Actually, realistic physics isn't my main goal. I just want comics that make for fun, interesting but not pis riddled reading. My heroes will kill, and if that somehow tarnishes them in readers eyes, so be it. Better they dirty their hands and save countless lives rather than keep sanctimonious heroes, who pardon diabolical mass murders endlessly. Joker dies in his 3rd story arc. And continuity is a priority one. If Bareback got koed by a falling brick last month, he damn sure ain't taking Purge's punches today. And character development is key. Many companies have writers develop characters, then are too scared of permanent change or lazy to continue from this point. Instead they either retcon it, or reveal that its an alternate take on the situation. 40 years, and no resolution to the joker situation, not even small steps towards that goal. Idiocy.
And a coherent, linked cosmic peak. No introduction of blights like the Infinites or Beyonders(PreRetcon). God is God and he is Supreme. No new challengers. No jobbing. Whatsoever. And if a writer gets the bright idea to kill a character, he'd better ask said characters creator for his/her okay first, as well as check with ALL other writers about the intended death, and the prerequisite resurrections down the line.
No hopping on a character they requested to write for without studying the characters history and interactions with other characters in the universe.

I can understand that Tuna, but spirituality is a huge part of my personal life. Its just that if i had my way, the two realms would hold the top beings of power. Not powerful compared to skyfathers or abstracts. They would dwarf those who live on the physical plane. All. No Superman Prime defeating Angels and Demons, or RKT storming heaven with Asgard at his back. None of that bs.

That would be pretty kick-ass for your comic . The various Pantheons get pissed and try to attack . God then bitchslap's all of them for trying.

Personally, as much as I like Superman, the idea that he can heat up a whole planet...IMO, it's a bit far-fetched, bordering on pre-crisis caliber. Either that, or the feat should've depleted him on the spot.
Really ? I always thought it was more of a case of just widening the beam and letting the planet slowly boil .

Superman's blasts can be extremely thin, or wide enough to engulf a planet.
Here is a scan of Superman heating up a planet with his heat vision .....let's see Cyclops do that!As for Superman's blasts being less powerful than Cyclops' .....please! Goodness, this is Cyclops we are talking about.
The following scan shows just how powerful Superman's heat vision is (basically so powerful that they cannot measure its true extent and limits through any means).
Yet you say someone who shoots concussive force has more intense blasts than Superman?Here is that scan:
I honestly do not understand Marvel fanboys .....even when there is no viable comparison between the two characters, one will always find a Marvel FB (or two) who will,beyond all reason, make claims that are simply asinine.
What next .....someone saying that Colossus is 'far' stronger than Superman, or someone saying that Wolverine can defeat Superman?Wait a minute .....both of those have actually been proposed by Marvel fanboys (and the Colossus statement actually made in the last 2 weeks)!
Marvel needs to innoculate its FBs with a strong dose of logic.
It is a shame to even compare Cyclops with Superman .....a better comparison would be to compare Superman with Majestros (Mr Majestic), or with Supreme, or a character of such caliber.
Not with some mutant with a visor covering his eyes.
Each company has it's share of fanboys, but for different reasons. Someone else posted that DC fans are so used to their heroes being "Godlike" that they simply can't admit when their guy or girl is outclassed. especially with Supes. It got so bad with Batman's prep that I started sarcastically referring to him as a skyfather, which obviously didn't help things. 😈
Both sides use plot devices as excuses for their guy beating a more powerful guy. "Hulk has no limit to his strength, therefore eventually he would become stronger than Doomsday and win". No. DD would kill the Hulk waaaaaay before he could get that angry.
"DD evolves on the fly now, so eventually he'd be immune to Galactus's power and would win." No. Galactus would debate making DD his newest hearld, then give him a cosmic blat that would leave NOTHING to regenerate from. Period.
Sadly, there are those on the forum with blinders on with respect to their favorites, but it's not nearly so one sided.

Excellent point. But the impression I'm getting from the scan is that it is happening rather quickly, over a few minutes, if not faster.
No big deal. I just always liked thinking of his heat vision solely as a precision weapon, not something potentially capable of mass destruction. For that, I always liked when he used his strength (eg, like if he lifted a mountain and dropped it on a city).
