    I'm not even sure what comic heroes are like that (outside of an issue of "the Crossed")? you have any recommendations (expecting a very general and fanboy biased answer, naming off whatever Marvel titles you can think of)? I have no need to knock you or anything you are interested in nor have I yet, and i appreciate your love for superman. It's just too bad not everyone feels exactly the same.

    In the Ultimate Universe, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were an item (they were brother and sister, and the Wolvy of that Universe, whose MUCH crazier than the Wolvy of 616 (which is saying something), watched. In the Wildstorm Universe, the heroes practically became the villains and had managed to cow the government into a fearful subversion. In both Ultimate Marvel and Wildstorm, heroes were more concerned about public opinion than actually fighting crime or the like and were often jerky assholes who killed lots of innocent bystanders in fights that could have EASILY been saved were they not assholes.

    Now, this is NOT the case with 616 (though, in this new dark age, anything is possible).

    Some good 616 stories (or just good in general) that I recommend are:

    -The Avengers: The Korvac Saga

    -The Avengers: The Bride of Ultron

    -The Avengers: Assault on Mt. Olympus

    -The Avengers: The Serpent Crown

    -The Avengers: The Private War of Dr. Doom

    -Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage

    -Marvels (ESPECIALLY Marvels)

    -Most of the stuff with Deadpool because it just LOVES to take the piss out of the chaos that 616 has and often does get into.

    -Secret Wars

    -Secret Wars II (see the parenthesis for Marvels)

    -The Phoenix Saga

    -The Dark Phoenix Saga

    -The trade paper back Spider-Man: Venom

    -Marvel: Earth X

    -That Thor run from the 80's that I hear is actually pretty good but I've never read personally that I still wanna read because everyone says it's beast.

    -Spider-Man: The Death of Kraven

    -That Trade-Paper back Spider-Man and the fantastic four

    -Most of the Marvel Essentials stuff.

    -Some other stuff I can't quite think up of at the moment.

    @toptom: Usually, you should make a thread on the bug reporting thread. But the only person on here who I know responds to these type of problems is a staff member called @rorie. That should get your problem out there to the relevant authority.

    There should be no distinction between flying speed and combat speed. They're both speeds which Superman could use in a fight.

    Not any time soon since last I checked, the respect thread is totally broken and the scans can't be enlarged by clicking on them. You need to mention this to the Bug Staff again Toptom.

    @lvenger: @zandalf: sadly i have spent a lot of time searching for other images and feats regarding his weaknesses and i've also found them but my computer crashed and i have lost ALL of them.

    No Caption Provided

    Then with the new computer i managed to find again some of them, but i accidentally have cancelled the file that was containing them.

    No Caption Provided

    So actually i have lost some interest in it and i don't think i'll do it again..even because now i am more interested into the new-52 Superman, and when he'll have enough feats in every department i'll definitively do another respect thread about him like this one and hopefully even better...and that's a promise!

    (now "i" just have to make work this thread AGAIN...)

    @toptom: That is damn unfortunate, I'm really sorry that you've lost all those awesome scans mate. Hopefully your New 52 respect thread will be more successful. As for getting this thread back on track, I'd suggest contacting @rorie or other members of the Bug reporting staff to fix this error. Hopefully this will be something they can do. And if not, my recent CAV has required me to save a plethora of scans to my laptop so maybe I could remake this over the summer if it comes to it?

    This is damn true, but i was upset more for the time i've lost than for the scans! Then if they can not fix this thread i am glad that you will be the one who remakes it, and if you need some of these ^^ scans i should still have them on another hard disk or (now that i am thinking about this) they all are still in the image section of my profile.

    A lot of this is bullshit, he didn't survive the explosion 50 times bigger than a supernova, it says that he survived the elctromagnetic shockwaves from that explosion, it is stated in the same scan the exploding ball of radiation from the explosion would have incinerated him as soon as it touched him, meaning he cannot survive 50 supernovas, not even close, he will be instantly incinerated.

    ...actually i was thinking i should delete this blog in order to make a better one, like the one i did for new-52 Superman, so i could also add his latest and more relevant feats and put them in sections with a description for every feat or at least every group of similar feats.

    I thought you were just making a Rebirth Superman respect thread? Damn a new Superman respect thread from scratch sounds like a tall order.

    Maybe there's a nice striking feat in Superman # 6.

    That explosion of 10 megaton was the result of the combined might of Superman and Krypto, or was it due to the Eradicator's energy?

    @zandalf: I thought it was all those souls inside Superman that helped him achieve that feat.
