The Green Lantern section is bad
Okay so first off Superman. For some reason the P&A tabber assumes all versions of Superman have the same power set, despite early seasons of Superman not having abilities such as flight or Arctic breath. But no matter how bad that is, the GL section is just... wrong. So very, very wrong:
The P&A sections need to be divided more
Currently these are Superman's keys: Powerless | Season 1-3 | Season 4-5 | Season 6-10 | Full Power Unlocked-Season 11 | Green Lantern Ring
Superman doesn't gain flight until Season 11/Full Power unlocked, he doesn't gain super breath till Season 6, and a lot of his super senses don't become things till later seasons. My suggestion is as follows
Since this blog has been accepted the following changes should be applied
Also we should probably add a scan of S11 Supergirl to her page image
Okay so first off Superman. For some reason the P&A tabber assumes all versions of Superman have the same power set, despite early seasons of Superman not having abilities such as flight or Arctic breath. But no matter how bad that is, the GL section is just... wrong. So very, very wrong:
- Invisibility: Literally never shown
- Intangibility: Never shown or demonstrated
- Energy Constructs: Fine
- Willpower Manipulation: Fine
- Matter Manipulation: Never shown or demonstrated by any GL
- Limited Reality Warping and Time Manipulation: Both are bad, but at least the Reality Warping is vaguely justifiable since other GL's could teleport to the underlying structure of the universe to get the embody of willpower to help them out
- Forcefields and Automatic Shielding: Force fields are fine, automatic shields aren't stated but it sorta makes sense
- Illusions: Technically fine since the ring has shown this, but Superman has never used it
- Healing of himself and others: Literally never shown
- Can steal speed from others to increase his own: Wut
- Weather Manipulation: This is somehow even more of a reach than speed stealing
- Dwarf Star level (Is powered by a Green Lantern ring): This makes zero sense. The various lanterns are notably weaker than Superman by orders of magnitude and none of them besides a Parrallax amped John Stewart would scale to High 5-A. Freaking Batman defeated one. The only reason why the Yellow Lanterns were a threat (to use that word loosely) is that the Green Lantern ring has a crippling weakness to yellow. When Superman ditched his power ring he stomped everyone.
- Massively FTL+ (Green Lanterns can fly across the universe in a short period, comparable to Bart Allen in speed): The first part is correct, the second part however, is not. Not at all. Not only is that never, ever mentioned in the S11 comics, the GL ring does not amp Superman and it was previously established that Superman's top speed is Impulse's cruising speed

Superman doesn't gain flight until Season 11/Full Power unlocked, he doesn't gain super breath till Season 6, and a lot of his super senses don't become things till later seasons. My suggestion is as follows
- Powerless: Keep as is
- Season 1-3: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Super Hearing, Telescopic Vision, X-Ray Vision), Heat Vision, Regeneration (Mid-Low: Rapidly healed from burns and regenerated from eye damage), Immortality (Type 1. Was stated he would live forever by two different people with precognition). Resistances to Deconstruction (Withstood an ability, that easily turned others into dust), Electricity Manipulation (Withstood Jeremey's electricity and a lightning bolt), Heat Manipulation (Resisted Sean's heat drain which could freeze humans and fire), Telepathy (Ryan couldn't read his mind), Mind Manipulation (Bob Rickman couldn't influence Clark and neither could Chloe's truth powers), Biological Manipulation), Disease Manipulation (Was never sick until he lost his powers), and Fire Manipulation
- Season 4-5: All previous powers to a greater degree, Self-Sustenance (Type I and likely Type II), Resistances to Transmutation (Resisted Brendan's powers which turn people to wax), Disease Manipulation (Overcame the fear toxin without an antidote), and Paralysis Inducement (Resisted Geoff's powers which can paralyze people with a touch)
- Season 6-10: All previous powers to a greater degree, Super Breath, Freeze Breath, Regeneration (Low-Mid. Healed quickly from being stabbed through the chest), Enhanced Senses (Microscopic Vision).
- Full Power: All previous powers to a greater degree, flight, Enhanced Senses (Can see in multiple different spectrums such as Gamma, Ultra-Violet, and Infrared and can pick up heat signatures), Resistances to Ice Manipulation (Breaks free after being frozen), Existence Erasure (Resists Red Bleed which annihilates matter), Time Manipulation and Information Manipulation (Resisted Blue Bleed energy attempting to erase him from time and turn him into pure information)
- Green Lantern Ring: All previous powers, Energy Constructs, Willpower Manipulation, Forcefields and Automatic Shielding
Since this blog has been accepted the following changes should be applied
- MMH: No change, we just link the blog
- Supergirl/Zor-EL/Brainiac: MFTL+ flight speed
- Season 11 dudes: MFTL+ speeds get the blog link
Also we should probably add a scan of S11 Supergirl to her page image
