Originally posted by StoicHe explicitly said, when Brainiac asked him to make it go away, that he had no power left except to close it after they pass through.
Well in that case it couldn't have been completely gone, now could it? I mean if he had no power left? Does that make any sense to you, or do you think it would be a good idea to ignore the first part of the pot fantasy, and go with what was actually shown to clearly be a powerful feat.
Superman: "Too late...freed everyone. Power's gone. Just enough left..to close it after we pass through."
The last bullet in the barrel.
He flat-out said that he used the power to save the other [by closing the black hole] and not himself.
Brainiac: "This is your last change to save yourself!"
Superman: "Believe me, I'd love to....but I'd rather save them."
Hating Superman is ok, but denying facts is not. Stop.
