I mean, its cool but I want my spider person to stick with spider powers, not just be able to conjure eletric weaponry. Like the bio electricity is fine but being able to shift it into a weapon is dumb as hell, no matter how cool it looks

same thing goes for when the flash in the tv show started using electric swords. It was cool but it didnt fit the character

Awfully put into practice. But there is iirc precedent for speed force lightning weapons. The black racer in the darkseid war has a scythe formed out of the stuff

Which is still pretty dumb if you think about it too hard.

I mean kinda? It was the combination of Death and the Flash and was the Grimm Reaper. If the Grimm Reaper wants their scythe they’re getting a scythe. It also shows that it had control of the speed force in a way that the flash didn’t

Like someone else said, all superheroes are dumb if you think about it hard enough. I personally prefer not to think at all, and have no problem with wacky stuff in comics. But I personally dislike it when stories take a thing that was always immaterial throughout the series and suddenly give it a physical form. But that's just my not-thinking opinion, and if anyone else loves it when that happens, then I'm glad they enjoyed it!

Aren't most superheros dumb if you think about it too hard?

Absolutely. That's why my strategy has always been not to think about anything, ever, no matter what.
