Binary vs. Superman (pre-crisis)

Correct, PC Supes would absolutely kick her ass. 🙂

And Cosmic Cube - there's nought wrong with making a PC Supes thread:

But it should be a rule, that if someone makes a claim that Supes does 'such and such' to beat the enemy, they should produce scans showing him doing that or something similar to indicate that he could.

Agreed? 🙂

For example:

Armandovalles (or anyone else) "Silver Surfer just zap him with KNite rays and he's dead!!!!"

JediMasterLuke (or... well, okay, just him) "Nah!!! Supez pwns!! He'd smack Surfer like a n00b!! Supez is l33t!!!"

This would not be acceptable.

"Surfer would zap him with KNite."

"No he wouldn't, cos Supes would turn intangible like this (produces scan) and then hit him with a planet destroying punch like this (produces scan)."

This WOULD be acceptable. 🙂

Has Supes ever turned intangible when confronted with Kryptonite before?

According to Wikipedia Super strength: While the exact magnitude of Superman's strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that his strength easily surpasses the capacity to lift 100 tons, but how much more is not known exactly. This is because Superman's strength, like his other powers, has fluctuated over time, with the Man of Steel being at times able to shift a planet from its orbit. One figure for Superman's strength is 800,000 tons (pre-The Death of Superman story arc).

PreCrisis is damn strong, thats the reason DC rebooted him

Not that I can think of, because usually he completely ignores the fact he has faster than light reactions and just stands there and gets hit by the Knite rad, lol! 😛

But seeing as he can see light moving in slow motion, it's reasonable to assume that in full battle mode, he'd be able to see KNite radiation coming too and become intangible in time. 🙂

But wouldnt the radiation affect so as to prevent him from being able to turn intangible? Plus how exactly does he turn "intangible"? If its by vibrating his molecules then theres no reason why he wouldnt still be effected is there? 😕

Supes CAN vibrate in that way, just like Flash. In that case, you're right, he would get zapped by KNite. 🙂

But he can also vibrate himself onto other planes of existence - this is how he can travel from dimension to dimension and (in the multiverse) from universe to universe.

This is also how he teleports and flies into hyperspace.

He can phase himself enough out of existence to nullify any effects from KNite and remain invisible long enough for Binary to lose interest.

Then smack her with a planet smashing punch. 😄

Dont get me wrong ive already said Pre C Supes would win against her if you recall. Im just trying to get a handle on this version of Supes' abilities.

I know, mate.

It's quite impressive how civil you are when it's a non-cosmic thread! 😄 😉

To explain it a little:

Flash taught Supes how to vibrate his molecules and make himself invisible and intangible. 🙂 Using this tactic, I should imagine KNite probably would affect him.

He can also go intangible in another way. When he was Superboy, he learned how to travel through dimensions.

In the DCU, dimensions are seperated by 'vibrational' barriers. If Supes virbates his atoms to a certain frequency then he can move totally or partially through these barriers, moving to other dimensions and universes. 🙂

Using this method, KNite most likely wouldn't be able to affect him, as he would only be partly in 'existence.' He has used this same trick to defeat magic before too. 🙂

---------------------

As for how he'd be able to affect this whilst under the influence of KNite, he couldn't. But he'd do it BEFORE the KNite hits. He sees things moving at the speed of light quite easily. 🙂

Pre-Crisis Supes in his prime showings packed more than enough punch to defeat any herald level character. ✅
