Haxx items vs. Heat-Vision...

All too common back then.

First fight with Captain Marvel pre crisis, he hit him with it for four/five panels. Doesn't even seem to notice.

Mongul straight up said that HV would've crippled him. He was straight up chopping General's arms off with HV when astro force couldn't.

The remake of Superman and the Forever People visiting Apokolips, he couldn't affect random robots.

Hunter/Prey, hv did jack all to missiles.

Right, where he straight up destroyed Henshaw's body in one HV blast?

Might not have been weak, but it sure wasn't the trump card it's shown as now. A Superman vs Shazam fight today could credibly end in hv, game over.

It wasn't his trump card then and it isn't now.

Wanted to find scans, but hell with google, not digging into my comic stash for scans, and Abhi's already seen it all anyways, so..

A few other examples:

Mongul vs Kyle and Superman. Remember when Kal was hving Monguls face at the end, before Kyles locomotive construct to the back? Not all that effective.

Uh-huh.

Nor was the same against Anointed One, back in Morrison's JLA vs Ancient League, He was HVing AO's face, and it didn't seem to make a difference.

That was in 2003 actually.

Compare that with taking Zod's kid down, with a full on HV assault. That just didn't happen back then.

^^^cue the scans of HV being awesome.

I'm totally not trying to goad Abhi into posting awesome scans to use on my next Superman bender. 🤡

-Mjolnir
-Jarnbjorn
-Wolverine's claws/skeleton
-Cap's shield
-Surfer's Board
-Galactus' Helm/armor
-Dianna's Bracers
-Hal's Ring
-Fate's Helmet
-Miracle Machine

And by 'most powerful HV', I mean something like this:

How goes it?

some of those items i guess are made of pure energy, the hv might do much to those. But caps shield, the adamantium skeleton, mjolnir,janbjorn, the bracers all suffuer damage.

^^^Cap’s shield would lose the straps attached to it, yeah. That counts as damage. 😂

None of those items would not even have a scratch on them from Superman heat vision.

Superman's most powerful hv is over a thousand times hotter than the core of the sun. That's hotter than any of these characters has experienced. Thus it damages all.

5000 degrees max ain't doing Jack to any of those objects.

Surfer's board is weird because while it can easily survive in the heart of a sun, Firelord's regular blast from his staff has destroyed it. Supes heat vision can damage it but wouldn't really matter b/c Surfer can always reform it or just create another.
