All of this stuff makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a fully pedantic story.
I've seen books where the hero was on the verge of winning but gets randomly concussed by a piece of shrapnel. Disoriented, hospital.
Another where the hero had hearing loss issues from solo pistol badassing too much, sans ear protection. (Forgot the titles of these stories).
But what would it take to meet everything? Imagine Superman. Now he has to mind his acceleration to save people. He also has to mind distribution of force, since he can't lift a plane without puncturing it. (Maybe he can make a little energy net under the plane somehow to distribute pressure?) And then he has to mind the Law of Conservation of Energy unless he splits apart matter somehow. And then this and that...
Will adherently realistic changes downrank most stories? I for one laugh my ass off when The Rock flexes his broken arm cast off in F&F.
If you make a superhero realistic, they'll be just some guy.
You have super strength. You attempt to lift an incredibly heavy object and... You push your legs into the ground instead. That's not just some guy, but it is a lot less useful of a power lol
But where do you stop? the structural integrity of the ground? What about that of muscle fiber? You are super strong but when you try to lift something, your biceps just explodes.
