So Supes is airborn AND Green Lantern's helping... NOT A LEGITIMATE STRENGTH FEAT FOR SUPES.
...why is this still being debated

I like going down that road, it balances it out because so many seem to think Supes is always just going around wrecking any and everything.

He's pulling that Base. And what what were your exact words minutes ago...

Besides, did you not read the first panel of the second scan...
"And as I discovered some time ago, when I LIFT an object while I'm flying, there's something other than strength at work."

as it stands, he did lift half of a book with infinite pages. with no flight strength.

"And as I discovered some time ago, when I LIFT an object while I'm flying, there's something other than strength at work."A one time showing that far exceeds anything else we've seen from him. Thus, just as much SvFL as Hulk's sphere's feat and Herc and Thor repairing a rip in space by punching each other's hands from opposite sides.

superman's strength is supplemented with levitation since some things he are too heavy or un-liftable for him.

Originally posted by fangirl101not to be presumptuous but, can you show the scan of that please? that feat screams of writer retardation.
Then how did he pick up the book with infinite pages? He wasn't flying. And he knew that he could pick it u. It's not like he was going to try and see if he could.

No I"m sorry mister great debator. The base isn't heavy. I'm needing to see him LIFT something that would require super Strength. Something at least twice his body weight Even then, A strong normal man can do that for a time. You have nothing.
If you're wanting a better view of the inside, here's Supes checking the place out with X-Ray vision and commenting on how huge the place is...

And there is also something else you forget, when you lift something that weights infinity, even half of it, is still infinity. If Superman were using say, half of his strength from flight to lift his half of the spectre, his muscles would still have been lifting a quarter of infinity, which is STILL infinity. which means the book feat doesn't stand alone.

Except that Supes HAD to have help accomplishing the feat, thus no matter what real world logic might otherwise tell us, he's obviously unable to lift a book with an infinite number of pages on his own.
And he still lifted a book with infinite pages. The feat stands as does his spectre feat. Two very similiar feats. he may have needed help from two very similiar beings, but I can't think of any lifting feats more impressive. even if they are with someone else's help.

First off, I thought you were talking about the contraption he was in. And 2ndly, he had trouble lifting that base with his flight alone. So how can his flight contribute anything signifigant when we've already seen the upper limit of his "flight" lifting power.

Of course he had trouble back then, but Supes's powers have increased across the board from that period. Example, back then Supes couldn't even hit lightspeed while flying and now he can hit multiples of it.So that ONE valid unquantifiable feat of pure strength to his credit. Hence, SvFL. The Spectre feat doesn't count because it wasn't a feat of pure strength.
