| 8 | ''[[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/ Texts from Superheroes]]'' is a comedy blog focused around images of texts between various superheroes (generally comics from Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} and Creator/{{DC|Comics}}, though movie-verse jokes are made as well), and occasionally characters from other fiction. It's expanded into also doing sketches. The blog makes fun of characters, concepts and various other aspects of superhero comics/movies. Certainly worth a read, even if you aren't that knowledgeable about superhero comics. Find it [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/ here]]. The creators also have a Youtube channel entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAnuupFaDJoTGCAR3TLakTw/featured Sketch From Superheroes]]. |

| 17 | * AlmightyMom: Gender-flipped. Thor would rather that Tony make a Thor-buster armor as a contingency plan in case Thor goes rogue, rather than [[http://66.media.tumblr.com/7b5443d5bebb55cb54ba32e1654936c7/tumblr_nnp8edoJO21rvya9ro7_540.png call his father Odin]]. |

| 21 | ** [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/179000609452 Iron Fist believes in Santa for similar reasons]], and [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/f93376bbf8f1e387da746548c44cae68/tumblr_inline_pk5j97Pouj1rp2l9y_1280.png the Richards family chooses to "play it safe" when it comes to St. Nick]]. |
| 22 | * ArmorPiercingResponse: Batman [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/165564639673 texting]] the wrong person turns into one of these: |
| 23 | -->'''ComicBook/{{Batman}}:''' Tell me, do you bleed?\ |
| 24 | '''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}:''' I hope you meant to send this to Superman. This is Supergirl, and the answer is yes, once a month since I was 14. Don't message me.\ |
| 25 | '''Batman:''' And we're done here. You win. |
| 26 | * AwesomeAussie: Invoked, in that Captain Boomerang is actually from Brooklyn but he ''really'' liked Crocodile Dundee, so that's what he based his awesome supervillain persona on. |
| 27 | * BedlamHouse: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/74115332140 Harley and Bane discuss Arkham]]. |
| 28 | * BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178491847967 Or rather Jesus is a mutant, implied to be Wolverine of all people assuming Cable isn't trolling.]] |

| 32 | -->'''Tony''': You were right, okay?! You were right! Just get out here! Please.\ |
| 33 | '''Steve''': Did that hurt?\ |
| 34 | '''Tony''': Even more than getting [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar punched by the giant purple guy]]. Which hurt a lot! Bring band-aids. |
| 35 | * BreadEggsMilkSquick: One text is a conversation between Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson. Sam invites Bucky to a therapy session for people who were snapped out of existence and came back five years later. Bucky declines because he's already gotten used to it due to Hydra unfreezing him for a task him every few years. When Sam asks if Bucky has any advice, Bucky tells him: 1) just smile and nod when people talk to you about pop culture stuff. 2) Don't bother to update your wardrobe because fashion is cyclical. and 3) Kill whoever you're told to kill. Bucky then concludes that maybe therapy isn't such a bad idea. |
| 36 | * BrainBleach: Supergirl [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/179458097497 agrees]] to take [[SuperSpeed a quick look]] [[XRayVision into every building in the city]] to find a bomb, and sees some things she wishes she hadn't. |
| 37 | -->'''Supergirl:''' I need to [[KillItWithFire fly through the sun]] and clean my eyeballs. |
| 38 | * {{Butterface}}: The term itself is never actually used, but [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/16cf4b5cb7cff91ca350a7cdba7bda9d/tumblr_olfbl1b9a91rvya9ro1_1280.png Poison Ivy seems to think that Swamp Thing fits the description]]. |
| 39 | * BroughtDownToNormal: The Justice League lets Superman know that this trope [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178519049927 is no excuse to sit out a mission]]. |
| 40 | * CaptainCrash: Captain America is on a no-fly list due to his track record with anything that flies. As Hawkeye points out, his motorbikes don't fare much better; he has a habit of using them as [[CarFu projectile weapons.]] |
| 41 | * ColorCharacter: Discussed. [[http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/1/6/8/348168_v1.jpg What do you mean White Tiger isn't white? It's in her name, isn't it?]] |
| 42 | * CompanionCube: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/91414567741 "No don't hurt Battle Van he's my best friend."]] |
| 43 | * ClarkKenting: Actually not effective, as Metallo used [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome facial recognition]] and Luthor already knew - [[ExploitedTrope having ignored it]] purely so Clark Kent wouldn't fight crime 24/7. |
| 44 | * CrazyPrepared: |
| 45 | ** [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178422646877 Just in case Robin asks Superman to peek at Christmas presents...]] |
| 46 | ** [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/117818043517 Hawkeye has an exploding water-arrow in case of fire monsters]]. |
| 47 | --> '''Black Widow:''' You're dumb. |
| 48 | --> '''Hawkeye:''' That's not what you'll be saying when the fire monsters show up. |
| 49 | * CrisisOfFaith: Daredevil asks Doctor Strange if God is real. Strange casually confirms that He is, and so is the Devil. "I fought him a few times. He's a real jerk." |
| 50 | --> '''Daredevil:''' Wow. Okay, that was easy. |
| 51 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/70034308704 Discussed here.]] |
| 52 | * DatingCatwoman: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/76577137553 Clark asks Bruce outright concerning the trope namer]]. |
| 53 | * DeadpanSnarker: Many, many punchlines appear to be delivered in this fashion. [[TheStoic Batman]] is probably the most frequent perpetrator. |
| 54 | -->'''Batman:''' [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/5c3bd8c1f4b5394f06e1b132823b558e/tumblr_inline_owqu5rR1kf1rp2l9y_1280.png I could give you some bat tracking devices so you can track [your clothes].]]\ |
| 55 | '''Superman:''' I'm pretty sure those things cost more than my clothes do.\ |
| 56 | '''Batman:''' Everything I own costs more than your clothes do. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | -->'''Green Arrow:''' [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/5b25b12bfcb29893638b5816e514bd7c/tumblr_olskn8wjEY1rvya9ro1_1280.png That's not fair. Would you hang out with someone who bathes in Kryptonite]]?\ |
| 59 | '''Superman:''' My best friend keeps a piece of it on his belt at all times.\ |
| 60 | '''Green Arrow:''' You need better friends man. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | -->'''Robin:''' [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/179018336122 Don't expect me to be stealthy with a hacking cough]].\ |
| 63 | '''Batman:''' Have you seen your costume? I never expect you to be stealthy. |
| 64 | * DiscreditedMeme: InUniverse Ant-Man was ''really'' not too keen on the whole [[Film/AvengersEndgame crawl-up-into-Thanos'-ass-while-tiny-and expand-to-GiAnt-Man-size]] plan. |
| 65 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178713545327 This conversation]] between Shou-Lao and Iron Fist sounds an awful lot like a person running into an old one-night stand. |
| 66 | * DoomyDoomsOfDoom: [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/7f14ec623ee0e3e8e988f2a03ebc68f1/tumblr_okkfvcYH4L1rvya9ro1_1280.png Lex Luthor apparently thinks he's a hero, despite the fact that, as Joker points out, the name of the team he leads isn't exactly noble]]. |
| 67 | * TheDreaded: [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/727c7c1b3b0e8a0a5a52a44beabdc67d/tumblr_inline_plhm0jzqi41rp2l9y_500.png The Punisher is this for Taskmaster.]] |
| 68 | * EspeciallyZoidberg: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/87645950319 "We are all related." "Even the dog?" "Especially the dog."]] |
| 69 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When Iron Man and Tony are discussing how The Mandarin is the villain of ''Film/IronMan3'', [[https://i.imgur.com/rOw8Fe4.jpeg Red Skull]] pops in just to say how even he finds the character offensive. |
| 70 | * EveryoneHasStandards: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/144225023394/blackmail General Ross doesn't take to kindly to recruiting]] ChildSoldiers. |
| 71 | -->'''[[ComicBook/RedHulk Gen. Ross]]:''' I saw footage of [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar the airport battle]], Tony. [[ComicBook/SpiderMan That spider guy]] isn't [[SuperRegistrationAct registered]]. He has to sign the accords.\ |
| 72 | '''ComicBook/IronMan:''' Yeah, about that, can we add a spot for a parental signature? Well legal guardian actually. [[SilverFox Surprisingly hot legal guardian.]]\ |
| 73 | '''Gen. Ross:''' [[DoubleTake Parental signature?]] [[SuddenlyShouting ARE YOU TELLING ME]] [[WhatTheHellHero YOU RECRUITED]] A CHILD SOLDIER!?\ |
| 74 | '''Iron Man:''' [[DistinctionWithoutADifference I didn't recruit him. I just threatened to tell his Aunt if he didn't help out.]]\ |
| 75 | '''Gen. Ross:''' [[NotHelpingYourCase So you blackmailed a kid into fighting a war?]]\ |
| 76 | '''Iron Man:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Yeah blackmail definitely sounds like what I did.]] |
| 77 | * EvilLawyerJoke: [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/ddfa53e96b5a04b45f609568e1943f54/tumblr_pxzt0v1JpR1rxjb9io1_1280.png Daredevil suggests Spiderman get a lawyer and sue the ''Daily Bugle for libel, only to get a joke about how horrible lawyers are. Daredevil says it's absolutely not hurtful]]. |
| 78 | * FearlessFool: [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178514998382 "No, I'm Daredevil. I'm the man without fear."]] |
| 79 | * FictionalHoliday: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/103685979086 This conversation]] between the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy contains some alien examples of weird holidays. One of them isn't even real and was just made-up as an excuse to eat garbage. |
| 80 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/81536785897/bestofcap There have been several jokes about Captain America being behind the times, so to speak.]] Wolverine's amnesia makes him [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/147566374236/capstarwars a perfect foil]] for Cap in this type of joke. |
| 81 | * FormulaBreakingEpisode: There have been a couple of times where they've done texts between non-superhero characters. Examples include [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/104634525300/smashbrothers Mario and Luigi]] and [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/104422709446 Han Solo and Luke Skywalker]] |

| 85 | --> '''Iron Man:''' You're in a skintight leather outfit, how are you storing more weapons than me? |
| 86 | --> '''Black Widow:''' You should see me play Tetris. |
| 87 | * HarmlessVillain: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/84772102846 Mysterio, much to his dismay.]] |
| 88 | * HehHehYouSaidX: Perhaps unsurprisingly, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} is [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/bb827ebad92d84aa6ab11e573a69d01c/tumblr_ovs374p5nH1rvya9ro1_1280.png more than willing]] to invoke this trope: |
| 89 | -->'''Deadpool:''' So, can you offer me employment with The Hand?\ |
| 90 | '''Elektra:''' Sure, I'll give you a shot.\ |
| 91 | '''Deadpool:''' Shot means?\ |
| 92 | '''Elektra:''' A job.\ |
| 93 | '''Deadpool:''' Working for?\ |
| 94 | '''Elektra:''' The Hand.\ |
| 95 | '''Deadpool:''' So what you're saying is...\ |
| 96 | '''Elektra:''' I'm offering you a Hand Job!\ |
| 97 | '''Deadpool:''' BAHAHAHAHAH! You said it! Yes!\ |
| 98 | '''Elektra''': Ugh. I'm sending so many assassins after you for this.\ |
| 99 | '''Deadpool''': [[WorthIt I REGRET NOTHING]]! |
| 100 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/5eb82ff72c17c34b3ae4eeb0ca9082ea/tumblr_om7c56lf2E1rvya9ro1_1280.png Batman is well aware that Robin's costume makes him easy to see]]. |
| 101 | * InformedAbility: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/117475687662 Even Thanos doesn't know why people fear him]]. |
| 102 | * InstantCostumeChange: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/99954221993 Flash gets naked in front of everyone...only for a microsecond]] |
| 103 | -->'''Green Lantern''': Can't Superman see you moving at SuperSpeed?\ |
| 104 | '''Flash''': Oh yeah. He's seen EVERYTHING. |
| 105 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Just Here For Miles Morales. Lampshaded [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/109162409992/mileswar here.]] |
| 106 | * KryptoniteProofSuit: ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} asks ComicBook/{{Superman}} why she was never informed of the existence of Kryptonite-proof suits. [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178954779027 He explains his enemies would not leave him alone if he was totally invulnerable]]. And when he says "enemies", he means Batman. |
| 107 | * LackOfEmpathy: [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178513760872 Spidey toward Sandman]]. |
| 108 | * LampshadeHanging: A common theme-- everything from nonsensical character names to poorly designed costumes is pointed out and discussed. |
| 109 | ** [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/122811120241 Here]] concerning the "non-lethal" batmobile from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight''. |
| 110 | * LargeHam: Among others, [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] shares this quality with his MCU counterpart. He uses very ornate English and gets excited over almost everything. |
| 111 | * LogicalWeakness: |
| 112 | ** [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/178515553982 The ability to copy anyone's fighting style and predict their every move doesn't really help against someone whose fighting style is "a roof, a sniper rifle, and a bullet."]] |
| 113 | ** Illusion powers don't work on someone who's blind. Daredevil didn't even notice that Mysterio was trying to trick him. |
| 114 | * MadScientist: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/116868765352 Krypton's Council might not have been wrong about Jor-El after all...]] |
| 115 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Deadpool considers getting shot with [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill 1300 arrows and nearly 100 harpoons]] as ''just'' [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/152053266006 "a helluva day"]] for him. |
| 116 | -->'''Hawkeye''': WHO DID YOU PISS OFF?!\ |
| 117 | '''Deadpool''': Same people who hit me with the 1300 arrows. Ninja whalers. It's been a helluva day. |
| 118 | * MisterSeahorse: Sue Storm of the Fantastic Four once told Reed Richards he couldn't handle pregnancy--but then later she walked in on him [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/717253329698324480 trying to impregnate himself with his Pregnancy Laser 2.0]]. |
| 119 | --> '''Johnny:''' ...what happened to the Pregnancy Laser 1.0? |
| 120 | --> '''Sue:''' I've been scared to ask. |
| 121 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Lampshaded [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/129748508372 here.]] |
| 122 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: Just like in his films, Thor gets excited over things that Midgardians take for granted: |
| 123 | -->'''Thor:''' [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/5f1092380f610786e90543110f86eea3/tumblr_inline_oh69ts5hmO1rp2l9y_1280.png I am already here, Friend Stark. Let us meet in aisle 4]].\ |
| 124 | '''Iron Man:''' Is Hulk there?\ |
| 125 | '''Thor:''' No, but the price of these Pringles is incredible, on this, your darkest of Fridays. |
| 126 | * MundaneUtility: |
| 127 | ** [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/131460375871/ironspidey Spider-Man uses his webbing to make hammocks.]] |
| 128 | ** [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/150237730418 Black Lightning uses his electric powers to power his own house]]. |
| 129 | ** Villainous example--Ra's al Ghul uses the Lazarus Pit [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/110498449566 for reviving dead plants and even turkeys]]. |
| 130 | --> '''Ra's al Ghul:''' I've fed this league on the same turkey for 350 years! |
| 131 | ** Magneto requests for Professor X to psychoanalyze some teammates, whilst Charles asks him to assist with [=MRIs=] for his. |
| 132 | --> '''Magneto:''' What happened to us, Charles?\ |
| 133 | '''Xavier:''' The recession, mostly. |
| 134 | ** Barry Allen gets a job wrapping Christmas presents at a mall. Downside, he does it so fast [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/153801214905/barrypresent he sends a few through time.]] Upside, Iris got an iPhone 9 years in advance. |
| 135 | * MyBrainIsBig: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by The Leader and MODOK. The Leader points out that Dr. Doom is at least as smart as they are, but he has a normal-sized head. He eventually comes to the conclusion that he and MODOK are idiots for allowing their heads to swell to such massive sizes. |
| 136 | * MyNewGiftIsLame: |
| 137 | ** [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/323fee15dad4fec2ee616ad5f8018422/tumblr_inline_olahu1LJjt1rp2l9y_1280.png Hal and Carol aren't exactly on the same gift-giving page]]. |

| 139 | ** Batman also enjoys invoking this, dropping by the ''Daily Planet'' just to give [[Characters/SupermanLoisLane Lois Lane]] misinformation about what gifts Clark would like. |
| 140 | * NoBackwardsCompatibilityInTheFuture: Cable [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/683200447790612480 provides a data packet]] for preventing a future apocalypse; however, it's on a device with a little triangular port that's not compatible with any present-day connectors. Professor X concludes that they'll just have to watch ongoing tech developments and hope the triangle-port connector comes on the market while there's still time to act on the information. |
| 141 | * NonIndicativeName: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/119808705665 Tony doesn't quite get that the ]] ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist isn't ''[[LegacyImmortality literally]]'' immortal. |
| 142 | * NoOSHACompliance: M.O.D.O.K. [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/163658504206 tries to avert this]], but it turns out it makes it very easy for other Avengers to disguise themselves and get close to him. |
| 143 | -->'''M.O.D.O.K.''': These suits are not idiotic they're chemical suits. You never know when you're going to work with chemicals. Safety first.\ |
| 144 | '''Iron Man''': BTW the four guys nearest to you are Hawkeye, Cap, Widow, and Panther in AIM disguises.\ |
| 145 | '''M.O.D.O.K.''': Safety can go to hell I hate these suits. |
| 146 | * NotSoAboveItAll: |
| 147 | ** Batman, at times. This is especially evident [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/77195387983 when he "unofficially" endorses Wonder Woman crashing her invisible jet into Lex Luthor's house.]] |
| 148 | ** Reed Richards has a moment when Doctor Doom tries to use his diplomatic immunity to get away with his latest crime and Reed retaliates by calling Thor and Black Panther, who also have diplomatic immunity, to deal with him and sends the [[https://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/610896253179576320 mocking Spongebob meme]] when Doom complains. |
| 149 | * NWordPrivileges: [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/41899b3b5483013fac37e2c8381d1d1b/tumblr_owp5dcNij51rvya9ro1_1280.png Unless Logan was just trolling, wolverines (and Wolverine himself) have one]]: |
| 150 | -->'''Phoenix:''' Skunk Bear is another name for Wolverines?\ |
| 151 | '''Wolverine:''' Yeah but it's our word. You can't use it. |
| 152 | * OffWithHisHead: [[ComicBook/WinterSoldier Bucky]] and ComicBook/TheFalcon both [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/image/150006895605 had trouble using Steve's shield at first]]: |
| 153 | -->'''Falcon:''' For the first while did you... umm...\ |
| 154 | '''Bucky:''' Accidentally decapitate people? Most definitely. |
| 155 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: ComicBook/DoctorStrange is [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/82433295760 quick to remind people]] that [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/84271305685 his title isn't just for show.]] |
| 156 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/85370342243 Batman will never let Green Arrow forget about Speedy doing drugs.]] |

| 158 | * PaperThinDisguise: In the "yes it's really me online, guys" flavor, with [[http://textsfromsuperheroes.com/post/167786742143/hulkthanksgiving Tony skeptical on whether or not to invite Bruce to Thanksgiving, not sure if he'll get Bruce of The Hulk]]... |
| 159 | -->'''Black Widow''': Just say hi and see how he responds before you invite him. It's easy to tell if it's Bruce or Hulk.\ |
| 160 | '''Hawkeye''': I dunno, Hulk's gotten better at pretending to be Bruce via text lately. But I'll add him to group chat...\ |
| 161 | '''"Bruce"''':[[note]]his user icon is half Hulk, half Bruce[[/note]] [[InstantlyProvenWrong EINSTEIN SMART. BLACK HOLES STRONG! I IS PUNY BRUCE]]!\ |
| 162 | '''Hawkeye''': [[SarcasmMode I just can't tell]]. |
