Plot Induced Stupidity, or
PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills
to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser
powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics.
Examples of
PIS include Flash stories lasting longer than three panels, or Toy Man as a threat to Superman. Standard
CBR fights
exempt the contestants from PIS unless otherwise specified.
