This is an old rumour I'm hoping some Superman expert can help with... I heard somewhere once that there was an old Superman story where he tries to punch Luthor, Luthor dodges, and Superman's fist swings right back up and punches Supe's own face. End result Superman knocks himself out.
The explanation was that Superman was so powerful that writers had to come up with more and more ridiculous ways for people like Luthor to be able to challenge him.
I don't know what decade it was supposed to be from. Is there any truth to this story at all?
Actually back in the PC days, Luthor had his own "super power", which was basically taking normal technology and turning it into super cosmic science devices. That's why he was so dangerous.
Yes, also I remember thinking a) how the hell did Luthor dodge, and b) if Superman was hitting hard enough to knock himself out, what was he trying to do? Turn Luthor's head into tomato paste?
I really don't know where it came from, I just heard it when I was a kid and it stuck in my mind for its sheer stupidity.
lol normal people? nothing normal about luthor or batman as characters s no one in reality will ever be able to leap like batman and be as deadly and nor will anyone be ridiculously smart like luthor... that's why superman "can" be taken down by these guys because they are not normal at all. plus he has beaten guys many times more powerful than himself, the door swing both ways on that one
Maybe Luthor trap Supes inside a room made out of rubber and POW! It happen...

supermans TK ability allows him to make other objects invulnerable like his suit or in the Superman movies case a football plaine or what ever he might be using exponential(sp?) force on.
LOL, only thing close to this has been when jimmy knocked Superman, and when Muhamed Ali beat Superman. Both pre-crisis, both ages ago. But nothign to this extent, knokicng HIMSELF out? lol.
