Just because some thing conflicts with your view of things should be, does not mean they are wrong because they are not.

Supes fans are always saying that they're not trying to limit themselves to his high end feats, but the way he's currently being portrayed.
but recently (and im talking a fair few years here), he's consistently being portrayed as being high end... how many low showings has superman had in the last while?
Well at the time Wolverine's healing factor was being portrayed as uber but that still wasn't being taken into consideration.
it might be that way with some people, but me personally (im not saying you are accusing me or anything), i believe that it is taken into consideration by anyone who's opinion is worth listening to...
I myself have never seen anyone discredit a feat of Supes that could be replicated by Thor or WW with strength. I'm willing to accept the majority of his strength feats(and to a lesser extent his durability feats) without much issue. Some of them like the Maggedon thing though...
yet you were saying the supernova's in action were a bit much... 😛 either thor or wonder woman could probably survive a similar explosion imo...
the mageddon thing is something i know very little about (i don't even know who the character is), so my bad...
Maggedon,
Don't know it... 😮
just about anything involving T-Vo,
i've actually never read a comic where t-vo was used, but yes, it sounds like complete shite...
heatvisioning the shit out of Despero,
in fairness, superman's HV is quite often referred to as being his most powerful weapon, and thats given his massive strength and speed... but if its superman & batman you're talking about, that book has some awfully incredibly bias in its pages at times...
massive strength feats under a red sun or while exposed to massive amounts of K-nite, etc. There are quite a few that are pretty freakin stupid.
i've honestly never considered red sun radiation or kryptonite to be like off switches with superman... i think their effect (especially nowadays), is more of a gradual thing... yes they'll kill him, but even a normal human can take a fair amount of time to die of radiation poisoning...
😎
i know, i know, me agreeing with you... lucky you eh? 😛
The difference is that Surfer and Kyle are SUPPOSED to do that kind of thing. Supes being able to do it through sheer speed is just plain stupid.
no offence, but that's exactly what i was talking about... can you go into more detail about the actual event itself please?
It's very similar to Marvel saying that Hulk is so strong that he can grab energy with his bare hands. It's just a random ability that he has "just because"(whether it makes sense or not) that you have to hear about in every one of his threads.
but why not? his powers are extradimensional in nature arent they? his strength, and how the gamma radiation effects that strength could, with a bit of creative writing be shown to have the effect on hulk whereby he can do stuff like that...
either that or it could be complete bullshit...
but superman>>>>>>>>hulk, by a fair amount, and superman's versatility (imo), is one of the most underrated things on this forum... the guy's a frickin genius, and is considered one of the smartest people on earth...
But you are the exception rather than the rule. I don't have a problem with Supes having ridicules feats as long as people are willing to behave like you and overlook them. My problem is that so many Supes fans aren't willing to do that for anyone BUT Supes.
so just ignore them, and pay more attention to guys like me, juntai and val... problem solved... 😛
It was under red sunlight, which should have had him damn near powerless. That spells BS in my mind.
again... 😛

I'm not saying that all Supes current feats are bogus(I don't know enough about this one to make the call). Just pointing out that DC is making his questionable feats more and more common to appease the fanboys.
but its done with so many other characters too, why just focus on superman? wolverine, surfer, thor, juggernaut, hulk, wonder woman, the green lanterns, supergirl, most x-men, martian manhunter, i mean, the list goes on and on, why make superman the focus? sure there's the fanboys, but why bother with them anyway?
But how legit does it SOUND to you. See these are the kinds of feats that you hear mentioned in EVERY freakin Supes thread.
it depends on the nature of the problem to be honest... sure, if it was written a certain way, it could be complete bullshit, but i ask, what bearing on a fight between him and say, surfer, does the ability to repair anomalies in space time have?
But you see my point right?
i always did, i just don't agree...😛
to me alot of his high end feats are just that, high end, and not outside his range of abilities... 😬
