Superman getting a power boost

I was just curious are DC going to boost up his power i mean nowadays people are claiming supergirl is stronger than him and i just dont like that idea, no i am not against strong female characters i just like the idea of superman at least being better than most superheros i know certain scenarios have been set where it could be wildly known as fact that she is stronger then him ijust think its time something boosted his power.

Just keep reading Infinite Crisis.

They'll find a way to give Supes his mojo back.

Same with Darkseid.

They're gonna be the main players in the comic world once again. smile

What do we mean by "mojo" exactly?

Were not talking "pre-crisis type mojo" are we?

God I hope they dont do that....

Ok what the hell is pre-crisis? Im tired of people refering to it an me not knowing what it is. Is the crisis when his powers changed an his suit changed?

For a long time, DC comics had two different, parallel streams of continuity. Two entire seperate worlds, each with all the DC characters, but different pasts and stories.
This was majorly confusing to read, and eventually the "crisis" was written, in which the two worlds combined. Im not sure on what exactly happened during the crisis, but the outcome was that the characters and backstories of both worlds combined.
One effect of this was that Supermans powers were finally limited to a more sensible amount.

By the way, this crisis is not the same as Identity Crisis, or Infinite Crisis (although there are many similarities between it and Infinite)

Thats pretty much all I know about it, hope it helps smile

I personally want to see supes regain his precrisis power levels. It will make a nice change after having him depowered for a year

See saying Post-Crisis Superman is "depowered" isn't the word I would use. More logically and reasonably powered is the better way to put it. Pre-Crisis Superman was ridiculous. Too ridiculous to believe.

I'll be pretty (VERY) annoyed if they take him back to Pre-Crisis levels.

People talk about Precrisis and get confused - He was not inconsistant or ridiculous for the early eighties for the most part, however he had some plus powers like the ability to move through space and time. I'd like to see these back!

I'm a big fan of Supes but doesnt it get old when the good guy always wins? I mean when you are as power full as "the almight Superman" who needs a power boost? Personally, I'd like to see Supes get his arsk kick every once in a while!

I agree with Fender. And I don't want Supes' time traveling abilities to make a comeback.

There's a difference between getting his PC power back and getting his ludicrous PC style stories back. There's characters in comics more powerful than Superman and they have wonderful stories.

Don't get me wrong, I love the superman story line but I also think that the other characters should be all powerful and more powerful than superman. If Supes could just walk through all the competition without getting a scratch, there wouldn't be a need for a comic book or any other stories. They could just make posters that said "Superman is the ULTIMATE superhero and can't EVER be beaten. ever. period. the end."

Superman does have villains who can stand up to him, if he becomes as powerful as PC supes, they'd need him fighting low heralds and such to keep the competition good

Well, guess a little more power wouldn't be that bad as long as his villains also got a little more powerful. Superman is probably one of the most hard arsk superheros ever thought up but the classic "Underdog" story is still popular in my book.

(Underdog story meaning the less powerful guy kickin really powerful guy's tail) yes yes

Eh, I really don't think supes should get a power boost. I, myself, have never read a pre-crisis story, but ((The Anomaly)) has made it pretty clear that I don't want to. Seriously, how much has it been said that Supes can lift? Like, somewhere around 8 billion pounds (I think I saw that in Wizard, I'll have to look it back up). Honestly, who need to be THAT strong? I myself prefer the underdog type storyline like Fender mentioned above. That's why I'm such a big Spider-Man fan. He actually has to WORK to beat his bad guys. Hell, sometimes he's even beaten. But he always comes back to kick ass and take names.

Yea, unless your an over the top fanboy who jerks off to the fact that "supr4m4n is teh 1337!!11 pwn3r supr4m4n tis pwning teh 5qu33b5 liek n00bs!!!111 z0MG!!!111 LOLzz!!! supr4m4n 15 2 1337 teh g3t roxxorz by 4ny0n3!!!!11"

Then you dont wanna read Pre-Crisis Superman stories. They're just ridiculous.
