Supermans Power rate vs Hulk's Power Rate

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.

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.

But that contradicts all the other kryptonians/daxamites running around.

Zod wasn't raised to hold back.
Current Kara wasn't either.

And yet both are fighting and being beaten by Superman and those in his range.

He has little access due to being raised as a human, but they don't.

Whats their excuse for not imploding the galaxy when they breath deep??

Thats why i hate cockstroke writing. It makes everything skewed all over again.

I'm having a hard time judging. It's pretty close. At this point, I'll take bribes.

Superman may just be different... Check out what Ion's take on it is...

He mentions everyone, kryptonians, and THEN Superman...

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

Doubtful, or this could never happen at all.

All star Superman is the only one shown with a cap to the amount he can absorb...at least to this point. Seeing that in his universe there is a Superman 1M (which means there is a Superman Prime)...even THAT is up for debate...

Yeah, i read it. But even thats not so bad.

But writers saying that Superman accesses little of his true power, due to being raised as a human contradicts Kara or Zod, who weren't raised as humans, and don't hold back at all, but are still trumphed by Superman, who mysteriously holds back the majority of his power.

Sometimes i'm convinced, that Superman isn't merely a probable descendent of Rao.
I won't be surprised if one day DC unveils that Superman is just Rao with amnesia and regression to birth.

But back to the topic.

Superman can't create/generate power within himself.
He can't do that.
Hulk can.

And thats why Hulk is dynamic, while Superman isn't.

He can access hidden levels of power though, and make it appear as though its dynamic.

But i maintain that the same goes for mostly all Superheros.

They all hold back.

And grit it out to pull for the win.

Superman has an immeasurable amount of energy in him. But its not unlimited. Or unlimited potential.

Superman can get as angry as he wants, but without the right scenario, he won't gain more power if he's already operating at the optimum level.
He needs outside forces to power him.

Your a blasphemer!

Do you think Superman not speaking to Kyle was just him being pissed someone took his number one spot? 🙁

Not Superman being pissed due to something shallow as that.
Thats against his nature.

Thats the writer being pissed that Superman isn't pissed about it, so now Superman is pissed at himself, due to an internal conflict.

So yeah, he's pissed at Ion. 💃

I thought that at first also, but when they did talk at the end of the issue it made perfect sense. Kyle was doing the same thing that Superman disapproved of from the white martians.

He was going way overboard in his involvements in things.

That's a whole other point either way. Ion basically claims that Superman is unique...even from other Kryptonians...

But what would possibly make him different??

And like i said, the whole Rao reborn thing won't surprise me when it happens.

That, my friend is a question only DC can answer. For now we know he's the ONLY kryptonian who can laugh off Omega beams.

He actually is a direct decendant of Rao (as stated by Cythonna) so I wouldn't be surprised if DC pulled that stunt.

Oh yeah....

has the money made it your way yet? 😖hifty:

Oh, i know he's directly descended.

But if they reveal that he's Rao reborn, it'd piss me off, but wouldn't ultimately surprise me, the way they cater to the Superfamily.

can someone explain who Rao is?

Rao is the Sun God of Krypton, and the most powerful God of that Pantheon, iirc.

More than likely not the LT level God that some profess, but probably a decent skyfather type.
Though, iirc, he has no hardcore feats.

But was seen in a volume of Sandman iirc.
