Anyone have any scans of a sun dipped Superman? If so please post them.
Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18942 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Sun Dipped Superman
Reviving this thread because I have a related question as to when this terminology arose and whether it was ever use, expressly in the comics.
I vaguely recall it seeing a resurgence... was it... slightly before the Chuck Austen era but I'm really grasping here.
Basically it was a significant post-Doomsday Superman power-up era where Supes was reclaiming a lot of his powers and baseline stats to more closely approximate his silver age rendition than the comparatively more grounded Bryne reboot.
" @DarkKnight96000: Whats sun dipped superman? or are you refering to The Prime Superman from DC 1,000,000. "In All Star he get cancer and start dying, but later he became Superman One Million.
However I think not that while ago he passed through at hight speed by the old red star of krypton and survived, but lost his powers for a full year
" @RedK said:I know that but sun dipped implys that he was only in their for a few minutes at max, like he's been badly beaten or taken damage from Kryptonite or magic and he needs a quick power boost to heal, and I've never seen Superman do this so assumed he meant The Prime Superman from DC 1,000,000" @DarkKnight96000: Whats sun dipped superman? or are you refering to The Prime Superman from DC 1,000,000.

" what would happen if superman was under a blue sun "A lot of bad guys would be in big trouble...
sounds too powerful for me......they kinda took out Silver Age Supes for a reason and now they continuing with this?
" @Thor's hammmer said:" what would happen if superman was under a blue sun "He becomes stronger and gains power to give other people super powers. "
do have scans? i would love to see it
Yeah, I remind this from Worlds at War, Sending Bainic 13 to the beginning of time. This is the only time I like Superman, when he was on fire. Superman on Fire, haha.

It was in the bizzaro world book.Where supes goes to bizzaro world to save his dad and gets new powers.And superman vision.
Does anyone know how powerful Superman gets by sundipping? How much time he has to spend and whatnot?

I think the one that punched-out Brainiac in OWAW was sundipped for 2 hours. It goes exponential after that.
@Z3RO180: You numbers are a bit off. SMPOM existed in the 853rd century (not millenium) and was only sundipping after 700th century. Prior to that, he was travelling across the universe. That's the reason he reached the Source Wall and even had contact with the Source.
I think SPOM is the strongest, not only because he is sun dipped. If you think about it he is the same superman from the 20th century and that means that he is the same superman before and after CA supes and SOS supes. If he has to I think he would get the armor back and the sword and become SPOMSOSCA superman. A mouthful but stronger than any force known to comics. He would only resort to such a thing if Louis died and the multi verse was about to collapse( his attack would probably just rip your comic book in half)

in our world at war he actually only dipped for fifteen minutes and it more than tripled his overall power including strength, speed, etc and in DC one million he exiled himself for 1500 years after he circumnavigated the universe so sun dipping for superman does so much more than any of us can imagine
