IIRC, Batman once threatened him with matchsticks and he backed down.

That was in DC new frontier which is non canon. It was said once by wally that an exploding car would kill him though.

Zod beat the phuck out of MM in today's Superman/Wonder Woman.

Although, it was implied that the heat of the desert (where Zod was found) affected MM.

Guys, be on topic.

Really?

😂

I can't wait to see CitizenBane's reaction over this.

The heat of the desert had nothing to do with it. It was the flames from MM using his heat vision--which only shows how stupid it is that MM HAS heat vision.

At any rate, flames aside, the overall implication in this book is that Kryptonians > Martians. Apparently, the DCU hasn't settled this yet, but I know where my money would be.

Well... that ends that...

Also lol at MM just being weak to heat in general now.

Nah, not that. The scene which I am talking about stands out in my memory, I am simply unable to recall the exact issue where it happened. It was a Pre-Flashpoint comic though, so don't know if that applies here. Honestly though, the way J'onn has handled fire in the past almost borders on the way Superman handles magic/kryptonite at times; either it is a super fatal weakness or he can power through even quantitatively extreme scales of said weakness(in his case fire).

Yeah, you're right.

But its quite idiotic that a being that's weak to fire has heat vision.

I really wish they had rebooted MM as the DCAU version, and kept him in the JLA. DC has way too many Kryptonian-type power sets, but DCAU MM was quite a unique hero that really fit well into the JL.

I don't think that has happened in canon. But yeah, J'onn fluctuates wildly when it comes to fire even under a single writer. Sometimes he could get killed by an exploding car and then he helps lifting a city sized chariot while being on fire.

And Zod nearly killed J'onn as Trevor states here.

😂

lol, J'onn.

There is that and the whole feeling trough Trinity War in which everybody is worried about a rogue Superman.

Including MMH who is supposed to be the counter for Superman.

Yeah, he was like "Wut, Johns isn't writing this title?" This is more hilarious if you combine this with this.

"Me am stronger than superman!!!!!"

Don't worry champ, soon you'll whine again why nobody remembers you're as powerful as superman.

Well, it's not often that a thread's premise is answered so definitively in the comics themselves. I approve. 🙂

Because J'onn weakening himself purposefully and then being caught off-guard would automatically translate to a fight fight Superman?

Superman > Matchsticks > Manjobber
