So, Supes and the Sun-Eater

So, a guy told me that Supes was only hit by the shockwave of it and ran away...

So it's not really taking a supernova explosion and being okay, is it?

I'm not sure what the writer is trying to say there.

He has the EM hit Clark but the radiation doesn't even though radiation travel's at the speed of light just like EM.

The explosion is mentioned before the shockwave. Superman also detonated the bomb meant to destroy the Sun-Eater at point blank range. He took the explosion of 50 Super Novas, and was flying away from the remains of the entropy bomb that was spreading outwards.

At least that�s my interpretation. You�re going to hear different things depending on who you ask.

It�s not that surprising that Superman can take such an explosion and survive. He absorbed enough energy to vaporize half a Galaxy during the WWIII storyline. Survived the explosion of a Sun-Eater during the Time and Time again storyline, took two explosions that would have split the Earth, etc.

Are those scans of what I bolded and underlined in the Respect Thread?

That's a correct interpretation. The blast behind him was entropy.

All this while being weakned by red sunlight.

What about what it says in the lower right corner?

About the radiation that would incinerate him?

How is that him fleeing entropy?

I'm just asking because I'm arguing with someone about this issue.

The bomb used was an entropy bomb...and Superman was exposed to a lot of red sunlight while this happened.

I agree with this post, the situation makes no sense at all, as a magnetic pulse would hit superman at the same time as the Radiation.IMO The Entropy bomb wouldn't actually have any energy but would breakdown the order inside the Sun eater preventing it from containing the energies contained within it. Thats what Entropy is, the breakdown of order into chaos. If it just released enourmous amounst of energy, (Like a traditional explosion), it wouldn't be called an Entropy Bomb.

Also wouldn't the Radiation have just made him stronger in the long run like the Mahggedon situation did ?

IMO if writers are going to be pseudo scientific they should get the science right ! wink

Only certain types of radiaton can power him up.

Red sun radiation has the exact opposite effect of yellow sun radiaton on Superman.

Why ?

Yellow sunlight is only a slightly more energetic version of red light ? It makes no sense.
