Most superheroes would probably develop CTE from all the hits to the head they would get over the years. amirite?

That's my favorite thing about the Hawkeye TV show. They actually show the effects of being beaten up and caught in explosions.

Yeah I like that it's not one big thing that caused his hearing loss but just a bunch of small things over time

Star trek magic is pretty magical even for star trek. What about his first suit he made in captivity. He launched into the air and hit the ground from 100 feet up. Doubt he could have engineered star trek magic on that one

Kyle Hill has an episode about that where he theorizes that Iron Man's helmet works like a Woodpecker's tongue: IE always cushioning the brain against movement.

The Dark Knight Rises has a doctor mention Bruce Wayne's concussion history but then just like his knee (I assume Bane took the brace off before throwing him in the prison) and other maladies it's forgotten the rest of the movie

They honestly weren't really; superheroes date back to mythology, which was not intended for children (at least for the most part)

I somehow missed "the hits to" when I read this the first time and was very confused!

Hey Daydreamer631, maybe superheroes would need headgear that screams, Hello, brains! like a protective fashion statement!

Why would they be taking hits to the head

by carmelwilderman 19 hours ago

Yeah, you're totally right—superheroes get hit in the head all the time. It's pretty much a staple in comics, movies, and shows. But here's the thing: if we're talking about real humans, getting knocked around like that would lead to some serious brain damage over time. So, for superheroes to survive all those hits without ending up with CTE or other issues, they must have some kind of super healing or protection. It's a neat way to keep the story going without worrying about realistic consequences. Makes sense!

Superheroes were intended for children. Don't overthink these things.
