Why are you so defensive? The scan I posted was to back Prime. Yes, his cold breath went through their shields. They are rookie GLs though but it's still a good ft.
But didn't Prime escape from the Speed Force, with enough precision to only arrive back a week after he left? That's...pretty good going in terms of just 'punching things'.
He also escaped from the Phantom Zone, through punching, which is.....precisely what he wanted to do, and was able to control that.
I wouldn't say using HV and cold breath, or simply just shouting (lol) as 'exotic' applications of the Kryptonian powerset. I mean, it isn't as if we are arguing he uses his HV to create antiparticle/particle pairs or cancel vibrations with a whistle or anything 'exotic' like that.
The superspeed vaccuum is literally just him flying fast, lol. I can achieve the same in my car with the windows down.
GS, I have explained this to you a million times over the decades. What happens in any story is dependent on the writer. Arguing anything here is completely subjective.
Of course its subjective, but a forum battle is a completely different medium where we're hypothesizing based on canon facts established about characters. PIS and officially uncomfirmed fan interpretations whilst interesting to hear hold no weight here.
GS, SBP doesn't have to punch kitty to alter reality the waves will ripple whatever he strikes. This statement is true and means he can simply change a Universe in a forum battle.
Others have been chipping in here and there. But it doesnt faze me. As long as im talking canon and theyre talking fan-fiction i can take on a horde of these Super-Friends.
Not true. He has to make a solid connection with something and he doesnt know what hes doing, he is unable to trigger specific intended effects. He just punches and sometimes things happen, sometimes they dont.
To make universal alterations he has only done that whilst punching something thats universally significant
And how exactly did he do those things? Have you got a defined ability you can categorize those under so you can bring it to the table in a forum match up?
Forgive me if im wrong (unlikely) but its never been revealed how SBP broke out of the Speed Force. So asserting that it was by "punching" whilst plausible given how hes written isnt actually a canon fact is it?
So its the equivalent of referencing Squirrel Girls defeat of Thanos as a way to amp up her in the hierarchy without actually having a referenceable method/power for how it was done.
Furthermore, as for Superboy Prime breaking out of the Phantom Zone, the Phantom Zone has gone through numerous revisions throughout DC continuity with its appearance and demonstrated characteristics varying throughout.
In Teen Titans v3 issue 32 a Phantom Zone arrow was used to teleport SBP into the Phantom Zone. Said attack left a breachable viewpoint with physical characteristics through which SBP could see back into normal reality and the heroes could see him.
Note that SBP was able to press his fingers against this physical viewpoint:
As demonstrated the Phantom Zone technology creates a two-way viewpoint from which both sides can view each other. A viewpoint with physicality that can and has been breached by Kryptonians other than SBP.
SBP breaching it cannot be argued to be an ability unique to him.
Unfortunately for the fans out there its a rather more grounded and boring explanation. Its just down to the Phantom Zone technology and the physical characteristics of the dimensional viewpoint which allowed this brick to punch through.
