"Superman" #38 Debuts New Power, New Costume for the Man of Steel

[Alucard2099]

He looks like he has claws lol and he's in a berserker mode.....Wolverine in DC confirmed XD

[Tandaemonium]

Solar Flare!



But that's more of a defensive move, whereas as far as close to the same but as a finishing move...

Final Flash:

New belt okay.

Other changes.....ugh. Old new was way better.

Not going to speculate on this new power and what it means for the story. I just know that once it's revealed, there will be a whole new thread about Superman being grossly overpowered again. That's a debate people love to not shut up about. I'd rather not participate, but I'm more concerned about what Johns is doing with Ulysses. He was once a very intriguing character. Then the last issue made him a big too Zod-ish. I hope that changes with this issue because we already have a Zod. We don't need another one.

You don't like the return of the pre-Flashpoint boots?

I actually liked the previous collar with the red piping, and it wouldn't look out of place with this outfit. The fingerless gloves look silly though. But I like the rest of it. Never liked his belt with it's own diamond shape. Most artists drew it as if it were barely touching his belt at all.

Didn't Kara have a similar power in the earlier part of her Supergirl run? It was one of the ways the writers were trying to differentiate her from Clark. Correct me if I'm wrong. I mean it looks just like Clark is expelling solar energy in a area burst instead of directionally.

Also, the fingerless gloves are a horrible touch.

[steeplejack2112]

Yuck. To every aspect of this.

[JBatmanFan05]

Yikes. I still greatly favor the pre-FP costume, the classic one.

Yes, she also had a sonic scream, but I don't think she's used any of those things after the original creative team left.

She did, it was an area-effect release of solar energy she used a few times, notably in her fight against the Worldkillers, against Wonder Woman in H'el on Earth, and she also destroyed her Sanctuary with it. Since then the only times I thought I saw her use anything like that were in Red Lanterns when she broke out of the GL's containment cell, and in the same book when she found out that the Red Ring couldn't be removed. In both of those occasions it was red rather than orange/yellow, I'm not sure if was even the same thing.

Oh wow this new power looks intense. As others have said I am looking forward to see other artists draw the new custome before making a final judgement call. But it looks fine, as long as the Trunks didn't come back then I didn't mind what they did.

[Agent Z]

Is this really something he needed? I mean the guy already has the 'too many powers' argument against him.

maybe...I think he has enough powers

Why is JRJR's art getting worse as the years chug along? I really loved his X-Men stuff in the 80's, but nearly everything after has been cringe-inducing to me.
