Almost every issue of the original Captain Marvel comic has Billy Batson gagged so he can't speak the magic word. And this before duct tape reached the general public

For most of the later part of Doctor Fate's run (all of the half-helmet run and the tail end of the full helmet run), Doc's weakness was gas, and just about every two-bit hood he faced had access to gas to knock out Doc before he recovered to do his bad-Superman impersonation from that era (he had ceased to be a magical hero in all but name and had become a generic super-hero with Superman like powers with a weakness to gas instead of kryptonite).

The Martian Manhunter would frequently run into ordinary citizens lighting cigarettes, burning leaves, etc. whenever he was pursuing bad guys. I still have that issue of MM where he goes absolutely insane over Oreos Chocos

Tony Stark's transistors always ran out of power at the worst moments.
Iron Man... AC or DC? Only Pepper Potts knows for sure!
I'm pretty sure that judging by that two-prong ungrounded plug, Tony's armor is not UL listed!

Does he use one of those cheap adapter/converters for when he's overseas? Like I bring on business trips, and my laptop plug loosely fits into it and somehow it works but I have this dread it's going to set on fire any moment.

Speaking of Iron Man in the context of this thread, back in the '60s he was always on the verge of running out of power and needing to find an outlet to plug in.

UL didn't require 3-prong plugs on major appliances until 1969. If that story is from Tales of Suspense, he was OK.

At least until he touches a properly grounded appliance while plugged in.
