Who could lift more?

plus what do you mean by "contained"?

PLUS I'm not a Superman fan ask Pr or Phil

I will

The black hole containment field was breaking apart. That was superman entire purpose... to prevent it from completely shedding... holding on to it until the martian found a way to prevent the containment field from rupturing. I am pretty sure someone have the scans... I read it a while back. I can try to get guy to post it for you. I don't want to say what was happening at the end because I am pretty sure people are going to say that I am low balling but the only thing that I am going to say is that the containment field "almost" ruptured completly.

I know that physical strength is involved but there are numerous of other things involved as well.

Do you have a lifting feat? Why is it so hard to come by this?

like?

we have plenty of lifting feats. just because he's flying following it, you love to discount them even without evidence.

and i named one.

No... I'm not kidding. That is why I am asking for a lifting feat. What is so hard to understand?

First of all Superman has already lifted and tossed city sized objects into orbit. Not to mention manually working the Mageddon Wheels with his feet providing the only traction. The wheels were powering a machine that was bigger than the solar system.

😂 If Magneto lifted an island it was against Earth's gravity. Superman has pushed the whole damn planet out of its orbit, basically against the Sun's gravity well. Taking into account the astronomical weight of the planet, the person that can do that, can generate more than enough force to lift an island the size of a large city.

You asked what his lifting capacity is, he can lift well in excess of an island. When you consider his tactile telekinesis, his capacity goes up since he can maintain the integrity of whatever he is lifting.

Superman.

And him lifting infinite weight - which he did, as there's no proof within the story context or actual direct statement to say otherwise - quite the contrary - is valid, no matter how much sadness it provokes to the haters. In fact, that whole story was about Superman being the ultimate hero and doing impossible things, such as, at the end of the story, being capable of containing the bleed when nobody except the Monitors, who are writer analogues, should be able to.

"They were wrong. Superman can."

He doesn't have TTK anymore.

Weird that, eliminate the reason it was included in the first place & you would think it was a useful power to keep.

Where was this "infinitely" heavy book before Superman lifted it?

on a class 100 bookshelf

It was in some kind of energy field.

Was the energy field located in space?

"Class 100" is practically an infinitesimally smaller term, compared to what Superman lifted. ha-som

"class 100" just means the point on the bell curve that separates the physical strength of characters in and under normal iron man level that cannot routinely military press 100 tons or more, and the characters like thor, superman, etc that can lift thousands of times that weight routinely.

but i kinda see what you're saying. they should make a new term for geniuses though, cause though both reed and batman are indeed geniuses, reed makes batman look like a defective stopwatch ha-som

I love the fact that you've gotten to the point where people don't even need to quote posts from other threads (like ODG did) to contradict your own stance - they have to look no further than your current one.

Do yourself a favor and don't try to make it logical.

Seems to me that if the book was on a planet, then either the planet can support infinite weight or it was merely a hyperbolic statement.

The energy field was suspending the book in the air, and the field itself was a sphere surrounding the book. Iirc the book was housed in a building in Limbo (which is a dimension outside of the DC multiverse).

From the way it was drawn it looked like all the stories written and that will be written were compacted, like the field was acting like a black hole or like the book inside the field was a singularity (since it was drawn as a bright nucleus).

It wasn't on a planet, Limbo is a dimension where all the forgotten things in the DC multiverse end up. It's more like a seemingly limitless garbage site.

Things in limbo weigh less.
