History BeyondTheImpossible / ComicBooks

** If the General has a headache and Sergeant Snorkel '''ORDERS''' you to fire a cannon quietly, then you really do fire it quietly.

** When training to be a cook, Cookie reportely ranked 50th out of a class of twenty-five. (At least in a Finnish translation. It's the kind of joke that could have been changed in translation.)

* ''BeetleBailey'': If the General has a headache and Sergeant Snorkel '''ORDERS''' you to fire a cannon quietly, then you really do fire it quietly.

* TheCreeper is ''CRAZIER'' than TheJoker

* As any ''Thor'' reader knows, beating '''Volstagg''' in an eating contest is BeyondTheImpossible territory yet [[ImmortalIronFist Fat Cobra]] can do it anyway.
* Italian comic ''{{Sturmtruppen}}'' and the EpicFail of its firing squad tries to execute a prisoner. They managed to miss him and hit the wall behind him while he was [[BeyondTheImpossible holding their rifles pressed directly against his]] '''[[BeyondTheImpossible chest.]]'''

* SquirrelGirl, a hero with squirrel powers and above average strength, can defeat people like DoctorDoom and {{Thanos}}. She really shouldn't be capable of that, and in fact, many of her unbelievable victories are off-screen.
* RedHulk violates the laws of Marvel Comics just to be cool. Its one of the reasons some fans consider him a VillainSue.
* ''[[{{Transformers}} Transformers: Alternity]]'' is... a hell of a thing. To start with, standard armaments include weapons (both ranged ''and melee'') which can strike any target anywhere in any universe at any point backwards or forwards in time. Standard shielding consists of erasing one's self from existence. The BigBad is essentially a PlanetEater who devours time itself. And that's not even counting [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys all the little extra bits.]]
* ''TheFlash'' - How fast can the Flash can run today? Some calculations show that the Flash can run 2.5 quintillion miles per second, or ''13 trillion times the speed of light''. In ''DC One Million'' the Flash won a footrace with himself by going fast enough to be in two places at once via time travel. So the Flash is faster than everything else in the universe including the Flash.
** In KingdomCome, he's vibrating so fast that he's in every dimension at the same time.
* [[{{Dreamkeepers}} Spring-action rifles capable of punching holes in concrete?]] Yes please.

* TheInfinityGauntlet: Thanos' battle with the heroes of Earth is one of the few times CaptainAmerica's shield has been broken, something normally impossible.

* As any ''Thor'' reader knows, beating '''Volstagg''' in an eating contest is BeyondTheImpossible territory yet Fat Cobra can do it anyway.

* The Guardians of the Comicbook/GreenLantern corps made sure that it would be physically impossible for a lantern to kill one of them. When [[spoiler: Hal Jordan kills Krona]] they are shocked and afraid.

* The Guardians of the Comicbook/GreenLantern corps made sure that it would be physically impossible for a lantern to kill one of them. When [[spoiler: Kyle kills Krona]] they are shocked and afraid.

* [[''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk' RedHulk]] violates the laws of Marvel Comics just to be cool. Its one of the reasons some fans consider him a VillainSue.

* In the {{Superman}} comic "A Monumental Menace" there is a nearly mile-high, fourheaded golem... composed of Mount Rushmore. See The entry on {{Weaponized Landmark}} entry for a picture.
* ''BlueBeetle'': How is Jaime Reyes gonna get screwed over this time? How awesome are Brenda and Paco gonna be next issue? Is that a giant naked guy? Is Paco going to use his stick? Is the Scarab going to figure out how to take down EVERYTHING?
* How many overpowered villains can SquirrelGirl defeat?
** All of them.
* The achievements of the Saint of Killers from ''{{Preacher}}'' get steadily more impressive until the end where he [[spoiler: kills God]].
* ''{{Nextwave}}'': Agents of Hate. Take a normal super team, give each one of them a triple espresso shot of [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] with a slug of GenreSavvy, [[{{Flanderized}} exaggerate their character flaws]] and set them against increasingly ridiculous enemies. Throw away any aspiration of being taken seriously, then [[{{Lampshading}} hang lampshades on everything]] fans like in comics. Then make it ''more'' ridiculous in the next volume. Then it [[MadeOfExplodium explodes!]]\\

The series reaches its high point (or "insanity nexus") with a series of six two-page spreads in issue #11 where the team fights their way through [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/double1.jpg Golems, Goblins, Living Brains, Purple Soviet Apes,]] [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/double2.jpg Laser Hawkings,]] [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/double3.jpg Naked Ninjas, S&M Iron Man Babies, Flying Windmill Men, Blue Skinned Space Pirates with Death Ray Peg Legs, Hamburger Shooting Bruce Campbell Elvis MODOKs,]] [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/double4.jpg Cyclops Brontasauri, Samurai Siamese Twins, Chimney Sweep Gargoyles,]] [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/double5.jpg Snakes on Planes, Wolverine Monkeys, A Giant Wolverine Ape,]] [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/double6.jpg A Sentinel Robot, Hidden Men, Giant Cyborg Astronaut Tigers, Two Kinds of Little Green Men and evil trees.]]
* ''DCOneMillion'' started out by creating a version of the JusticeLeagueOfAmerica from an insane amount of time in the future, where hyper-technology gave everyone superpowers, everyone was connected to a telepathic internet, and the Big Seven each had their own planet. Then it started raising the stakes. By the end of it, [[spoiler: the original {{Superman}} had emerged from his Fortress in the Sun to defeat Solaris the Living Star with a Comicbook/GreenLantern ring supplied by J'Onn J'Onzz, who was now Mars's GeniusLoci. He was then was reunited with Lois and his Kryptonian parents, recreated through some form of supercloning.]]
** ''One Million'' was by GrantMorrison. ''All'' Morrison's DC work is this.
* So, just how insane and ridiculous can {{Deadpool}} get today?
** More insane and more ridiculous. Obviously.
** To elaborate: One of his issues begins with a panel of Deadpool garotting Santa Claus while the caption reads: "A routine assignment." And that is probably the least weird thing that happens in that issue.
** By the way, no, [[NoodleIncident you never find out why he's garroting Santa Claus.]] [[http://www.comic-images.com/data/media/7/1179012345415.jpg Did we mention it was with barbed wire?]]
* Occurs to some extent in ''ElfQuest'': How much more evil can we make Winnowill in ''this'' story arc?
* ''Comicbook/TheIncredibleHulk''
** RedHulk used to be a villainous example. How many popular characters can he effortlessly beat? How many ways can he violate the rules of the MarvelUniverse just for something that [[RuleOfCool looks cool]]? How many items can he tick off the VillainSue checklist?
** Hulk often uses this trope himself to a lesser or greater extent depending upon the author. Just how mad/strong can he become?
* [[Ironman War machine]], one of his latest suits allows him to repurpose any weapon weather it's damaged or practically broken and attach it to his suit to become one living WMD, this might just seem out alittle out there but when you see him literally put pieces of a jet together to make a clawed gauntlet weapon and FLY at the same time or when he pulls pieces of a tank including treads and becomes a living breathing tank. To top that off implications that he can possibly interface with some of the deadliest weapons in the Marvel with no known limits, pushes it over the edge of impossible.

* ''WontonSoup'' by James Stokoe is a space trucker cooking opera set in a universe that makes the {{The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy}} seem sensible and simple. It's impossible to list the craziness of the series in one sentence but as an example one time the two main characters get [[MushroomSamba high off the brains]] of one of the galaxy's oldest races, a failsafe programn within the brain attempts to lead them to crystal forged from the hopes of a thousand alien geniuses. They simply have to say a safeword and the crystal will flush out the bad vibes, instead they stare at each other and then reach the same conclusion "Lets smoke it!" and somehow the comic goes even further into MindScrew territory.

* How many millions of people can be killed in Mega-City One in the latest catastrophe/big bad plot in "JudgeDredd"??

* Recent GreenLantern comics have established this with the emotional spectrum. For decades Green Lanterns were the only lanterns, and the existence of Sinestro's yellow ring was unique and specifically targeted at the Green Lantern's yellow weakness. Then, in the space of a year, we saw the introduction of Red, Orange, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Black Undead and the supreme White Lantern in a mega DCU crossover. This is what you get when you take the SixthRanger and push it past eleven. To their credit, DC did their best to put a unique spin on each one, but as to whether it worked or not, the jury is still out.

* In ''{{Transmetropolitan}}'' just how much of a CrazyAwesome bastard is Spider Jerusalem and how bizarre can the future be?

* How many millions of people can be killed in Mega-City One in the latest catastrophe/big bad plot in "JudgeDredd"??

* In the {{Superman}} comic "A Monumental Menace" there is a nearly mile-high, fourheaded golem... vomposed of Mount Rushmore. See The entry on {{Weaponized Landmark}} entry for a picture.
