I don’t care what the art depicts. The writer makes it crystal damn clear that Supes was only partially affected by the bomb.
The full blast would have incinerated him. There’s no shame on that. Who the hell survives 50 x supernova.
In any case everyone but Juhnny could potentially either survive or die depending on the writer’s intentions
That is exactly what happened. The electromagnetic shockwave hit Supes, which threw him back. The radiation from the blast(which came after the shockwave) is what he avoided at all costs, as it would have incinerated him. Point: it's borderline retarded for anyone to act like Supes 'tanked' a 50x supernova across the board, when he merely endured the least dangerous portion of it, and fled from the rest of it. You can't just endure *part* of a blast's totality and say you tanked it across the board. That is phucking idiotic.
Say a nuke went off miles from my house and I was far enough away to only be pushed to the ground by the remainder of the detonation's initial shockwave... If I then proceeded to get up, hop in my Jeep, and drive the opposite direction from the blast's epicenter before any of the heat or radiation from it ever touched me... Does that mean I 'tanked' a nuke? Phuck. No.

Change anything you'd like if it makes you feel better. It doesn't change the fact that Superman didnot tank the blast in its totality. Not even close.

A weakened Superman, whose power was drained each second, tanked the Explosion of a 50x Supernova but not all of it's effects. An impressive überfeat, the intention of the writer was clear. The radiation was the most dangerous for him, because he was already poisoned.
Anyway, it's simply retarded to lowball this feat.^^

Is still a pretty good feat, even if We only say that He with stand the electro-magnetic shock wave of an explosion equivalent to 50 SUPER novas. ONLY that makes it pretty ubber. + He was not at peak. IMO

Never said the feat wasn't impressive. What I said is that he clearly did not tank a 50x supernova in its totality(not even close.) He simply endured the initial electromagnetic shockwave it generated, and fled from the rest of the blast.

Me neither. IMO I think the feat AS IS, is pretty good, but some (not you or anyone in particular) might not think that surviving the electro-magnetic shock wave is a big deal, when in this case it is.
