Kingpin > Everyone, makes perfect sense.
Originally posted by AstnerGiven this particular take seems to limit him to sublight speed, reverse time dilation will definitely have some part to play in it. Again, I'm sure it's a necessary limitation for plot's sake. It's just so... underscored??? And it still doesn't explain why he'd pass out from taking a deep breath of CO2 though.
Yeah. Although, admittedly, the "explanation" was a bit jarring because it didn't really explain anything other than Superman's powers varying with- and somehow being connected to gravity. It's a bit of a weird take, but I'm guessing it will be used to explain his flight, superluminal travel, and maybe even time travel (he was lost in space for years, but return before Lois could even notice). Also, we've already gotten an explanation for why his ability to hold his breath varies from story to story: gravity and sunlight.
Originally posted by carver9Seems like it.
If it's gravity based, wouldn't this also include his strength as well?

From what I gather it was a special kind of black hole whose core hadn't collapsed due to the technology used to contain it. But before that technology broke down and the artificial black hole collapsed to a proper black hole Superman managed to get the ship to enter hyperspace just before the collapse. It's not really clear whether he fell into the black hole and it functioned as a wormhole, or whether he was just hurled into space as he got out of hyperspace. Either way, we never see him entering the event horizon.- Superman: Lost #2
Just realized that Superman: Lost #2 also proves that Superman needs to breath...

Yes. We see the ship being torn apart from the inside in #2 as well, but there's no direct evidence of Superman falling into the black hole.

Because the wording implies that it was in the process of being pulled in, not that it had been pulled in.
Then, in the next issue, it attributes Superman was in there due to the black hole

Plus, the fact Superman needed to untying Diana's lasso in fear of pulling others in

So, yeah, I think it should be the former interpretation in your original post
Edit:

^ Clearly Superman survived the singularity. But then... so did the ship since he and the ship both exited intact. So either you characterize it as Superman's physiology contributing to the hyperdrive travel or him withstanding a singularity as feat of extreme durability... along with a ship that matches Superman's durability.
Loving Scalped, even as I hate little things about it. One of those things is about The Catcher.
He's established as a drunk and a bum and probably delusional. And they info dump he's a college graduate and Rhodes Scholar.
No real reason for that reveal imo. I understand why they did it.
So you don't write him off as just a drunken idiot. No sire, he's an f'n rhodes scholar! He's a proven fart smella! Smart fella. Clearly he would have been a world's treasure but for the tragedy of the bottle.
This is how you give credibility to a lunatic. I absolutely despise the convention that educational achievement is used as a proof of "worth". It's lazy writing, and frankly it reinforces the real life notion that anyone who hasn't achieved in higher education is not worth listening to.
Yes! Education is important, but there is a certain "snobbery" to writing off anyone without those feathers in their cap.

Silver Age, there's instances where he didn't need oxygen to survive/function. He also had some of his more outlandish and fantastic feats during this time.
After the SA, he generally needs to breath, but can hold his breath for extended lengths of time, which also varies from writer to writer on how long.

2023 while amplified.
Originally posted by carver9Lamo when he was fighting lex he was sent via wormhole to gazillion light years away and came back in the same panel. This writer stated that Superman may have trouble flying faster than light. So is he really amped ? I don’t even think this is mainstream.
