We banned him because we're just biased fanboys who run the forum like dictators, obv. 👆
Trying to read a Vertigo story from three years ago called "Bodies", about the same body being investigated in four different time periods. The concept seemed interested, but they hit you over the head with so much political crap it becomes hard to ignore.
Right at the start, you've got a S.W.A.T. commander in a New York ghetto talking about how "The racist's will not win." Mentions all the different immigrants over history who came to the area, and finally removes swat gear to reveal *DUN DUN DUNNNN* a woman Muslim. Then her internal monologue spins to her partner being transparent because he wants a promotion, a raise, and to get in her pants, not necessarily in that order.
Jump to Jack the Ripper's time period in England, and a detective finds two gay men, using every ancient derogatory name in the book. One of them is murdered, and nobody cares.
And it just goes on like that. I mean, I don't fault a little pandering for a target audience, but who the heck do they think that audience is? Antifa?
Originally posted by PhilIt really is pretty amazing that the guy has to consciously nerf his speed in fear of causing irreparable damage to spacetime itself.

...Almost as amazing as him resisting time+matter manipulation by continuously increasing his speed.
Speedblitz ftw keeps being expanded to mean different things, lol.
Joe Casey [the guy who brought us all-out owaw Supes] was way ahead of his time, when he had Superman use his speed to casually move planets in and out of Universes:

Can't access the scans right now, but I see Frankenstein in Gotham City Monsters. Can't wait 🙂

Casey: "Alright, fellas... We're going to open this issue with Superman saving the Omniverse!"
Creative team: "But Joe, that doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the story. Why would we..? How can Superman possibly..!?"
Casey: "Vibrating!!!"
Creative team: "But Joe, that doesn't make any sen..."
Casey: "Vibrating... Like a motherf*cker!!"
Creative team: "Genius!"

"What if Superman was present during the Incursions?"
I'd imagine someone like Reed would absolutely be able to detect each planet's vibrational frequency. And as long as Superman was given that info as well, he could have conceivably prevented the incursion fiasco by using the same technique as in the scan you posted. mmm
He doesn't even need Reed. He can hear the whole Multiverse's vibrations and detected Darkseid's abstract frequency on the spot, then cancelled him out.
That's Grant Morrison's Superman for you, lol.

Speaking of which, older posters still remember when losing to Superman was considered a low feat for Darkseid.
Good times.
