To be perfectly fair, Stan Lee's creations at least tried to explain things like flight. The reasoning behind Thor's flight may be wonky, but there is one, and the same goes for Iron Man, Human Torch and Angel. Wonder Woman and Superman have no explained m

That’s not ENTIRELY accurate  (I don’t remember the Torch’s explanation for propulsion, maybe I missed it, I’m not an FF expert), but Wonder Woman was able to ride wind currents, it was mentioned repeatedly.


And Thor’s propulsion isn’t science, it’s magic. And I have no objection to the Marvel stuff, they made that stuff sound fun and exciting. But there wasn’t much in the way of science about it, is all.


Marvel did a lot, a LOT of stuff better than DC. But DC did science better, pretty much always has.
