Um, Byre depowered Superman alot. And by doing so, everyone in DC got depowered. Alot of the low feats from that era have to be taken with a grain of salt for villians and Heroes becuz of that Era. Anyway, Sentry could sneak a few wins in against Even Current Doomsday or Superman. So he for sure as hell would beat DOS doomsday.
Originally posted by darthgooberDuring his exile he was flying around the universe, so I assume we can put faster than light speeds in there. Unless of course, you want to believe he was flying between galaxies at the speed of sound. In which case, he would still be on the way to warworld even now.
Hey nvr you're a DC fan so maybe you know. I've been trying to find out what DOS Supes major strength/durability/speed feats were at that point, do you have any info in that regard?

You're right, he was flying between galaxies with a gas mask at mach 1 after exiling himself from Earth.
Originally posted by darthgooberActually, he did wear a gas mask. But the idea of flying around through space typically requires faster than light travel.
Hey I'm just asking for clarification purposes. I know he was taught to breath in space by Mongul a while after the DOS saga, and batdude told me in a discussion we were having that Supes was incapable of flight back then(I was under the impression that Supes WAS capable of it at the time). If I had any concrete info I wouldn't have asked nvr. Anyway, what issue/are did the events you're talking about take place?

That makes sense, but what issue/arc is it from?
SUPERMAN: EXILE is a worthwhile read for any kind of Superman fan. Both pre- and post-Crisis aficionados will find something to like in this story. And hey, it occurs prior to Superman's exaggerated death, so that's a plus either way you look at it. Collected here are SUPERMAN (second series) #28-30, #32-33, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #451-456, ACTION COMICS ANNUAL #2, and ACTION COMICS #643 (all from 1988-89)... a good chunk of reading that will keep you busy. Almost 300 pages for only fifteen bucks is an anomaly in today's overpriced trade paperback market. The creators list consists of writers George Perez, Dan Jurgens, and Jerry Ordway, and artists Curt Swan, Mike Mignola, Kerry Gammill, and others.

Cool, I'll check it out.
Ok Jun, I just started looking at ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN 451, and(at least for THAT issue) he was using a teleportation belt to jump abound in space...
Keep in mind I JUST started looking, so there may be an instance of FTL travel for him in another book since I've only seen the one. I'll post any instances I find though since I'll have all the necessary issue's soon.

🤨
Yeah, I never said he couldn't fly during Byrne's arc. I was more than likely referring to his 1938 appearance.
Hell, Byrne's Superman was still doing extremely impressive stuff. Surviving being thrown into a red sun TWICE, lifting a mountain that was said to be able to crush Metropolis, smashing an asteroid that could have destroyed Earth, flying between galaxies, etc.
He wasn't exactly a pussy back then.
Originally posted by darthgooberThere should be something, though its been a long time since I read the issues.

Also, why did you start with that issue, rather than the first issues listed?
I'll try to think of other arcs he did still like that.
