Respect Classic Superman

Respect Classic Superman.

There are alternate Superman's like earth 1 and 2. I am not really sure and not everyone can decide but earth 2 Supes was the main one in

Action comics. I believe at a particular issue they swapped in continuity so I might very well stop at there.

But for now this is classic Superman from the very early says.

I will be doing it issue by issue so if you can let me do the scans, you can add things I have missed when I finish if you don't mind. Thanks.

(I am probably very very wrong about all that up there but I have very little knowledge of it so I will mostly do issues until he becomes too powerful)


Issue 1.

We find out his origins and it tells us his abilities and stats in a way.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...abilities/1.jpg

Here we see hes nimble and fast by running along phone wires and TV wires.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...isc/wires/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...isc/wires/2.jpg

Now we witness bullets bounce of him and see hes bullet proof.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...t%20proof/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...t%20proof/2.jpg

Here he easily outraces a car on foot.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...han%20car/1.jpg

Now here he rips of a steel door with no problem.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...el%20door/1.jpg

Here he easily lifts a car and we see the classic scene of him smashing the green car.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...gth%20car/1.jpg

Now finally we see Superman vs a wife beater. (*******) Guess who wins?

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...%20beater/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...%20beater/2.jpg


Issue 2.

First we see him survive and land on his feat after a big fall onto the sidewalk.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/.../sidewalk/1.jpg

With ease he throws a man far away easily. That's right classic kills. Supes pwns. laughing out loud

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/.../strength/1.jpg

Here he apparently is moving so fast he is moving almost to fast for the eye to see.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...peed/army/1.jpg

He catches up with a big boat and then decided to turn away.

Now we see him beating some gangstas by throwing them out the window.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/.../gangstas/1.jpg

Here he destroys an army plane, they shoot at him but he makes it crash and causes an explosion which he comes straight back from.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...hts/plane/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...hts/plane/2.jpg


Issue 3.

He easily and on purpose falls down a mining hole and survives.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...%203/fall/1.jpg

Here he moves so fast, not the fastest auto or plane can replicate.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...r%20train/1.jpg

Something that takes a bunch of men hours and hours do to, he does easily while they sleep.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...h/barrier/1.jpg

Supes casually throws rocks out of the way.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...gth/rocks/1.jpg

To cause the cave in he destroys the supports.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/.../supports/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/.../supports/2.jpg

With a miner he pulls himself up the lifts wire up very fast apparently.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...ngth/wire/1.jpg


Issue 4.

With ease and disguised as someone else he easily runs though them all.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...jocks%201/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...jocks%201/2.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...jocks%201/3.jpg

Same here but someone tries to stab him and fails.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...jocks%202/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...jocks%202/2.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...jocks%202/3.jpg

He jumps very far in one leap.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...misc/jump/1.jpg

Here he runs past a train no problem.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...204/speed/1.jpg

Now finally we see a jock trying to beat him up but he casually slaps him to the side and knocks him out.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...204/fight/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...204/fight/2.jpg



Issue 5.

He easily beats a train until he comes across a messed up track that will cause the bridge to collapse.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...205/speed/1.jpg

He holds the bridge up while the train goes by. One of his impressive strength feats.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...th/bridge/1.jpg

Now we see him holding a dam together some how to stop all the water rushing through until it collapses.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...ength/dam/1.jpg
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...ength/dam/2.jpg

Not only does he outrun a huge tidal wave he moves a little mountain or something to stop the wave.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...ngth/rock/1.jpg

Next I will do issue 6 and more. I hope everyone understands a bit more of his power. Oh and remember I would like to be corrected on the mistakes on the continuity and earth 1 and 2 etc but don't turn it into a big debate like others make a thread if someone disagrees. Thanks.

Oh and just in case anyone misses it can you let ME post the scans, that inlcudes his deah by SBP. Thanks.

Agreed.

Oh and take note people this is different than the other one because this is going to be about the original. Maybe if I get board if I finish I will do more but for now classic FTW.

I requested you not to post scans. Its my own work and they are to big. In fact can you ask the mod to make them links theyre to big for my screen and its taking to long to load them.

Theres a reason I asked people not to post, I am working on something and other scans just sort of mucks my plans up.

Edited Kid123's posts at his request. Though it technically didn't do anything to your order, BA, and was just additions to the thread. In any case, feel free to repost them 123 once BA is finished (and if he hasn't posted them already).

DURABILITY:(and also feats containing durability, speed and strength. Just putting those all in here)

Superman is unharmed by machinegun fire and some gas.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...r/Superman2.jpg

Superman turns over a “tank-like truck” then catches another truck before it’s turned over and rights it and after all that, he chases after a truck speeding away and overtakes it.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...r/Superman4.jpg

As always, machineguns do nothing. So a guy think he’ll be smart and tries shooting Supes with an elephant gun. Oops. Guess that doesn’t work either. Well, at least the guy got a new necklace out of it.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...r/Superman7.jpg

“Clark Kent” is dropped fifteen floors down an elevator shaft. No man could survive...but SUPERMAN could. Completely unhurt, too
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman11.jpg

Rips the propeller right off a plane
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman10.jpg

Uneffected by sharp spikes and acid
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...uperman11-1.jpg

Superman takes a fall from a building and plays dead. The crooks drop him over a bridge into a river. Superman floats to the bottom and waits. Once the criminals have ALREADY driven off, he surfaces and easily catches up with the car and then ducks underneath it, casually being bashed through speedbumps.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman14.jpg

Some superspeed and then Superman vs. Plane in head-on collision. Who wins?
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman13.jpg

Takes gunfire and then pulls a plane down to Earth.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman17.jpg

The bomber Superman saw while underwater is intercepted by Superman who leaps up and rips off the bombrack. One bomb threatens a direct hit so Supes punches it to explode in mid-air.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman19.jpg

Takes the best bomb some crook ever made and is unharmed
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman24.jpg

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Supes take the Full blast of that munitions factory going up and be unharmed?
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superman28.jpg

Blasted then buried then blasted by one of Luthor’s devices. According to Lex:
“That bolt was powerful enough to wreck a battle ship!” And he wasn’t even hurt or so it seems to me anyway
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Durability2.jpg
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Durability3.jpg

Superman takes a shell from a cannon then when he’s twisting the cannon, they fire again And it blows up on Supes. None of this phases good ol’ Clark.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...mpXor/Shell.jpg

Superman gives the people in the sub the chance to surrender. They choose to blow themselves up instead but even though Superman is hit dead-on with the blast, he seems fine.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...PimpXor/Sub.jpg

Superman resists some hypnosis.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...r/SuperMind.jpg

Takes a torpedo head-on and is unharmed. Then carries the submarine over his head onto land.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Xor/Torpedo.jpg


Superman takes an exploding shell ans is unharmed.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...impXor/Bomb.jpg


Superman claims that there is no bomb invented that can make “the slightest impression on [him]”
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...mpXor/Bomb2.jpg

Superman survives complete submersion in lava. His costume isn’t even damaged.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...impXor/Lava.jpg

As you can see, the “Lightning Master” uses his devices to manipulate the weather to cause lightning storms. So this isn’t just fake lightning he makes himself
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...r/Lightning.jpg.

So the lightning is already going for the tower? Well, apparently, he reacts and moves faster than lightning as he beats the bolt to its destination and then absorbs it. That’s hundreds of millions of volts of electricity he just can absorb like that.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Lightning2.jpg

The liner was set to explode and when it finally does, Superman takes the blast that was intended to destroy an entire canal. He seems fine.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...pXor/Liner2.jpg

This ray has been used to knock down huge buildings and has done it a few times before Superman goes to stop it. The full force of a ray that can “shatter a skyscraper” is turned on him. He endures it, pushes through it and destroys the device.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...PimpXor/Ray.jpg

A couple million volts of electricity? No sweat.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...mpXor/Volts.jpg

The entire side of a mountain is blown down on Superman.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...or/Mountain.jpg

Golden Age Superdickery

Got some other nice feats in here too, though.

GA Superman knew who the good guys were and the bad guys were and when it came time to make a choice on who to save, it wasn’t a tough decision. No remorse either for the loss of a criminal life.
Alsoa nice feat of running while carrying a big truck.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superdick3.jpg


Some crooks rigged a car to blow. What does Superman do? Makes them get in the car and start it!
(They don’t die but it’s a nice way to solve a crime)
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superdick4.jpg

Superman easily reaches into a furnace to save the evidence a criminal was trying to destroy. As a last resort, the crook tries to blow up Superman.As our hero acknowledges, he’s just dandy but the crook is well...not.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superdick5.jpg

Grabs a couple crooks....

Guy: “A train coming straight at us!”
Superman: So it is.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...sUPERDICK6a.jpg


He jumps out of the way of the train and then dumps the crooks off while he saves the people put in danger because of them.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Superdick6b.jpg

Then he returns to...uh...save them?
He even is kind enough to get them a free lift on a plane.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Superdick6c.jpg


And of course all this is part of Superman’s plan. He gives them this little ride and either they talk or well....
Superman knows how to get a confession.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Superdick6d.jpg


Superman holds out his hand and the bullets bouncing off his hand ricochet back at the gunmen.
Then he busts through an electrified steel door
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superdick7.jpg

Superman grabs some criminals out of a car and decides to take them along as he easily races a train and beats it. Then he decides to try and beat the train to the crossing. He also mocks them on basically what all criminals are at heart: cowards.
Superman: “For a pair of hard-boiled guys whose speciality is rubbing out lives, you certainly seem terrified at the thought of losing your own.”
Then he tells the f***ers to get out of his town or he’ll be back.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superdick8.jpg


Superman gives a guy a ride.
“Good grief we’re sure to smash into that bus!”
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b.../Superdick9.jpg

Superman is giving yet ANOTHER guy a ride (he’s so thoughtful) through mid-air but since the guy is such filth, Superman doesn’t want to touch him and he keeps juggling him from hand-to-hand. Almost missed him one time!
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...Superdick10.jpg



Superman invites a criminal to play catch and the criminal is the ball.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...mpXor/Catch.jpg

A guy tries to club Superman and ends up KO’ing himself. Super-Skull for the win.
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b...or/SuperDud.jpg


Calmly watches a crook die a horrible death on a painful poison and then neatly takes something off the corpse.
