instead they use other ways to get past editorial like giving time from one moment to the next....

the whole point of retconning Supes so many times is b/c writers fail to abide by what power lvl he is suppose to display..... and it works for a few yrs until someone decides to have him move a planet or travel in space for weeks without breathing.. even though mongul only taught supes breathing techniques and to recycle his air supply to extend his space flight duration...

supes isnt suppose to fly above light speed but superman fanboys would rather apply real life logic then accept simple suspension of disbelief or editorial mistakes and artistic depiction..

True statement and they dont realize that supes is suppose to be at this a certain spot at a certain time, its part of the story. Its not that they're making it seem like he is flying at certain speeds but its just how the story is written.

The thing about this is that people that can actually achieve light speed has at least one statement saying that they can, hell, nova has recently been written in his own comics and he already have a statement saying that he can achieve light speed. Superman doesnt have one statement saying anything about him achieving light speed.

In a comic it was stated that mimic was flying 93000 mps. In a comic it was stated that nova was going light speed. In a comic it was stated that gladiator was flying 100 times the speed of light. In a comic it was stated that flash was fighting at light speed. The only refrence or statement that has been stated about superman speed is when he was racing flash and that was a speed of 2000 mps, anything above that is speculation on fanboys part.

thank you, i'll be here all week pimp slapping fanboyism where ever it can be found..

boxingboxed2

side note some ppl here will try to post scans where it eludes to supes about to reach light speed but never stated.

even the famous superman tantrum after Lex became president.

or supes using circumstances like a binary black hole to help him escape a blk hole..

or the whole prime and supes and original supes flying to oa... also current supes was/is suppose to be far below original Kal-L...

remember ppl suspension of disbelieve we all use it when we watch buck rogers or cap punching rhino or hulk....ect ect ect..

Let me hear, a hells ya!! cause WS said so!!... and thats the bottom line!!

Are you saying that current Supes can travel 25 light years in a matter of minutes?

no. i'm saying he already did.

Just like I was telling pr, everyone that can fly can achieve light speed if we use it the way he's doing.

The list even include rogue and ironman, along with wonderman. Thats just plain out ridiculous.

it's not the superman writer's fault that some tool doesn't know his science. you take each character as they come. superman has broken the light speed barrier several times. you don't like it? tough.

there's nothing (nothing at all) in his powerset that limits him to sublight travel.

seriously. where did you get the idea that there was?

no. i'm saying he already did.

Which version? Alternate timeline Supermen don't count. You're saying that CURRENT Superman has traveled 25 light years in mere minutes? Scans or issue numbers please?

If the main current Superman can do inter-galactic/dimensional travel in minutes, then he can fill in for the Surfer just fine IMO.

Never mind dude I'll just take your word for it. I tried to look up some Superman info and I ended up more confused then ever. Earth 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9; it's just a cluster f**k of Supermen.

yeah, there are a lot of supermen...

That's why when I asked you which one you were talking about I had to make sure it was the current MAINSTREAM Superman.

And to think DC actually gives ink to all of them! I mean you got at least 30 Supermen running around the multiverse and they actually have written about all of them at one point or another! That's amazing. And that's not even counting the pseudo Supermen like Majestic, Apollo and Icon.

just imagine, though: 30 power girls, 30 batgirls, etc... well, 52 actually...
