Ordway did.
Rucka did.
etc.These are many of the longest running writers on post Crisis Superman[even without the others I didn't mention]. In fact, if you line them up on the years they were writing Superman, they would completely if not damn near carry us from 1985 till today with one of them on Superman. [Johns is still on Superman, Giffen and Jurgers were both on Superman books recently also. etc]
If a few others come along and don't casually mention it somewhere doesn't make it stop existing.
If a writer hops on to Thor and he doesn't shoot lightning for an arc, we don't suddenly pretend that shit doesn't exist.
It's part of his character in canon.
Just like Superman vaulting up his power based on anger/stress/will/desire.
Every time you see Superman doing crazy things like walking through the magic barrage and reality warping of Blaze like it's not happening, stepping up to fight Doomsday, or slapping Imperiex probes in half like they were made of paper, it is the result of this particular part of him. He gets upset and stops holding back.
It is written into the backbone of his continuity post crisis as solidly as Freeze Breath is.
This entire position is a grasp at straws and completely undefendable.
Get over it.
Nope, it's part of his character for specific writers, not for every writer, which is the point. So writers haven't written them that way, and they care just as much canon weight as the ones that have. You can't pick and choose which writers you feel right more canon superman stories... doesn't work that way. DC embedded their writers the ability to write canon stories about superman, and that's exactly what they have done. No amount of wishing every writer wrote him that way changes that.
