Can Superman hurt himself?

[vogon13]

Think about it. Could he zap his hand with his x-ray vision sufficiently to damage it? If he can't, why can't he?<br /><br />You can tell it's getting late and I'm getting a little zorched. If this is a dumb topic, let me know and I'll 86 it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

I would think that Superman would be able to do to himself everything he did to Zod and the gang in Superman II.<br /><br />That fight was a stalemate. He could hurt himself, cause pain, but not cause permanent damage.

While there's a Superman thread I have a question.<br /><br />How far from the sun can Superman get before he looses his powers?<br /><br />Since the Kryptonians weren't super, we know that there's a limit. Lightyears from a yellow star they have no power.<br /><br />Is he still super on Mars, at Jupiter?

<b>How far from the sun can Superman get before he looses his powers? <br /></b><br /><br />I have no idea.......... but on this forum (link below) the same sort of question was asked. Apparently there's a suggestion that Superman's able to 'store' solar power.... <br /><br />http://www.killermovies.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-320479

Yeah, forgot about the fight with Zod and the other criminals. And we don't need to delve into his substance abuse problem in SM3 or was it SM4.<br /><br />Wow. Does he get stronger closer to the sun? What about in the sun? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

<i>I don't suppose he could survive a black hole?</i><br /><br />Hmmm, at the end of the first Superman film, didn't he turn back time by making the Earth spin in the opposite direction? He did so by flying around the Earth really fast, way faster than 7.5 times per second, which would imply Superman can fly faster than the speed of light!! So, he could certainly escape from within the event horizon of a black hole! <br /><br />Yes. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>***</p> </div>

Superman and Birdman - power from the same source.<br /><br />Hmmm, I sense a never to be seen story there...<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

It was the image of super-strength sperm trying to fertilize a beachball that did it for me... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

For Superman to hurt or kill himself, all he'd have to do is hold, swallow or put Kryptonite in his clothing...Remember, that is the only thing that can kill him....

 

[jmilsom]

Yes.<br /><br />1. Sprinkle powdered Kryptonite on his cornflakes.<br /><br />2. Fly into a black hole. <br /><br />3. Relinquish his powers like he did in Superman2?<br /><br />4. Fall in love with a woman that has no interest in him. <br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
