Need to get my hands on Superman 15 uhuh
This is why I stopped collecting on a regular basis years ago: too much pressure, man, to keep up, just too much... moodynuts
Reading all you fan boys, I realize why so many people hate superman. First off, Captain Marvel is the reason Superman is so stupidly overcharged. Since in the 1940's Captain Marvel popularity trump the dork of steel DC in a frantic haze started powering superman up to match Captain Marvel. A lot of DC characters started off more powerful than superman. Sad part is how DC sued Fachett Comics and brought an end to Captain Marvel for copyright laws. Even though Captain Marvel is nothing like Superman. I hate Superman for the fact that DC weakens the rest of their roster to make him the most powerful. Lastly Supermans powers come from yellow sun light since the sun light is only yellow going through the atmosphere of the sun outside of earth or in the sun itself SUPERMAN IS POWERLESS!!

okay, i'll bite
for the most part you are correct. i was really hoping with the new 52 they would update superman's power origin and get away from that whole yellow sunlight thing, it's one of their dumber ideas.

I side with him, superman should be powered by a more credible power source instead of the sun, like... the force. 🙄
BTW, nice sig. I wish youtube hadn't removed the whole clip. Man that was fun to watch.

One megaton yields over 4000 terajoules: more energy than the whole Earth will use for hundreds of years, at least. Seems to me, in order to survive a one megaton blast, one would have to counter 4000 terajoules with an equal amount of energy, at least.Thusly...
- On a sunny day, the amount of sunlight per square centimeter yields 0.1345 joules every ten seconds.
- An adult male has about 1.8 square meters of total skin surface area.
- If Superman were totally naked, he could perhaps absorb about 2500 joules in ten seconds. He needs 1.6 trillion times this amount to counter the energy of a 1 megaton bomb (4000 trillion divided by 2500).
- 1.6 trillion x 10 seconds is about 500,000 years. This is how long Kal El has to sunbathe to absorb enough power to survive 1 (one) "typical" nuclear explosion.To survive a 20-kiloton A-bomb (like the Fat Man, I believe; about 1/50th the power of a 1-megaton bomb), Superman (eg) would still have to absorb solar energy for about 10,000 years.

I agree, like that whole reactor thing on critical condition.

Thanks for sharing this numbers 🙂

I realize this is your lame attempt at being a smartass but it is nonsenical that radiation from a yellow sun would empower superman while radiation from a red sun would totally nulify him.
So yeah, the force is a whole lot more credible.
