Aye, it's all about what theme you're exploring or mood that's being set. We don't have batman exploding into mist when he fights people who can lift planes/cruise ships with their bare hands, because that's not the story being told. When the theme is about the consequences of powers, rather than the escapism and being good (the 'super' part of superman being his morals and convictions), we get the boys and their (gory) explosions.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
