SMvsFL

From Rumblepedia

The SMvFL exception refers to the concept of an outlier in the powerset of a character. Due to needs of plot and inconsistencies between writers, a character may sometimes perform a feat that is entirely out of their abilities when compared to their normal level of power.

The exception was named for a fight between Spider-man, a Marvel superhero, and Firelord, a herald of Galactus. To the irritation of many readers, Spider-man managed to defeat Firelord. This should have been impossible, given Spiderman's day to day feats of strength and durability, but it was a canon fight.

The SMvFL exception was thus created in order to allow comparison of individual characters' powersets without confusing, one-shot feats cropping up. In a case where a feat is considered to be out of reach of a character and has happened only once or twice in the characters' history, the SMvFL exception is invoked and the feat is deemed invalid.

"And Gordon Smith, Upon reading the blasphemous Spiderman Versus Firelord, And Seeing the Infintely Inferior Spiderman best his exponetially superior opponent had this to say:

My Ass.

And so he struck down the tale with a mighty backhand, sending it into the depths of the forums, where all tales with such dribble were placed.

And to further shame it. A term was created to constantly remind it of its Idiocy.

SMVSFL. And It burned in mockery.

Forever and Ever. Amen." - Miburohunter929
