Respect Harvey Dent - Superman in the Tangent Universe.

Extremely Powerful and Intelligent.

This thread is for building and spreading the knowledge of SuperMAN.

http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/8062/00covertk8.th.jpg

Harvey has the powers of Super Intelligence (a centuries worth of knowledge an HOUR), Pyrokinesis, Telekinesis, ESP, and Flight for beginners.

http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/6643/10ln0.th.jpg

He uses his powers to solve problems. Unlike our standard Superman, he didn't perform good deeds to simply be helpful...he did this out of boredom. He enjoyed the challenge and mental stimulation of solving others problems and defeating villains alike.

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1377/11of4.th.jpg

http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5752/12jj4.th.jpg

Superman telekinetically grants himself whatever powers he needs to defeat his enemies.

http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8324/13fn0.th.jpg

Superman generates TK shields.

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5485/16yl7.th.jpg

Even the best Machines and encrypted data are not safe from his telepathy.

http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9052/17ww0.th.jpg

Thanks to his super-genius level intellect, Superman can recreate with absolute certainty an army of beings like himself. Here he offers his powers to his wife. The original formula killed an entire town and he was it's only survivor.

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3674/21bo9.th.jpghttp://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3192/22xt3.th.jpghttp://img267.imageshack.us/img267/1646/23oh6.th.jpg

Here a powerful threat called the Ultra Humanite blacks out the entire world. Dent isn't concerned in the least bit and simply wills his power to come back on...just so he can have a convo with his wife.

He even knows it's location just by "feeling" it.

Harvey keeps the city powered under his own power (as per last scan.)

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2263/tangentjla10zt7.th.jpg

Easily dispatches a super powered ninja assassin. Her sneak attack doesn't even begin to phase him.

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/255/tangentjla11kj9.th.jpg

And then embarrasses her further by simply turning her powers off. He then mindrapes her.

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6965/tangentjla14sq8.th.jpg

"I command anything I desire."

He's definitely nothing like Clark.

Superman meets The Batman. This is a magical creature cursed by Merlin's magic. Even through magic, Superman is able to read Bats although he admits that it's not easy.

Impressive nonetheless.

Interesting.

so....superMAN rapes superman....hmm...HAHA superman sucks, captain tights and yellow sun man.

He is cool. I like him. Easily one of my new favorites. And the best part, He exist in the main DCU now as of IC. I wonder what his new name is.

Wow,

this cat is no joke.

Nice.

can you give a/some link(s)?

Give us more!!!
Nice thread btw.

Props.

Apparently..It's not easy to hide from the Man of Tomorrow. Here he finds the orchestrator's of a major event.... even through their holograms...not only disrupting the hologram on their end(and they were in a different part of the country)...but reading their minds and knowing their plans in detail.

http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/8306/tangentjla21op7.th.jpg

Here is a small cameo he made in Infinite crisis after Alexander Luthor claims "Everything comes from Superman."

http://img312.imageshack.us/img312/8407/scan00252mw.th.jpg

Out of the MANY MANY versions of Superman they could have picked from...this is pretty much an honor.

OH SHIT HE'S BLACK TOO!!! score! Sorry Steel but your ship has sailed. any morescans?

He was supposed to make an appearance in ION #10 as per this cover...

http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/2121/59674076ph4.th.jpg

Superman becomes part of the JLA who are equipped with some other powerful characters. For example...WW who can erase beings from existence. Batman, the undead knight cursed by Merlin. Atom, who can play with molecular density in himself as well as other beings, and Green Lantern, who can bring the dead to life to fulfill their desires.

http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/996/tangentjla22vv6.th.jpg

Even then...he sees this as a way to relieve boredom.

Another incarnation of superman that surpasses the original.

Anyone know if Tangent Superman suffered any "long term" effects, when Alex Luthor tampered with the cosmos during IC?

He's the ruler of his Earth.

Some awesome stuff.

http://www.wizarduniverse.com/032008tangent.html





Awesome stuff. Sounds like we'll really be able to judge SuperMAN's level of power soon. If he's far and away the most powerful "hero" that world knows (Earth 9) then that's saying quite a bit considering they have a Wonder Woman who can erase people from existence.

damn i havent seen dude in a while...thought he fell off the face of the world....i hope with the new tangent line out now they dont try to reimagine him and shit and **** up his character

Liking one character over another simply based on skin color reeks of racism.

Its not just skin colour they have to be good characters as well. Theres nothing wrong with liking a character because of their colour if they are written well, especillay since there are more white superheroes.

I dont think I would like a black character more than a white character because hes simply black but it would be a contributing factor to me liking him.

Exactly. He seems even unaware of his racism (or rather reverse racism). But I'll leave it be, since this is a respect thread and we shouldn't ruin it.

Well if you think that being pleased with a good character being black is an examples of racsim then fine.

There are not that many in my opinion it makes me happy when I see one.

I however would not apply this to the real world, this is fiction.

..its no tracism, black people like black heroes and other black people as role models, because if yo ucan relate to a character more you'll geenrally like them more...I can relate to a black person better than I ca nrelate to a white person beings that I'm black, but that doesnt mean I think one is better than the other.

I mean why do you think for the first couple of years all the super heroes were white? cause they were trying to seel them to a generally white audience in america pretty much.

Do we need to start reporting people for them to stop spamming a RESPECT thread?

Reverse racism doesn't exit. It's just euphemism for racism. It's the same thing.

How would you rank in a list of all the Superman alternates that have been? He'd probably be near the top. Of course versions like PC Supes, Composite Supes, Kismet Supes, Supes 1M, etc. would still be over him, more than likely.

with a green lantern ring though he should be more powerful thatn prime right?

Tough to say, but Harvey is definitely a top contender in the "toughest Superman" category.

Prime is supposed to be a whole different ballgame though.

Great to see "Powergirl" back too as she's supposed to be pretty powerful (as the name implies) herself.

I hear theres a limit to how much power you can have with a GL ring? So it might not be that helpful.

SBP owned multiple GL's and Ion.

Maybe we should open a SuperMAN discussion thread separately.
I want to keep this one intact as a respect thread, and I'm sure Galan (who has contributed greatly) would feel the same.

Both can fly . . .


Also I'm not sure if this has come up but I would like to make a brief analysis of TANGENT and their Superman.

The most basic aspect of TANGENT is that it's technologically progressive but socially regressive. Both are meant to miss the 1990s by a great margin. How socially regressive are we talking? Jurgens himself noted that in the scripting for TANGENT they hadn't reached many of the social upheavals of the 1960s. So if society is about thirty years behind we can assume in 1973 they might still have been in something like the great depression.

Why is that important? Well there happens to be a famous, bald, telepathic, world conquering, depression era, DC superhero, that gained his powers from experimentation by a less than ethical scientist. That would be the original Superman from Reign of the Super-Man. Want more proof, in TANGET Superman Millar notes that pictures show Prof Chill was an old man in 1933 (the era of our great depression).

Anyway that's just my little, uh, tangent.

tangeant superman is the shit

WOW!!!

That's probably what's going to happen, I don't see Tangent killing Supes. But I like how he's like Superman taken to the next level. No longer is he just stopping bad guys he's actually something of a god, bringing a measure of peace and prosperity to all humans.

Superman looks like an anime character in that top right-hand panel.

Harvey is the bad guy and lead character but if you take what super heroes like Supes do to the next logical step, you know they should have a stronger hand in world politics.

Tangent Supes is cool because his character is compelling, you want him to win more than most "villains" because he's decided to stop the bs there's a downside to his dictatorship but there was also a down side to free governments before he took over Earth 9. The lesser evil and all that.

Anybody see a little Tony Stark in this guy. Just a tinge?

Turns out Harvey didn't just get the White house. He got ALL the capitals around the globe.

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/4682/tangentsupermansreignlixs2.th.jpg

Harvey has all the world leaders captive and gives them the ability to speak to each other.

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/4391/tangentsupermansreignqr2.th.jpg

SuperMAN (Harvey) blocks Superman's (Clark) telescopic vision. He also shows impressive skill using technopathy to independently operate a few fighter jets simultaneously.

She reluctantly agrees to join the fight against Harvey. Interesting tidbit is she claims the power to erase people from existence... kinda like Harvey did with the Joker.

It turns out that the Ultra-Humanite wasn't destroyed. Instead, Harvey apparently imprisoned it after their battle..

That said, Harvey has now reawakened Ultra-Hmanite and placed a 'psychic governor' on the creature, which seemingly enables him to control it:
