    TvTropes - Reed Richards is Useless

    It's a pretty common plot hole in a lot of media, if you have someone super-powered in the real world then if you think about the ways they ought to be able to use their powers to solve real world problems, you will quickly find that your setting no longer resembles the real world very much at all. It also kind of trivializes real world problems and can be pretty tasteless. It's just something where you either have to suspend disbelief or reject the premise of super-powers in a real world setting entirely, which seems dumb since generally powers are metaphorical.
