So I understand the admins have been swamped by Superman fans trying to get him to universal and multiversal but I did notice misinformation on the feats from the post Crisis page as well as the post Flashpoint page.
For one "Durability Negation (His heat vision works on a microscopic level)" is not an actual example of that. Superman didn't use his heat vision to lobotomize Manchester Black, he merely gave him a concussion. Superman literally admits to this at the end of the comic. I would send scans but for some reason I can't, so I'll just send the comic name: Action Comics Vol. 1 #775. This isn't to say Superman can't use his heat vision on s microscopic level but this Manchester battle certainly isn't proof of that.
Another thing, "Cancelled out True Form Darksied by singing with counter vibrations" for some odd reason it's not acknowledged that True Form Darkseid was weakened when Superman canceled him out with a scream. By this point Darkseid was literally already in the final stages of radion poisoning, which is acknowledged in scan, and also by this point Darksied had already claimed by the Black Racer. Literally TF Darkseid was on his last legs which is reflected in his design. Where as when TF Darkseid was orginally shown at the beginning of the event to be very large and clean, darkseid by the time Superman screams at him is small and looks dirty, reflecting his diminished state.
"(Can become intangible and turn invisible via phasing)" - do you mean via vibrating? Cause that's how he does it. He doesn't become invisible by becoming intangible clearly.
"Empathic Manipulation (Calmed a creature down with a touch)" - Not only does the scan show Superman talking to the animal, meaning he did it with more than a touch but furthermore there is no actual indication that Superman manipulated or control the creatures emotions. He literally just did the same thing animal tamers do throughout real life and fiction, calmly touches the creature and tells it to calm down. Literally no empathic manipulation is nessecary to even pull off this feat let alone shown. This is literally a basic depiction of animal taming.
"Astral Projection (He taught it to his wife Lois)" - The reason why that's there is because Superman hasn't astral projected and frankly due to that it shouldn't be there. If only Lois has astral projected of her own volition, than you can't attribute that to Superman when he has never showed it just because he knows the same martial art. That just doesn't actually make sense. Just because s teacher and a student know the same martial art doesn't mean the teacher can do everything the student can.
"Absorbed energy from an EM gum" - There is literally no indication in any of scans provided that Superman absorbed it. In fact it's literally shown that the energy is deflecting off him in the scans.
"Geothermal energy (Learned to leech power from the Earth around him)" - If I'm not mistaken, Superman has only done this in alternate futures and universes. I can't see the image cause it's on goggle content and missing, so I could be wrong on that.
" He is capable of covering biological energy into Solar Energy" - while there is no scan for this, it should be acknowledged that this is referring to Doctor Faulkner, then that was already acknowledged to be a form of solar energy at several points in the comic. He didn't convert it, he just absorbed it. I can cite this one if you need it
"Limited Space Time Manipulation (Capable of opening and closing holes in the fabric of space time)" - so is it gonna be acknowledged that this is done via static electricity and heat Vision not physicals? Cause that's how people are gonna assume it to be.
So, to summarize, no negativity, all love; there are various points at which there is misinformation on Superman's page for feats. Did anyone proof read these before adding them or investigate the claims? Cause these shouldn't have slipped past.
