Superman has always been limitless, he’s always developing more power. As his father said, keep testing your limits, he has no limits. Even around kryptonite he always finds his inner strength to overcome it.

Practically his only limit is how much solar radiation he's absorbed

[@reddragon7762]

He is limitless as i see it, more so than Goku. Reasons: 1: Has DNA combination possibilities of his entire race of which, as a sub-point, was and has been modified for centuries if not thousands of years. Genetic Modification was a huge priority of their race as it meant their survival and expansion into other worlds. Might as well say his DNA is primordial soup at its core. 2: As a symbol of Hope, like his father was trying to say, his limits are limitless as long as he keeps testing them. If he were to fall into darkness, his powers are probably not as stong and have limits. We learn from Green lantern core that Hope is the strongest power among this primordial soup of powers in the universe(s). As long as he has hope, he cannot have a limit to his power. 3: Being only born kryptonian in centuries probably was intentional. "clone tech" Instilled by the government to prevent uprisings and the yellow sun bathing was lost or secret knowledge and while needing tons of bodies to conquer and explore to cosmos and later then whilst star is dying you dont want people knowing they can go to a yellow sun and be a planetary weapon. 4: With abominations resurection, the soup in his DNA, i would think it say to say hes immortal essentially. At most would need a catalyst to make his soup bubble after hes "dead" hence the regen in space under the sun. The slow recovery whilst in the coffin underground, slowly absorbing radiation.

[@empiremedia1675]

Base superman has clear limits and relies on solar radiation stored in his cells. Too much time away from the sun he gets very weak. Also depends on the writer. He is written so poorly there is no consistency with his weaknesses and strengths. Hulk has limitless strength and still has lots fights, superman has never been shown to have limitless power.

@@scerkann3966 doctor strange holds back alot as well so in character superman would put him to sleep and not kill him. The massive speed advantage speed blitz. Strange would see that superman is hope and superman won't kill him since he should be a boyscout now. Wanda gives off negative intent and superman has been shown to x-ray his opponents to see if they are about to attack or have bad intent. That's an automatic head he's punching off so Wanda would die. Thor would be supes best match physically. This will be a fun Brawl until superman smirks and freezes slowdinson in motion with his superior massive speed gap advantage. Once superman feels that hammer, he won't let thor breathe. Now if Wanda is to get a surprise attack on superman then it can work and game over. This all depends on if superman decides to abuse speed to the point where she won't even be able to get one attack out while her head is launched into the ground. Strange is a little slower than spiderman in reactions so supes can abuse speed on him too. Strange is dangerous because of his potential magic spells and hax. That's if you let him use it.

[@nazukeoya]

If you look at the rocks around him start to levitate when he's preparing to fly, that tells you that Superman is creating an anti-gravity field around him that enables him to fly. It's not a lower gravity, but generating a field that cancels out gravity and he can alter the strength of this field which allows him to levitate at different levels.

[@stephonmiller6422]

You are the person I’ve ever heard speak on that, damn good read my dude

[@adamjeayes6525]

I'd argue that it's a telekinetic ability, since it not only allows him to ignore gravity but to fly in any direction 360 degrees, and to extend this force to affect objects or people he touches - this is the standard explanation as to how he can carry a huge building that extends out either side of him without the building falling to pieces, aka the scene in Justice League.

[@nazukeoya]

@@adamjeayes6525 I would disagree though. If it were a telekinetic ability then the surrounding pebbles wouldn't of moved, only his body. Telekinesis is pretty precise and focuses on an actual object, whereas a gravity distortion field focuses on a certain volume of space, and that volume of space will inevitably include some fragments of the surrounding environment.

[@adamjeayes6525]

@@nazukeoya I'm not sure we can say that telekenesis is always precise - for film references look at the Jedi lifting multiple rocks in recent films, or Dark Phoenix affecting things all around her and ripping flesh apart. But I can see how you *could* think in that way, so let me ask how you explain a gravity distortion field enabling travel in all directions, or holding a huge building together or protecting a person that Supes is holding? It seems to me that Telekenesis would be a better explanation of holding a fragile human body safely, rather than a gravity distortion field that by your own explanation is less precise and therefore could harm them very easily. How would you explain these issues? Interesting to debate it btw - ultimately I'm not wedded to my idea if I can be convinced otherwise, just so far unconvinced.

[@craigquann]

Yea I heard something about a semi-telekinesis that helps distribution of force and is how he can fly. They kind of explain it the same way in "invincible". It's basically matter manipulation. How they can push off air and move and change direction instantly... I don't think there's an actual term for it ..

Superman's "powers" are NOT physically based, but primarily telekinetic, which was literally established over 30 decades ago in the comic books!!! Then, due to sagging sales of DC's flagship comic book character, in 1986 DC agreed to allow artist/writer John Byrne to relaunch the Superman franchise with a revamped origin and by also making the character much weaker. They intentionally made Superman weaker because DC's writers were not smart enough to create storylines and characters equal to or greater than Superman's powers and intellect, and because the Superman "character" did not convey "the diversity of social awareness" openly represented by most of Marvel's comic book characters, especially the X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc. The DC cinematic universe version of Superman does NOT represent the true, unbridled powers and intellect of the original comic book character.

Assuming you want to follow this crazy mythos as related to something like ‘spirit science’, Superman came from a planet, which I understand to have several more times the gravity of Earth, which does not account for his abilities, but gets the ball rolling. His people are a science based culture, which affects his eventual limits and, also, his near limitlessness That means something beyond science, such as quantum reality(magic) and science’s short comings(eventually the formation of kryptonite) can harm him. Superman’s home sun is a red dwarf. Though small and efficient, it is not capable of giving the man of steel or his people significant sustenance. A somewhat larger yellow sun will tremendously bolster his abilities. A side note: General Zod should have been able to defeat Superman because he has almost the same abilities and probably better strategic and tactical capabilities. So Zod’s an idiot.

[@mxn5132]

@@bryanbryan2968 You are mostly correct but the reason Superman will always beat Zod is simple, he spent his entire life under a yellow sun and his cells including the cells of the organisms in the codex contained in his body have been supercharged by the yellow sun for at least 20 years nonstop.

And yes, a bus full of water may be quite heavy, but let's not forget that a bus is not a box he has to push against the ground, it has wheels ! It certainly makes it quite easier to move around (Did you know that the strenght of an adult is enough to move a train wagon on rails ?). Granted the bus is certainly stuck in mud, so it's not that much better. However, when it comes to handling whole boats, ships of all kind, or even whole buildings, there's no arguing that it would physically be impossible with pure strenght, as the pressure exerted by his hands sustening the whole weight of the thing would have them rip right through the material. There must be something else maintaining the integrity of the building as a whole, and some telekinetic power is a good answer. With the added advantage that telekinesis can also explain why he is able to fly.

I've guessed that Superman's ability of flight is either some for of telekinesis or his body has the ability to manipulate the gravity around, to include propelling itself through it. I'm inclined to believe the latter, because in Man of Steel, Superman's second attempt of flight shows the ground rippling and rocks levitating of the ground. This shows that his body can manipulate the gravity around it and even other objects can be affected to the point of being weightless. Another example of this feat I would refer to is from the original Christopher Reeves Superman movie. When he took Lois up and let her experience the feeling of flight, this Superman understood his ability and how it would affect Lois. Despite Superman's strength, it wasn't his strength that allowed him to share this experience with Lois, as her body wouldn't be able withstand being pulled along, let alone by her fingertips.

[@NastarNordmire]

I remember the old table top rpg of the DCU. Superman was stated as having a loss of invulnerability to magic not a weakness to it like kryptonite. That would mean that a magical weapon would be able to cut him just like a normal person without invulnerability.

Yes, the Christopher Reeve "Superman" was much closer to the original comic book character. In the "Man of Steel" re-boot film, Clark Kent did not push the school bus out of the water, because the laws of physics cannot support such a feat - the weight of the water, plus the pressure of the water, and the weight of the bus would have either imploded the bus, popped all of the windows and seams, or caused other damage making it impossible to hold the bus together!!! Superman's "powers" are NOT physically based, but primarily telekinetic, which was literally established over 30 decades ago in the comic books!!! Then, due to sagging sales of DC's flagship comic book character, in 1986 DC agreed to allow artist/writer John Byrne to relaunch the Superman franchise with a revamped origin and by also making the character much weaker. They intentionally made Superman weaker because DC's writers were not smart enough to create storylines and characters equal to or greater than Superman's powers and intellect, and because the Superman "character" did not convey "the diversity of social awareness" openly represented by most of Marvel's comic book characters, especially the X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc. The DC cinematic universe version of Superman does NOT represent the true, unbridled powers and intellect of the original comic book character.

[@marclevine3139]

My version of Superman was the 50’s early 60’s version where about the only thing that would bother him was Kryptonite and magic. I do remember reading later that there was a feeling he was too perfect. I also watched the old TV show with George Reeves, have seen all the movies, the Supergirl movie with Helen Slater, TV shows Lois & Clark, Smallville and more recently Supergirl, and now Superman and Lois on the CW. I was born in 1947 and comics helped me learn to read. I collected comics, Action, Superman, Superboy, Batman, etc. I know I had stopped by the time I went to college in 1965 but I’m not sure exactly when. I had quite a collection including the first Supergirl, Justice League, Bizarro, even had some Disney stuff like the 1st Uncle Scrooge. Unfortunately my mom threw them all out when I went to college. Always found it interesting how writers would adjust the “magnitude” of Clark’s powers to fit the plot. Superman could handle a nuke. Yet in one episode in Lois and Clark this stupid looking weapon hurt him by working at the “atomic level”. You don’t think a nuclear bomb works at the atomic level. I had the same feeling when seeing some girl who can harness electricity hurt Supergirl with it and had the same feeling about that ax type thing in the pilot episode. I also felt that Superman had to learn an important lesson. When fighting other supers “Don’t Hold Back”. In the second Christopher Reeve move when he fights Zod he needed to learn that. I thought the fight with the bully in the luncheonette was totally screwed up. After he hits Clark in the back and sends him through that glass wall instead of just going back and standing there Clark should have charged him and tackled him. They should have had a knock down drag out fight with Clark barely winning. He had to learn to not hold back. Don’t let the other guy get the first hit. Take the bastard out. It’s an important lesson he had to learn when fighting other supers. In a review of the movie Man of Steel in Entertainment Weekly the idiot actually complained about Superman killing Zod, breaking his neck. I jumped all over that review. Pointing out that in that second Reeve movie Superman kills Zod at the end and Zod didn’t even have powers then. In a Smallville episode in a cage fight Clark kills another super Krytonian by hitting him with every thing he had. I really liked that episode. The reviewer had no idea what he was talking about. BTW, the reviewer obviously revised the review later taking that garbage out. BTW, who's more powerful Capt Marvel or Superman/Supergirl? Captain Marvel doesn't need a yellow sun. She can travel the whole cosmos unencumbered. BUT, after seeing the Capt Marvel movie and Avengers Endgame it seems to me Supeman/Supergirl are stronger and can take a hit better. At least that’s true for the 50’s early 60’s comics version. BTW, I once proposed a much more scientific explanation for why a yellow sun gives Krytonians super powers. The yellow sun acts as a catalyst allowing them to metabolize nutrients according to E=MC^2. We chemically metabolize nutrients for energy; they are nuclear powered able to turn the total mass of nutrients into total energy. They are nuclear powered and able to control that. It even would explain Kryptonite. Kryptonite totally shuts that down. It would also explain something else. They don’t really need to breath. Oxygen is needed for us to oxidize our nutrients. They are nuclear powered, no need for O2. No problem flying in space. If there are any writers of the series reading this? I give you permission to use that concept. ;-) BTW, continuing the affects of the yellow sun on him as making him nuclear powered I proposed much different plots for the 3rd and 4th Christopher Reeve movies. Think Star Wars death star or later Independence Day. Extraterrestrial Invading force, Superman can block their weapons but could not bust their force fields. He gets them to come close to the sun. Supercharged he busts their force field and destroys them. Forth movie; he likes the high. Like someone taking steroids, like someone on drugs. He keeps flying to the sun to get his high like a drug addict.

[@marclevine3139]

In the 50’s and early 60’s Batman & Superman were friends and co-founders of the Justice League. I thought the whole concept of BvS was stupid. That being said Supergirl should be part of the JL. If she was, the resurrection of Superman would not have been needed in the JL movie. They would have had all they needed to take on Steppenwolf. With both available a great scene would have been Superman & Supergirl playing a tennis type game with Steppenwolf. One hits him sending him flying and the other hitting him sending him back. Back and forth over and over again with the other JL members looking on in amusement and enthusiasm.

Remember 1. Supe is always holding back, maybe not against doomsday but it's still a probability 2. Superman was severely weakened by kryptonite, and was hit by a nuke like immediately after getting kryptonite up his azz 3. The nuke didn't output any damage on superman physically or force impact wise, the only reason he got knocked out by the nuke NOT KILLED is because of the radiation poisoning which is evident to why his body and hair was practically left untouched 4. Superman was doing a lot more physical damage to doomsday than wonder woman, all wonder woman did that was close to superman was cut Doomsday's hand off and that was because of her sword, not her strength. 5. Superman has shown much more combat speed than wonder woman 6.

Back then during those Justice League cartoons, the Justice League only consisted of Superman, Green Lantern, Hawkman, The Flash and the Adam (who would ride on The Flash's Shoulder). Anyway, that 1967 Justice League cartoon episode was called "Target Earth". And there was one point where these alien beings shot a machine on the earth that put out an electromagnetic ray which was pulling the earth into the sun. Superman pushed the entire earth back into it's own orbit. And as if that wasn't bad enough, he was doing it against resistance because there was an electromagnetic ray pulling the earth towards the sun as he was pushing it back. Even when one of the alien beings in their spaceship (who shot that machine down to earth that was pulling it into the sun) said "INCREDIBLE!" when he witnessed what he saw Superman doing.

That's literally impossible no matter how powerful he is, and honestly kind of a major oversight.

[@j_m_b_1914]

Not necessarily. Sound waves would hit objects causing them to heat up ever so slightly. As things heat up and cool down, they emit infrared radiation. Superman's ears actually are tuned to also transform the subtle changes in infrared radiation into sound -- that's how he can hear things far away at the same time they actually happen (or at the speed of light). (This is just a wild crazy "in universe" explanation for how he could possibly hear things happening far away as they happen. I did a back of the napkin calculation on how much an object would heat up from a 50 db sound wave and it is around 10 to the negative 9 watts which is ridiculously small. However, the cool thing about this explanation is that it would also explain how Superman could hear things on Earth from in space.

Although I'd think all useful information to identify the soundwave would be lost when converted to radiative energy, and it would be impossible to pick out of the myriad of other minute radiative energy in the cosmos. But sure, I guess I could accept he has some way of doing that. It's something, at least.

[@Artryom]

@@vernonharley He’s a man, he’s not a human man. Pretty sure they still use earth lingo such as man as they use “Kryptonian” to technically substitute “human” for our species. If they can have babies with us as well, that means they’re not something ENTIRELY different either as you’ll never see humans have children with animals, with “its” and y’know… meaning their DNA makeup must be almost identical besides the mutations they undergo from yellow sun radiation to increase they’re existence entirely. They’re not “humans” but “man” can also be used for “male” which obviously he still is so I think you’re reading too much into that and it was a mistake on his part like how a person might call someone “it” or the wrong gender. “Alien” just mean planetary foreigner but not exactly species foreigner as well as I could be born on mars and be called alien, I, a human. “Man” can also be used to describe a male so in our lingo, he’d be a “man” even if he was a different species as well.

[@Artryom]

@@vernonharley You’re looking at it at an overly simplistic level, if their DNA is close enough to have children with us, that should qualify as being able to be called “man” and “human” but they’re not “Earthling” unless they were born on earth. DNA is what counts, they’re Kryptonian because they were born on a planet called “Krypton” and they’re “aliens” not by species but because they’re not from our planet. Funny how Canadians and foreigners from our own planet is called alien as well tho lol

You forgot 1 of Supermans greatest feats ever. The Christopher Reeves Superman , when Lois Lane had died, Superman flew around the world counter clockwise with such speed and strength that he caused the world to spin backwards and actually rewind time. So the same way that Flash can travel forwards and backwards through time using the speed force, Superman did that while taking the whole planet earth with him through the speed force. That might be his greatest display of both speed and strength ever. And that scene is from the very first Superman movie with Christopher Reeves.

Superman has his own gravity field. Like in the comics, it increases his strength and allows him to gravitate himself in any direction. "Fly".

[@gibster9624]

And he controls that field of things he touches which is why when he catches a plane it doesn't immediately fold in half.

[@russm4391]

It's called tactile telekinesis and it explains a lot but it is barely mentioned as one of his abilities in the comics. The only one with true tactile telekinesis is superboy.

[@gibster9624]

@@russm4391 Also he uses the word gravitate incorrectly. Gravity or to gravitate is a force that pulls towards an object. It's impossible to gravitate in any direction. The telekinesis explanation makes so much more sense.

Not gravity field. In comic, they explained it as electromagnetism. That's why superman can fly anywhere he could even without gravity

If he was moving tectonic plates pre death.. he was leagues beyond WW and the others before death. The resurrection may have awoken him a bit more to what he could really do. But he definitely had that power beforehand.

[@tidusdm]

Great video, and thanks. I do have my opinion about why Wonder Woman's lasso did not work on Superman. I believe it did not fully work on him because he had control of it at all times since it only wrapped around his forearm, but he was holding it with his right hand. And I do wonder if he is susceptible to magic, as in the comics, because although he had some control of the lasso it did affect him but not enough that he couldn't shake it off. The example using Doomsday would not a good example to use to compare resistance to magic because you can see how Doomsday was immobile as a result of the lasso wrapped around his body and arms, so he had not control over it the way Superman did in the video clip you showed. This was a fun video to watch so thank you for that.

[@Theblobmma]

It was working on him until he pulled her

[@michaelb2226]

I don't think superman was resisting ww laso. He was just risen from the dead. He has no memories and ww says "Kal-El the last son of krypton, remember who you are, tell me who you ahhh" In that moment ww asked him to remember a life he never had further confusing him. He didn't grow up and have a life as kal el the Kryptonian. He grew up as Clark And had the life of a farmer.

[@boboboy8189]

According to Snyder, superman woke up but his mind is blank. He didn't know why those league came to him. So when cyborg suddenly shoots him, he saw them as threat. Diana try to use lasso because her lasso can shows truth to person that hold it. That's why after he grab lasso, his memories come back to him but it's too sudden so he pull Diana toward him

[@michaelb2226]

@@boboboy8189 but it was Lois who brought his memories back by calling out Clark. The lasso just seemed to further confuse him. The lasso doesn't show you the truth. It compels you to speak the truth. That's why she said tell me who you ahhh. If she got to complete her sentence and he said his name, I'm sure the memories would have inadvertently came back on its own

As you point out supes caught Doomsday's punch which WW could only block with her shield and got knocked back quite far so wouldn't that mean he was originally stronger than her? One thing I thought was cool that ppl seem to ignore is supes speed is at least as fast as the flash. Because of his toughness he could do a ton more damage if he added the Flash's speed to the mix. I'll keep watching to see if it is addressed, I've reached the bit about the mother box and resurrection.

A fun video, but it makes a lot of assumptions about time and distances for example without taking into account film & editing approaches. We often cut to a character arriving in film without this meaning that they have travelled at Mach speeds to get to their destination. So a lot of the speculation about exact speeds etc is very much open to interpretation. You also didn't mention how he can carry a wide building or a flimsy human at such speeds without them sustaining damage - the standard explanation for this is that his flight power is not really gravitational, but telekinetic, and that whatever force he uses can also affect objects and people he touches, so that they are similarly carried along without suffering damage. But some nice observations, and a good vid overall!
