"Superboy" aspect of history

The Superboy sub-section under Superman's Silver Age history is a little confusing in that, in Post-Crisis history, he never became Superboy. Does anybody else think this should get revised to reflect this? -cnjartist 5:33pm EST 31 May 2006

Infinite Crisis

The first Infinite Crisis section is hard to follow, and has some grammar issues. I'm not entirely certain what happened (as I've not read the comics and I'm having difficulty deciphering this section), so somebody should really fix this. —Matthew0028 07:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Category:Superman storylines

I've created a Category for Superman storylines and made it a sub-category of both [[Category:DC Comics storylines]] and [[Category:Superman]]. Most of the Superman stuff wasn't showing up in any way on the DC storylines page and this corrects that oversight. I've taken the liberty of recategorizing many of the related articles appropriately. CovenantD 22:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Future

I've seen info of future Superman comics in DC Comics website. He will recover his powers. Leader Vladimir

Really? I never would have guessed they would want to keep their trademark servicable and recognizable. --Chris Griswold 04:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I think he means we should mention it in the article. Still, it'd be a lot of work. What with the spoiler warning, the referencing, littled specifics to work with, and the thing with thing.... >.> Ace Class Shadow 04:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

True, plus, what if it never happens? What if DC decides to go with a new Clark Kent line of comics, leaving Superman to the Hollywood elite? --Chris Griswold 14:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Bah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!~ That's a good one, Chris. Whoo.. Ace Class Shadow 18:28, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Do we have to show that Superman will recover his powers in the article? That issue hasn't been released yet. Leader Vladimir

Do we show that at the moment? >.> This discussion was effectively over. We will not be mentioning some spoiler or sneak peak from the DC Comics site (at the moment).

So, to answer your question, no. We do not. The Anti-Gnome 22:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Relativity

Okay. First off, I'm mentioning this here so it'll get the most attention. Now, someone back me up on this, in comics, a character's alternate reality version, especially if they've interacted, should be listed on the "notible relatives" part of their SHB, right? If I'm wrong, no sweat. If I'm right, we've got an arrogant, incorrect little...user...to deal with at the moment. Ace Class Shadow 18:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Doomsday

Hey, I didn't know where to put this, but here's as good as any, and it involves the character. letting you know as of my post, doomsday has been vandalised. 66.214.82.168

Fictional speedsters

I added this category and the change was reverted. Superman is very fast, what's the problem? Tyciol 05:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed your having done this on Captain Marvel (DC Comics) as well. Speedsters are known for their speed. Superman and some of the other characters you have listed have speed as just one of their powers. --Chris Griswold 07:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

In the case of Captain Marvel or Supergirl—who share Superman's speed—I would agree, as super-speed was never really highlighted any more than their other powers. However, Superman's many races against The Flash to prove who was the "fastest man alive" are noteworthy enough to warrant Superman's inclusion in the Speedsters category.

Footnote numbering

Can someone better than me fix the footnote numbering? Thanks, Dyslexic agnostic 23:20, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Sections too large?

I have spent much of tonight editing this article, and it amazed me to see how long the "Clark Kent" and "Powers" sections are. I have condensed both, but the Clark Kent section could be shortened further, some of the concepts important enough to be moved higher in the article. Secondly, the Powers section is long enough to be an article - and guess what? It is. I can't imagine that this much disection is necesary in the main article, when it already provides a link to a full examination. Thoughts? --Chris Griswold 07:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Superman's super-speed

I have been long confused with how superman's super-speed is used. For example, can it be used in battles or just for transport ? Take for example superman vs hulk. Wouldnt superman defeat the hulk extremely easily since he could just use his super-speed and then smack the hulk with full strength a couple of times which would stop the hulk ? Does this mean superman cant be hit ?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.160.33.239 (talk • contribs)

Superman is FAST! --Chris Griswold 07:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Superman CAN use his Superspeed in physical combat- yet, he rarely does so. No explanation has been given for this that I know of (for him OR other superfast strongmen in the DCU). The real answer, of course, is that it makes him invincible when fighting slower opponents. Let's chalk it up to "Superman unconsciously restraining himself" again. Wilfredo Martinez 11:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Lets take wolverine fo example. In VS message boards, people have said that because of superman's super-speed wolvrine wouldnt be able to hit superman, which confuses me when much slower characters like batman have defeated superman. How often does superman use his superspeed to dodge or hit quickly oponents ?

Wolverine is a GREAT FIGHTER! --Chris Griswold 11:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I think a great explanation for this is found simply in the revised spoiler section dealing with One Year Later. Supermans powers are implemented as a function of his will; otherwise he would crush and destroy anything he touches. There was a quote in , I beleive, the Superman/ Spider- Man team up where, after Superman gets pounded pretty hard, he comes back and says something to the effect of, "You took me by surprise last time. But when I don't want to be moved, no force on Earth can move me." This would also explain why there are certain times where much less powerful charecter, like Batman, have been able to affect Superman physically. If you look at the, of all things, Worlds Finest episodes of the Superman animated series, Batman is able to perform a pretty gnarly shouldre throw on Superman simply becaue Big Blue had no idea exactly how fast or strong Bruce was. I really beleive that spoiler section hit it perfectly as a way to explain many aspects of how Superman applies his abilities. User:Violet Grey\Violet Grey 15:02, 8 June 2006

Condensing the sharacter biography

Breaking with Wikiproject Comics tradition, I would like to thank WesleyDodds for actually editing down a section on this article I had previously edited and re-written. This user did a great job of cutting out unnecessary information from the Infinite Crisis and OYL sections of the biography, and it's good work. I copy edited the entire article the other night, and I realize now that not only could I have condensed that sections even more, they were fine just to cut. Good call, WesleyDodds. We need to remember that a lot of the detail we have in our articles is unnecessary, and trimming that fat can only improve an article.--Chris Griswold 21:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Tense

I'm curious to know why this article is written mostly in the present tense, when it describes things that have clearly taken place in the past. DavidNYC 07:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

That is how you write about fiction. Fictional events are in present because they happen when you read them. For instance, if I read a copy of Superman #75, the death of Superman is in the present, not the past. See: Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Check your fiction. You will find that Batman is written the same way, as are Superboy (Kon-El), Jason Todd, Superboy-Prime, Spider-Man, and a number of other articles. We are actively trying to address this issue wherever it is found in the comic book articles.--Chris Griswold 08:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Capability of superman

Can kryptonite be found easily ? I mean batman has used it against him. I also am still confused with super-man's superbreath. When superman faced thor, i don't see why super-man was actually a match for thor. I mean i know thor is a god, but hey could'nt superman just use his superbreath to stop thor, or use his super-speed to dodge attacks from thor easily or use the super-speed to hit thor quickly without being hit back ? I think their should be a section for limits to super-man's powers because many people are eager to know whether

1. Superman can use his speed in combat - can he use it dodge ? - can he use it to attack quickly ?

2. What can puncture superman's skin ? - What has broken super-man's skin ? - Can marvel's universe alloy's such has carbodanium and adamantium lacerate superman ?

3. Super-intellect, but superman isnt quite smart ? - Batman having only genius iq, and lex luthor has outsmarted the suppodsedly incredibly smart superman

4. Super voice and breath ? - It states that superman cancelled out a nuclear blast with his voice ? Then couldnt he just stop anyone ? - Why couldn't superman freeze doomsday and blow batman away ?

I suggest that it state somewhere than superman can't or is never seen to use all his powers at the same time. Because if he could, then even all the superheroes to exist [ minus pisonics and magicians ] could not even come close to beating superman as his hits would be unaviodable due to his speed, too strong, as he can hurl mountains, and could just blow or freeze krytonite weaponry and his enemies. No one could outsmart him either. So no one is actually a match for superman, unless he is unable to use his powers all at the same time.

Doomsday, batman, lex luthor, thor and the hulk would be too slow to hit or avoid superman's blows and voice/breath, would be to stupid to outsmart superman and couldn't even come near superman because of his super voice/breath and heat vision. Don't you agree ?

This is not a forum, Okay? T-1000 17:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Superman CAN use all of his abilities at the same time, and certain issues show him doing this, (flying and using heat vision at the same time, etc.) He is not Ultra Boy of the Legion. The only reason why he might not use everything at once is that maybe he can't focus on more than two or three abilities at a time. For instance he probably doesn't like to use x-ray vision super-speed at the same time, lest he run into something. Maybe its like normal people being unable to walk and chew gum or rub the belly and tap their head at the same time. Who cares.--Wakefencer

Revised Origin

Whether or not people approve of the series, the factual information is that Superman: Birthright is his revised origin and should remain listed that way in the "First Appearance" bar. Parts of The Man of Steel remain canon, so that should still be listed as his "Modern" first appearance. Keep the "Revised" section with Brithright, because those are the facts.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.65.153 (talk • contribs)

OK, so the first appearance should be listed as Man of Steel and his current origin should be listed as Birthright?--Chris Griswold 06:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Wait, you listed it under "Debut", which is the exact opposite of what you just wrote. --Chris Griswold 06:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

All I know, is that's how it is always listed in Secret Files 161.38.222.14 00:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

-- Assuming that the Birthright Superman is partly a different character, like the Silver Age one was different from the Man of Steel one, I also think Birthright as his origin must stay in the infobox. DrTofu83 13:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Who is assuming that? It's the same character; it's just a retcon. It's a much smaller jump than the one Byrne made. Are we going to have to update this every time there is a new change? because what about Infinite Crisis #7? There are further changes from that point on. --Chris Griswold 02:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Chris. The key thing is that the box says 'first appearance', not 'origin story' - whilst 'Birthright' is a revised origin story, true enough, it doesn't seem to be the first appearance of a completely different era of Superman - just a slightly different beginning for the modern Superman. Technically, the debut of the modern era Superman was in 'Man of Steel', so that is his first appearance.--Joseph Q Publique 12:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Well...

• Man of Steel Superman is a "Born on Earth" Superman, an embryo born in a Birthing Matrix hatched on Earth in the very moment the Kents found him, whereas Birthright Superman is a Kryptonian Baby, like the Silver Age one
• Man of Steel Krypton is a cold and sterile planet, so Jor-El and Lara were "emotional throwbacks", whereas Clark has becoming on birthright the beloved son of loving and fully caring parents
• After Birthright, with the "born on Earth" limitation gone, also other limitations were lifted. Whereas the Man of Steel knowledge of Krypton was fleeting and difficoult, the post-Birthright Superman is an expert on the whole Kryptonian science, from language to technical appliances, like the ancient Kryptonian science, the local philosophy, language, mental disciplines...
• Birthright Clark was one of the best buddies of a young Lex, whereas in Man of Steel they never knew each other
• There was the return of a "Mildmannered Clark", in fact, the phoney personality he has to use as a "farmboy in a big city", wereas Man of Steel Clark was sometimes as tough as Superman. After Birthright, the "true" Clark is only the loving husband and the caring son.
• Birthright Superman is a vegetarian, 'cause he's able to sense the sum of all biological function of people and animals as a "living aura". Man of Steel never exibited such a concern.

So, I still think that Birthright Superman is, if not an utterly different Superman, at least a quite different character, as the Silver Age one was for the Modern Age. DrTofu83 14:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

You almost have me convinced. Almost. --Chris Griswold 19:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The Superman that appears in DC Comics today is still the one that debuted with Byrne's Post-Crisis relaunch. Sure, they shoehorned a completely contradictory origin in Man of Steels place, but it's the same history. Anyways, Superman had constant revisions of his origin before Crisis. WesleyDodds 01:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

"Kal-El"'s meaning

Under "Publication history": (Superman's Kryptonian name, "Kal-El," resembles the Hebrew words for "voice of God.")

Under "Cultural influences": It should also be known that Superman's kryptonian name Kal-El translates to the hebrew Kol el, which means "all that is god."

Which is it? --Chris Griswold 04:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I much prefer the Hebrew translation, Kol el, the one that means all that God is...

Not that I'm religious, or a terribly good christian, I AM NEITHER OF THESE THINGS. I just like it, as it fits.

The Superman Pic

i'm should pick the Micheal turner pic instead of the Jim Lee pic. SO IF EVERYONE thinks of turning it back to Jim Lee pic,I'm turning it back!!--user:Tgunn2

I reckon the Jim Lee picture's better, myself. Should we put it to the vote?--Joseph Q Publique 12:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

From the simple perspective of good taste, I have to say no to a Turner drawing of Supes. Dear God, the horror. Anyways, I think it's nice that the infobox picture matches with Batman's WesleyDodds 01:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I think it should lead-in image should be replaced with one of Christopher Reeve's as Superman. That or Brandon Routh.--Kross^Talk 03:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm betting in 200 years there won't be much of a difference anyway, except for the suit colors and none of the apostles being as much of a jerk as Batman. WesleyDodds 20:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Probably a Robot Chicken fan (c.f., The Real World: Metropolis). Oh, and I think the peanut butter incident happened in the Judd Winick-penned Superman, Pedro, and Me crossover book. GentlemanGhost 08:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, while I admire some of the show's work, in many ways, I don't think it's very funny or well-executed. It's trying to be Family Guy in a lot of ways, but it's much clumsier. --Chris Griswold 21:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Two dumb questions

• Did Superman / Clark Kent go to college? If he didn't, how'd he get that reporter job? I could see a cub reporter getting hired straight out of high school back in the 1930s but not nowadays..

• Can Superman's trademark primary-colored costume be attributed to the fact that back in the 1930s printing solid red, blue, and yellow was way easier than, say, printing green, magenta, and orange? :-) RevWaldo 20:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

1. World of Metropolis #3 shows Clark going to college... no idea if he did Pre-Crisis or not.

2. No idea Dlong 02:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

He went to college pre-Crisis. That's where he changed his identity from Superboy to Superman, and where he met Lori Lemaris. WesleyDodds 10:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Character history

Under character history, the section begins: "As portrayed in Action Comics #1, Superman was born on the planet Krypton and rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father moments before the planet's destruction."... however the scan I have of Action Comics #1 makes no mention of Superman even being an alien... this should be corrected. Dlong 02:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

In action comics #1 the Kents take him to the orphanage first, then adopt him the next day. The passing off baby Kal-El as their own was a silver age innovation.--Wakefencer

-Its a nice thing to have in external links, and its rather funny, but it shouldn't be in personality. Superman isn't actually a "dick," its just a silver age tendency to have strange covers in an attempt to make people buy the books to see what happens.--Wakefencer

Truth, Justice and the American Wawy

I've noticed watching the animated Superman shorts (currently on Refrederator's vBlog 26-30 June 2006) that the introduction is "Truth and Justice" rather than "Truth, Justice and the American Way" It would be nice if the article addressed and explained this change. --Don Hosek

Daily Planet / Star

There have been some edits/reverts concerning the sentence:

Clark Kent, a reporter for The Daily Star (later changed to The Daily Planet)

Several people, including myself, have swapped it so that it reads:

Clark Kent, a reporter for The Daily Planet (originally called The Daily Star)

and it's been reverted. Now ChrisGriswold has placed a comment saying "<!--Leave in this order-->". So.. why? I'm no comic book guru, but on Wikipedia don't we report what is first, and then describe what was? I mean we don't say "Henry Johns is a senator (who later became the president)" - we say "Henry Johns is the president (who started out as a senator)". I vote we change it back to the latter (above), but obviously can't do it without a discussion first. —EatMyShortz 02:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

My reason for this is that we are describing the Golden Age Superman, not the Earth-Two one, but the actual character as published in the 1903s-`40s. Actually, if that part about rocketing to Earth is still attributed to Action Comics #1, that really ought to be re-attributed as well. --Chris Griswold 03:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Smallville vs Comics

I'm not even sure this belongs here, but here goes: When comparing Lana and Lois to the comics movies, it's interesting to note that Smallville Lana looks like Lois in other portrayals, and Smallville Lois looks like Lana in other portrayals.

Symbol of Imperialism

I was trying to add the fact that Superman is a symbol of imperialism in Cuba. I don't know where it would go. Does anyone have a suggestion? --C5mjohn 02:21, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

First, I feel I need to ask if you can cite a source for that tidbit.--Chris Griswold 08:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

On 60 Minutes - "Che Guevara was yesterday, Elian Gonzalez is today. And that’s precisely how Cuba is playing him. In what’s called the Museum of Ideas in Cardenas, he has already been cast in bronze as the revolutionary hero preparing to throw Superman — in Cuba a symbol of imperialism — onto the rubbish pile of history." [2]--RevWaldo 15:01, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks RevWaldo, I should have put it in my original comment. They actually showed the bronze statue with the Superman in his hand on the show. I was shocked when I heard it, but the video made it obvious. Here is another source with a picture. http://www.hellocuba.ca/itineraries/441Museum_of_ideas.html --C5mjohn 20:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Lose of Powers

Everybody understands that Superman lost his powers and recovered them. But why he lost his powers in first place? It was because he was exposed to the Red Son of Krypton, or just because he just wanted to live a normal life?. Leader Vladimir

Birthright in Debut box

Since DC has dubbed Birthright as the canon origin for Superman, I really think it should be placed under Modern debut (along with MoS) or be given it's own slate under a "Revised" section. As an encyclopedia, the information would not be out of place. CmdrClow 02:43, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
