How long does it take Superman to get to the Earth from the Sun?

Started by Cosmo Kramer3 pages

Say the Flash runs so fast he goes to China through the core?

Superman's powered by the Sun, so by getting energized at the sun and heading towards earth he could probly hit 10, 20, maybe even 30 times the speed of light.

hey i remember you your the guy who was mocked in a previous thread.

why they just couldnt say your name ill never understand.

how was i mocked?

i belive it was a thread about kmc most influential.

can u post me a link to that?

sorry i cant the search engine is down.

ill try to though.

he carried darkseid to the sun while he was ranting, about how special supergirl was b4 blasting thru a boom tube....and that was about 2 full sentences, so that pretty damn quick

Wrong forum.

Moving

Apparently, yes. IF he goes TOWARDS the sun. It's common sense. He can already go at sublight speeds on Earth. As he gets nearer and nearer to the sun he'll surpass the speed of light.

I thought it was impossible to achieve light speed in comics, without Speed Force or a link to Hyper Space, or a Warp drive engine. Is there no Time Dilation in D.C. comics ?

true.
He can go the speed of light in the vaccum of space.
The sun powers him, as he gets closer to the sun he gains several times more power, therefore he could convert this power into speed and possibly go several times the speed of light.

Hmmmm..... interesting theory, indeed.

superman's speed

acktually at the last comic of jla titled elit that came out about three or four months ago it states there that he can fly to the sun and back in less than a minute and this is coming from batman's own mouth and while coming bak to earth he was so powerful and moving so fast that even coldcast could not stop him he faced right through him and cold cast was sent by batman to absorb some of the power out of him so i think that also concludes the fact that silver surfers draining power would not work knowing how fast the man of steel can move they even said every power in his body becomes more powerful and he will soon develope other abilities in the future.

If that is the case, the rumours are true, D.C. is reverting to the Days of Pre Crisis. 🙁

It should actually be impossible to reach the speed of light for two reasons:

1. Energy is converted into mass and therefore you need an Infinite mass to reach the Speed of light

2. The faster one goes the more time slows down, the faster you get to the speed of light the more time is slown down, there fore it would take forever to reach the speed of light.

This is a comic book though, where the laws of physics DO not apply. 🙁

I would love to ask DC what they think?

About what ? 🙂

2-3 pages give or take how many ads there are.

In one precrisis issue, our Sun is turned into a red sun, giving off lethal red sunlight.

Not only did Supes fly BACKWARDS faster than the red sunlight....

He also managed to trace an exact path between the red sunlight and the yellow sunlight - making him able to repel the red sunlight whilst maintaining his powers.

Pre-Crisis Supes was the daddy.

Superman: transit time to Sun

Okay, here we go. In the hopeless attempt to apply real physics to Superman, consider: Superman is able to make use of solar energy by some as-yet unknown laws of biology and physics. No magic is involved, and as far as I know, he doesn't warp space or enter hyperspace, etc, etc. So how the hell does he go faster than light? This seems like a scientifically enlightened crowd here; we know the relativistic effects which would take place even if all the power in the universe were used to accelerate one electron. Unless I've missed something (wouldnt be the first time), Superman should Not be able to hit lightspeed, let alone surpass it.
That said, I've heard he can make 1% lightspeed. So, 8.3 minutes times 100 is 830 minutes, or just under 14 hours.
Superman should be able to reach the sun in that time, no sooner.
Fine and dandy. We can retract the laws of physics now.
