To be fair, Superman’s had like 30 years of soaking up the sun to charge him up, and Nuclear Man’s only been around for five minutes. But at the same time, it does kind of seem like a pretty awful move to kick off a master plan that can be foiled by Venetian blinds.

You meet someone called the Dragon Sage, who is literally a dragon that's going to help you. She'll tell you that there's another dragon up ahead, and he's "a terrible bastard" and he keeps children hostage. But she tells you the one way to beat him: He's absurdly weak against magic missiles. Weak against magic missiles? That puts this dragon in the front-running for THE MOST PUSSY DRAGON OF ALL TIME.

We learn a bit more on how the mecha work through Shinji's training sessions. All I can say is... Extension cords? This huge battling 'bot can be transported all throughout the cityscape but can be defeated by a careless cat on Christmas Eve?
At first glance, Green Lantern seems like the only Superfriend who's up to Superman levels of power. He can make anything he wants just by thinking about it, plus he has a snazzy outfit. But then there's his weakness: yellow. A primary color, for God's sake! 'Big Bird! You have defeated me once again!' 'Lemon-scented dishwashing liquid! Lo! I am foiled!' 'Marshmallow peeps! Nooooooooooo!'

I used to make fun of Green Lantern for being vulnerable to the colour yellow! Then I choked on my orange juice one morning and nearly suffocated.
Arthur: Whoa whoa WHOA, you're saying they've set it up so that Green Lantern's greatest weakness is -
Sheldon: The color yellow. Yes.
Arthur: Oh man, that is so tremendously lame. It's like having a vulnerability to... hexagons or something.

But for every very mild super power, there's a very mild super weakness too: I get nauseous 'round the smell of bins, I'm afraid of certain shop mannequins, I hate the cheese that's individually sliced and vacuum-wrapped in plastic, I can never tell when people are being sarcastic.
—David O'Doherty, Very Mild Superpowers

Raj: I like Green Lantern, I'm just saying it's pretty lame that he can be defeated by the color yellow.
Sheldon: Only the modern Green Lantern is vulnerable to yellow.

Claptrap: "Damn you, Jack! How did you know stairs were my only weakness? Next to electrocution, and explosions, and gunfire, rust, corrosion, being kicked a lot, viruses, being called bad names, falling from great heights, drowning, adult onset diabetes, being looked at funny, heart attacks, exposure to oxygen, being turned down by women, and pet allergens!"
Robin: (seeing Batman's contingency plan to kill Martian Manhunter) Fire's his one weakness!
Batman: Yeah, fire's everyone's weakness, it's fucking fire.

The man in the green, black, and white costume focused the energy of his power ring on Selina Kyle's body. As before, he knew it would be enough to sustain life, but not to cure.
Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern, knew that there had to be some yellow material in the poison that ravaged the former Catwoman. Even the ring had limits. It always would.
Sometimes, those limits cost lives.

Batman: And you... (looks at the Green Lantern) ...your weakness is the color yellow.
Superman: Wait, are you serious?
Green Lantern: Yeah, so what? If a meteor is crashing down to Earth, I'd like to see you stop it. What're you gonna do, throw a batarang at it?
Batman: Well, for situations like that? You're right. You're needed. But if you're gonna stop a mugging and the guy's wearing all yellow, what're you gonna do?
Green Lantern: ...fuck you, Bruce.

Miss Pauling: Poor [Demoman]. What'd they dose him with? Sodium pentathol?
Spy: Solid food and water. His body's spent ten years wrestling nutrients out of grain alcohol and aspirin. I expect it thinks it's been poisoned.
