Even at full power, it would take him 18 months to make it to Earth. He tried to catch up to sub light speed dolphins to aid him in getting to earth quicker but wasn't fast enough. He can not achieve the needed speed to cross such distance that even Ms. Marvel could achieve in her sleep...

Although Superman: Lost will run monthly starting in March, it stands separate from the regular Superman titles — Action Comics, Superman, and Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent — and takes place outside regular continuity.
So.....It looks like Superman's teleportation in AC 1050 was Superman using his superspeed and it basically became teleportation
Also, Superman's new powers in AC 1054 was Superman using his bio field
Phillip: Well, at the end of this issue, and going into the next issue, we see a new expression of Superman’s power, which I’m really excited about. Since Superman’s exposure to the new white sun of Warworld. He’s been more powerful than than he’s ever been. We’ve seen him express that in a few different ways already, he can release his stored energy in these big, powerful bursts like explosions. Much like The Flash he’s phasing through solid objects much more easily and freely than he normally does. In Action Comics #1050, we saw him express his super speed in a way that was essentially teleportation. And in that issue, we also saw him extend his bio electric aura in a way that the power that gives him strength and flight we’ve seen him extend that now outside of his body. Similar to the way that was done in All Star Superman, using it to disassemble Luthor’s armour with just a touch. And now in this month’s issue, we see a new expression of his newfound power levels that I don’t think we’ve ever seen in comics before. Again loosely inspired by a moment from All Star Superman, but taken further, much further. And it definitely poses some questions about what Superman could really be capable of now, and I’m super excited about it.

yup. It was pointed out but Carter is having ha difficult time coming to terms with this.
It could be a coincidence, but I wouldn't rule out that this could've been a case of damage control that wouldn't have been implemented if it wasn't for the limitations imposed on Superman in this story.
Currently reading GI Joe the IDW Collection.
What I actually wanted was the World War 3 storyline but I guess that happened in Devils Due/Dreamwave. IDW has been interesting though, the latest story had [Cobra Commander shot through the head and his base nuked.[/spoiler]
And not even in the mainline run.
Kind of like it, a terrorist organization is designed to run in spite of any loss. Take out a leader, they get replaced, take out a base and it barely affects anything.
Of course Baroness and Destro live on, but they're iconic characters while Cobra Commander is just a guy in a mask, ANY ONE could be him.
Originally posted by AstnerIf it were set in the mid-late 80s, it would make sense. That's about how powerful Supes was back in Exile.
In Carver's defense. People tend to be very ambiguous with what is and isn't canon. A few months ago it was very much implied that Superman Lost was canon. No one brought up the non-canonicity of it when it was understood that Superman survived the black hole collapse. But now, all of a sudden, when Superman is limited by the science injected into the story we have an article published in December suggesting that it's taking place out of continuity.It could be a coincidence, but I wouldn't rule out that this could've been a case of damage control that wouldn't have been implemented if it wasn't for the limitations imposed on Superman in this story.
Originally posted by JuntaiYeah, but Martian Manhunter's costume suggested that it takes place in current continuity. If it's out of continuity, so be it.

I doubt it has anything to do with community outcry and damage control. But either way, I am somewhat ashamed to say it makes me that much less interested until the story itself merits exceptional attention like other Elseworlds classics like All-Star Superman, Kingdom Come, Superman: Red Son, JLA: The Nail, etc.
You may not believe me but I was looking forward to a devoted dive into Lois' and Clark's relationship as the beginning of the series was clearly setting up. Whatever. It's just another Elseworlds story now.
Originally posted by Astnerim unconcerned about its canonicity. All I asked was to let the story continue before we jump to any conclusions. Carver was hoping on every sentence as if they set a new standard on Superman’s power levels. I wonder how many times he fapped to his idea that an Amped superman can’t go FTL.

I think the dynamics of their relationships could still be similar to how they are portrayed in this arc.
Mainstream Superman traveled the dc universe in 60 days and here’s he’s contemplating staying away from Lois for decades becuase he’s on the other side of the galaxy.. I’d imagine the same things going through main stream Superman’s head if he was in the same predicament.
