Anyone who says Superman has too many powers needs to be straight up slapped. Repeatedly.

how many powers does he have?

by my count, he's pushing 25 if you count the different eye powers as individuals.

i like the webbing idea someone posted for Spidey; it would be awesome if he had webbing that emitted some kind of sedative. Poison would be out of character, though.

not as many as some others.

even if you wanted to break it down, it would still make a lot of other heroes (even heralds) excessive even by superman's standards.

though i have no idea where you got 25 from.

Too many varies on the person. However most top tiers have tons of powers. Pre-crisis Supes had them as the plot demand.

i stopped at around 16 being as nitpicky as possible *shrug*

----------------------

if the ability has nothing to do with the others, i guess you can call it seperate

i.e. super strength and durability go hand in hand, as well as his physique allowing him to go faster than any human could, even arctic breath can be lumped up there. heat vision is a new set of abilities not part of the super sense bundle, which would make that 3 right there (4 actually, he is almost as fast as the flash, and even though despero/doomsday/darkseid/mongul/etc are touted as being stronger, they certainly arnn't nearly as fast)

you could keep his various abilities to about 6

If wolverine have 7, I don't see anything wrong with superman having 16.

wolverine

healing, senses, strength, enhanced skeletal density, claws, and ability to withstand cold (adamantium bonding amping his physical powers, not separate in my book)

no need to stretch all his individual powers out

spiderman with an adamantium sword, weapons training, a utility belt and a stealth suit would be !#(#* brutal. O_O

What the hell? I count 10 SM powers: strengh, speed, durabilty, healing factor, heat vision, cryobreath, superhearing, micro/telescopic vision, x-ray vision and flight.

I'm not including that T-vo or singing to destroy energy forms nonsense. Still, they'd add only two powers.

I think wolverine should get more claws to complete the charatcer.

i counted everything that's super about him. it's around 20 or so if you count things as individuals and not as byproducts. Like PG said, technically durability and strength go hand in hand, but i was counting them as separate powers... that's how i came up with the 20 or so.

I still cant see 20. can you list them?

I'm just going to count Superman's 'normal' powers, those that he uses regularly:

There's strength, durability, speed (including reflexes and the like), accelerated healing, flight, super hearing, super vision powers, heat vision, freeze breath, and normal super breath.

That's only like 11 powers.

Speed: running/reflex/reaction
Flight
invulnerability: it's two powers no matter what ppl say it has bn since the creation of comics only recently nerds started tryin to apply real world logic.
Strength
Super hearing
Super smell
telescopic vision
x ray vision
infrared/energy vision
3d vision
microscopic vision
heat vision
arctic breath
regeneration
solar battery(limited energy manipulation)
Stamina
Oxygen recycling
Whistle power
Kryptonian latent TP
energy/psionic aura: protects materials to keep from collapsing under its own weight
Static hand rubbing power
intangibility via vibration

Or perhaps the ability to slide the middle claws all the way down his forearms so they snikt out his elbows.

That's what I got too. Forgot about normal superbreath, though i'd include thta in strengh.
