He had to get used to being in that environment in general. If they just breathed Oxygen then Lois wouldn't need the breatherI guess we're done here
Originally posted by juggermanwhich versions are these? I've seen Superman hold his breath for a really, really long time.
Versions of him have been able to. It was not established if this on actually does or not but it's not out of the question
Please point me in the direction of the comic who had a writer dumb enough to portray Superman (or anyone) breathing in space.
Reeve's version had no trouble being in space for extended periods, could even talk in space.
Though they changed that for Returns, as he needed his ship to take extended trips into space.
MoS, Superman needs to breathe in order to function. Though I have no idea how long he can hold his breath. Jor-El even mentioned something about Earth's environment being more nourishing; he could have mentioned oxygen directly, I'll check later.

I disagree. Usually someone tanking a hit without budging falls under durability not strength. And the oil rig happened before he started fully using his power and pushing himself as Jor El instructed. Besides it's a comepletely different thing.I don't recall Hancock tanking anything above or very close what Zod can dish out. On the other hand Zod took more than what Hancock has shown to give
Not being hurt is durability. Not moving while a couple tons of train hits you IS a strength feat. I mean, if a 500 lbs sumo wrestler slammed into you and you casually shrugged him aside, you'd consider that a strength feat no? Same here. And in fact, that's a strength feat far greater than any Zod has shown.
As for the oil rig feat, this was already Clark at 33 years of having his powers. Zod has had his powers only a couple of days (which is probably why Clark beat him).
Again, what has Zod done that makes you think he's stronger or tougher?
These Kryptonian's can't be in space forever, and it's pretty clear that they breathe like other living organisms. Didn't Zack Snyder point out that his version of Superman can't just go flying through space for prolonged periods and hold his breath indefinitely? It was in the same interview where he said that his Superman can't lift continents and shit IIRC.
Also, Kryptonian's never indicated the ability to use telepathy in a way to counter X-men telepaths nor did they show any psychic defenses. They were able to invade the minds of Kal/Lois but I'm going to attribute that to technology until proven otherwise. It's just too radical from the standard Kryptonian powerset. That being said, it is possible I guess, I never came across material from Zack confirming one way or another. I just find it highly unlikely since we only saw them invade his mind on their ship and never again.
Edit: Tried googling the article but I only found one on CBM:

"They also touch on Superman's strength, saying that he has limits, 'he can't fly through space for an infinite amount of time."
Meh.
