      Yeah thing is Superman's humanity and unrelenting attempt to do good is what made him a hero not his powers. Without the heroic desire just to do good not to be seen as some Paragon or something like that we wind up with some version of Hyperion or Gladiator. Admittedly both of those characters are way weaker than Superman but still they like his heart

      Superman actually was always getting stronger his whole life since he was a kid, simply because his power comes from the sun, he has always been infinite, getting stronger everyday of his life he had been absorbing the sun's radiation. The more years he continues to absorb radiation for as long as his alive, he will get stronger infinitely. It's just the writers limit him.
      It's the concept of deriving your power from the sun it just means you're infinitely getting stronger.
      The reason he has alway been so powerful is because of that, constantly absorbing the sun's radiation.
      Superman has always been infinite. He's weakness is how the writers limit him when he is able to do anything. And I'm talking bout base Superman he is and always was too powerful.

    Superman is the one hero meant to be undefeatable. Sure, he has experienced temporary defeat, but ultimately, he will always come out on top. He represents the purist form of good in the universe. I don't mind that he is so powerful, because he has to be in order to stop the most powerful threats out there.
    I actually get annoyed when he gets damaged by something dumb or gets beaten around by other enemies that are infinitely weaker than the strongest enemies he has faced in the past and defeated. I mostly get annoyed at the lack of consistency that causes.

    I think his “new” power might just be an expansion on the idea of Tactile Telekinesis that Superboy (Connor Kent) has. It was implied in the John Byrne and Dan Jurgens runs that Kryptonians have a form of psychic power that allows them to use a form of telekinesis with physical touch. Idk if that’s what they’re going for, but it would make sense.

      @stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 Рік тому +22

      From what I've heard its not psychic but a solar energy powered warp of space-time. Warping the space around his body allows him to transport through space, thats how he flies and throws massive punches and can exist at superspeeds. He can release a blast of the absorbed light through his eyes (in my mind because the eyes are meant to capture light better than anything they project it better). And he has at all times a very thin area of warped space around him that shields him and his clothes at all time (in my mind also why he would wear such a tight suit). He extends that field around objects he touches to carry massive weights and all parts of the object so it doesn't snap, or to protect something else like a person he'd be flying from burning up. Im hoping too this is an expansion of these existing powers.

    I grew up in the 70's and 80's. During the Bronze age and Early copper age. The Superman of that era was ridiculously powerful, and oddly enough was my favorite version of the character (although I will admit that some of the...sillier tales from the Silver age do hold a bit of a special place for me.) That all being said, making him even MORE powerful than those years, or some of the things I have seen in the intervening years...well... to be honest my only issue with this (yes that pun was intended....ALL my puns are intended) is that I'm not certain that modern writers can really deal with that. I mean back in the 80's they had a very hard time finding villains and challenges to go up against such a powerful character who had multiple ongoing series running every month. At one point in the late 70's and early 80's he appeared in six or seven titles (depending on if he was in JLA) every month. That was a lot of stories to really keep fresh and interesting and took a lot of creativity to come up with new challenges for him. With this new version, that's going to be even harder and, frankly I'm not sure it's even possible. I realize that he isn't appearing in as many titles as he was back then, but even so...I mean would Mongul or Doomsday even be a challenge for him anymore? Will he still be vulnerable to Kryptonite or Magic? I feel like in giving him this power up they've bitten off more than they can chew.

    I like that Kal finally got a power boost. If they kept the lore intact, regarding him getting power from yellow sun radiation, it's only logical that over time, he would keep getting more powerful, and exhibit an increase in his powerset. He's stayed the same for so long, this change has been long overdue, imo. Now, they just need him to start to explore the larger universe. Discover different vistas, and encounter new friends/enemies. He can leave his son, Jon, to look after Earth. Having Kal experience character growth would do much to increase interest in him, again.

    It’s about time! He’s been de-powered so many times it’s ridiculous. The Sentry, Hyperion and others have gotten more powerful (even if they are Marvel). What has made him the OG is he has found a way to win even with exposed to his weaknesses; that’s what’s key. Just write better stories where even though he’s more powerful he still has to find a way to win when your enemy isn’t affected by what you can do and still keep your morals. That’s what’s tough and makes a great story.

    Superman has always been powerful, his always been limitless, he has always been a being physically stronger than most gods but now they just made it official that he is and was always a Limitless potential being as the whole concept of his power meaning and who he is in his name, "Super" in Superman. We've seen many times that he is infinite in strength and speed, so it's kinda not new, this is just an official confirmation that he is still the strongest superhero across comic book history as it originally should be.
    Love the new upgrade of course a being such as Superman couldn't remain the same forever by just getting hints of his infinite potential in prior comics or display of constantly nerfing this God level being. Now it's established. This god like being just gets stronger and stronger, infinitely. A Being stronger than most gods.
    I'm glad he still is the Clark Kent for Justice not murder.
    However we haven't yet seen all that he can do, he just scratched the surface.

Hence, I would like to see its return on the OG superman because I am not a fan of the underwear/over pants look. Superman is my favorite comic book character. Period. Hence, my desire to see in an outfit I like. That said, I do agree with you, sir/ma'am, that the OG suit is timeless. It is.

To say that he loses is contradicting what he stands for. Well deserved
