Yeah, since he was weakened in both scenarios, it should work.

Yeah, it should probably be added to Superman and Doomsday's profiles.Also if this goes through should we add OP's blog as a note on the relevant profiles?
Didn’t Alfred also design the gauntlet for this kinda shit? I disagree completely with the op.This is talking about humans touching and moving light around. A normal human can interact with light by reflecting it or blocking it, like you are doing right now. Batman simply used a gauntlet and blocked it, wtf do you think actual light should do? Phase through solid objects?
yeeeeeeeeaaaaaah...You need contradictions of it being light, it being stated to be light by a reliable source is already enough. Its not the weakest, thats very strong evidence because its literally just saying that its light
Firstly, funnily enough, none of the sources cited in the part of the Wikipedia article you linked ever mention heat, or radiation; and they barely mention light — those sources only discuss the utilization of solar energy as solar power, making that Wikipedia description moot. Secondly, you are also neglecting the various sources linked (and cited) in the blog that explains, in-depth, just what solar energy is and what it is made of.Blasts of solar energy which are also light. Not contradictory to anything. Solar energy is mostly light anyways
Light is considered energy because it is made up of photons, which are very minute packets of energy produced when matter is heated up. On the contrary, solar energy is the result of nuclear fusion, generated when hydrogen nuclei fuse to become helium atoms under the Sun's extraordinarily extreme pressure and high temperatures. One is pure, sharp, and comprised of photons, and one is volatile, scorching and firey, and the excess energy of matter lost during fusion.This article that you linked explaining solar energy just mentions it being energy, it doesn't contradict it being light, since light is also energy.
The process that human use to convert radiation into energy and the process that Clark's cells use to convert radiation into energy were never stated to be the same. The analogy was used because it was simpler to understand that way ;3You used human technology as an example and said that they convert light into other forms of energy with their tech, therefore Clark does the same. But this is never stated to be the case for Superman, since it is still stated to be light
Supernatural light is still light
Refer to these images.Once again, it being unrealistic doesn't contradict it being light.
You would need significantly more evidence than, "but it says 'light' right here [once]," to prove that an unnatural and unique type of "light" would still qualify for lightspeed.Its just light, except with new things added to it, like more power and all that
The rest of the arguments are not, "It doesn't look like light"; the rest of the arguments are, "It looks and acts like fire rather than light".The rest of the arguments are just "it doesn't look like light" like as if you can tell by looking.
.It would just mean its both fire and light anyways
The Heat Vision is the fire.If the light is powerful enough, it can simply make explosions like that and start fires
again?Kryptonian Heat Vision distinctly explodes and bursts into flames upon making contact with other matter, showering the target in scorching hot fire, with several examples pictured below.
Not nearly enough to blow two, large human beings away.Light can emit kinetic energy too
Normal humans cannot resist light like Bruce did. That is interaction. He was blatantly blocking the lasers and actively trying to maintain his footing under the weight of the attack. The same goes for Victor; although, he is literally a cyborg, so is he considered supernatural?Batman simply used a gauntlet and blocked it
Bruce mentioned that the Mother Boxes would "boost" Clark, due to his cells' ability to absorb energy. Whether or not this references an overall jolt in energy or simply a wake-up shock to bring him back to life is up to interpretation, but the former claim makes the most sense considering how he curbstomped the Justice League, including Diana.he was buffed by JL, which would only effect him
Bruce is not a normal human though, so that kinda falls flat.Normal humans cannot resist light like Bruce did. That is interaction. He was blatantly blocking the lasers and actively trying to maintain his footing under the weight of the attack. The same goes for Victor; although, he is literally a cyborg, so is he considered supernatural?
Bruce Wayne, the infamous superhero without superpowers, blocked his Heat Vision.
But is still a normal, flesh and blood, completely tangible, and completely unsupernatural human.
Being Tier 9 does not suddenly mean you are a supernatural entity beyond comprehension. Superhuman or human, he is still a human — born to two humans and trained as a human. In the context of DC, Bruce Wayne is just in his peak physical condition.
Clearly the latterBruce mentioned that the Mother Boxes would "boost" Clark, due to his cells' ability to absorb energy. Whether or not this references an overall jolt in energy or simply a wake-up shock to bring him back to life is up to interpretation, but the former claim makes the most sense considering how he curbstomped the Justice League, including Diana.
He’s also not fully recovered fromIn 55 seconds, Clark carried Doomsday up into the sky and into outer space. Assuming he flew past the exosphere, this feat would be Massively Hypersonic (181416.96 m/s; Mach 528); although, he was struggling with Doomsday during that period as well, so he was definitely hampered.
There’s also Wonder Woman reacting to ares lighting and Superman’s first flight and his revival flight sceneHH+ isn't too bad, but yeah, better to have more solid feats.
Superman was punching Doomsday into space in a short amount of time, something like that should be in the MHS ranges. Superman's flight speed is stated to be the same as his regular speed, so MHS should scale normally from him.
When was this ?But then again, downgrading his HV to be slower than his flight speed makes no sense, as it was literally shown to be way faster than his own normal reaction speed
“Massively Hypersonic+, Higher Attack Speed with Heat Vision” works then.But then again, downgrading his HV to be slower than his flight speed makes no sense, as it was literally shown to be way faster than his own normal reaction speed
Yeah, seems unnecessary.Tbh heat vision doesn’t need to be higher necessarily, we see that people clearly react to it
Do keep in mind he explicitly said he didn't know how to explain actual energy as a concept, even then, what's the point of this whole thread being made?Read through the blog twice and most of it only exists to take up space as if more words = more convincing.
HV being more unusual means absolutely nothing. OP just waffles on about nothing all to conclude with HV not coming from a realistic source ........ its red beams from the eyes of an alien ....... being an unrealistic source was never in question.
It being called light is the most basic requirement any potential laser feat has. All this line does is bring HV to the table to be considered lightspeed. As for the rest of this section, more words that don't actually support the OP's stance.
the excerpt also explicitly mentions that Clark "[channels] the energy in his cells" into this "beam of red light", meaning, rather than actually unleashing rays of blistering light, he is simply unleashing blasts of solar energy from his eyes.
Do you ... know how light bulbs and/or torches work? Nothing too specific, just the general overview of how electricity from some source like the grid or a battery is used to produce light? Its the exact same shit as the excerpt which, even if Clark is firing energy from his eyes, light is still energy so this entire section means nothing. Clark's cells are batteries while his eyes are stupidly powerful laser emitters, it ain't that difficult. And lets not forget that Clark firing radiation/lightspeed energy from his eyes is anything new when he just happened to develop X-ray vision right before he lasered the doorknob.
The total control stuff all to once again say its unrealistic. They are lasers. From. His. Eyes. It is not, nor will it ever be a realistic source for lasers. Its why its called a superpower. You literally went on some tangent about how since humans can only perform something similar with machines, it discredits the fact that an alien can do it.
"Gentle beam" ... once again, the OP is just typing words for the sake of it. None of this stuff matters at all for the point he is trying to make and the point he does make isn't even good.
On top of that, the excerpt points out the fact that Clark can slice through sheets of metal with his Heat Vision, but he can also slice through the metal lining Kryptonian spacecrafts[2], entire I-beams[2], machine gun turrets[4], Kryptonian armor[2], and police cars[3] with ease, and reach a temperature of at least 5,500°C[13] without even being at his strongest; in the Snyder Cut, the aforementioned spacecraft metal could withstand temperatures of 3,500,000 K[14].
Honest to god, what point are you trying to make here exactly? Did you somehow think that his HV would just fail to work on a bunch of other metal or materials that have no reason to survive it? Onto the actual point he made, who cares if Supes' lasers are hotter than what we can achieve rn? Why does that stop it from being lightspeed?
Oh, and just to hammer the point home, "blast of energy"
Light is still energy.
All in all, that one excerpt that describes his Heat Vision as a "beam of red light" is completely stomped out by the multiple other excerpts, along with other canonical sources, that all refute that idea.
Nothing so far actually refutes it being light when the arguments can be boiled down to
HV is just fire is actually the best argument in the blog but still wrong. Lasers are hot and Supes' HV even more so as the OP likes to point out. Anyone care to explain why it isn't just superheating and burning the air around it? Just look at Cyborg reflecting it. We can very clearly see that there are two solid, red-orange-white lines (the laser) surrounded by flickering orange-red air that distorts our view of objects through it much like a heat shimmer/haze. Said haze (in the event someone tries to argue with it being orange-red) is simply being colored that shade by the color of the laser. If Kryptonian eyes were actually biological flamethrowers like the OP seems to think, said flames wouldn't have been stopped by Diana's bracelets, they wouldn't reflect off of Cyborg's shield in a straight line, they wouldn't stop at the I-beam instead of flowing around it etc. Even the comic page goes against it being fire as not only would the flames be caught in the wind, preventing it from travelling in a straight line.
- The house is stated to have a hot tub 5 times and stated to have a jacuzzi once so the hot tub can't be a jacuzzi and
- The batteries in the OP's torch contains light because heaven's forbid energy changes from one form to another.
Cyborg being knocked back isn't an anti feat as his shield is clearly reflective and, when one considers the sheer power behind the HV, is easily chalked up to the situation being like a solar sail or Crookes Radiometer. The alternative is that Cyborg can randomly reflect fire for no reason.
Tldr, OP clearly made their blog with a set conclusion in mind that is poorly supported and purposefully ignore common sense (like thinking light and energy are mutually exclusive) or are likely uninformed (light being able to physically affect reflective object) to push their point without even paying attention to the actual content of their evidence (lasers burning the air/causing mirages). Everything brought up either has no bearing on whether or not HV is a laser, or is easily explained by the fact it is a laser, something that the blog fails to provide an alternative for that isn't contradicted by the very scans he uses to argue it is the case.
Unfortunately, though, it does not come from a realistic source, it does not diffuse like real light does. So it meets two criteria while simultaneously failing two.Good thing it meets the reflection and called light criteria.
...... yesThe **** did you want me to say; "the quantitative property that must be transferred to a body or physical system to perform work on the body, or to heat it"?
Literally no. You understand that lasers have been accepted as lightspeed with only two criteria, yes? The fact that they only meet two criteria means it has to fail the others by default or else they would meet them and fulfil more than two.Unfortunately, though, it does not come from a realistic source, it does not diffuse like real light does. So it meets two criteria while simultaneously failing two.
Peculiar, no?
Aye! Let's take a chill pill, Null.
I agree with the thread.
OP seems reasonable.
So far it looks like we’re scrapping lightspeed Heat Vision and going down to MHS+As someone who has seen many threads for this, I agree that this does not qualify as lightspeed.
@Matthew_Schroeder @Eficiente @Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan @Ssr4vegito @M3X @KingEzranThis thread still needs more inputs, especially the ones that are mostly knowledgeable in the DCEU, people just gave out valid explanations on why they disagreed with it and why it could be false
Not coming from a realistic light source is not a disqualifier. Lots of lasers in fiction exist not generated by actual pieces of technology.Unfortunately, though, it does not come from a realistic source, it does not diffuse like real light does. So it meets two criteria while simultaneously failing two.
Peculiar, no?
