Dude that is totally right! But it's like, a comic book? Turned into a cartoon and all?

And Cyclops is somehow not a jerk in this version? Explain that!

He’s still dickish

@Solro Incorrect! A hangman's noose causes a sudden stop, all the deceleration happens in one moment, which is what breaks the persons neck. By applying a force *over time* Cyclops could have slowed down gradually.

I’d be amenable to that theory if cyclops had the neck muscles of a linebacker

The darkest joke I have ever heard was some big wig going on a tangent at a conference for the NYSSIPP (basically a board review course for surgeons in New York state).

Old, Brooklyn-ass dude goes on a tangent about how to properly hang yourself. Given the generally low basement height in NYC, "You need that jerk, so you're going to have a happier time killing yourself outside the city."

When I lived in upstate NY, a local gym teacher accused of molesting kids killed himself in the sheriffs station by using the cord from the lamp tied into a drawer on the desk and then laying down under the desk.

Considering how deeply weird the guy was behaving, I actually don't think that was a 'suicide'.

Cyclops slows his fall gradually, plus he's a superhero.

Arch we’re mostly talking about the force needed to snap a neck to do a “humane” hanging. What you’re describing is just slow strangulation.

The desk thing actually isn’t that uncommon in prisons, just reimagined with bedsheets and a bed.

Once you pass out, gravity does the rest of the work

@arch Yeah, that sounds like a Carradine Event.
