Is superman really invulnerable?

a normal lightsaber would bounce off him, a kryptonite one might take a few swings, but it would eventually kill him...

matters the writer and who is holding he lightsaber. DOS supes most likely could be ko'd by a nuke by post imprelex it would take a crap lot more then that to do anything to him.

The lightsaber thing would be interesting though. Even the most crazy writters (like Jeph Loab) have shown that supes can be cut by things that are really durrable (like solders bullet) so a light saber might do a lot of damage. but seeing as how superman has a healing factor now I don't see it killing him or putting him down for long

It would be very interesting to see what would happen if someone hits spuerman with a lightsaber...(would it cut through his skin or not?) If it can, then that guy can just cut superman's head off😆

A regular lightsaber would do nothing at all to him. You'd achieve the same effect with a lightsaber as you would if you hit Supes with a baseball bat. Nothing.

couldnt the light sabre emulate red sunlight and cut him up?

It's hard to imagine the lightsaber can be stopped by superman's skin...><

but it should be stopped by his forcefield he has.. Unless the bio-aura has been retconed without me knowing it to him not having it.

Why> It's just a blade of heat and Superman has taken Supernova's to the chin before. The Aura stops it and even if the aura has been retconed ther's still no evidence a light saber could slice through someone of Superman's durability.

invulneabilty is nothing but moluecule density. a scientific genius could come up with weapon that will pierce through his invulneabilty.

No one is invulnerable.

Superman just has a high level of durability.

How about a kryptonite light saber? I'm sure Lex Luthor would be able to create one if he thought of it lol.

Superman has relative invulnerability, compared to us and most things in the universe he may as well be invulnerable.

Superman is invulnerable to conventional force. It is next too impossible to hurt him by conventional means. Things, like kryptonite, magic, supernovas, New Genesis and Apokolips colliding would be considered unconventional, IMHO.

Only in our hearts. 😮‍💨

The truth of the matter is that Superman is invulnerable when the situation calls for it. Is he immortal and impervious? as long as he sells comics.

I have a question and wasnt sure where to ask it. diddnt want to start a thread for one question. What comic series of superman leads up to him leaving to sleep in the sun? Why did he leave in the first place? much appreciated if any help can be given?

couldnt agree more.

Yes sups is invulnerable(Hard to be hurt) but not invincable(Can't be hurt)

You realize those aren't the proper definitions, right?

Invulnerable and Invincible mean the same thing (although invincible has a connotation of being able to defeat anyone in addition to just resisting any attack)

Well from what I've seen in the whole power list thing that they are.Dosn't matter though.

invincibility - the property being difficult or impossible to defeat (Key wordbeing Difficult)

invulnerability - having the strength to withstand attack

Yes I was some what wrong.But I know when it comes down to comic powers they are switched

Don't worry....he can't spell right anyways, so I don't think that matters much.
