Superman question

Everyone in Pre-Crisis DC was exactly as smart as the plot called for.

This is why in one issue Lex Luthor can build a time machine out of junk, and in the next he lets Superman escape some trap he built by completely ignoring what's going on

Wacky era, really

so his cape invulnerable

and why do people think he has telekenisis when it has never been truly stated in comics

i think they mean the telekinesis which allows him carry large objects

basically, anything he touches becomes surrounded by a telekinetic field so he can move the whole thing and not just break off the part he's holding

but he doesnt have that ability hes just that strong.

i thought superboy had that though, its called tactile telekensis and superman hasnt been stated as having it.

Hmm this may be taboo I dunno but would really like it answered cos I only kinda picked up one issue ages ago and was like wtf.

Superman is blue? What, How, When did he turn blue? Are his powers now superior or is he back to his original state now? Really would like some info on that.

Cheers.

That was a temporary version, they changed his look and powers for some reason, but it got changed back a few years later.

The Byrne Superman was stated as having a telekinetic field. It was meant to explain why Superman can lift a building without it breaking apart.

This is also why Superman says that things seem lighter while he is flying.

i think that was retconned. but like i said. there are characters in DC who have that ability and its known, so why would his not be. And why would he be consiered one of the strongest superheros by DC if it was mostly telekensis

I think its just somthing people throw out to try to make sense of his comic book ability to have things not fall apart while lifting.

Well, it was also used to explain Superboy's ability of contact telekinesis.

yea it was actually a listed and known superboy power though. well the same cant be said for superman

ROFL

Oh yah Superman Blue...His powers were superior to his normal power sets even after he got the upgrades.

Blue Supes came to be after the events of Zero Hour when a sun eater targeted our sun and Supes run out of powers after the sun was "gone." After that situation was fixed his powers didn't come back and he began to arrange for different ways to regain them. In the end he overpowered himself--if I remember right. There was also a red Supes.
