I think Supes is immortal

[bulok]

To me, not aging doesn't equate immortality. It simply equates not aging. True immortality, the way I see it, requires one to be truely unkillable. Otherwise, you're just nigh indestructible.

As far as I know only 2 characters in DC are truly immortal in that sense. Ressurection man and Vandal Savage. Others just live very long lives.

 

[The Question]

Actually, Vandal Savage isn't truely immortal either. After a while, his powers begin to fade, and he needs organ transplants from his descendants to replenish himself with pure genetic material.

 

[Brian Braddock]

The thing that convinces me that it's a nod to Supes is the 'bright red boots' line.

I think it's a nod to how officer Mooney describes Supes to the desk sargeant in Superman: TM (just before he says what he says in the rest of my sig )

Why would he have to be as strong as Captain America? He's not a human being. His biological make up is much different from our own. I'd think that someone who exists under the conditions represented by Superman would be vastly stronger than Captain America.

Solar particles provide very little amounts of energy especially to such a small area, such as a Human body. The reason the sun produces so much enrgy is beacuse it is vast Fusion reactor. A human being is comparable in size to the sun as an Atom is to a Human. There s only so much energy the sun can provide a human being, without any means of focussing the light. Which is why his powers don't logically work.

It is possible that his strength isn't entirely based upon solar rays, you know. Alot of stories have said that his powers come from the combination of him beingn a solar powered creature from a planet with a much colder sun and being from a planet with much higher gravity.

What does that mean? Besides, it's not the only time I've had a hard time understanding you.

I see, it's when I use words and phrases you are not familiar with, perhaps? In that case I will keep my answers clear and concise.

Yes Precrisis stories.

So true Yahs.

I believe what he's saying is, "you haven't given any real proof as to why you don't believe Superman doesn't need to eat, all you've done is say that you think he has to."

Exactly and thank you for spelling it out to Mr. "The Question" so clearly he has to understand it.

In the book, the sceince of Super heroes, the author address the idea of his strength being linked to Krypton’s greater gravity and therefore his evolved physiology. For him to be able to be a 1000 times stronger than any normal man (And im sure you'll agree hes a lot stronger than this, IMO hes a lot stronger than the combined strength of every organism on our plannet). Krypton would have literally have been a black hole, due to its immense gravity. I’m sorry mate the gravity explanations, still falls a lot short of explaining his power. The most scientifically plausible explanation i've heard, was developed in a Byrne story. Super girl and the atom travel into Supermans body, and find that various of his alien organs allow him to convert his food atomic structure into pure energy, similar to a fusion reaction. The Solar energy he absorbs, provides the heat that starts this reaction. But this explanation, has never really been developed since, and forgotten.

 

[The Question]

I highly doubt that he's stronger than every living being on the planet combined.

 

[King Of The sea]

immortal means can not die by any means right well doomsday has killed him before so he cant be immortal

 

[yahman]

I highly doubt that he's stronger than every living being on the planet combined.

I must congratulate you, on your ability to miss the point, continuously !

In any case i was referring to our planet not the D.C. world.

You know, insulting someone and then using a happy face smily is really annoying. And I didn't miss the point. I just ddin't feel like argueing all of that.

I understand that. And I still highly doubt that Superman is stronger than every living being on the planet combined.

 

[King Of The sea]

no superman is not stronger then every hero in dc

Aquaman,Martion Manhunter,Captin Marvel,

they together would equal supermans strength

 

[Zeu]

How about Black Adam?

I reckon you didn't feel like argueing, as you are incapable of doing so ....

Im pretty sure he is .... Every Organism on the plannet working together, would find it hard to shift mount Everest .... Supes can move Celestial objects, which weigh considerably more.

Shaggy man, Wonder Woman, Bizarro, etc ... the list goes on, which is why i was referring to our planet.

Is that really called for?

It depends on what you're talking about. Pre Crisis, he destroed a galaxy by sneezing. Post, I can only think of really one or two instances where he's moved celestial objects.

all ok i got ya and i got to say that probably true he could move planets i dont think every thing on earth could do that but i could be wrong dont know

So you don't belive he's can move celestial objects ?

 

[King Of The sea]

maybe gotta think remember the strong man comps iv seen people move trains with their teeth sence its all the beingsin the world all the people that moved trains they would combine their strength of everything else so it could be possable

 

[The Question]

So you don't belive he's can move celestial objects ?

It, again, depends on which representation of Superman you're talking about. Post Crisis, some writers have depicted him as being strong enough to move planets, but many have not. And why do you put a smily face at the end off all of your posts?

Recent, Post Crisis Superman .... Why, does it bother you ?

Excuse me?

It's really annoying. Especially when you insult someone and follow with a smily face.

Couldn't resist.

I have dyslexia .... so im not in the slightest bit bothered. If this site had a more pratical spell checker i would use it a lot more.
