Heat vision was the only attack that had an effect on Black Adam.. Mongul, who could tank Supermans punches, claimed a full dose of HV would kill him. In Hunter/Prey, his HV was the only thing that actually phased Doomsday, after he evolved past energy users like Doomsday and the Radiant. And didn't Superman penetrate Darkseids impenetrable barrier in Final Crisis with his HV?
If not for CIS, he could probably win almost every fight with a comparable brick using HV.

Yeah, that's his optic blast which has been described as and portrayed for the vast majority of his career as concussive force. Heat, at best, is probably a side effect from the impact of the blast. It certainly isn't the primary component.

OMG...Jake, "its stated on panel Human Torch went Nova". What more do you want?
Did you see who said it? Wasn't it a random cop who said it? What does a random cop actually know about superheroes and their powerlevels? If anything, the cop was simply overhyping it, to strike fear into the hearts of men and pull them back. LoL!

I feel pretty much safe to say that Sentry is more powerful than Supes, especially his energetic powers that were described as being capable of destroying worlds (while holding hack).If Sentry going all out was unable to damage Hulk with heat based attacks...I can't see Superman doing any different with heat vision.
Yes, Sentry can destroy planets and even more.
But how can you think that he went totally out in his fight against WW Hulk?
Yes, he went totally out in that particular fight, but his power level was damn low, because of his agoraphobia and it was only enough to start busting the city.
And Hulk had problems dealing even with that.
For more information, read my huge post in the "Sentry VS Superman" thread, where I wrote few things about Sentry's power level.
Cyclop's optic blasts aren't heat based but there have definitely been times in continuity when it's been treated like heat vision. That's just sloppy writing though imo. Tbf, it was once stated that heat is a side effect of his optic blast, IIRC he heated up an object by using kinetic energy or something.

Yeah, at best it's a side effect of his discharge but it's not the primary source of the energy.
It was a concentrated Nova Blast further empowered by Storm's lightning bolt. All in all, a pretty good durability feat for Hulk as he wasn't even phased.
He also withstood Sentry's energy projection, even when concentrated on him. Say what you will about the character, but he's still crazy powerful, undoubtedly an elite in raw power (Possibly higher at times) even without the Void. At least when confident.

Superman's heat vision can extend to the moon and literally cannot be measured by any scientific means in the DCU and they're able to measure the temperature of the sun. He's broken through barriers Green Lanterns couldn't with his heat vision, powered huge engines capable of moving planets, etc.His vision absolutely shits on Cyclops.
Ooookkkkaaayyyy...Gladiator heat vision has been stated as being hotter than temperatures of stars, even stalemated Tyrant eye blast attack temporarily and he stool couldn't drop a weakened Hulk with his heat vision.
Green Lantern? Their constructs isn't as powerful as people tend to make them out to be...people from Lobo, Grundy to numerous of other has busted them. They have uber showing but majority of the time...Naah.
How much energy was required to powered this engine?

What? Didn't Gladiator burn Hulk so greatly with his Heat Vision, that you could literally see Hulks heart, before he managed to grab Gladiator and start healing again?
And these are two hours of Superman's Heat Vision in the face! Hulk won't be able to endure that.

Gladiator is also significantly inferior to Superman, so any semblance of a point you were trying to make is lost. Superman has better heat vision feats than Gladiator and he wouldn't have been merced like Glads was, either.
WTF. Lobo and Grundy are pretty powerful beings so them breaking GL constructs don't, as a result, make constructs weak.
Well, they were designed to move planets, so I'd imagine a lot.
Originally posted by JakeTheBankWhile I agree with this, I agree with him if his point is that Lantern constructs, or better said Lanterns in general, are not what they used to be.
