Revisiting this, I mentioned it has happened, depends on the energy. It happened twice with the Cosmic Rod(from Starman, but used by Star Spangled Kid).And again to Supergirl and Power Girl.
I guess carter will dismiss them because they're "not fights."
Had been taking blasts from Evil Star(more of the fight happened before this) and it made him stronger.
All these instances have a common denominator, "sunlight" or starlight, the stuff that Superman's cells are made to absorb, like a solar panel taking in sunlight.
You'd rarely if ever see him do this against generic energy blasts or other forms of energy, writers don't really treat him as an energy absorbed/drainer, only for sunlight.

Oh is this an attempt to dismiss the times he's absorbed other forms of energy?

This is becoming irritating. Superman isn't absorbing this...

No it's just not really a common occurence, more often than not he doesn't absorb other forms.
Depends on the story being told.
Because at the end of the day, nothing in comics really tops a fist to the face.

Hulk has been getting more powerful over the years as well and post a scan of Superman absorbing magic.He's not amping off of Hulks gamma. Again, Hulk could absorb him EASILY.
Supes absorbs magic to power himself.

Supes absorbs Etrigans magic, uses the power to turn into a magical farmer and start spreading magic seeds of hope.

Travels to an alternate future where he learns to absorb and use magic as his source of power;

That's just a few off the top of my head to go along with the magical solar energy we saw Apollo use in my previous post.
Do you want to see him absorb and power himself with souls next or psionic energy?
Because he's done both.
By the way, the House of El is the house of Rao.
Though he created all the Kryptonians, Superman is the direct descendent of Rao himself.
Rao also created the ancestors of Earths gods.
Zeus and Odin get big mad when you talk about it. [this conversation actually takes place after Superman casually beats up an pantheon of gods for Odin and Zeus, lol]

They're all kinda cousins, but, you know, Supes is more powerful than all of them. His will directs the entire metaverse.

So are you arguing it won't happen here or unlikely to? Well, as has been pointed out, gamma is part of sunlight, so not the best argument if that's what you're doing.
Carter just can't think straight because of what little blood fed his brain is feeding his Hulk hard on....which doesn't need much blood to fill to begin with.

I'm saying it's unlikely to occur, gamma is part of sunlight, but sunlight isn't part of gamma, it's more likely he doesn't absorb the gamma than vice-versa, just like how Thor chooses to brawl most of the time instead of absorbing via Mjolnir.

Yeah Thor fights like an idiot and just ignores all the powers he has thanks to Mjolnir, similar to Silver Surfer. Unless it's a big part of their character (like Quasar, Vulcan, or Starbreaker) most of these guys don't go around absorbing energy when hit with blasts.

Not how it works. 😆 By your logic Superman couldn't have absorbed electricity, and yet he has.

Not seeing a power up there, he disposed of it.
Each scene you've shown me, he gets rid of it. He has too (lol @ pre crisis scans. The desperation).
There's literally zero evidence proving what Hulk energy would do to him. It could be poison. Happened to Thor when Thor absorbed Hulks power. Heck, Hulk gamma turned Thor all mad, and crazy. Hulk gamma was poison to him. Maybe you'll say a mindless Supes is more dangerous. If you say that, I will gladly use sacrifice against you where a holding back Wonder Woman stalemated and defeated Supes.
Here's Odin telling Thor that absorbing Hulks energy was dark light from the under world (OBA), that was influencing him, making him do terrible stuff.
He can try to absorb and get his soul and mind ruined in the process by absorbing dark, mind changing magic.

Wasn't in the scene Carver mentioned that gamma-powered Thor was overpowering/killing with his bare hands?
Thor handling magic>>>>>>Supes handle of magic. Also, Hulk was holding back, he's not going to hold back here and saying that Supes handle of Gamma magic would be identical to Thors is laughable. We do know it will infect him though. Nice try. Didn't know Supes and Thor was identical physically.
