Is the end of superpowered heroes is coming. The Super Superman exists because the publishers decided they might as well go big or go home-given the character is scientifically impossible even at lower levels.SO!! Superman powers are Scientifically impossible!! I guess every character has to be on the Batgod level when it come to abilities and powers. What sort of abilities would this imply Superman is as strong as 10,000 men. Often times comic books go over the top with Superman, but what if we limited his abilities to 10,000 times the normal strength of a human being and his other abilities are limited by 10,000 as well. Even UNBREAKABLE seems to depend on some sort of magic that makes him capable of his feats and not science. A more realistic Superman in a more realistic World: Superman 10,000. As soon as you apply real physics to Superman or any super-heroes, it all comes crashing down. Any body that was capable of such feats would break-it's impossible to build something that could sustain that and still function as a living organism. Because, realism dictates that this is all impossible. I don't want to harsh anyone's buzz-lower level superman stories are fun, I love UNBREAKABLE-but I don't think it's any more realistic to have a guy that's much stronger than any normal man, but not as strong as the present day Superman. The "weakest" Superman is still powerful enough to make it hard to challenge, but minimal when it comes to having to write so that you don't corner yourself Honestly the reason I like a more modest power set, modest being relative to lifting planets and flying through time, is because that's still more than too much power if you're really thinking the application through. Hopefully would handle that better than the New 52 Truth did.There's nothing street level about lifting 500 tons. I would love to see an ongoing starring a Superman who is at that base sort of level, I think it would be fun. You can have him tackle social ills with his fists, and you can have “normal” street level thugs threaten him with guns and what not.
WORLD WITHOUT A SUPERMAN CBR MOVIE
The answer is that a Superman at that sort of power level can be used to tackle more “realistic” problems directly without coming across as a godling throwing his weight around.
