There are plenty of games where the main character would be theoretically too powerful, such as God of War, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, etc. The thing about these characters is that their powerset can be boiled down to just slashing and punching things really hard, Superman on the other hand can fly at the speed of sound, freeze things instantly, hear things from the other side of the world, laser vision as well as punching things really hard, making it more difficult to incorporate such a diverse powerset in a way that feels faithful to the character and simulatenously balanced

That being said it's far from impossible, I think a good example of a game that does this right are the Dragon Ball games, sure, their powerset can be boiled down to just punching things and shooting energy blasts, but I think it's a good basis

To borrow a phrase from a popular animated film from that other flagship superhero franchise, a "canon event" is basically a significant event that is "baked into" the mythos and occurs across most, if not all, iterations/adaptations of the franchise. For instance, according to the Spider-Verse movies which originated the term, the spider-bite, the death of Gwen Stacy, and a police officer close to Spider-Man dying, are all among the "canon events" of the Spider-Man mythos.

So what are the "canon events" for the Superman franchise?

My picks:

1. Krypton's explosion and Jor-El and Lara sending Kal-El to earth.

2. The Kents finding Kal-El's rocketship and adopting him, naming him Clark.

3. Clark growing up in Smallville and developing powers during his childhood/adolescence.

4. Clark moving to Metropolis and making his debut as Superman.

5. Clark getting a job as a reporter at the Daily Planet (or Daily Star) under Editor-in-Chief Perry White (or George Taylor) and meeting Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.

6. Superman encountering kryptonite at some point in his life/career and also discovering his alien origins.

7. Superman crossing paths with Lex (or Alexei) Luthor.

8. Superman fighting General Zod and/or other Kryptonian villains who arrive on earth.

9. Superman and/or Clark forming some kind of romantic relationship with Lois Lane, which most likely culminates in marriage at some point.

10. Superman dying (or appearing to die) and most likely being resurrected.

11. The arrival of Superman's cousin Kara (or some other young woman with powers) who becomes Supergirl (or Power Girl).

12. If other heroes exist, Superman becoming a friend (or tenuous) ally of Batman's, as well as becoming a member of the Justice League (or Justice Society).

13. Superman and Lois having at least one child at some point, who will most likely inherit his powers.

14. One or both of Clark's adoptive parents dying at some point during his life/career.

15. Superman having some involvement with the Legion of Superheroes from the 30th/31st century.

Not every adaptation or iteration of Superman and his mythos covers all of these. But given enough time and scope, they cover most of these, sometimes (rather, often) with some tweaks.

Title. There are 3 ongoing Superman titles being released. What is the purpose of having 3 of them? There is Action Comics, Superman Unlimited, and Superman. I am reading Superman (Volume 6) and I know what is going on there, there was the SuperCorp storyline, then he goes to an evil future working with Superboy Prime, there's also future Doomsday who becomes the Timekeeper, this is just a general gist of the volume. I know what's happening there. But with the Kingdom of Zod storyline being a cross over between all Super-titles, what are the other two Superman series?

Do you people keep up with all 3 titles? I am not interested in doing that, I have too many heroes I like to spread my attention over but are you Super-fans built different?

All the fights Superman and Giganta had from the Justice League cartoon.

I Just finished Reading Red Son(really liked It) but i wanted to get into main universe Superman.

It's funny how she dislikes Catwoman for being a freak, and then it's later revealed that she and Supes are freaks as well.

From The Spectre (2001)

It doesn’t get any more scientific than these two examples

Here's a literary review I made of the Kryptonite Spectrum! I really liked this book.

"You can’t be Kal-El. He was a sweet chubby baby who laughed when you tickled his feet"

14 episodes for Season 1.

Goal a mix of more underutilized villains making it more accurate to the Superman and DC mythos and boosting it's story and diversity in rogues gallery while still be something MAWS might do

1. Volcana(replaces Livewire) 2. Rampage(Replaces Heatwave and Badger) 3. Bloodsport(replaces Deathstroke 4. Mr.Bones(Replaces Amanda Waller) 5. Sam Lane 6. Sliver Banshee 7. Anguish(replaces Rough House and Mist) 8. Dr. Moyers(replaces Dr.Ivo and becomes the Parasite 1 later) 9. Bruno Mannheim 10. Luminus 11. Whisper A Daire 12. Titaino 13. Ultra Humanite and Professor Hamilton(Replacing the Brain and Monsieur Mullah) 14. Mr Mxy

Cameos: Lex Luthor Rudy Jones(Cameraman) like Secret origin 2003 Leslie willis(Replacing Viki Vale I wouldn't do that in the canon show though) Officer Bowman.

in honor of the halloween season what do you think would supermans favorite horror movie would be or if he would even have any with him being a Boy Scout and all.

personally if he did have one i think Clark would like alot of the goofy 19050s B-horror movie ones i especially think he would love the original 1950s The Blob though he would still respect the 1980s blob remake on its own merit even if he wouldn't like it due to the gore and shit.

Whenever I see scenes of Supes in a fight with someone there are always visual of Superman hitting or being hit with and I-beam or a concrete pillar. Superman is so much more durable than iron that this wouldn't be much different than you or I being hit with a pool noodle. It might sting a bit, but it wouldn't even leave a bruise. Granted, swinging a long I-beam does provide extra leverage, but IMO it's just not rigid enough to hurt Superman.

Likewise, when Superman gets smashed into the ground, that would be like a regular person getting smashed into something with the consistency of chocolate cake. It wouldn't even sting, it'd just be annoying. Superman routinely flies through the ground as a tactic, so smashing him into it would be irrelevant.

I know that these visuals are in place because they look cool, but they do take me out of my suspension of belief.

The hardest thing Superman can hit something with is his own fists.

Just a thought.

Also God, Ivan Reis' heat vision is so cool!

From Superboy #69

How the Pre-Crisis Superman as Superboy learned to fly and realized he didn't need to breathe air.

I also like the inclusion of "Up, Up, Up and Away!"
