That depends on how it's being done, but in the general way that comic book characters fly, it does. Regardless, my point stands that trying to explain in real world terms why a game rule works is generally a losing proposition.
No, it's like one of those fun fact things. Based on their body size, wing size weight, blah blah blah it is physically impossible for a hummingbird to fly.
and to answer the question of how they do it note my signature

There is nothing physically impossible in the flight of hummingbirds. If you think hummingbirds fly like other birds, then yes you would get impossible results. Fortunately hummingbirds don't use their wings like other birds, thus the calculations used to get to the impossible result are false.
If it defies gravity for man and humming birds to fly. What happens when you combine them.
IT'S MAD SCIENCE.

This is correct. Physicists were just going about it the wrong way originally. They didn't take into account that hummingbirds (and bees) do not only flap their wings up and down, but also rotate them in the process.
