The image on This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman is two heads and a large amount of speech bubble. The text does all the work, and the text is actually a subversion of the trope rather than a straight example. This doesn't add to the page and I suggest we pull it.

It's not easy to show this in pictures, but perhaps a collage of Knightboat (the crime solving boat) would work? Some of this and that, the gist is that the criminals escape next to a convenient river because otherwise the titular boat couldn't follow them.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The current is bad, but I'm not sure that the suggestion is a huge improvement.

The suggestions are definitely worse.

Ideally we would have a superhero approaching a problem, thinking to himself I can use my X to Y

Not a superhero, but perhaps a portion of Oglaf's Labyrinth (Link SFW, rest of website not)

Decent example, but it'd take a few too many frames for my liking to get the point across.

It loses a lot of punch without the Rule of Three. Link to the full comic on ImageLinks.This Looks Like A Job For Aquaman, sure, but I don't think it'll work as a page image.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

That's pretty much the entire thing.

Too many panels won't fit, and it looses its charm when you try to condense it.

Re-clocked. I'm still good to pull the current.

The new clock's way up and there's not enough consensus to pull the current; locking up. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
