The thing is, most people underestimate supernovas by a lot.


In a comic, it's normally just some explosion.


In real life, a supernova going off where the sun is while you're on earth would be worse than touching an atomic bomb when it's going off... by nine orders of magnitude.

There's that much power.

As for black holes and exploding stars etc. If I were editor in chief @ Marvel or DC, no one short or skyfather is surviving shit like that unless they have some sort of power set advantage. It just phucks up any of the suspension of disbelief limits that I have reserved for comic book entertainment.

Dude, what about GALAXY busting attacks? Because Vision and WM survived one.

Think about it, as awesomely powerful as super novas are, they are "only" responsible for creating solar systems. A GALAXY contains hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of solar systems. The power necessary to bust a galaxy is mind boggling, yet Vision and WM survived!

Man, all this is pissing me off. I just want to walk up to a classmate and punch them in the face.

The absolute most you could argue is that he withstood the electromagnetic shockwave generated by the explosion-- but the radiation itself(the particularly dangerous part of the blast) never actually touched him before he was saved. If it had, Supes would have been "incinerated."

That said, I do believe he can survive a supernova. He's certainly not going to tank it, mind you... But he would survive.


Yeah, damn - I recalled that feat being much more impressive :-|

But didn't he still take regular supernovas unharmed, yet knocked out? Wasn't there a Suneater-explosion, which left him unharmed, but knocked him out and sent him flying back in time or some crazy crap like that?

I once read that if a supernova went off 1 light year from Earth, it would still be powerful enough to obliterate every planet/celestial object in our solar system... So basically it's a solar system buster at least.

That wasn't a supernova, that was a normal star.


Oh yea, that's another thing- comics do call any star exploding a 'supernova'. 90% of the time, it really would just be a normal nova. Much smaller and more reasonable.

No they do, only that light in the DCU light travels way faster than light in the real world as Wally West and the narration confirm it stick out tongue

It's not so much about conformity to "rwp", as it is about suspension of disbelief. Sometimes even "it's comics" isn't enough to circumvent that lol.

Oh I agree. Sometimes the crap they write is SO stupid that it's hard to even give it the benefit of the doubt, fictional or not.

Well there is some stuff in comics that you simply ignore, because it's too stupid and some stuff you simply have to go with.

In one of my Sentry threads I said that Superman's power-set is insanely stupid and that it would never work in the real world...

Check this out and supernovas will be the least of your worries regarding comic book logic:

If superpowers were real: Flight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GDYCxQYbjg

If superpowers were real: Super Strength
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQhduHFp2I

If superpowers were real: Super Speed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryGR06dlPf0

If superpowers were real: Invisibility
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-YLJ-pHRhA

If superpowers were real: Body Mass
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpV7DKwcqbk

If superpowers were real: Immortality

The thing is that in Marvel at the very least, this sort of stupidity can either by overlooked or ignored at least as far as people with the X-gene are concerned, seeing how the Celestials designed it to have reality warping functions per Galacta.

Superman already got KO'ed by a nova.
If Superman gets KOed by a nova in comics, then more than half the people here do as well. A supernova though...

Some of them might just live due to their immortality like Juggernaut, Thanos when Death doesn't want to die, Captain Marvel in post crisis due to his magical regeneration. Superman is probably going to get amped by a super nova IMO.

Realistically none of them should, but they will surivie because comics.

But Thanos survived against a Black Hole, Planet Explosions (one of then KOed a guy who withstand a Star Explosion), Skyfathers attacks...cant see why a Supernova would "realistically" kill him.

As for Torch, it's like others have said: the heat wouldn't hurt him(he's withstood Planck temperature, after all), but the shockwaves/planetary debris and so forth would probably kill him.

He absolutely did, he was at the center when entropy bomb went off and he was blasted back.

That sun eater had absorbed energy of several suns and it all imploded as he was at the center of sun eater. It was more than a sun getting supernova.
