MAD League upset with hero for defying laws of physics
Miracle and Rodriguez are the founding and only members of the Momentum Anti-Defamation League. MAD League, whose sole purpose is to conserve momentum, also claims that "in order for Superman to fly, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. That is, he cannot fly forward without propelling something backwards."
The two physics students have a long-standing grudge with many superheroes, but they see Superman as the "original momentum violator."
[...]
Consequently, the Linear Momentum Anti-Defamation League and the Angular Momentum Anti-Defamation League merged into MAD League when Superman made the two major physical violations of flying and spinning the earth backwards.

"If Superman can see X-rays, where do they come from?" asked Rodriguez. "You need an X-ray source on the other side of your subject."
Miracle said "Kryponite, a Krypton-Oxygen pseudo-crystal, would clearly not be solid at room temperature."
The two MAD members have speculated on how to nullify the powers of the man they consider to be the greatest terrorist toward our physical universe. They think that since Superman's powers depend on the color of the sun (Krypton's sun is red, while the Earth's sun is mostly yellow), it could mean his powers are frequency-dependant and possibly related to the photo-electric effect. The photo-electric effect was described by Einstein more than a hundred years ago.
Confident about whether the laws of physics will ultimately prevail over Superman, Rodriguez said "Steven Weinberg, physics Nobel Laureate at UT, would beat Superman any day."
