thats why i said he was at the begining of his power losing process when owning firestorm. he was still depowered tho.the metal man were able to effect him slightly he didnt want to fight. but when he said screw it he owned them combined while they were all holding him. and then when they composed themselves into a huge being he raped them.
the robots i mean the robots at the ice fortress. he beat the living hell out of them physically yeah but he felt pain and he stated it.
the ice fortress wasnt a big deal because afterwards in the next panel those mercenaries blust the entire ice cave without much trouble with only their guns so it wasnt anything unique.
basically he was using his last powers and everything he got when punching the time barrier. he doesnt have reserves or something like that. it was simply a fency way to state he is using all powers left in him. and yes it caused him to age but come on. cant break some ice cave entrence that guards blust with easy? but then bruise the time and punch into the future while altering events and sending shocwaves thru the time?
I was confirming it was when he could still fly. Also, I disagree on the term "depowered." That seems like you're actually powerless. I prefer the term "weakened," just sayin'.
Yep, he owned them twice after saying he didn't want to hurt them, but he didn't have time.
It's been a while since I read it, but if they were made from Kryptonian tech/designs, Kryptonian technology has shown to be quite powerful on multiple occasions, capable of giving Superman a fight. So that's not necessarily a bad showing considering how weakened he was.
Again, been a while since I read it, but like I pointed-out, that would really only be one bad showing, since the robots very well were more powerful than you think. For all we know he was trying to conserve power.
How does he not have reserves if he was gradually losing his powers? That's the very definition of "reserves." The way you're wording it, he should've been immediately powerless when coming to the 20th century. But he wasn't.
And what? So him gradually turning old from the strain isn't evidence of him using-up his reserves? So basically you're arguing he's inconsistent because you keep bringing-up the one likely legitimate example you've got of him looking bad. While still with most of his power, he owned Firestorm with a casual blow in his direction. While severely weakened, he owned the Metal Men twice(once when they were more powerful than normal), jumped to the Moon, and punched his way through time. You argue because he didn't break through ice, and he was hurt by robots, which very well could be more powerful than you think, as him being "so inconsistent?"
