Superman (Post-Crisis); Varied Mechanism

[Confluctor]

Superman (Post-Crisis)

Superman is one of the most powerful beings on Earth and its greatest hero. Born to the illustrious House of El, Kal-El is one of the last surviving members of his race as his planet was destroyed not long after his birth. He was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent in Smallville...

Since the other thread ended, I thought I would make this.

Essentially, Superman can mentally control his power levels, which adds more to his holding back mechanism. Realistically speaking, Superman's durability shouldn't go down from 4B to 5A, but it does. The reason is quite simple; Superman's power depends on his mental control over them. His mind is required for his powers to operate at a certain level. Darkseid explains it best after studying and planning to defeat him for a long time. The source for this is Action Comics Vol 1 586.

To further add to this, in the same issue, he was struggling to lift certain weights because he thought he was so weak. When Darkseid comes in and """unlocks"" his mind, he is suddenly strong enough to fight Orion.

His new AP would look like this;

Varies up to 5-A normally, up to 4-B at peak

Edit: This will also grant him Self-Statistics Amplifications and Self-Statistics Reduction

Makes sense.

I knew Superman had a proper "Varies" mechanism in the canon Post-Crisis timeline.

Sad it doesn't depend on his "bio-electric aura" thingy he had in All-Star Superman, but this is still damn good. I accept.

seems fine

 

[Armorchompy]

I'm not fully sure about this being considered a varies though the mechanism is legit, but if his standard power level is lower than 4-B it does make sense to list it

I added another thing.

And some more context.

We already grant varied for this sort of stuff for other characters. Like Sentry and Captain Atom has a similar mechanism. Their's a bit more broken and effed up, but still similar.

 

[Armorchompy]

fair

 

[PsychoWarper]

Makes sense

 

[Antvasima]

This seems to make sense to me as well.

Would many other DC Comics characters need to have their statistics changed to 5-A based on this?

 

[Confluctor]

No, not anything like that atm. Although this could be scalable to other Krytopnian, so possibly Supergirl and Power Girl could get affected by this.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I thought that some other character such as Aquaman were given 4-B ratings from scaling to Superman.

 

[Confluctor]

Don't think so. Tho either way, that part was already changed when he was given 5-A rating. A lot scale to is 5A now instead of 4B.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. That is good. Never mind then.

 

[LordTracer]

Yeah, seems fine.

 

[Confluctor]

Fine to apply, I assume?

 

[Antvasima]

I think so, yes.

 

[Confluctor]

Would you mind opening Superman (Post-Crisis) then?

 

[Antvasima]

No, not at all. I will open the page. Tell me here when you are done.

 

[Confluctor]

Done, can be locked again

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for helping out.

Should we close this thread as well then?

 

[Confluctor]

Yeah it's all done, so will close it.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
