I think Hercules pulled the Island of Manhattan with a chain in a Marvel team-up book once.

Many contenders, here's one that comes to mind.
From FLASH #263....
Flash uses his unique cosmic treadmill for time-travel-- and a simple adjustment renders it ideal for exercise!
Uh-huh. Very practical, our Barry.
We find this out, I might add, because Barry's response to a) being called a has-been by a bitchy newswoman and b) having his wife leave him is to jump on the treadmill. Clearly there is no better way to prove one's manhood than by, uh, running in place for 26 trillion miles. He actually thinks how he just ran the equivalent of over 4 light years from Earth to Alpha-Centauri while pondering a) and b) which almost makes it worse. Talk about getting nowhere fast...

Contender #2...Wolverine survives being ripped in half....although the art was kinda cool (would've been great if not for Hulk's shitty haircut)  |

May not satisfy the intent of "in a comic," but no one would argue it isn't DUMB.

Pretty much any time Stan Lee tried to have characters using science.

Probably the first time the FF meet the Skrulls in Fantastic Four #2. I chuckle every time I read it; an advanced alien race being fooled by illustrations of fictional monsters. Gotta love it.

The Iron Man nose mask has to be up there... especially if you combine it with the rocket powered Roller Skates.

I wonder if anyone still pays $45 for that? I found it on-line in less than a couple minutes. For some of our customers who want to show off feats of strength like tearing a telephone book in half. By the way, if Charles entered a modern day pro-bodybuilding contest like Mr. Olympia, he'd come in closer to last place with that build. Although guys with oversized-muscles are not my kinda thing  |

Uh, what else?
Probably in John Byrne's Wonder Woman, where Di was recounting at a lecture a long ago encounter with a necromancer who was controlling or drawing power from the world's dead, and Cassie Sandsmark's mom stops her right at that second to loudly inquire if that meant her mother 'was under that thing's power.' Didn't take me out of the story so much as rip me out with fingernails.
