Yes, it does hurt when you get hit, but boxing gloves are more to protect
the hands of the boxer than the target.  Otherwise, what's the point of
pounding someone senseless?

I'd just like to point out, while trying to make a system reflect the real
world is a good thing, there comes a point where it bogs down so much you
lose the feel of the milieu (Look!  I didn't use the word genere!!) which
you are trying to evoke.

Yes, there will be some normal schmoes out there who will seem wimpy using
the system, but its designed to be low-powered comic style heroics, where
people are that way.  Thus, don't expect everyone to want to apply real
world physics when they're wanting to play a Golden Age 4 color setting
with a bit of modern paranoia and conspiracy for flavor.
