You know you're living in a comic book when....

The term "Act of God" is continually being redefined by the insurance companies.

In addition to the usual morning traffic reports, there's a "Villian Fight" monitor. "And today, the slowdown on the I-80 is caused by one of Doctor Octopus' runaway robots. Across town, the police are in a standoff with Captain Choas, so I'd avoid the intersection of Meridian and Campbell streets...."

The air traffic controllers use military-capable radar so they can pinpoint flying objects smaller than a Cessna and faster than the SR71 Blackbird.

Those same air traffic controllers have a burnout rate of three weeks.

Half of the yellow pages is devoted to damage control and construction companies, and they all still have a backlog of two months.

You know when...
  • Guys are in spandex...and lookin' good!
  • You get stubble and people call you "Fuzzy"
  • Every other woman is drop-dead gorgeous and just happens to like YOU.
  • You will NEVER get your freak on; comics are rated PG-13 or below. :D

You can't go to school because an android blew it up, or a gian strong mand tore it down because he didn't like the principal and had all his problems and anger bottled up until the day he was conveninetly experimented on.

People have no problem with superpowered heroes like the Fantastic Four, or the Avengers, or Superman, but if you stick the word "mutant" on them, they suddenly transform into something loathesome for no apparent reason and have to be controlled. :? :? :?

Japan actually DOES have a Godzilla Watch, and tourists are advised not to visit during Mating Season on Monster Island.

Medicine takes a sharp left turn. You never suffer complications from being knocked out. You never have cavities or yeast infections/jock itch. People can wake up from comas and be 100% functional, if a bit physically weak, instead of having to relearn how to walk, talk, eat. and think all over again. "Catatonic Schitzophrenia" means "any time someone goes into a coma", and it's completely devoid of such symptoms as waxy mobility and repetitive motions.

For us girls: you never have monthly accidents staining your clothes ;)

You discover that somehow you're related to Scott Summers. :eek Never mind that you're African-American... :shocked and a recent immigrant from Haiti.... :die

You can never believe someone has died from a bullet to the head, or a car crash, or falling into a volcano. In fact, if everyone sees it happen, you can be sure the poor bastard will show up alive next month....

People start talking in long, pretentious, stilted blocks of text, despite being in a firefight or running a marathon.

People also start to state what is happening to them as it happens. "My God! That Train! About to hit me -- !*crunch*"

No one stands "normally". They have to pose in a heroic fashion, fists clenched.

-when, instead of hearing sound, you see strange white balloons over people's heads with text and instead of noises you see big colorful words like CRASH!, POW!, WHOOM!, SNIKT!, BAMF!, etc...:LOL
-When half of the population have superpowers:eek
-When these super-powered people actually form groups to fight crimeand dress in ridiculous spandex suits
-When you don't have to work to mantain a huge mansion that is destroyed monthly with tons of students in it...
-All the super-powered people look good;)

Your shot in the back, fall into a river and come back a year later after a coma and awake in a mental hospital conveniently the same hospital holding the person who tried to kill you. Revenge?

Everyody can read your thoughts...litterally.

You know you are in a comic book when

Spandex is the top seller in fashion

That your life is nothing but story arcs

Your mansion neighbors have very strange parties almost everday.

That you don't need a job and that everything seems to pay for itself.

-Nobody really bats an eye at anything strange, unless it's flashy and saving some chick's/young child's life.

-When nobody really cares about how your power works, just that it does.

-When blue skin/fur/scales go pretty well with every clothing style, 'specially spandex, no matter what color.

You know you’re living in a comic book when

You have met relatives or alter egos from a dozen different possible futures or alternate universes.

You can’t remember who is your foster sister, your adoptive sister, your half brother and your counsin’s nephew is also your uncle.

You are so busy being a superhero you don’t take the time to eat or sleep.

You not only wear spandex costumes to fight villains, but you also walk around the house all day in them.

You’ve been stretched, mind controlled, switched bodies with someone else, been turned into a zombie, a host for aliens, sent to limbo etc., and you are still mentally competent.

You actually finally get to sleep and wake up hundreds of miles away in a huge crowd of odd looking creatures and you're stark naked :eek

A woman bursts into your mansion and cries "Yes, it is I, your former lover. I know you thought I was dead after that skiing accident but I only had a coma and have been living in Maui. Yes. I AM YOUR MOTHER."

No matter how times your home has been destroyed, you will ALWAYS have the money to rebuild it.

When someone is about to die, you must ALWAYS shout their name!

Psychotic criminals who cause a billion dollars worth of damage are regularly put in a prison that they regularly escape from, rather than being sent to the gas chamber.

You can never be sure who your relatives are. After all, DNA can be altered and faked with such ease....

Civillian superheroes regularly save the world from alien invasions and awesome super-weaponry, yet they wouldn't be caught dead doing the same thing against normal humans in such trouble spots as Liberia, Tibet, Myanmar, Somalia, Ruanda, or the Middle East....

The Kree, Skrull, and Shi'Ar all have embassies in Washington DC.

- You've ever had to give back your life insurance collection.

- You actively seek out radioactiove carcinogens hoping to gain a little extra muscle.

-You've lived through 2 world wars, 9-11, vietnam, and the crowning of Loius XIV, but have yet to gain one grey hair.

- When you here that national monuments are destroyed, your reaction is not shock, but annoyance. "Well, guesswe'll have to pa to rebuild THAT again"

There's no such thing as Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismal, Ammodium, or any other medicine of the sort sold in drugstores, because no one ever gets diarrhea.

You stay 14/27/35 years old forever. And if it becomes inconvenient to both look like you're in your 30s and be a WWII icon (cough*Captain America*cough), nobody will ever mention it to you....

No one ever gets acne, either.
