could somebody please answer me if Supes can really stay in the sun for an indefinate period of time. I'm hearing conflicting stories of it actually affecting him to the point of pain when he's been in there too long. I've also heard he can stay in the sun no matter how long.
Also, I would really call it spite... Thanos has a lot more versatility at his disposal and superman has a lot of weakness. Thanos magic at his disposal as well as knowing supes weakness to Red Sun and Krypt. Now creating said things while in the sun nobody really knows how that would go. Are there any on panel accounts of Supes being exposed to Krypt while getting a sun amp and how that went?

DC 1,000,000 says mainstream Supes can stay in the sun for 15,000 years with no problem. That was '98. Nothing's been written to contest that.

Thanks big buddy
Which comic is it then that I've seen scans of where Supes is in pain from being in the sun too long? what was the deal with that?

That's from his OWAW sundip...the drawing looks like he's a skeleton. But if you read what his thoughts are...he's pretty coherent.

read the book he was saying all kinds of crazy things while he was plunging himself into the sun "burn I help lois father no " that was a string of lines showing that sups mind and emotions are really intact for a period of being in the sun.

Do you know who I am? I never make up numbers. I have proven time and time again that my numbers come from either pure calculation or stated scientific facts. I was using E=mc^2 along with the fact that a 20 megaton bomb destroys everything within a 10mi radius (20mi diameter). The latter fact is based off real scientific nuclear experiments.And Supes is fast enough to one shot him before he acts.
based on misguided assumptions about what your talking about.
and the whole nuclear experiments that your talking about happened on earth in our environment not space and imperlex energy isn't nuclear energy.

exactly with out the option to change the venue then thanos is going to have to pull out something i haven't seen him do before. Still don't know though Odin (you know the guy who destroys galaxies) couldn't put him down efficiently. to try and say sups can one shot him is because you either hate thanos or are a superman fanboy. Superman isn't able to one shot jobbersied while sun amped. we have proven that most defiantly it was not all of the imperlex energy pushing against sups and there is no idea of how much energy was being used (brainac was shown not to be able to use the energy as efficiently as he could have ex. imperlex probes vs brainac machines) so really all the other side has is nothing because there is no real way to measure the OWAW feat with out huge speculation which isn't there.
all in all if you strip thanos of everything he would have at any point in time i can see how you would say a sun dipped sups can beat him. Its like the people who make thread were sups doesn't have super speed.
minor thing but did i mention how in OWAW when superman was sun dipped his sups had his mouth open with a look of terror on his face. Also after his little manic episode he was then filled with a murderous rage (which subsided) all this to say superman is very much effected by going into the sun. also another point/question would would either see in the sun. I don't think x-rays would be able to pentrate much of the plasma in the sun i don't know or think thanos would have a much easier time. in light of that they might both be just stumpling around for the next 100 years trying to find each other. the sun is a big place.

Like Libra, whose mind aligned with a greater consciousness, Supes was in danger of losing his humanity, or at least his mind was in danger of gravitating to a higher consciousness - kind of like what happened to the Quantum Superman, where he's evolved so far above conflict, emotion etc that he has to drug himself to be halfway human.

Oh my god ... that would explain A LOT. If that is the case, his stomach is basically a miniature Sun. He must photosynthesize, like a plant creating biological food, which his stomach then converts into pure energy. In fact he's way more efficient that a sun, cos fusion only converts about 10 % of mass into energy. The solar battery ins't working as a catalyst its working as a mass provider. The solar absorbing cells work like a coal miner, which provides the fuel that his stomach turns into pure enrgy. If he works like a plant, this must be biological molecules like C02 and oxygen. This would even explain Sun dipping as his photosynthetic cells would be working overtime in the sun.The extra sunlight in close proximity would he yields carbohydrates at a far greater rate, which his "stomach" then converts. He'd have to be actually inside the sun for this to work, as there isn't much carbon and oxygen in space. There are though, huge amounts in the sun, like literally trillions of tons of the stuff.
