If that's the case, and I think there's a pretty good argument that it is, then I'd have to say that I'd have to go with Superman.

Superman definitely has it going on in the invincibility area (save for the Kryptonite), but he could stand a bit of a make-over to LOOK tougher. Blue tights?? Who thought that this was a good look? What kind of criminal would be threatened by a guy sporting this ensemb'?

> Here's another question about Superman that I heard somewhere. Why would he just stand there and let bullets bounce off him, but duck when a bad guy threw an empty gun at him? And for that matter, why would the bad guy even throw the gun at him if the bullets had no effect?

That's a cliche that needs to go away, and fast. "Oh, gee....I've just emptied my gun at this superhero/cop/detective/witty sidekick, but to no avail...Hmmmm, I should now throw my gun at them in a vain attempt to actually hit them, knock them down, and I shall triumph and flee to my underground lair." Shhyyaaaww. As if!
