it doesn't matter right now. in tournaments we never care about anything but defeating our opponent, all that matters are feats and proving your character's superiority
Surfer listens to my advice and pulls an easy win via ramming his board into Supes neck at 1,000 times lightspeed while it's charged with red sun energy or transmuting his costume into Gold K-nite...
Red Sun's been rectonned, it now shuts off Supes's powers completely rather than just weaken him. Every cell Surfer's board comes into contact with will become effectively "human" so it's pretty much a guaranteed decapitation...
i'll make the point that i don't believe surfer has the sufficient CA to find out what kryptonite is made of, and even if he did how it wouldnt matter as it wasnt native kryptonite.
you'll no doubt post some scans that i've seen before, and we'll go round in circles.
and i don't believe red sun will work the way you think it does, but again, not getting in to it.
Oh come on you know you want to. Pretty the only people who ever try to argue the K-nite thing are stupid, so it'll be relief to discuss it with someone with a brain.
I just think it works the way DC rectonned it to work now, am I wrong as to what they said about it? I mean didn't they say that Red Sunlight shuts off his powers completely?

the red sun does shut his powers off, but (imo) only if there's no yellow sunlight hitting his skin. the problem is that red sun since then has been pretty vague in its appearances.
the kryptonite was a retcon by geoff johns in infinite crisis that he's only referenced twice in total that i know of.
Yeah but his board's not transparent, if its making contact with Supes's skin then it's simaltaniously blocking yellow sunlight/exposing him to red sun.
K-nite from another universe not working isn't a recent recton, that's been the way it is since before the Original Crisis if I'm remembering right. It doesn't mean that someone from another universe can't create some that will affect him, it just means that the recipe they already have access to is doomed. If Surfer got the recipe from Supes himself he'd get a version that worked...

but at the speed you're talking about, you really think superman won't try to dodge it?
sorry. i meant it's only been cemented in recent years. there've been times when kryptonite shouldn't have worked when it did, so that was where there was a problem. with johns being head boy at dc though, i don't see it happening again.
