Can we just take a minute to appreciate how unbelievably dumb this is?
I was re-reading some old Infinite Crisis build up comics and forgot this absolute nonsense. And people always point to the Silver Age for Superman pulling bizarre new powers out of his S. ;)
What's your favourite stupid one-and-done Superman power (or Red Kryptonite transformation)?

I'm going to have to go with Rebuild-The-Great-Wall-of-China-Vision.

Although I can understand why he doesn't get to use that power often.
Who wrote that looking into the soul thing?

Blame Waid for that. He introduced that power in Birthright.

This was Mark Verheiden's short run.

Oof, there's more of this power? I'll chuck it on the pile of reasons I'm leary of Waid taking over the super-books.

You'd think with the amount of destruction that goes on in Metropolis he'd use it all the time. Or does it only work on the Great Wall?
the ability to see the soul is fine with me.
1: gives superman powers that go beyond the physical.
2: everyone's powers evolve, why not those of superman.
Another power that I like is being able to see emotions.
I personally like the "Superman can see souls" idea, but I'd rather it not be associated with morality or anything like that. Just Superman seeing this wonderful vision that makes him love life in ways we can't completely understand (but still somewhat relate to, if we've ever found beauty in life, nature, people or anything like that), and further add to why he refuses to take a life unless completely necessary.

Ah yes. How could I forget that time Superman was Raven XD
Though, given all the weird shit he did in earlier comics (like how he just conveniently has a machine that turns white people black), this is pretty damn tame. I can live with the Soul Vision more than I can some of the crazier abilities he had in the past.

I actually like this one. To me is not a new power, but just his super vision.
Bryne made his powers come from his aura, and him seeing other people's aura, or soul, works fine under that premise

I actually prefer clark doing wierd things.than the flying brick basic abilities.He is an �� alien.It is about time he felt like it.Change his movements and everything.Soul vision is a bit too messianic though..
I can understand it, but it doesn't fit for a character like Superman.
A lot of people forget the soul vision (probably) didn't look at the literal soul. Clark could see an aura of some kind around living creatures, same as he can see the electromagnetic spectrum, but in the case of soul vision he didn't know what he was looking at. He just knew it was around most living things and it not being there made him uncomfortable. It was called soul vision simply for the lack of a better term, and used to help justify Clark being a vegetarian in Birthright.
I didn't like the name but I do like the idea of Clark sensing things we haven't discovered yet.
I don't mind being able to see auras. It only bugs me as an explanation for why he sees the good in people or why he seeks to preserve life and became a vegetarian. It struck me as excessively cynical for him to need a super vision to see the good in people. When it comes to certain things, Clark's senses shouldn't be any better than ours.
