He said it wouldn't (and it didn't seriously hurt him), but it did put him down for a bit and leave burn marks all over his skin (see the next scan)

That was also a younger, weaker, Superman.

Looks more like those machines he fell into did most of the damage. Reactors or something?

True enough.

Plus, that weaker Superman was still able to lift up all of Metropolis.

Lift Metropolis? Was this from that Lori Lemaris Confidential story?

I would post a few scans, but my damn scanner is still acting up. A few things that stood out that may not have been posted were

1) Superman resisting the mind reading device and using it against his captor in the "Third Kryptonian" story.

2) Beating a Chtulhu-looking Arion that was supposed to be bigger, stronger, faster and overall tougher in the Superman Annual.

3) Using a quick super speed strike against Mantis in the latest Confidential story and then taking a couple of Omega Beams pretty well.

4) Using super speed to assist Batman company and then effectively handling one of the Four Horsemen, using super speed punches again, until he's cheap shotted from the back. He's also weakened from an earlier bite.

Yes.

He used lava for that, right? He could have lifted it, too, but I'm always for creative uses of powers.

He used the lava as a base if I recall correctly. Metropolis was still lifted by him though.

Bazrox Member

IIRC, he mentions that the lava can lift the city but can't support it, which prompts him to use arctic breath to freeze it.

I was wondering if anyone had pics of the Red Son; Soviet Superman?

I totally didnt get time to read that issue

[Notice how fast Supes is moving]:

Does anyone know who did the artwork for this? I think they also did the second "Superman vs. Bizarro" fight too. I kind of like the artwork.

Superman fights the Four Horsemen (note how he uses his speed in combat, since many people claim he hardly ever does):

The battle with Arion. His whirlpool has the full weight of the Atlantic Ocean behind it, it smashes Arion's city, then he uses one defense spell given to him by the Phantom Stranger to resist one of Arion's attacks. He also shows how he is holding back against two mutated New Gods. When Arion transforms into a Cthulhu - like creature he claims he is faster and stronger than him, but Superman wins anyway (and steals his artifacts so quickly that Arion didn't even notice). Then he fixes the damage caused by the battle:

Battles some parademons alongside Orion and Mr. Miracle. He uses an omnidirectional blast of HV that impresses Orion:

He can see the Shadow Demons' atomic structure:

His HV can disrupt the molecular structures of intangible beings:
