S'bout right

@H1...

Does that man measuring statement apply to everyone or does it just apply to Superman?

Does that concept apply to all characters?

That has been used for several characters. JLA tested pre 52 "The Ray" and his energy output was off the charts.

It's hyperbole and only intended to mean we're (writers) not goimg to put a cap on it. Probably because if they do somewhere down the track someone will call them on x feat not being possible because here you said his enerfy is y and to do that is y +

Funny how hv was never all that powerful a weapon pre crisis. Everyone could tank it, just about.

Post crisis, it became even weaker, unable to affect random robots and missiles, getting ignored by Lobo and Bizarro Superman. At some point, if went waaaay overboard in the other direction, where he's one shotting Kryptonians and f'n Despero...

HV was never weak. It's always one of the most devastating energy blasts from any herald.

All too common back then.

First fight with Captain Marvel pre crisis, he hit him with it for four/five panels. Doesn't even seem to notice.

The remake of Superman and the Forever People visiting Apokolips, he couldn't affect random robots.

Hunter/Prey, hv did jack all to missiles.


Might not have been weak, but it sure wasn't the trump card it's shown as now. A Superman vs Shazam fight today could credibly end in hv, game over.

Wanted to find scans, but hell with google, not digging into my comic stash for scans, and Abhi's already seen it all anyways, so..


A few other examples:

Mongul vs Kyle and Superman. Remember when Kal was hving Monguls face at the end, before Kyles locomotive construct to the back? Not all that effective.


Nor was the same against Anointed One, back in Morrison's JLA vs Ancient League, He was HVing AO's face, and it didn't seem to make a difference.


Compare that with taking Zod's kid down, with a full on HV assault. That just didn't happen back then (Or if it did, I'd love to see it, or get a reference.

Something better then armored Mannheim and first post crisis meeting Mongul talking about how hot it is, or the Eradicator device being shut down with it. Cool moments, though they are.)

Mongul straight up said that HV would've crippled him. He was straight up chopping General's arms off with HV when astro force couldn't.

Right, where he straight up destroyed Henshaw's body in one HV blast?

It wasn't his trump card then and it isn't now.

some of those items i guess are made of pure energy, the hv might do much to those. But caps shield, the adamantium skeleton, mjolnir,janbjorn, the bracers all suffuer damage.

None of those items would not even have a scratch on them from Superman heat vision.

Superman's most powerful hv is over a thousand times hotter than the core of the sun. That's hotter than any of these characters has experienced. Thus it damages all.

5000 degrees max ain't doing Jack to any of those objects.

. /thread Show where that is stated???

Surfer's board is weird because while it can easily survive in the heart of a sun, Firelord's regular blast from his staff has destroyed it. Supes heat vision can damage it but wouldn't really matter b/c Surfer can always reform it or just create another.
