Okay, so this page is bad, extremely bad. The P&A is more or less copy and paste of previous incarnation, and its formatted pretty badly. And iirc, it also uses feats from New 52 era of Supes (the black hole one).

In addition, it only appears in 5 issues, and only one or two issues actually delves into his character, and it's pretty much the same as his canon self. Nothing new or interesting, unlike something like the Strange Visitor. The whole file exists for the sole purpose of having tier 2 Superman. The AP and durability sections are pretty bad, and it's practically all guesswork.


Now I know this file won't get deleted despite how bad and unnecessary it is because it meets the criteria in one or another, and some other bs about how it's popular, and some other yada yada. Therefore, I think it should be revised heavily to focus more on its own abilities rather than copying and pasting it from his earlier selves.

We can use this thread to determine how to revise this crappy file although we should just delete it
 
This version of Superman mostly exists for people to make hypothetical fan theories about, and other wise most people like to assume it's the strongest version of Superman by far solely because he spend that much time in the sun. But the actual feats demonstrated are actually quite lackluster compared to other Supermen. Upscaling him from past periods of himself makes sense on paper but still seems conflicted in execution.
 
Agreed. If this file is to be kept, imo it should only scale to his own feats. I am personally for its deletion because it's unnecessary, but I think others would want to keep it due to popularity stuff
 
We've had it at tier 4 for years, so I don't think it really exist to have a tier 2 Sup.

Neutral otherwise.
 
Its probably better to define the sins that killed SMPOM. If they're Low 2-C or whatever just change him to there.

For the character its like.... I dunno he barely fits the minimum probably for what is allowed. The P&A section I don't know how to fix however since he's just be them +1.
 
Idk if we scale from those, but will see.

in any case, I think we can fix his P&A problem by just linking his other files? I mean both are terrible options, but at least the abilities won't be repeated multiple times

Just link them and then list the powers he gets from the Lantern Ring.
 
you sure we can't just nuke it? pls

I will probably start reading through his stuff next week if we decide to keep it.
 
Not sure who to ping, I know Matt isn't really someone who participates on major content revision threads anymore; especially ones regarding verses where he tends to get heated. Perhaps Zark or Amelia?
 
Didn't one of the sins threaten to destroy the multiverse by trembling their eyelid? And didn't they completely whoop one million's ass after ganging him up?
 
What do we do here then? The character obviously isn't relevant enough for a page, and the p&a is some of the worst i have seen. It's just all over the place.
 
@Amelia_Lonelyheart I heard was going to try to help out with Marvel/DC stuff while Zark is busy dealing with RL stuff I heard.

As for other people who need contacting, I know @Antvasima is the one who usually gathers the list of active DC experts minus ones who already commented; Confluctor, Firestorm, and Qawsed are already here, but who else?

Depend, how many times this version of Superman did appear in the comics and how much big was its role in those stories?
 
Looks like the "omnipotent" Superman Prime One Million is going the way of Elder God Demonbane.
 
I removed the page, along with all of the wiki links to it.
