If the world blows up...

[williamtheday]

Is the Superman version of today invulnerable to survive?

[williamtheday]

Invulnerable enough to survive?

[Superlad93]

Yeah. I'd say he could tank it, but he'd knock himself out and wake up concussed more than likely.

This is actually the reason they changed the source of Superman's powers from "Kryptonians are just like that" to "only under a yellow sun or in Earth's lighter gravity" in the first place. Originally, everyone from Krypton was hella strong and durable, but as Superman got stronger and stronger, eventually his writers realized that if every Kryptonian was as invincible as the Man of Tomorrow, they'd all have survived Krypton's destruction and found another planet to live on, or even just lived in space! So as a quick and dirty retcon, a Kryptonian had to spend some time on Earth to become Super!

That is a great explanation for the change! Thanks!

I never knew why they made the change nor ever heard it explained. Now it makes sense.

I don't think I ever knew that, either!

I definitely think Clark could take the destruction of a planet and survive. Probably without serious injury too. He might be scrapped up some, but nothing too serious.

He spent two months in space after flying out of a black hole, so if he can withstand that (and I do believe that must still be in-continuity, yeah?) he can withstand a planet exploding.

Technically they could have made it that all the other Kryptonians who weren't in shielded rockets and being propelled away by those rockets died because of all that kryptonite created at the moment the planet exploded-

[manwhohaseverything]

Didn't he tank an explosion of a planet without a scratch in the previous run.
