Flying SuperHeroes Must be Frost Resistant

Tweet

Have you ever been in a plane and saw your window ice over? Have you ever been in one where they list the current outdoor temperature at the altitude? Last year I was in one and it was -40 outside. And that was the middle of June when it was like 80 on the ground. The fact is that the atmosphere is cold. And it only gets colder the higher you go. Now then, how many superheroes fly to insane heights and usually take their very human love interests along with them? Not only is it freezing enough to cause frost bite by just sitting there, but flying at high speeds is a guaranteed death by windchill! Not to mention that the air is not breathable at certain altitudes. Now then, heroes like Superman are a clear exception to the effects of the cold, but is his suit? What about mutants like Rogue and Angel? Surely mutants like Starfire and superhumans like The Human Torch are fine, but is their fire okay at that height? I could go on, but clearly there is a lack of cold air in the DC and Marvel universes. After all, how many times have there been plane accidents and the different falling victims are safely rescued dropping from heights of 10,000 feet? They wouldn't survive the initial plunge. So what do you think? Is there an overwhelming lack of physics and real environments in a super hero universe? And if you have ever wished to fly through the fluffy clouds, were you aware that you needed arctic clothing to do so?
