Superman (DCnU) vs. Superman (Pre-Flashpoint)

I would like to shed some light on something. Don't understand why people are using Superman being koed by Hellspont as a low showing. The last time Hellspont appeared, it was stated on panel that the guy could rip stars in half.

Eh, that's hyperbole. The feat of him beating Superman at his planet-pushing heights is still valid, though, as it happened under the same writer, issue apart and with the planet-pushing feat showing up as a direct consequence of Superman's beating at Helspont's hands.

That puts Hellspont on Drax's level.

The last time his weakness was used against him, Thanos had his heart pulled out by a glorified Wolverine. But even that's better than Captain America and friends sonning him to his knees. lmao

If I were you, I'd start drawing my own comics.

Thanos had his back turned and that was a specific weakness with regards to one character. I am not citing k-nite exposure instances.

Or having his jaw broken and leaving the scene. That's bytch status. Standing up to three universe saving teams and not being ko'd is awesome.

lol, i came back after about 24 hours and the forum went to shit.

Thread's veering off topic big time.

Pre-Flashpoint Superman is essentially better in every single way in spite of not having a quantifiable strength feat on par with DCnU.

it's a cool strength feat, but i think it's more of a going forward type thing more so than "helspont concussed that guy with a mere backhand?" even it that's not the case, EVERYONE who reads anything past that issue will be thinking about him being able to press earth mass. they won't forget

now that superman has a good understanding of his power levels I hope he beats the tar out of helspont when they meet again.

Pre Flashpoint Superman was shown to be stronger than other Kryptonians and high heralds and they seemed to be peers only because he was holding back. They haven't (i'm behind in titles) made this distinction between superman and other kryptonians in DCNU, so does that mean all the other kryptonians can do this (bench the earth for 5 days) as well?

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Superman can bench press the earth. So what? He will have struggles and he will get his ass beat. Anyone who has read comics for more than 5 issues should know shit like this happens all the time. It won't become his average. It will be among those classic high-end feats people bring to the table when discussing characters operating at their best. At least I hope thats what becomes of it.

This is hardly the first planetary level feat performed by a top tier/high herald, the only difference is that this one provided numbers.

The crazy thing about this is, if the Earth is knocked out of orbit again and Superman fails at moving it back in orbit...I'm sending hateful male to DC.
