No no, that only happens if you are Gwen Stacy.

Wispy2891@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI didn’t see the movie, but if someone is dropped from hundreds of meters, then catched before he hits the ground, the instant deceleration has the same effect of hitting the ground, no?

It’s being caught logic.
Hitting cement and decelerating over 0.001 meters? Instant death.
Hitting heroes arms and decelerating over 0.01 meters? Totally fine, no injuries, good to head back to work or whatever.

Same as iron man hitting the ground (landing or falling, no difference). Inside his suit would be mush.

Superman does it regularly enough that we suspect one of his powers is really control over inertia

Superman is weird; flying around at supersonic speeds would also cause some severe abrasions and likely suffocation, but supes drags Lois around all over the world in comics. Iirc, canonically he has some intrinsic powers, like a forcefield to protect passengers in flight, telekinetic abilities that work in tandem with physical touch to prevent him from ripping through things accidentally, and apparently the ability to prevent damage when catching things at terminal velocity.
