    There was an ancient captain marvel comic where a scientist comes up with a formula that makes newspaper bulletproof. A crook grabs it, sews a “suit” from newspaper, then dunks it in the formula. Robs banks and so on. Stuff is so rigid that Captain Marvel practically cold-conks himself when he tries to hit the crook. Like all such things, it had ot have an achilles heel: after some hours the chemical burst into flame.

    Didn’t Ma Kent go through this kind of cross-examination when she sewed Superman’s costume?

    Ginispics: As Alec Guiness’ character explained in The Man in the White Suit, “The needle will pass between the threads in the weave, just like normal.”
