Superman & Wonder Woman vs The Justice League

[Cody]

They seem to tone down the weaknesses for him a bit due to not being as strong as the guy they were usually very effective on: PC Superman.

Seriously, between him, Post Crisis Superman, and Nu Superman, HE was always the most effected by the stuff than the others. Why? He was so damn powerful is why and DC knew that. So they brought in two weaknesses that really hurt him: Kryptonite and Magic. To try and even it out a bit. Post Crisis Superman was nowhere near as strong as PC Superman so they toned down the weakness to magic and kryptonite quite a bit as he wasn't as op'd as PC Supes. They may end up doing similar to Nu Superman, depending on how powerful he gets.

I think at this point you just need to turn his entire body into kryptonite to have any significant affect. Though yeah he did survive a nuke while exposed, a nuke that he purposely set off no less.

Did he yell his name before he did it?

Or YOLO?

Did he yell YOLO?

[Surtur]

I think he wakes up every morning and hits a button which assigns him a random percentage of vulnerability to kryptonite, red sun radiation, and magic.

Unfortunately no, he just blasted a robot that had a nuke..or was powered by a nuke, or had a nuke inside it for some other reason. I'm sure the robot wasn't sentient..probably.

Plus lets be honest, this is the DC universe where death is a revolving door. He'd probably shout something like "You only live..4,267 times".

We might be overlooking Green Lantern here. Whether it's Hal, John, Guy, or Kyle, if he's firing on all cylinders, he could use the ring to send Superman and Wonder Woman to another dimension...or molecularly rearrange them.

At least, that's what a Silver Age GL would have done; these days, GLs seem to use their rings only to make light constructs.

The problem is speed. Seriously if they were even near Supermans speed then a lantern would be one of the most deadliest sobs in DC. Most of the time they are only at CBPH reactions which really messes them up.

Love your avatar, sig(s) and title btw.

The problem is speed.

Yes, but that's not all of it. GL's have gotten a tremendous power drop since post-Crisis, much less the Silver Age.

That's sad to hear. The NU52 series is still new however so there is a chance for them to get stronger.

Sad thing is that means there is a chance NU Superman will also get a lot more powerful as time passes on. Seriously, compare what Pre-Flashpoint/Post-Crisis Superman was near the end of his reign to what he was at the very beginning of his reign. That is a pretty large growth in power. NU Superman basically started out being more powerful than Post Crisis Superman. I won't be surprised at all if he is near or at PC Superman levels near the end of his reign.

In the good old days, a GL had a guaranteed stop for Supes, assuming the GL wasn't blitzed. Supes had another weakness which wasn't always stated. He was vulnerable to antimatter. Thus, in some references the Legion's Wildfire was dangerous. Normal matter and anti - just blow up. GLs could produced antimatter. In fact Hal did it very early on in his debut issues. Hosing Supes with such and that's bye bye. This technique was pretty much ignored to going back to the big ol' green slap or construct squeeze. Esoteric GL effects are not that popular and part of PIS.

The problem is still speed - he doesn't have time to think antimatter (at least, unprepped), before Clark rips his ring-arm off and beats the rest of the league to death with it.

It would probably take a Flash/GL teamup to effectively deal with Superman.

Flash distracts Superman, and while Kal is dealing with the Flash, GL uses whichever of the ring's functions would best deal with a Kryptonian.

Somehow, I think a Flash wearing a GL power ring could *really* cause problems for Superman.

Thanks. It's a way to state evidence of my longevity, since the reboot stripped most other evidence of it away.

Kinda depends on the writer - for the most part, people simply don't have the willpower to use the ring. I could see Flash not being capable of doing anything with it, with most writers.

[Captain Morgan]

Two things to correct here. Flash has already shown he can phase through Kryptonians and phase them through stuff. He's also shown he is faster than Superman. He's got this.

Also, Superman has been dropped by just brief exposure to Batman's K-ring. The shard in his brain for hour thing didn't happen. There was a self-contained tesseract in his head which housed the krypnite. When it was ruptured, he was still alive and conscious (and exploding tesseract in the brain is a great durability feat) but the kryptonite was going to kill him without intervention, make no mistake.

[Cody]

Yea but how much of an effect did Kryptonite have on NU Superman?

Trinity War he had a shard in his brain, it slowly (emphasis on slowly) made him sick

When did he phase through a Kryptonian? He partially phased himself from Supergirl's attack and he vibrated himself and her through the wall.
