That wasn't a sun amp in any sense of the world. They were not on top of the sun as Rucka clarified that they were near venus in an interview and even discarding that diana was waving kryptonite at his face. Diana never noticed any difference between superman before he went to the sun and after.
That was a sunamp. Before that Darkseid was backhanding him away and shit.
I don't think you should go to petty insults for something like this.
The hell? If Superman moves THAT close to the sun, he is unarguably being amped beyond his normal levels. It doesn't need to be explicitly stated for us to still know how his power works.
Want me to get a mod ruling on the scene?
Sorry, but sometimes you just make no sense at all, and seem to argue just to argue.
Aside from that, the scans abhi posted are from The Man of Tomorrow #13, released in 1999. Wonder Woman #219(the issue where sunamped Supes and Dianna fought) was released in 2005. This is important because in 2004(just one year before he battled Dianna), *standard* Superman(ie. not sunamped) was able to WEAR a f*cking k-nite ring, and use it to own Kara in the fire-pits of Apokolips, without "nearly dying": (please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)
(Superman/Batman #12.)
And ironically enough, in one of the scans abhi posted Superman outright TELLS US that being within close vicinity to the sun earlier in the issue had still boosted his resistance to k-nite, even when he was back on earth fighting the heroes: (please log in to view the image) "If I hadn't spent so much time recently near the sun, I'd be dead! My friends... Would have killed me!"
Yet Dianna pulling out a piece of k-nite...but never getting a chance to do anything with it...when they were both RIGHT BY the sun...supposedly depowered Superman in any way/shape/form? I suppose that bit of logic is all fine and dandy, IF you're comfortable ignoring Superman's character history as a whole. /shrug
Meh, that's Jeph Loeb's superman who can shrug off his entire blood turned to kryptonite and a kryptonite sword through his heart but died from a few kryptonite bullets. Using that kind of writing to prove anything is failworthy.
Also if a sunamped superman was brought to his knees by synthetic kryptonite, a normal superman who was exposed to it wouldn't have got much of an amp, did he?
Of course it does. I've a question for you, what does kryptonite do to superman? You are doing the same thing for superman here as you did for zoom, for all your speculation you can't produce any scan which says superman was amped there. Just like you can't produce any scan showing Zoom beating a single top tier. I can produce all the scans of superman getting an amp by going near sun, it has always spelled out for us. I wonder why it isn't stated here?
I went ahead and asked for a mod ruling, because frankly, you seem incapable of grasping even the most simplistic of concepts, and are arguing just to argue. I'm just wasting my time at this point.
