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!
The crisis happened for a reason....unfortunately....
Even with that power levels enjoyable stories can be said.
One of the most common themes of Pre-crisis Superman was dimension/time travel (due to his powers). And some very good stories were born from that.
Exactly. We just need writers who don't use battles as a crutch for making good stories or, at the very least, are creative enough to make said battles interesting for Superman at his Bronze/Silver age power levels
Various Silver age tales like Under the red sun, The showdown between Superman and Luthor,Clark Kent's Incredible Delusion, Super-Mxyzptlk, Superman: Past and Future. And many more.
Silver/Bronze age Supes has many great stories. Not to enter the Legion,Superboy, Supergirl, Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane titles in the mix.
Send a explosion back in time. I guess at the time writers didn't yet know about the butterfly effect. That even the smallest change in time could cause massive damage to the timeline, maybe changing how all life evolved on Earth.
Noooo... Let's send a explosion back in time. Someone that can send a explosion back in time, can also redirect that same explosion to outerspace. Much easier done, and with less probability to erase all life on the planet.

You cannot actually change past. That explosion happened before Superman sent it back through time.
Dude.. pls.. Try to think about it. If you sent something back in past that means it has already happened before you did it. Thus making you destined to do it anyhow. I know all the theories that can make you move backwards in time... But it seems you didnt even understand what i was saying.

Aparently not. Seeing that if your saying what I think your saying, that doesn't make any sense at all.
And don't try to complicate things with the "Well if you did sent something to the past then you're destined to do it anyway". That's beyond the point. If you were able to sent something back in time or forward, the fact remains that in the now, the present you did sent to another time. And that's all that matters. There's no paradoxes here. It's simple time traveling.
Are you even familiarized with the laws of thermal dynamics, I wonder. Even if an explosion occours before you sent it back in time, what is the main danger of an explosion? The energy released, right!? Well, that energy can be redirected in many ways or even absorbed. Superman did exactly that. He took the energy from the blast and sent back in time.
Sure it's stupid to send an explosion back in time or anywhere in time, because the consequences are unpredictable. And thus doing it would be reckless. Trying to block the blast or redirect it, would've made much more sense.
3 billion years ago would have put the earth no place near that spot. Could be odd however if another planet with life was at that spot 3 billion years ago and that was considered an attack by the people of earth lol.

I disagree you can change the past. One persons past is another persons future. It is all perspective. I think they got it wrong in Back to the Future where he went forward to see his own past.
One cannot go forward and still be in the past and see your own future it simply is not possible. However to change the past hmmm as he went back in the past to stop himself from becoming the Thing ben finds out that he simply made another universe one where he was no longer the thing. He returned to his own universe where nothing had changed. The past protected itself. However he did change a past just not his.
You cannot change the past on the blast because 3 billion years ago earth was not in that location so many things move and the speed of the solor system and the galaxy and you have that space that the blast went off in is not the same place that earth was even in the slightest. Yes it would have made more sense to simply absorb the blast. Why send it anyplace at all.
It's still stupid anyway. Glad those times have passed.
Sending an explosion back in time. Why not forward in time while he was at it. Like 5 billion years into the future where it would have most likely made no difference whatsoever.
