What would happen if Superman lose an arm or leg?
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!
Superman's Arm/Leg loss
He would no longer have that limb.
Simply put. He would lose that limb.
Even when a alternate timeline Power Girl was shown wounded in one eye, it was clear she had lost all sight on that eye. The eye didn't just regenerate.
Even kryptonians have their limits.
Still hurting because of ScrewAttack spank to all DB fanboys?
Don't worry. It's not like ScrewAttack is the max authority in comics. They even thrown one or two facts in there that were incorrect.
So the failed atempt at a joke missed the goal by a mile.
@heavenlydarkdragon: I'm not joking, half of infinity is infinity
No regen, huh?
Weird, I thought Supes had a healing factor, but if you somehow took his leg off, maybe via teleportation or something, I really doubt it would grow back either.
I saw Gladiator get stabbed with a giant superspear through the hip long ways and keep fighting like nothing happened and healed immediately. I imagine Supes is the same way. No idea what would happen if you took Glads entire leg though. Probably would only have 1 left leg lol.
The "would only have 1 left leg" was really good :)
It's not like he didn't had it from the start or anything hahahaha....
@avatar_of_green: He does, it just not extensive enough to replace entire limbs.
I don't think Kryptonians ever demonstrated a healing factor of the level that they could regrow lost body parts.
@heavenlydarkdragon: What did DB use that was incorrect?
The part about the Superman movie with Nicolas Cage.
I followed the process, and I got to tell you, what I saw. The sketches, the idea behind the movie. It would've been a disaster.
They were gonna try and do a 180 degree turn on Superman. In my opinion it was arriving at a place where it looked a little like Hellraiser. A kryptonian Hellraiser.
Of all the ideas for a Superman movie, it was without a doubt one of the worst I saw. And they wanted to change so many critical details it was almost certainly doomed to failure.
I mean look at MoS and the heat it has taken. And the changes were minimal.
@heavenlydarkdragon: Ahh, I saw the documentary. It was quite interesting. A lot of the ideas they talked about were quite meh.
Exactly.
I know there were other plans and ideas for a Superman movie way before Superman Returns, some were alright, but none were actually good. Not that I remember at least. Yes Returns was what it was, no need to beat a man that's on the ground, so I'll skip it. But the Nicolas Cage Superman, when all info came out. Sketches and stuff like that, and also the documentary, I honestly looked at all that and said "Good! It never saw the light of day."
@heavenlydarkdragon: Same here. The documentary was interesting, but I'm glad the film was never made. Nicholas Cage.. like... seriously?
