Corrected entry: Loads of people stand around the microwave emitter when it turns on and instantly vaporises all the water in the vicinity. Humans are something like 80% water - they would have perished as soon as the machine did its trick.

Corrected entry: Bill claims he's an avid Superman reader, yet a lot of what he says about the Man of Steel is twenty or more years out of date. Especially the part that Clark Kent is the 'fake' identity - the fact that it's the opposite is a major theme in modern stories.
Correction: But he was talking about the *original* Superman anyway; the original Superman that people from his generation would most remember, and was the most memorable setup.
Correction: If the microwaves were "aimed" (downward in the case of the movie) they would not affect the people standing nearby.
