Has he? I know normally he doesn't kill, but stil..

He once executed three kryptonians from an alternate universe, but i think that's been retconned.

Doomsday is the most common example.

depends on what you consider to be killing. he's ripped apart plenty of intelligent robotic life forms in his time...

Did he just kill Doomsday, Like with his bare hands? O.o

In Death of Superman, yes, he killed Doomsday with his final punch.

More than not normally. It would take the greatest danger possible for him to cross the line.
The three kryptonian criminals, is still a question of having been retconned or not thanks to Zero Hour and IC. Doomsday is still a current example. The Anti-Monitor, he knows it would take death to stop him.

Why did he kill the kryptonians?

Because they were more powerful than he was, and had killed every single person on the Earth of their dimension. He managed to depower them with the Red Kryptonite from their dimension, but they scoffed about the loss of their powers, saying they would get them back and come after him and his Earth. So Superman reluctantly decided to play executioner, and pulled out the Green Kryptonite to their horror. He held it on them until they were dead.
The event troubled him so much, he had trouble sleeping and developed a split personality, a more ruthless side who played vigilante in the Gangbuster costume.

Wow. Makes me glad it was retconned. Thanks for the info.

Retconned? Dunno what that means and dunno how it was retconned..

retconv. to retroactively revise (a plot, storyline, character, event, history, etc.), usu. by reinterpreting past events,

No. He believes what he does, not matter if it's naive or not (Orion has called him that in the past.)
Batman is more deserving of being called hypocritical.

how is Bruce Layme a hypocrite?

Superman also killed Brainiac and Imperiex during OWAW. In a way, anyway...

Yeah but that wasn't the "real" Brainiac

Just in his views about protecting people from harm, yet observe the huge body count the Joker has amassed, in the face of select principles Bruce holds to.

yeah. bloody retcons...

You'd think all those bullets that bounce off of him when he's around a crowd of people would have killed at least one person, could you blame a death like that on him?

Well I remember one time he was worried about that happening so he caught the bullets instead.

I don't know if bullets should bounce off him with the same speed they hit, or just fall in a heap in front of him. I know artists like to make it look more dramatic by showing them going off in crazy directions.

Was it? That's not cool. Those stories were really fun. Classic early 90's, gritty stuff.

Hey pr or anyone else, do you have a issue number when that happened?

It happened in Superman #22 or 23, it was Byrne's last arc.

Thanks for that.

Thanks, I was asking about Brainiac tho. I found it, Action Comics 866 and the next 4 comics are part of the story. Freakin retcons!!

Oh shit, sorry.

Yeah no prob

I guess we can now add the new Doomsday, but of course this is new continuity. I doubt DC will have him kill anyone else or at least for a long while. What do you think pr?

No idea. Theyre kinda going out there with him atm. I hope they don't go too far with him too much.

I think he's killed some intelligent alien bugs.

And sentient robots. He didn't consider AI based life forms alive, and destroyed without a second thought.

They killed their Earth, though. Including making it into a burnt out husk, by ripping apart the ozone layer.

I could see why people hate the fact Superman would kill, but I thought Byrne did a really good job making you care about a world that was doomed to disappear one way or another, thanks to Zero Hour.

It was grim and gritty stuff, but not really the senseless, shock jock kind.

He kills Zod doesn't he?

Till this day Superman is still my all time favorite, have/will/always defend him, but sometimes the morals he goes by contradicts themselves.

Case and point, Sacrifice. He ***** and whine about Diana killing Lord, but he was fine with killing Doomsday or Brainiac, or making Darkseid suffer for all eternity in the Source Wall in the Supergirl act.

True Doomsday has no Soul unlike Lord, but doesn't that make Lord the bigger evil? Lord chooses to do the things he did, where as Doomsday never had a choice, he had no conscious of right and wrong.

Well, Daian's pretty bad herself.

She wanted to put Barry in jail and voted him out of the league after he killed Zoom.

Maybe
