The truth about Post Crisis Supes

Him being the most powerful of earth heroes would be alright...but so damn over-superpowered does just suck.

Its got to be spiderman / Wolverine hasn't it ... Im not to sure , im not really into street levelers ! 🙂

I just saw something on tv a coupla days ago, rating 1) currently the most popular male hero (tv, movie or comics); the most popular female hero/vixen; and 3) the most popular villian.

Of the heroes: Batman was 3, Superman #2, and Spidey was numero uno (again: most popular, not most well-known).

Catwoman was the numero uno vixen.

Didn't bother to watch villians, but offhand I would guess Darth Vader.

The Linear Men had him on trial post Our World's at War before The Quintessence for being too powerful of an entity, apperently his mere passing can sigificantly alter the timestream and change the multiverse. Steel saved him in the Aegis Armor. Spectre was his "lawyer". 😄

And, even the Guardians considered the Kryptonians godlike.

Do you remember the issue #?

Sky 1 ?

most things sound cool but it is fair to point out that desptie previous claims. SOME of these feats are pre crsis. eg. i actually had the trade "superman: the greatest stories ever told" where it spanned from the golden to silver age, to today. and in one of the silver age comics clark thought he was gonna die, so he started fixing all the wolrd's problems(repairing the eroded pyramids, solving world hunger...among other things)

then at the end he used his heat vision from earth to write on the moon that he, clark kent was indeed superman, and how much it was a pleasure serving them and blah blah(he did it in the day time so they couldnt see it until night when he was already dead) i guess the geniuses who wrote superman back in those days didnt take into consideration that when it is daylight on one side of the globe it is night on the opposite side, so his ID would have already been compromised.

anyhoo, it turned out thata the reason he was dying was becuase jimmy olsen was wearing a kryptoniite neckless, for some dumb ass reason, and becuase the moment he felt sick jimmy was in his presence. moreover, becuase such a meida spectacle was made out of it reporters from all over the world flocked to superman as he was doing all these herculean tasks...and yep jimmy was there too so he just got sicker and sicker...it wasnt until he sealed himself in a sleeping beauty type opf glass case that the effects of kyrptnte wore off, and every body figured out that he wasnt dying after all, but beucase jimmy was exposing him to kryptonite all along. then to save his ID him and Krypto used thier heat vision to scratch out the message he wrote on the moon

I would disagree that Superman is not the most popular. He's the grandaddy of all superheroes. Superman is also the most well known. Although Batman comics sell more because many people like Batman better, since he's the most probable of all comic book heroes.

And some people still believe he doesn't stand a chance against Hulk... 🙄

Anyway, this is probably better suited for the Superman Forum.
