Iron seems to hurt Kurse but he's so powerful that it's not a Kryptonite which immediately cripples him. And the Beyonder went on to make him even stronger.

Exactly.

Iron certainly isn't the trump card in Kurse threads/battles, like it's touted as on the forum. Several hundred tons of iron being dropped on his dome caused no significant damage... Imagine the same amount of k-nite being dropped on Superman! 😱

I bring this up because Kurse's alleged 'iron weakness' gets mentioned in the majority of threads he's involved in, despite this 'weakness' never being overtly exploited on panel. Granted, I may have missed an instance where iron was used to stop Kurse, but... I don't think I did.

Myth busted?

Yeah, i guess. And neither do i recall anything apart from the power pack scene.

Apparently Pandora said that Post-Flashpoint Superman was stronger then Post-Crisis Superman. Anyone got a scan of that?

I don't recall Pandora ever having made a reference to pre-Flashpoint anything since the DCnU was introduced.

She definitely knows about the previous creation, but I don't recall her making any explicit statements regarding a single character that existed in old DC...

This was what was said:
"According to Pandora, post-flashpoint superman is actually post-crisis superman made stronger."

Although it was Abhil who claimed this (Over on ICT) so it wouldn't exactly be shocking if it was completely made up.

Yeah, it was nonsense. Read it for yourself just for the lawlz cause I honestly couldn't make this shit up even if I tried:

Also, could I have a scan of that Pandora comment? I'd like to read it.

author=abhilegend
Have you even read Flashpoint and what Pandora did?

Could I have a scan or reference for that please? This isn't really a reply:

She made the whole universe stronger by realigning it. She just rewrote the reality.

It isn't a divergent universe. So should DCnU superman gets the feats of preboot superman?

What?

You said, and I quote:
"According to Pandora, post-flashpoint superman is actually post-crisis superman made stronger."

You think Pandora strengthening reality by rewriting it (Which resulted in a reboot) means what you said and that Flashpoint Superman should get Post-Crisis Superman feats?

Jesus ****ing Christ Buddha under a tree and Thor at a Bar you are flat out retarded. Congratulations, you're a walking talking argument for implementing euthanization. What a moron.

facepalm

Wait what?

Can you believe that someone legitimately typed that, looked it over, and hit send? Smh.

And it gets better. When you're bored and want to reassure yourself that you are indeed sane and intelligent by most standards, take a gander at some other threads still being discussed:
http://herochat.com/forum/index.php/topic,254887.msg4271426.html#msg4271426 < Have at thee means all out and other gems
http://herochat.com/forum/index.php/topic,255406.msg4271497.html#msg4271497 < Superman vs. Fernus and other gems

Plenty of other shit as well.

Without trying to ruin this fine thread, I'll just leave one comment and then go.

Superman is DC's pre-eminent hero. At the end of the day, he will always save the day. That much has been proven time and time again. Feats don't need to be manipulated, exaggerated, and sometimes altogether made up, just to raise the pedestal. That goes for any character, not just Superman.

Now I guess I need to ask a question to get things back on track...

When/how did Superman Blue return to normal? The comic book reading portion of my childhood ended in the midst of Superman Blue, and obviously he returned to normal long before I got back into reading. I still haven't read the later Superman Blue stuff

😂

For anybody interested, I was parodying Rage's claim that Tanaraus gets all the feats of Thor because of some history replacing bullshit. Rage fell hook, line and sinker.

You'll have to forgive rage. He just can't accept that Superman is anything special.

He returned to normal in Superman Forever oneshot. It was explained in JLA 20 that his excess energy dispelled and he returned to normal (He turned to Superman Blue because he absorbed too much energy when he tried to jumpstart his powers after Final Night in the heart of sun). It was revealed in Infinite Crisis that it was SBP's punch that turned him into Superman blue.

Rage forgot why I parodied him in the first place. Apparently Tanaraus has ALL of Thor's feats.

Ulik was wearing a charm to fake his Tanarus appearance but it was pointed out that his story replaced Thor's and had started thousands of years ago.
Ulik was wrapped in illusion but it was specifically stated that his story and history replaced Thor's.

Based on that Tanaraus gets all of Thor's feats and Thor gains the feat of disintegrating Tanaraus with Thor's feats. Rage is a genius, genius I say. So I just took his logic and when I used this same logic as starbreaker and Superman remembering his adventures from PC days (backed by editorials), he flat out denied it.

I'm not denying that Superman didn't fight Starbreaker in the past like you're denying Tanarus taking over Thor's story. I'm simply pointing out that using this logic to argue this Superman could move planets like the one who fought Starbreaker in the Pre-Crisis is retarded.

Can you hear that word? Hypocrite or some such.

That's why I took the most extreme path and parodied the **** out of his argument.

How strong is Sundipped Superman ???

He is trans level at best ? I saw some people claming he could be Skyfathers...or they are just from Kal-Kaeda ?

I don't think he is, because my definition of skyfather should be someone who defies the laws of comic book logic, grants powers to others, is a leader of pantheon and can at least bust several solar systems on his power output.

But for some busting a planet is enough to consider them skyfathers.

I don't think He is, even though Superman not sundipped and exposed to a blue star can already grant powers to others on par of his.

Best answer will be for you to read the arc, so you can have your own conclusions.
