Superman Revisions

He was normally portrayed as vulnerable to magic, so that is an outlier.
 
Should we have separate keys for Pre-Crisis Superman based on his age? He did start pretty early and was a teenager when he did the planet-pulling feat, so...
 
No, that seems unnecessary.
 
That's actually consistent. Post Crisis Superman has a few feats of using other power sources to recharge his powers.

JLA 42, He uses electricity to restore his powers.

Superman vol 1 658, in a possible future, he absorbs the heat of the center of the earth to slowly repower himself.

Superman vol 2 # 7, Superman absorbs the "bio energy" out of Rampage. It's stated to be both converted sunlight and some kind of radiation.

Post-Crisis Supes has it in his abilities tho.
 
Yes, we cannot scale between different continuities.

We already settled that, Ant.

Now we're just left with Post-Crisis Supes. These feats look legit for him.

I think we should change his Absorption description to this:

And is capable of converting any kind of energy into Solar Radiation
 
I don't think that he can absorb any kind of energy. Energy blasts have damaged him repeatedly. However, the types showcased above should be fine to mention.
 
Then that means he can absorb geothermal energy, electrical energy and biological energy (Things like a man's stamina and whatnot).
 
Just geothermal energy and electrical energy, I think.
 
Not all of them, just the ones that I stated to be accepted.
 
I didn't want to make a whole new CRT thread for PC Superman with this one already having so many people on it. So, I thought I just drop a possible hax to be added to his page.

From my understanding, this will be a Type 8 Immortality: Reliant Immortality in a way. Let me explain.

In Action Comic #554, Superman's destruction of the ancient temple, created by aliens in prehistoric times, creates a wave of energy which rippled throughout all time and changed the entire timeline's existence. Superman vanished and all he represented disappeared with him. The entire concept of Heroes never existed. Humans have no violent tendencies and are easily conquered by the aliens. In response, two children imagine a hero and call him Superman, thus creating the existence of the actual Superman coming into existence to defend them--and defeat the aliens.

Here are a few scans from the comic. I've been told that this isn't the first time Superman has been created into existence in this sort of Type 8 way. I'm still looking for the comic where it does happen again.
 
It does seem like reliant immortality, yes. He can return to life from people's belief in him.
 
I for Pre-Crisis but not yet, I would like to see more context; How much time does it took from his death to his recreation? It may not be applicable for combat, even if not adding the time it's useful.
 
@Eficiente

When I read the comic in general Superman's recreation didn't happen until both kids began to believe he is real. In the beginning of the comic, Superman travels back alongside Time Master and Rip Hunter Travel back to the moment the Universe was being formed. Afterward, he destroyed the ancient temple and boom the entire existence of Heroes was erased.

In regard to time for his recreation, it all depends on who believes in his existence similar to the two boys in the comic. When the boys began to believe Superman is real. Superman became real. So, I think to depend on the circumstances of the battle it could be applicable for combat. Example: The world views Superman getting erased, killed, whatever. People don't believe he is gone and Superman is recreated through the belief.


Oh, I also found a hax where Superman's x-ray vision gave him future sight. I'm trying to locate which Comic # it came from.
 
Could you make another album in imgur for his death to put that there?

I remember reading that comic, does he somewhere has Resistance to Transmutation there? He usually gets hit by everything and is unaffected by it. I can easily find instances of him being immune to poisonous gases.
 
The future sight is both precog and Clairvoyance btw.
 
Yea, I didn't see his profile have precog or clairvoyance so I thought it be a good addition. If you give me sometime later. I'll get the entire comic in an imgur album for you to read.
 
The Post-Crisis version was also brought up. Please read the entire thread.
 
Yes, but the newer abilities that have been mentioned are from Pre-Crisis era scans.

Like, for example, Clairvoyance, Precog and Type 8 Immortality is really not for Post-Crisis Supes since there's no evidence for him, but it's been mentioned for Pre-Crisis Supes.
 
Okay. I may misremember then.

What needs to be added to the Pre-Crisis page?
 
Are you absolutely sure that the absorption wasn't for post-Crisis Superman? Can you link to the feats again?
 
I'm not talking about Post-Crisis Supes tho. I'm talkng about Pre-Crisis Supes.

Post-Crisis Supes already has Absorption as part of his power set. We were just discussing on what type of absorption Pre-Crisis Supes possesses.

EDIT: NVM, It was Post-Crisis Supes.

This is what AerrowStorm1 posted.

Yes, I know, but I need to check that the scans for the feats are for the correct version of Superman.
 
The scans are in the links. You can check them.
 
Post-Crisis Supes gets:

Electricity Absorption (JLA #42, here and here)

Geothermal Energy Absorption (Superman #658, here)
 
Okay. Should I unlock the two Superman pages, so you can edit them?
 
Okay. Tell me here when you are done.
