If you know, you know!!!

I still believe all of the avengers and thanos could jump him at once, and he'd still win

I know many don't like Superman cause he's ridiculously OP, but the fact he is ridiculously OP and can swat aside the entire league without effort but stays humble n a protector of those weaker, is what makes him amazing. Cause any human with power like that, would fall to base desire and become objectively evil

He is so powerful that he can make Thanos look like a toddler throwing a tantrum

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.

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.

Ah yes. It's him. The hierarchy of power in the DC universe.

Thank you for speaking on how Superman is the most powerful being in the Universe.

I always believed his real strength is his humanity. He represents our inner strength, we can have that mercy and humbleness as well. It's not the yellow sun that makes him special. It's his heart.

Superman's superhearing is telepathic in nature, channelled through his ears, that is why he can hear in space, where the is no atmosphere for sound to vibrate.

Superman had feats of strength in Man of Steel that were way more than anything Wonder Woman has ever done.

I love how no one puts together that he has telekinetic powers. He has telekinetic powers. This is how he can hear sounds faster than the speed of sound. He just internalizes his ability to sense all movement around him faster than the speed of light as sound.

I'm sure someone has already mentioned this example of Superman strength. In the movie Superman Returns, he literally carves out an entire Island loaded with kryptonite and lifts it out of the ocean and into outer space, while a shard of Kryptonite remains embedded in him from an earlier stabbing by Lex Luthor. That's pretty damn impressive.

25:15 In some iterations, he is known for having an indomitable will. So, it may be more of that rather than magic resistance.

Thank you for not repeatedly mentioning his body hair in this one, I know that took restraint...

A really good example of just how strong he was after he was resurrected was when WW threw her lasso at him and he caught it with one hand. She then pulled with both hands, both her feet were braced against the marble steps, while she leaned backwards, using all her strength. He pulled her to him with one hand, breaking the marble steps her feet were braced against.

Superman can't punch villains with his true power because he could destroy a whole city along with his foe.

Bro Henry cavil supes is just ridiculous at this point, will be interesting to see that throw down with rock/adam but he's incredibly powerful and we've barely scratched the surface of his power

Biggest issue I have with not letting Zach Snyder finish his trilogy is now we’ll probably never get to see Henry cavil Superman vs Darksied

You don't mention Superman's intelligence level. I remember reading Superboy comics in the Sixties. He'd be in high school, taking a math test, and deliberately flubbing a couple of questions so he'd only get a 98% grade. A lot of storyline is spent on Batman's cleverness and creativity, but I think Superman has always kept his true intellect in check -- otherwise he really would appear so godlike as to be virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

"He'll be a god to them"-Jor El Enough said.

I think even more underutilized than freeze breath is his ability to go beyond X-ray vision, which is seeing on the subatomic level, meaning he can literally see your DNA and what makes you tick, and how your cells react to different things, so he could defeat you so that you’d never regenerate, even if you did have that ability. I always wanted to see a movie where they’d just let Superman be Superman, showing how much effort he has to put in every day to not break the earth, much less, humans. And maybe even acquiring an immunity to Kryptonite because of constant exposure.

You did overlook one thing, one power that Superman has that also separates him from his heroic peers: his morality. The innate goodness instilled in him by his earthly parents has always been his core. In the comics, he is often referred to as the "Big Blue Boy Scout,' oddly in a derogatory way, most often by other heroes. His appreciation for the lives of all living beings drives who he is. (I am speaking here more of his persona in the print media. I did have a moral problem with this character in the DCEU breaking Zod's neck.)

Yes he is all of that until he fights Batman then he forgets half of his abilities and refuses to actually use any intelligence he actually has

My uncle, after 1 shot of Hennessy, could one-shot Superman

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.

And bro was only Superman for like 2 or 3 years in his universe with only 3 appearances, just imagine how more powerful he can be

The codex of krypton is within him. He is the whole of Krypton’s might.

Been waiting for the updated 2022 version of this

Really wish you'd used ZSJL. Even if you made like a seperate section for it. I know it isn't "technically" canon, but I'm pretty sure everyone considers it so. There was even a controversy about the Josstice League version of Steppenwolf showing up in Black Adam which was changed due to fan outcry.

Fantastic, one of the best step-by-step explanations of superman's power.

Great video, very informative. Don't get opportunity to watch movies much these days so this was a very enjoyable substitute too. Thanks 🤘

It is kinda crazy how powerful Superman is in comparison to his own verse and the majority of MCU. Like his AP is high asf but his speed rly kills iy

It's not what he can do, it's what he doesn't do, that makes him the greatest superhero

Channel...where have you been all my life? Amazing vid all the way around!!!

He literally has the cells of all of his Kryptonians

I don’t know why I keep thinking this but I always assumed that cavill Superman got a power boost when he was resurrected

Dope ass video my guy, so good. I love these sorts of videos.

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.

Those that don’t know, he is forbidden to mess with time….. but he did anyway in the first Superman movie.

We also forget that even in his fight with Batman he's always holding back he barely ever really wants to use his full strength cause he's almost always trying to be a good guy

24:37 Superman is not weak to Magic at all. He's just isn't invulnerable to it. The Magic only counts as a Vulnerability not a weakness. He has shown to have a Indomitable Will to resist Magic.

*Thanx for sharing this info on supes now we as superman fans can defend superman as a character more efficiently*

Dude, that’s the best info on superman ever.

I remember a fight scene starring Christopher Reeve - Superman II 1980, where in the Fortress Of Solitude he briefly becomes invisble and also appears as a hologram in different places simultaneously. That power did not reflect in any of the later films if I remember correctly.

“Wait, what’s your father’s name?!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Right at the end you mention about reversing time. Well Superman turned back time in the 1978 movie! He flew around Earth so fast he reversed time before the Dam broke to save a loved one 😁

How am I just now discovering your channel? This video was epic! Kudos.

Let’s gooo, new power scaling vid dropped Can’t wait to see how the meta changed Also if you want, feel free to use my Doc about the Snyder Cut’s relation to canon; might help if people ever question why the TC of JL is canon

Don’t try to ruin really long showers man. They’re magical.

Nice video bro keep it up👍

One of the DC comic writers stated last year that Supermans' secret has always been that he has "tactile telekinesis." This is how he can pick up a jet airplane without it folding in half or his hand simply puncturing through the skin of the aircraft - he's creating an energy field around the object he's touching, which is also likely how he is willing his own body to "fly", or carry another person in the air by simply holding their arm.

I’ve always been a Superman fan!#1 I’m wondering now how strong is Zeus if he can one hit the mother boxes and separate them. That might actually be a really good match up in the DCEU.

Here it is, the Key Issues magnum opus. 26 minutes of brilliance.

Ty very much I needed to nerd out and this was perfect....

As powerful as he has to be for the plot. If he was ever consistently as powerful as he should be, he would have been untouchable by anyone that isn't a god. So he is either not as powerful as he should be or is severely incompetent despite his absurd power combination. Also, majority of superman's power make more sense if he is straight up psychokinetic due to the empowerment to his mind. The Plutonian is an example of a well explained version of superman because all of his powers come from his innate capability to sense and manipulate all the particles around him on a massive scale as if he is a master of psychokinesis.

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.

A key thing to remember is superman is written to not always merely overpower all situations with strength. It's to also demonstrate alternative solutions. He is and will always be a symbol of hope. And hope doesn't die. Ala how's he written. And different writers do different things. For consistency compare same writer to himself for better results too.

I think that since it’s sometimes questioned wether or not Superman is stronger than Zeus or a war empowered ares it’ll definitely be close. Superman will probably still win but the movie showed that black Adam has access to a deeper power he can’t really control. Even a semi control over it allowed him to rip shabaq in half. Although, I still believe Superman will inevitably body him.

Awesome video dude. 🔥👏

He was stated to be stronger then a planet pre JL. That’s the one part I feel is inconsistent. I think it’s possible BVS Supes has better AP and versatility then Diana she was just more skilled and possibly faster in combat. I think BVS Supes is underrated

I feel like when it was stated he was the strongest being in the universe, it was referring to strongest alive, because Zeus was able to split the mother boxes in a single blast while Superman struggled for several seconds to split an already almost separated set

24:36 Superman fought a being called Mordru a Dark Magician with an entire universe of magic at his disposal as mentioned prior and survive several magical attacks on this level numerous time before going against other characters.

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!

I think there are ellipses between the different places where Superman is shown flying, but all of them may occure during the same day. When he flies above water, the cone form indicates he got over sound barrier. The cone is indeed a real thing in a humid atmosphere.

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.

His flight "mechanism" as well as some of his other abilities are tied into his manipulation of gravimetric force through will using the innate bioenergy field generated by his empowered cells (which are capable of soaking up all manner of energies just as the chaotic abomination "Doomsday" did, though he metabolizes them in a far more controlled fashion).

Yes! We have yet to see Superman's limit to his powers.

Excellent analysis! I’m hoping you’ll do one on Superboy as his strength and abilities have been all over the map. I’m referring to the Superboy who’s the clone of Superman and Lex.

He's Superman. Our world's GREATEST Hero! We all know how badass he is. Just imagine if he let lose and didn't hold back.. unstoppable period.. Superman!

I like how you called Superman "it". Many people forget Super"man" is an alien

Hey Key issue you never did a video on dupli kate like you said in rexslpode origins I just had ego point that out also I really enjoyed the invincible videos :)

Cool video! A few issues with science, especially physics but entertaining. Nothing can move faster then the speed of light also the faster you move the slower time moves.

I was certain MAGIC was something he is vulnerable to. He can't see through lead. Kryptonite can be a killer. Angry green man gives him a Hulk of a fight. Then again, it is up to the writers to decide what abilities he has got and vulnerabilities he has. He has to go farther in his little black book and get past "L" (Lana Lang, Lois Lane)

i think they might go with the magic weakness thing for black adam to have more of a fair fight but superman is def #1 rn theyre obvi not gonna kill eachother and they'll reach an understanding sometime

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.

I love the decimal place accuracy in exatons. Not throwing .4 exaton rounding around casually.

Super man powers grows over time.

Some sources state that Zack Snyder's Justice League is considered Canon

Great breakdown, Superman all day everyday

This is so fantastic? Thank You.

The flaw with super hearing is that it's constrained by the speed of sound, so that even if he could hear Lois all the way from Smallville 1500 miles away, it takes sound nearly 2 hrs to travel that distance. By the time he hears her, she should have been long dead from the fall.

He's more powerful now cause he was resurrected by a motherbox in ZSJL.

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.

Such a great video and logic used through the entire lenght, to bad that script writters and directors don't use those pesky little facts when they are developing new movies, so in the eye of directors for the next movies, superman power will be right where the plot points are needed to be :D

All that abilities and powers that Superman has yet you missed his greatest trope, *His kind HEART*

Superman knows what you're doing in there, and he's disgusted..

Tactile telekinesis has been given as the reason for him being able to carry large objects without them breaking or him puncturing them or fly fast while holding ppl. That can only be have the equation, for even with Telekinesis you'd still be flying through the wind at insane speeds unprotected, the only answer for this problem is him having gravitational manipulation, meaning he can generate his own field of gravity to distort the effects it would have on someone or something being carried by him, in theory having control of hesitations fields also gives him a slew of other powers.

I love the humor added to this video. Absolutely Hilarious!

I count ZSJL as canon for the sole fact that flash is way cooler than josstice league

Black Adam: finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be glorious!!!

I would have utilized the sequences from the original Justice League, the Snyder's one. I love your explanations on Superman powers evolution.

Well done!

Superman is my favorite comic book character by far. He sneezed in one comic and destroyed an entire solar system. HOWEVER, Ain't nobody in the DCU or MCU messing with Darkseid!

He's back baby 💪💪💪💪

I remember Superman was in the Orion system, and Jimmy turned his watch on. The dude heard that in the vacuum of space billions of light years away. Superman got there so fast it was insane.

The part where Superman can hear everything is a part that bugs me. Sure he can hear things but sound is still sound. If Louis falls and screams hear soundwave would not reach him before she hits the ground.

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.

The one part out of nowhere: “so you see the more you fu¢k around the more you going to find out” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m in tears 😂

One question, would there be any change to this power level in the Zack Snyder version? Bearing in mind that in that version the Flash's energy was also needed to separate the mother boxes Thanks, nice video👍
