Animal Man vs Superman

wouldnt pheromones of queen bees allow him to mind control other worker bees only?

it wouldnt give him telepathy

Well, just pheromone control in general.
Combine that with elephant infra-sound and toads' hallucinogenic secretions and you've basically got close-range mind-control. Screwing with enemies' emotions and perceptions...

masterbruce.....humans ARE animals.

I realize that humans are animals, but I'm assuming that his creator meant that he could only absorb the powers of non humanoid animals

or else he would be the most powerful DC character almost and I def dont think the writers intended for that

Or....maybe he just wasn't very popular.

"elephant infra-sound"

what the hell is that? some of these animal powers sound kinda bogus

He was created in the sixties that' why they called him 'animal man' they ussualy came up with crappy names back then

Read about it here http://www.birds.cornell.edu/brp/EleInfrasound.html

Damn...Animal Man would be a beast in Marvel...since mutants are natural species...he could have the power of EVERY mutant ever existed...shit.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN

Yeah, I was just thinking that.

He could just reach in and grab phoenix.

I doubt he could wrap his mind around that type of power, but he could do a whole lot.

*Thanos lands on planet*

"You may have every power of every mutant...but you don't have the power of THANOS."

"Actually, I have. You set your foot on the planet."

"Holy shit."

Morrison did went that way. Thats already out three trades of his entire run, not only its one of the best reads ever, it shows what he can do. And hes just not popular, Morrison and the writters that came next made him quite big.

Hes more a cult character inside DC than a popular one like lets say Batman and Wonder Woman.

Seriously...he is like the most powerful character on planet.

He has the POTENTIAL to be powerful. However he's hasn't done even HALF the things on the list mentioned before. Actually it's just a list of ideas he COULD do. Not what he HAS done. It's no consensus for what he HAS or CAN do.

We can do the same with Magneto, Silver Surfer, or Martian Manhunter. These characters are capable of doing insane stuff....but they haven't. The writers unfortunately aren't scientists. So Animal Man will almost always be underwritten. It's more CIS than PIS.

I just read about Animal man none of his stats impress me at all Superman wins.

But it is true. Red = Connected to every living being that has been on contact with Earth = Animal Man can have powers of every living being of Earth.
