I don’t care what the art depicts. The writer makes it crystal damn clear that Supes was only partially affected by the bomb.
The full blast would have incinerated him. There’s no shame on that. Who the hell survives 50 x supernova.
In any case everyone but Juhnny could potentially either survive or die depending on the writer’s intentions
Originally posted by Branlor Swift👆 That is exactly what happened. The electromagnetic shockwave hit Supes, which threw him back. The radiation from the blast(which came after the shockwave) is what he avoided at all costs, as it would have incinerated him. Point: it's borderline retarded for anyone to act like Supes 'tanked' a 50x supernova across the board, when he merely endured the least dangerous portion of it, and fled from the rest of it. You can't just endure *part* of a blast's totality and say you tanked it across the board. That is phucking idiotic.
The shockwave hit him and threw him back. The "explosion" was the radiation behind it. He tanked the shockwave and got the shit out of the way of the explosion.
Say a nuke went off miles from my house and I was far enough away to only be pushed to the ground by the remainder of the detonation's initial shockwave... If I then proceeded to get up, hop in my Jeep, and drive the opposite direction from the blast's epicenter before any of the heat or radiation from it ever touched me... Does that mean I 'tanked' a nuke? Phuck. No.

He was at the center of the blast and it blasted him away.
A weakened Superman, whose power was drained each second, tanked the Explosion of a 50x Supernova but not all of it's effects. An impressive überfeat, the intention of the writer was clear. The radiation was the most dangerous for him, because he was already poisoned.
Anyway, it's simply retarded to lowball this feat.^^

Change anything you'd like if it makes you feel better. It doesn't change the fact that Superman did not tank the blast in its totality. Not even close.
Is still a pretty good feat, even if We only say that He with stand the electro-magnetic shock wave of an explosion equivalent to 50 SUPER novas. ONLY that makes it pretty ubber. + He was not at peak. IMO 🙂
Originally posted by Rao Kal ElNever said the feat wasn't impressive. What I said is that he clearly did not tank a 50x supernova in its totality(not even close.) He simply endured the initial electromagnetic shockwave it generated, and fled from the rest of the blast.

Me neither. 😛 IMO I think the feat AS IS, is pretty good, but some (not you or anyone in particular) might not think that surviving the electro-magnetic shock wave is a big deal, when in this case it is.

Still, you could fit hundreds of our suns into the type of star that goes supernova, sometimes more.And the Suneater would've presumably digested and used up a lot of the energy from the prior suns too, but even if it didn't, well, Supernovae are just that big.
Here he devours a sun in just that issue.
The plan was to direct all that energy to the core.
Superman was thrown across hundreds of lightyears by that implosion.
That feat is just gargantuan.
