It really is getting out of control at DC isn't it? Superman isn't super anymore over there. He hasn't felt super in a long time. It's funny, the only time he gets the treatment he deserves anymore is in alternate realities.
What is DC's problem? I mean seriously? Even if it is for dramatic purposes, its still stupid. Does anyone really think he won't be able to lift it? What is wrong with making Superman actually...well...super and having him lift it effortlessly?

So we are all in agreement that Hulk breaks his jaw with a single punch? 🙂

Hasn't felt super?Christ, am I the only one who remembers him bench pressing planetary weight... for days on end...without any exposure to solar rays...all the while never coming close to testing the upper limits of his strength..?
This was less than a year ago, people.
I think they are talking about 'as a whole'.

But on another not getting the thread closed note, I'm 90 percent sure Captain America Torch has never looked like this:
Well, I don't want the thread closed, so the last thing I'll say is: yes, the bench-pressing feat was awesome. That and punching H'el so hard the whole planet was shaking were his best feats. Besides those two though, what has he done that is impressive strength wise? It almost seems like DC is going out of it's way to contradict those feats lately. Yes, everyone has low feats, but in Superman unchained it was revealed that both the Russian and American militaries can stomp Supes anytime they want, in addition to having SOMEONE ELSE (Wraith) shield SUPES from GUNFIRE...he seriously said get behind me, you can't take it...That's...yeah...what other character is getting treated like this day in and day out in their own books?
Anyway, this animated short owned my tear ducts! 🙂
