Supermans Power rate vs Hulk's Power Rate

I was reading SHC, and a poster called Jellyrobes, said that Superman has a legit dynamic power level.
Ie, that his power goes up and down depending on the mindstate he's in.

Now by now, everybody knows that Hulk has a true blue, dynamic powerlevel. Its tied into his stress levels.

Now lets compare Hulks moving power level to Superman.

Does the Man of Steel actually have a moving powerset??

Or is it just dependent on his access to it?

I call no.

And after a few responses, i'll reply with why.

Don't be quiet now!!
Speak on it!!

Superman's power level seems to be all in his mind.
His actual power level doesn't have any real set limit...especially in the physical realm.

Well, it's been stated by J'onn, Wonder Woman, a scientist that knows Superman's body better than anybody (his genetic make up, not what you think 😠 ), and Mongul that his body is able to absorb more and more sunlight the more stressed he becomes, so I say yes. 😬

Jelly, is that you? 😕

But thats not true. Superman has a power source. Sunlight.

And the amount of sunlight he has in his body, dictates what he can do.........Right??

What is this Jelly thing?

Yes, Sunlight is the catalyst but we aren't talking about a weakened Superman.

You're bringing up a standard everyday Supes, correct?

Of course it's dynamic. He can go all the way from John Byrne power level to Jeph Loeb. herbnana

Jelly is a superman fanboy of the highest level.

Actually, i gotta apologize for likening you to him.

Sorry 😮

But Superman doesn't have a true dynamic power level, i always thought.

He simply does what every other hero does, and stops holding back on occasion and accesses the full brunt of power within him.

Or is that line of thought wrong?

He has an unlimited power source. You do the math.

When did it become unlimited??

I thought it was yellow sunlight??

I've always wondered if Superman had a cap on the amount of sunlight he could absorb.

For all intents and purposes, the sun is an unlimited power source for him. It has enough energy to run for another 5 billion years.

I'd have to check out some of his posts, I may agree with some but probably not all. There is usually a scan and always a method to my madness.

Well, the first thing is that Hulk and Superman are 2 totally distinct characters. I'm not sure why people like comparing them as the only thing they have in common is that they both share Super strength.

Hulk directly gets stronger through his anger.

Supes does 2 things... the angrier he gets, the less he holds back and at the same time, the more solar energy he absorbs. In my opinion it's a much slower process of him powering up as compared to the Hulk. However since Superman is holding back less it may seem like it's completely dynamic.

The only exception to that is sundipping which quickly exponentially powers him up.

Seeing has Superman basically has very few physical limits (said by writers, not myself) he taps into very little of his power due to him being raised as a human. It's especially evident when he's pulling insane feats that lie beyond what most would consider his limits.

Apparently not i.e Superman Prime. And if he does, it's so much that it's hard to comprehend.
