Yeah, that's the version of Superman that could fly faster than light and travel through time and use super-ventriloquism. And whose hair would shatter metal scissors that someone used to try and cut it, rather than just not being cut. t shudder
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The last one sort of happened last night, though. the sissors broke on his hair.
Even possessed, Lana's efforts should have been at most the blades stop and let the hair slip between the blades, maybe even sideways. Break the sissors? She has nae the strength for that.

Could any amount of strength be sufficient to break rigid metal against a flexible substance that would give without breaking?
Though that does give me the entertaining mental image of Kristin Kreuk in blue contacts and hair saying "This defies all reason! And I find it annoying."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it's definitely possible to break the scissors, not by breaking the metal of either blade, but by frelling the doohickey that joins them together, and shearing that.
Lana's a superninja, isn't she? With witchy powers.
Yeah, complete bullshit.

But DX, everything shatters on Clark. Axes, rings, plastic horses. It's hilarious. Nothing ever just bounces harmlessly off him.

Kinda makes me wonder how he sits down. But it does explain the whole "still a virgin while looking this hot" bit.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My experience of abusing scissors is that the pin that joins the blades won't snap, but it might wrench loose in its joint, so that the blades aren't held tense against each other. You can still cut something with dull scissors (messily), if you've got blade tension, but two sharp blades that don't ever touch each other are basically just really awkward carving knives. The thing you're trying to cut just folds in between the blades.
Which is not nearly as dramatic and amazing as shattering.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But DX, everything shatters on Clark.
'Twas Daniel said it, not me. That said, there is one thing that doesn't, though. Revolvers. I know this because every time someone throws a gun at Supes he ducks.
