New Superman respect thread

Ok Here is the thing

I have been thinking about a revamped Post Crisis Superman respect thread, the one we have is all over the place.

It is a huge task, Superman appears in a ton of books, but I want to make a really good respect thread, because that is the best weapon We can use for debates, specially if it has context.

For example people claiming that Silver Surfer can turn the sun red, well first of all, he does not has anything like that, second Krypton Man has already faced Superman after HE TURNED THE SUN RED.

The two ideas here is to show that Superman still can fight in a red sun condition and to show just how powerful Krypton man was

But in order to do this type of respect thread WE have to read the books and not only look at the pretty pictures, we have seen this in scans posted in respect threads that have context behind and depending on that context the feat can be huge or simply a non feat.

Reading every single book and in the mean time being collecting feats is time consuming, plus this is for post crisis Superman, while We are doing this the new 52 Superman is getting more feats that some of us are not even aware

To simply put it, a COMPLETE post crisis Superman respect thread is a daunting task for ONE PERSON, it is not too hard if its done by several persons each one of them will be in charge of a certain period of time so we can do this in a chronological order.

So far I have read every Superman appearance issue from the Byrne reboot till War of the gods and I am planing to keep going till the return of Superman when I get there, I will put together all the feats I found

It will be great if someone is in charge of the next period which could be from the return of Superman to our worlds at war and then someone else takes care of owaw till final crisis or in any way you guys feel like it.

The point is so We can make a complete respect thread and for one person to do this alone is a lot of work specially if you factor in that We all have other things to do.

This way if We divide the post crisis superman in periods We can make a respect thread very fast

Lets say I read everything from the reboot to the return of Superman, I collect the feats sort them out, upload them into a media account and I make my period respect thread, at the same time everyone else involved are reading from another period and when they finishes they collects their feats, uploads them and make his respect thread of the period they choose

When all the respect threads are in someone else will pour them all together in a massive complete post crisis Superman respect thread.

If this idea works and We can make a team for Superman respect threads and then maybe tackle golden age Superman (Earth 2) and Silver age Superman (Earth 1)

Imagine having a complete Pre-Crisis Superman respect thread, we may be able to have Superman or kryptonian respects threads from the golden age till now with in 1 year

So what do you guys think? any ideas?

Two Respect Threads, Pre- and Post-Crisis, that would be great. Since the story doesn't continues for those incarnations it would make sense, you could have everything there that is. But as you said that would be huge.
46 years for the Pre-Crisis stuff and 26 years for the Post-Crisis, that is a lot.

Yep, that is why is so hard for ONE person to do it all.

I read somewhere phillo wanted to make a Superman respect thread, but my best guess is that is a lot of work.

Even when I read just the first years I pulled out a lot of feats, and he has a bunch of crazy feats if you consider the context in which it was performed

For example

People like to bring Superman getting affected by a voodoo doll, but they forget all the circumstances that were involved for Superman to get affected by that voodoo magic, which required for him to be in a weakened mental estate, a tanagarian artillery canon and DEADLY voodoo magic to KO Superman.

So if We can make a group with each individual in charge of a getting feats with context from certain periods it will be easy to do.

But how will you get all those comics? Digital version of all, then you have to read all of them, this would take a lot of people. I would ask Galan, Juntai and PR , and Abhi. ^^

I spoke briefly with Delta about this a long time ago and he was willing to do it.

I can cover easily from Byrne till the return of Superman, I am already half way there.

Delta and I, We both have most of the post crisis chronology.

Abhi I am almost sure will help and so Phillo as he might have already a bunch of feats ready

This is actually a really good idea. I didn't even realize that now people would be able to put the complete feats and showings of post crisis characters.

We should see about doing that for multiple DC characters

Thanks, I was thinking that along the way villains feats also get collected.

And characters that appear in a lot of comics will be easier to track.

Hopefully we can get the team going.

I could help with batman and spiderman

I could help from After October but I would need the comics in english, I have a lot PC stuff and even some post but in my old house, the basement and in german ^^.

I actually have a complete respect thread from COIE up until Flashpoint for quite a while now, but I didn't post it, for various reasons. It has roughly 150 Microsoft Word pages.

I even sent some posters the version with the feats up until Infinite Crisis.

I didn't want to spend too much time on certain scenes/storylines , and there's sure to be some mistakes, so feel free to expand on whatever you feel like it's worth expanding on.

Try not to debate in the thread

Anyway..

I'll have it up by the end of the hour.

Any thoughts on a New 52 respect thread? Anyone interested in making it a team-effort among the fans on this section?

Editing to elaborate:

Seeing as Philo already knocked it out of the park with the PostC stuff, that just leaves the post flashpoint stuff. We could make it in here, and it could be linked to the respect forum, which means I could update it and maintain the format with no issues.

I was going to do it myself, but i'm opening to making it a group effort if anyone wants in.

I'll happily be in for helping make one if you want.

As long as I know what comics I am sorting out and what format the threads in I am happy.

-Pr-
Ideally, what i'd like to do is give everyone something that they're responsible for. Like, say, I'd do Action Comics, and you'd do Superman, and someone else would do Justice League. That kind of thing. Let's see if we can get more people on-board, then we can start discussing format and criteria and so on.

Yeah sure mark me down for Superman.

One_Angry_Scot
Also I have all of New 52 Action comics if you wanted me to send you it.

That's if you didn't have it already.

Plus I have all of Supermans New 52 vol 1 and 2 on my external HDD so I will start on it now.

I can do the Superman-Wonderwoman (and other Supes based comics) later after I have done the main stuff.

As you mentioned you aren't doing a format yet I will just make a general one.

One_Angry_Scot
Scratch that I put vol 2 in by accident. That's not even being thought of yet.

Sorry for spamming the thread, keep on forgetting stuff. Hectic day at College yesterday.

One_Angry_Scot
Up to Superman #24 now. Have gone through Psi War, H'el on Earth and I am on track today to get through Superman Doomed and Superman/Wonderwoman etc.

-Pr-
Okay, i'm finally back online... Now I need to catch up, if you're still interested.

Good you revived this thread. Was waiting for -Pr- really but all 3 of us could do it possibly. Although it's best to wait until -Pr- has some input.

-Pr-
I'm trying to catch up atm. I'll post as soon as I have something that I can consider real progress to share.

As far as someone else sharing the load, i'm not against it, but i'm wondering what comics aren't accounted for.

I was pretty sure i could get them all. And got all of Supermans main comics but then Piratebay got deep sixed and it's just a virus land now. I'll find a list of his comics like I did before. Print it off then we can label what we are going to be listing feats for.

Question:

Are feats of the newly powered up Superman (most people i've seen post think its s temp thing, like electric red & blue) going to be folded in, or will there be a different thread?

-Pr-
If it happened in the new 52, I honestly think it should be included, even if this whole superflare thing isn't going to be around very long.

But that's imo.

Yeah I still have the sheet I think. And I also still have the image that I sent to you. So yeah still got it.

Found it just now. Obviously all the marked off stuff is incorrect since a few Superman and Action Comics have been released since then.

All counts for feats eventually plus it's cool to include as much as possible.

riv6672
Good deal.
There was an issue about including the female Thor's feats in the Thor respect thread.

-Pr-
I should have my lot done and categorised within the next few days. Then i'll touch base. Sorry for the wait.

riv6672
As you're doing the work, the least we can do is wait...!

-Pr-
Action Comics done. Which one is next for me? I don't remember which one my second one was.

Sorry for my slowness btw. I only have so much time to go through them during the day, and I keep going over them to make sure im not missing anything.

Action comics is one of the best reads to me. Loved it. Can't wait to see the ending results of this respect thread. Pr, stop moving so slow.

I was doing my part too as we set out what comics to scan and stuff.

But recently I got hit by a ton of College assignments but the thing is if I get it done I can leave by Easter. So I can carry on after Easter.

-Pr-
We should have it done by then, definitely. Sorry for delays, it seems like every time I plan to do something, I have time, and the minute I start doing it, I get swamped.

-Pr-
Uploading Action Comics now. I keep thinking I had something else to do, but I can't bloody remember.

What's the next step?

Philosophía
Soooo....

I have the respect thread done. All I need is to upload the scans.

You lazy f*cks. stick out tongue

But I think we should wait for a bit and enjoy people not knowing about him. Knuckle sandwich some characters put up against him on the forums and then after.

I wish I could contribute more. I had a bunch of scans ready to upload but never was able to sort them out.

But well done thumb up
