Red Son Superman.

Mider - Red Son is an Elseworlds story, where Clark lands as a baby in Russia instead of Kansas. He then grows up on the communal farms and when he develops his powers, he's taken by Stalin to be trained in the ways of Communism.

The story is fantastic and the character of Superman is so intense in this story - it's one of my favourite versions of him.

He had been brought up to believe in Communism and to help the Communist effort by using his powers to their fullest.

But at the same time he retains his instinctive sense of right and wrong - just skewed a little bit to think that Communism is 'right' and capitalism is 'wrong.'

------------------------

Superman's powers in Red Son are pretty much unlimited - but only because of his mindset.

For example - in Supergirl, where Supes beats her down, he states that he always holds back, hence she looked more powerful than him, when in fact HE was more powerful.

Therefore, in Red Son, where he DOESN'T seem to hold back, his powers are very very impressive.

There is no instance in the entire book where his powers are not sufficient for the job at hand.

For example - taking on the entire Amazonian army? No problem...

Likewise - at the end of the book, there is about to be an incredible explosion. Lex says to Superman that "the bomb will explode in seconds and destroy everything within 5 million miles. Even YOU'RE not THAT fast."

Supes just smiles and says "Don't count on it mister," as he streaks through space with the device at 5 million miles a second.



Fantastic book and in terms of feats displayed I think Red Son would win against SBP.

Yeah - he has the exact same level of power.

It's just using it, that's all.

Red Son has a different mindset and had no hesitation when using his powers.

Current Superman would easily get all those feats done too, if he had the same mindset and decided not to pull his punches.

Yep, just, he's always giving chances and stuff, and saving every life he can. Hell, even in the fight with Doomsday, he was running in, punching, stepping back, saving a person, running back into the fight, taking a blow, throwing Doomsday through the air, etc. lol.


Superman when he's done playing though is just a plain beast.

Yup - just as he proved when he *****-slapped Supergirl.

And...

Supes "You humans are such fragile little things... easily broken..."

Bad guy "He's bluffing...." Gets punched into orbit

Supes "Anyone else wanna be stupid enough to think I'm bluffing?"

And to match that Red Son speed feat with something comparable... When Lex was announced as President of the United States, Superman flew about 800 million miles in 4 minutes and punched a moon in a half in a single swipe.

Hmmm ....that shows that Superman is FAR faster than the speed of light.
After all, it takes light 8 minutes to travel the 93 million miles to earth.
Superman travelled 800 MILLION miles in 4 minutes.

I'd say that is a sizeable accomplishment.

That comes to around 17.204 times the speed of light!

Calculations:
- In 4 minutes travelled 800 million miles.
- Thus, in the 8 minutes it would take for light to travel 93 million miles to Earth, Superman would have travelled 1,600 million miles.
- Hence, dividing 1,600,000,000 by 93,000,000 gives 17.204.3

Makes one smile. PreC Superman is coming back (and it doesn't have to be E2 Superman ....current post-C Superman seems to have a rather considerably power increase).
For one I am glad .....I got tired of the 'Flying Colossus/Male Rogue' Superman a long time ago.


PS: Let me also add that the punching a moon in half is a TREMENDOUS feat all on its own.
Basically, if a scan surfaced of this (the speed feat and the strength feat) it would take care of most 'Colossus can beat Superman' rubbish coming from Marvel fanboys ....easily.
A one scan knockout.
