Heat vision has actually been referred to as Superman's most powerful attack in the past.

Originally posted by -Pr-Of this I have no doubt. But I still don't see it on GB level. GB has been used successfully against characters beyond herald (eg, Galactus).
...heat vision has been strong enough to one-shot heralds in the past, so it is a formidable weapon when employed.
Originally posted by D-BlockYour comment reminds me of Superman's final, desperate blows against Doomsday before DD killed him. 'Twas fisticuffs, indeed not HV.
I agree with Mindship I don't see Superman going to HV when his back is against the wall.

...but that isn't something that is a knock against his heat vision, since Superman's strength has made Thor shit his pants, and he has a history of consistenly doing feats of strength that would make Thor [and his fans] masturbate endlessly.
Once Superman turns up the dials, heat vision rivals the Godblast, and easily at that. Its only saving grace for Heat Vision not blatantly exceeding it is the Galactus feat.
Yes, it's a bit sad that Thor's ultimate attack is something that doesn't exceed Superman's secondary power showings, but that's how it is.

Mmmmmmm... No

warmed the earth by a few degrees. 😗umm.. bn described by hyperbole to be hotter then the center of the sun even though he gets his power from the sun and his heat vision is only a byproduct of said energy and scientist can only theorize the suns internal heat but cannot actually measure such heat in a laboratory let alone supes heat vision in under controlled condition.
i mean how can a scientist with a straight face say that while standing next to supes and his heat vision. 😐
Don't read many Superman comics, do you?
Originally posted by PhilosophíaIf you had any proof that Superman could easily rival the godblast, you probably would have posted it.

It's a bit sad that you actually believe that. The only thing I'm curious about is what exactly led you to believe this.
Originally posted by ODGWell then, here's what we're going to do, if you're in agreement. How about you post every feat that you consider singificant for the godblast [without leaving out context, of course, because then I'm going to have to call you on it 🙂], and then I'll try to match every one of them with heat vision feats? If, by any chance there are high-end heat vision feats that I feel the godblast hasn't presented itself as equivalent to I will, of course, post them aswell.

Deal?
I'm asking you to post feats of a specific ability, and you're saying you don't want to because this will turn into a 'godblast respect thread'?
Really?
Like I said, I will do my best to provide equivalent heat vision feats for all of the Godblast's on panel shown abilities, as long as you post them.
But that requires your participation, too, and not backing off, and going into the highest of the highest [Galactus, which I will address along with the others but let's get to the others, shall we?]. Let's get some perspective, no?
Or are we going to argue, again, how the discussion will go?
Because all I'm asking you is to simply show me all of the feats. And I will counter all of the feats.
That's called an informative debate.
