The superhero's brain is absolutely short-circuiting at the sight of that infinite sum equaling -1/12. It's like watching someone's reality crumble in real-time!

For the uninitiated, this is the infamous sum 1+2+3+4+... to infinity, which according to some advanced math techniques actually equals -1/12. It's the mathematical equivalent of dividing by zero while riding a unicycle on a tightrope—technically possible but will make your brain explode.

String theorists use this result with a straight face while the rest of us mere mortals are left questioning our entire education. Even superheroes have their limits, and apparently, it's analytical continuation of the Riemann zeta function.
