


“Hey, this strange thing in the bottom of a crater looks like a hat. I think I’ll put it on!”

Because, as always in comic books, what is the worst that can happen?

    “I guess you can blame the scientist in me.” No, Flash, I blame the fashionista in you.

    Yes all scientist jump head over heels in strange things they find and never ever subject it to safe laboratory conditions when examing it.

    “Hey guys, I think this might be a deadly air born virus in this bottle I just found on this alien space craft. Who wants to take a sniff? John, how about you? You’re wife is eight months pregnant isn’t she?”

    Now I’m trying to imagine how The Andromeda Strain would play in the DCU.

    Don’t be so hard on the poor fellow, after all, how was he supposed to know? What scientist would ever suspect of an object the size of a helmet that remains intact after entering the atmosphere and leaving a 20ft. wide impact crater? I mean, a thing like that it’s surely harmless, right?

    So what is Flash saying? That scientists are particularly irresponsible, or that a layperson would have never thought of putting a hat-like object on his head?

    Honestly, Typo. What’s the worst that could happen? Death. And I’ve taken longer to get over the flu.

    I don’t blame the scientist in you, Barry.  I blame the idiot in you.  Because it sure as hell isn’t being a scientist that makes you do dumb stuff.

    I know that being a DCU superhero you’re kind of contractually obliged to be somewhat dim and completely lacking in common sense, but don’t go painting science with that same brush.
