“Thor destroyed my car!”
“Sorry sir, act of god”
If Supes is doing it to stop some dickwad from destroying the Earth, enslaving humanity, or erasing the concept of pizzas, I'll be yelling at him to do it again. Fuck the car, I can walk!
Please, not in this timeline. Its homelander pumelling a camera crew that filmed him killing a bus full of kids with cancer.
what is this pic actually from?
Google circle to search can be useful
Imgur.
No need to thank me.
On a related note:
United States Department of Damage Control is a fictional construction company appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The company specializes in repairing the property damage caused by conflicts between superheroes and supervillains.[1] Three Damage Control limited series have been published.

Also note that the initials of "Damage Control" are "D.C."
This goes part of the way to explain why people are willing to continue to live in NYC despite it being regularly attacked by supervillains, aliens, demons, etc. Though, I still think Philadelphia, Newark, Allentown and New Haven would probably be experiencing a lot of growth, seeing as they appear to be close to NYC and yet safe from the NYC chaos and danger.
Probably not in Allentown, since Billy Joel informs me that they're closing all the factories down.
Insurance would totally try to claim Act of God on that one.
In a world with superheroes there would totally be superhero insurance
"Our insurance does not cover acts of Superman."
Switch to Luthor Insurance. We cover acts of Superman, alien invasion, cataclysm, even Darkseid.
By signing this waiver, the insured party (hereafter referred to as “the unfortunate soul”) acknowledges that Luthor Insurance assumes no responsibility for any claims, damages, disasters, acts of villainy, or mysterious disappearances.
Terms & Conditions:
- Luthor Insurance reserves the right to deny all claims on the grounds of "bad luck."
- Any attempt to file a claim may result in an additional “Inconvenience Fee.”
- Coverage excludes fire, floods, theft, accidents, misfortune, betrayal, and all incidents involving curses, hexes, or ominous coincidences.
- Luthor Insurance retains the right to unilaterally change policy terms, preferably when it is least convenient for the insured.
- Any disputes must be settled in the Luthor Insurance Court of Unfair Appeals, where rulings are final and always favor Luthor Insurance.
By signing below, the unfortunate soul agrees to these terms in perpetuity and waives all rights to fairness, justice, or reasonable compensation.

Date: _______________
So, The Boys
Well, as of the last trailer there isn't much of a difference between Superman and Homelander. Both are whiny, entitled assholes who believe that it's unthinkable that anyone should question how they use their powers.
He has insurance for that, right?
Right?
Insurance doesn't cover acts of God
Funny side topic:
Insurance doesn’t cover acts of terrorism. So, by the DOJ placing that label on recent Tesla vandalism, the insurance claims become invalid.
So basically one shouldnt get a tesla since insurance wont cover it?
I could probably convince a jury he’s more of an alien
Deport him!
He's called superman, not supergod
Jesus is both man and god. Have we considered the possibility of a superjesus?
Superman falls under the Force Majeure-clause
If he pay taxes he is so mundane as you and me
Superman isn't a god. The definitions of what a god is across cultures are pretty varied, but one thing that pretty much all of them have in common is that a god has authority over at least some part of nature (often being a personification of that part.) Superman has no authority (beyond the trust that humans willingly give to him do to his actions,) he's just really strong.
The fact that modern writers insist on treating Superman as a god is one of the reasons why so many modern Superman stories suck.
i um, i think it was a joke
A lot of writers don't treat it as a joke.
- In his extra undies he is in incognito mode, which is funnily him taking his glasses off… So I reckon his real sacrifice is one of chastity…
- He is broke, canonically so!
So no, but thats why you read the small print on your contract to make sure that you only have to worry about your life in a case of alien invasion/terrorist attack/…
I mean, depending on how much the value of the car has changed, you might get lucky. My last car got totaled by severe hail, I'd only paid maybe 30% of it off by that point, but it turned out the value of my vehicle went mostly unchanged, possibly even raised slightly, and insurance paid out the full value of the car. I actually came out ahead a couple thousand dollars, which I was able to then use for a down payment on my current car.
Don't worry you can move to Gotham where batman will cripple you rather than figuring out uc for it's citizens
That's why you get the gap insurance.
So... In that movie, I guess Superman appears without uan? Well, makes sense, why would he need chinese currency.
