How do non-flying villains ever beat flying Supes?
Superman can lift a gorillion tons, how does Darkseid suppress him with a portion of his body weight?

On a similar note, DC have said Supes has some sort of force field that allows him to lift buildings and whatever the frick.
How does Hulk lift ridiculous weights without destroying roads with the force going completely through his feet?
That was an epic cover that got me hyped for the issue but it was such a brief moment inside.
He's just that angry
>How does Hulk lift ridiculous weights without destroying roads with the force going completely through his feet?
I think it was back during WWH they had Cho casually tell Banner "Oh, you do physics simulations in your mind so you always know exactly where to lift the building to not break anything, which means no one has ever been at risk of collateral damage coming from Hulk at any point"
This stuff is for children, it doesn't need to make sense
Oh come on, it's adults keeping the comic industry afloat.
Verisimilitude is important. If you want people to accept there are superheroes with laserbeam eyes, you need to get the small stuff right.
god i fricking hate the "its for children therefore you cannot criticize it" argument.
hollywood superhero movies don't make a billion dollars because billions of toddlers go to the theater you absolute imbecile.
capeshit is made with the notion that adults are going to watch it.
it's not criticizing it, it's questioning the logics behind a product intended for kids created 100 years ago. this kind of argument has the same value as asking why batman is never shot in the head, ie. none.
>capeshit is made with the notion that adults are going to watch it.
lol lmao even
it's for everyone, but it's kids who move the real money because they drag their parents to the cinema and buy 90% of the merchandise
Back 100 years ago Superman couldnt levitate himself at the speed of light, survive in space, or move planets, so him not just grabbing his flightless opponents to zero gravity and then pummeling them made more sense.
>children
>reading comics
Not a thing. Comics are only bought by people 30+, and the vast majority of readers are in their 40s and 50s.
>children forcing their families to watch movies
Anon, median age in the US is 38 and people under 15 are 9% of the population. Most millenials never had any children. Even if every 5-14 yo dragged 2 parents to watch a movie, they are still at best potentially 18% of the market. We are not in the 90s anymore.
Also, asking the writers to maybe think of more creative ways in which a Flying Brick can use their powers besides brawling isnt too much. It is their job to entertain us and they make these beings who can take nukes unfazed and lift buildings fight like WWE wrestlers.
Thought terminating cliches are for people who have no thoughts.
Bumping this thread for later, I love discussing the implications of various superpowers but don't have time right now
If you want to get down to it the Darkseid in your pic is just an emanation of Darkseid. His form is outside of the multiverse and his emanations have less of a fraction than the whole power that Darkseid has.
That's just the skim of lore about Darkseid.
Wasn't that Grant Morrison lore from years after this show ended?
And haven't they since started using his true form with considerable frequency?
yes
and it's canon no matter what you try
For his sake I hope it's not meta like Mr. Mxy or else he has a lot to answer for, for his Super Friends depiction.
Capeshit canon mattering is like the opinions of homeless people. It doesn’t mean shit.
No, Darkseid having avatars was mentioned long before Morrison.
Comics going on for decades with the same characters is a mistake unless they continually reboot.
Pic very much related.
Knull fricking sucked. A DeviantArt OC if ever I saw one.
OP didn't ask about Darkseid's moronic backstory, he asked why super strength doesn't make any sense using Darkseid as an example
Go to bed Morrison.
Wasn't Darkseid being that tough FROM this series?
In the comics he usually used omega effect stuff rather than get in close like a bruiser.
In Super Friends he was a wimp.
>how does Darkseid suppress him with a portion of his body weight?
Darkseid is.
Reminder that Darkseid uses to lose fist fights with Orion on the regular in older comics.
>how does Darkseid suppress him with a portion of his body weight?
by being thicc as hell
I miss femseid
Hhnnggg wtff
>how does Darkseid suppress him with a portion of his body weight?
Weight is force. If Darkseid can apply a whole lot of force then his weight doesn't matter.
Darkseid's power set is as inconsistent as Power Girl's origin.
But it's not just Darkseid, it's one example. There's tons of this in cartoons where a stronger character holds down a flying character.
0 other examples.
Agreed. Ruined the symbiotes for me.
Now Carnage is a symbiote dragon or something.
>quoted my deleted post
If you're wondering where it went, for some reason Cinemaphile decided to auto-paste whatever I had copied at the time and made it the greentext of my post because Cinemaphile is stupid sometimes.
Superman is dumb/chevalier and always just dives into his enemies fist-first instead of flying away and blasting them with heat vision. In fact, Superman doesn't seem to like using Heat Vision most of the time.
Almost like he is written to have prolongued, and personally involved, back and forth action scenes rather than just go for one and done nothing personel quick kills.
Because when Superman looks up, he see nothing but Darkseid's penis and anus underneath his skirt.
Comic's tend to ignore Newton's third law of motion.
Darkseid is a literal god. No Kryptonian is more powerful than him.
Now's probably the best time to post Dongseid.
