I am sure someone else can help you more, but that is basically it. As to how many times, I think twice if I am not mistaken 🙂
Actually, we should probably find out. I'm guessing pr is capable of throwing the kitchen sink at us (metaphorically speaking) when it comes to Kal in the tourney.

Re: What is T-Vo?

I hear people talk about "t-vo" a lot when arguing for Superman. But, what exactly is it, i have no knowledge of this t-vo. When has he used it? What can it do? Where can I find more information about it? (I've tried wikipedia, but couldn't find anything). Please help.
I know little about it, except it's somehow complicated. 😕
The specifics on Torquasm-Vo are a bit hazy, but basically what it is is an ancient Kryptonian mental martial art. When Superman builds to his "theta state" (although, he HAS shown to use Torquasm-Vo on the fly during matches) he is able to execute it. It's an astral plane of existence that Superman has total control of, and is essentially GOD. The abilities that T-Vo grant him (on panel) are sentient constructs, reality warping, access to an opponent's powers, illusions, and the ability to take damage with no harm at all. He's used it (as far as I know) on Eradicator, Dominus, Blaze, and Adversary.
T-vo is short for Torqasm Vo..it is an ancient kryptomian martial art where combatants duke it out on the astral plane...its something similar to when xavier was fighting the shadow king and they were morhping all sorts or medieval armor and cool weapons, but with t-vo it can actually spill over into 3-d space, and warp reality of sorts...this was seen when supes and the eradicator were duking it out in metroplois in thier t-vo armor...3 story-robot like constructs, thats a manifestation of thier self image, naturally kal-el's was a giaat robot with an S on the chest...point is they were actually cuasing real damage to buildings, and massive energy spills IIRC
to make it even weirder, its just like "hammer space" in anime and reg cartoons, where the characters can reach off screen or behind thier backs and pull out any weapon they want, and have a limitless supply.....like they way gambit never runs out of cards, vash the stampede and his gang never run out of bullets, that irish dude from Hellsing never runs out of knives, bugs bunny reaches behind his back and pulls out a big cannon...thats basically what T-vo is two guys synch thier brain waves on the same frequency and have a freaking free for all as to what they can do....and if its intense enuff it can spill over into real space

Yes it's why anyone who knows comics knows he would beat Thanos or the Surfer etc. It's why he beat Dominus and the thing is it has nothing to do with his Kryptonian Physiology.

No more than the power cosmic or a "magic" hammer.

Yes, it's supermans answer to the power cosmic, it's a bit like Surfers recent restoration and power up, you have to ask why?
The increase in power for a storyline can be seen as this term "PIS" many on this site are found of using or it can be seen as an integral part of the plot, the protagonists "Ace up his sleeve". I wary to use the word protagonist on this site as when I used it yesterday I found out the boy I was speaking to was only 13 and didn't understand it.
The thing is no powers really exist so they are all PIS by extension, however they are integral in super hero fiction, because the characters have to have at least "super abilities" if not "super powers". If Cable gets an upgrade to "Shamen" Cable or the already overpowered "King Thor" becomes "Rune King Thor", it doesn't seem to be a problem. If Superman learns through hardwork a power people have a problem with it.
You seem intelligent from what I have read of your posts so I think I can leave the word "protagonist" in when talking to you.

I disagree, It still seems a complete barrel scrape allowing him to have some telepathic powers. Its as annoying has his apparent soul vision, demonstrated during the Sacrifice mini. I don't mind Deus Ex machina Esq but inventive uses of already existing powers, but to incomprehensibly give him unjustified ones is just ridiculous. This applies to all heroes. What ever happened to defeating telepaths by force of will ?

Its a bit different. Whereas Thor has his hammer and Surfer has the power cosmic Superman already has a buttload of powers to choose from. Whats the point of him having this also other than to ensure that he'll never lose a match. No matter how powerful a foe he comes across all he has to do is use this and suddenly he's in his own little universe where he's God.
