Powers / Abilities
Kryptonian Physiology & Solar Battery Cells (Unique) - Grants Superman many abilities that are unique to his species. Solar battery cells charge Kryptonians giving them an array of powers and weaknesses listed below. Some abilities are universal, but most Kryptonian's lack the inventiveness that Superman has therefore opt not to use abilities such as Arctic Breath, Ventriloquism, or hyper-vibration.
Super Strength - Superman's strength limit is unknown and appears to ramp-upwards as necessary. By his own omission his strength is held back out of fear for the destruction his full power might bring about. Potentially Superman could destroy a planet with an Earth shattering punch. This restriction allows his fellows such as Supergirl, Zod, and Faora to appear stronger than him due to their lack of restrain. When unrestrained Superman can overpower the likes of the previous mentioned, including Doomsday.
Super Speed - Superman's top speed is above the speed of light (outside of planetary atmosphere) and slower than the speed of light within atmosphere. The reason for this is unlike the Flash, Superman's speed affects the world around him in a potentially destructive manner with its sonic boom. While other Kryptonians are familiar with Super speed, none of them have exercised their full potential of this ability and further gives Superman an edge against them. Superman can also vibrate his body at such speed to blur images of his face or allow his molecules to pass through objects.
Super Optics - Grants Superman an array of abilities with his vision alone such as X-Ray vision, Microscopic vision, Heat vision, and Dark vision.
Super Durability - Superman has endured attacks from such characters as Superboy Prime, Despero, Helspont, and Doomsday. Superman has stated that if he doesn't conform to the attacks of others he could potentially injure others and often manipulates his body to move with the hits of his more fragile opponents (thugs and the like.)
Enhanced Healing Factor - When injured either by blunt force trauma, magical attacks, or advanced technology Superman has been able to recover within 10 seconds with a full charge of his solar battery cells. As his cells deplete or shunt towards other abilities his regeneration slows to a range depending on severity 1-2 minutes (vs Darkseid), 24 hours (Superman / Batman: Vengeance), 1 year (Death of Superman)
Enhanced Lungs / Stamina / Endurance - His lungs are capable of expanding and contracting at a greater extent than that of humans. Due to the solar batteries that regenerate Superman's health, he does not need oxygen as his body provides it for him. This makes Superman's lungs commonly useless for survival, but something he can't shrug off completely when his cells are low and oxygen is necessary to survive.
Enhanced Reflexes - With enhanced speed Superman can act beyond speeds of bullet time, however; he chooses not to live in such slow-motion of speed as its boring and uneventful, this is how Superman's opponents are capable of surprise attacks that seem to "catch" Superman off guard. Superman's combat prowess is also no joke, he is an experienced fighter and has gained combat reflexes that make him capable of fighting at Super speeds and successfully sparing with opponents under such conditions.
Biomatrix Field - Displayed commonly when he flies, Superman is capable of extending his ability to wrap around objects he is touching in order to make the object "lighter" in mass and weight. With this ability he could theoretically move a planet as he can reduce its mass significantly (to him) to the point of making it feel like nothing more than a baseball.
Immortality - Stated by the Highfather (God) Superman's life is a contradiction to existence such is the case that even in "death" Superman contradicts the rules. This is to say the only way to "save" Superman from death is by using a mother box empowered by the Staff of the Highfather to pull Superman out of limbo. (Superman / Batman: Torment)
Heightened Learning - His Kryptonian physiology has allowed Clark Kent to pick up and learn new subjects at a progressive rate.
Martial Arts - Clark Kent is trained in various forms of Martial arts and practices routinely with Bruce Wayne
Arctic Breath - Releasing air from his lungs, Superman creates an intense breeze of cold air that causes the temperature of objects in its path to reach freezing levels.
Heat Vision / Laser Blasts - Releasing molecules of intense heat, Superman can enhance this affect and even work in junction with his other vision ability, X-Ray vision. (Batman: Hush) If he intensifies his vision he can fire laser blasts that are visible and non-visible, depending on the intensity and distance the beam has to travel.
Ventriloquism - Superman and Clark Kent have been able to manipulate their vocal muscles to change voices to that of other people such as Lois Lane, Bruce Wayne, Batman, and Darkseid.
Flight - Attained by Tactile Telekinesis, Superman was first capable of leaping extremely far until he was capable of fully understanding that his ability was capable of more than a super leap. Once discovering he was able to float and even move at the speed of light, Superman wonders what is the full extent his flight capabilities can reach.
Iron Will - Uneasily persuaded, Superman has been able to resist the charm of many vixens and has denied the will of many powerful tyrants. Such examples are Brainiac, Maxima, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Darkseid, and Lex Luthor.
Weaknesses
Kryptonite - Kryptonite as a whole can be easily manipulated and has many applications such a power source (Birthright) and its molecular structure can be manipulated or replicated into a weaker version capable of being produced by plants (Batman: Hush.)
(Specific examples)
-Green Kryptonite will affect this Superman, period. Various sizes or doses of the Kryptonite will have different intensity of damage he can inflict; a ring on Lex Luthor's hand will cause Superman to feel sick while also giving him the feeling of his pores being squeezed of their solar energy.
-Red Kryptonite can cause Superman to enter a berserker rage removing rationale and logic from his mind, reverting him into a more primal state of mind of recklessness and aggression.
Solar Radiation - Solar radiation has various affects on Superman, the commonly known differences are the red solar radiation and the yellow solar radiation. Red solar radiation sustains Superman's physiology to that of a Kryptonian on Krypton, it would be equivalent to a human's reaction to a yellow sun, gaining nutrients while also potentially harmful damage with prolonged exposure. Superman would be reduced to nothing more than a typical mortal if exposed to red solar radiation for more than 24 hours. Artificial solar radiation seems to enhance (or drain) Superman much like natural solar radiation, but it will influence him at a slower rate than natural solar radiation would given that it's manufactured rather than natural.
Magic - Magic has long been a weakness to Superman allowing magical blasts to weaken Superman, the most powerful forms of magic against him aren't attack based, however; they are usually in the form of "curses." (Smallville, Superman / Batman: Finest Worlds) This version of Superman can endure attacks from even powerful weapons such as Aquaman's trident or Thor's hammer (Marvel) this weakness makes Superman particularly vulnerable to characters of God status who specialize in manipulation and deception such as Circe, Ares, Zeus, etc.
Kryptonians & Metahumans - Superman has been knocked out or defeated by various species that have been able to strike just as hard as Superman and endure just as much punishment. Mogul and Despero are examples of creatures who can endure just as much punishment and can knock out Superman with a single hit if Superman isn't prepared for the attack. Kryptonian's such as Zod and his followers are trained Kryptonian soldiers and have professional training in martial combat making them deadly in unarmed combat against an untrained Superman. With training from Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince, Superman is now a formidable opponent to the likes of Zod's men.
Nth Metal - Weapons created by Thanagarians are particularly lethal to Superman given their mystical / magical properties and indestructible nature. Sharp or bludgeon weapons made of this metal will affect Superman as though he were struck by a regular weapon.
Apokoliptian Weaponry - Weapons created on Apokolips also have a lethal affect on Superman making them as deadly as regular weapons would be to a human.
Telekinesis / Mind Control / Body Swap - On occasions when it is achieved, mind control is a great weakness to Superman and the consequences of such are severe. Maxwell Lord had his neck snapped by Wonder Woman. Desaad was left by Batman and Superman to be punished by Darkseid, and the scientist who managed swap bodies was left broken and to face trial.

Audition post
(One Short Story. Two auditions: One for Clark Kent and one for Superman.)
"Kent!" was the name that came from Perry White's booming voice that prompted Clark to poke his head out of the cubicle and switch his gaze over to the office where the man was staring directly at him. "On my way sir!" Clark pushed away from his desk to roll back in his chair to stand and straighten his blue dress pants and button up his blue dress coat. He adjusted his red necktie to make sure it kept his form together and presentable. Clark had a large frame and what would seem intimidating to most wasn't as his disguise of oily black hair combed over and flat against his head with thick black framed glasses made him appear more intelligent and nerdy than one would suspect.
Entering Perry's office, Clark's eyebrow's rose in curiosity. "You wanted to see me, Perry?" "Yes, close the door and tell me about the stories you got headlining." Clark followed the command and then sat down across from Perry. "Well, I-um...looked into that story about the-the woman with-um...Angel wings, and she's not actually an angel. She's a bird-person. Calls herself Hawkwoman and it's interesting because there's correlations between her armor and appearance to that of Ancient Egyptian culture." "Ancient Egypt? So she's not an angel, why is she here?" "She's more of a protector." Perry nodded as he bounced in his chair and turned to look out the window. "What else do you got?"
Clark adjusted his glasses and compressed his lips as if nervously holding back his true feelings and thoughts. "Um...Well, I think you'll like the Crop Circle piece...I-uh...was able to talk to some of my old friends and family back in Smallville and...It appears the Crop circles were caused by an alien race attempting to teach humans how to navigate the stars. Professor Sutherland is the lead Astrophysicist working on deciphering the message. The aliens who sent it are long dead, so the message was coming to Earth from a probe in space. They were able to have Superman recover the probe and bring it to S.T.A.R Labs for study." "Great, great work Kent. Post the Hawkwoman story in the bio section and put the Crop circle story on the internet title it 'Solved Crop Circle Mystery' that'll bring in the content clicks." Clark nodded respectfully. "Yes sir. Is there anything else?"
As Clark began making his way back to his desk he would hear people beginning to chatter and rush around the office. "Perry! We got live feed from Lois in the Court Square." Spoke one reporter. Perry walked past Kent and demanded. "Put it live, quick!" The televisions within the broadcasting center would show the court square park where Metallo stood holding Lois Lane by the shoulder. "Metropolis, my demands are simple. I want Superman dead. Superman must turn himself over for execution or I will destroy every person in this city block by block. So come and surrender yourself Superman, or I'll kill all the people in this park and then these new reporters."
(Superman story begins)
Clark's eyes narrowed and his jaw tightened prompting him to slip behind people within the news room and towards the stairwell. With blurred speed he raced up the stairs removing his business suit to leave it in a bag upon the roof of the Daily Planet, he changed outfit into his sleek blue body suit with a red utility belt wrapped around his waist. With a sonic boom he took off into the sky careful not to shatter the glass of the skyscrapers. In what seemed like an eternity for Lois Lane, it was only 30 seconds that Superman would arrive floating in the sky above Metallo. "If it's a fight you wanted, all you had to do is ask." Metallo grinned. "This is no fight, this is an execution." Metallo's chest would open revealing a kryptonite charged optic blast that he would unleash upon Superman.
The Blast hurled Superman backwards in the air spiraling out of control as a sensation of dizziness and lethargy began to overwhelm him. He slowed his spinning and came to focus on Metallo with those bold blue eyes narrowing. Raising his fists above his head he shot up into the sky and looped around behind the villain and barrel him into the ground. In mid charge Superman eased back and grabbed Metallo by the back of his neck to support his trajectory and stop him from crashing into anyone or anything aside from dirt in the park grounds. "If this is your idea of an execution, I'm afraid I don't have all day." Superman's voice was the opposite of Clark Kent's, it was bold and courageous. He held a blend of confidence and bravado that he learned from watching John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies with his adoptive parents.
Metallo's head would rotation in its socket and his hand would latch onto Superman's cape to yank it towards the ground dragging the Man of Steel onto grass with little effort. Superman would grab Metallo's shoulder and attempt to crush it but the metal alloy was impossible to break for some reason and so he gave up and instead threw his fist into Metallo's face ripping off the flesh that was disguising his metal skull and revealing those kryptonite charged eye lasers. "That was unnecessary, Superman." Superman's hand dropped and his shoulders slumped recognizing the fatal mistake he made, his body indicated a sudden regret from his action and then those lasers shot him in the eyes causing him to scream. "Aah!!!"
Superman was now blinded and rolled onto his stomach while clutching his eyes and the burning sensation within them. The man of metal stood up and latched his hand onto Superman's head while transforming his left hand into a battering ram that crashed against Superman's skull. He released Superman after five consecutive blows forcing Superman to stumble and try to fight blind. His ears began to listen and he growled. "Two can play this game!" Superman charged at Metallo tackling the machine man while feeling the radiation from villain's chest. They would fly through the city and crash into a steel factory where Metallo smashed into pipes and Superman into a slab of concrete.
"What are you trying to do? Wait...You must not be able to see? The Kryptonite lasers must've damaged your nervous system! Of course, and you thought melting me down would be your best course for action since there are no buildings to stuff me into. You can't destroy my frame yourself. You have no other option than to try - and fail." Superman crawled upon the ground to get away from the radiation, but Metallo approached closer and grabbed Superman by the hair to drag him to a smelting pool of hot metal and magma. "Here, Superman...have a taste!" With a plunge of his head Superman's head was soaked in the hot metal which felt like thorns and hot water rinsing across the face. With the radiation Superman's natural defenses were weakened and could feel the molecules of his skin rapidly burning and boiling like a human would. Metallo pulled Superman's face out of the magma to see the coat of metal upon it. "Aahh, yes Superman. Feel it ooze over your face...If only you could never feel pain. But pain is real...so is vengeance."
Metallo's hand would shove Superman's head into the magma again and release him to take hold of Superman's legs and hold him in position. Superman's hands would reach into the magma to feel the molten burn that would usually feel hardly any affects of the heat and cup a handful of it. With his remaining strength he twisted his body and hurled a glob of magma at Metallo's chest throwing the villain backwards as the metal began to coat the lens and burn it with the scent of smoke filling the air. The machine of man growled in frustration and then charged at Superman to bury him inside the magma but, with the coating of the magma, Superman got stronger and stronger. "What...is happening?!" Metallo growled as Superman's hand was able to overpower Metallo's grip and shove the machine backwards into the wall. Pulling out of the pool of magma Superman wiped his face of the metal and spoke. "Molten lead...I could smell it's scent and knew it would block the affects of Kryptonite. But that's not the only reason why I brought you here."
Metallo stood up and charged at Superman ready to swing his fist. Superman's hearing detected the clicking of Metallo's feet against the concrete floor, the unique sound of riveting gears in Metallo's body were also picked up. And the lack of people surrounding Superman allowed his sense of 'touch' to pick up the signature of nearby moving objects; the steel mill was hardly populated and gave Superman a precise location of Metallo's position as he charged. Grabbing Metallo by the wrist, Superman swung the villain into a wall before laying a beatdown on him and then grabbing the block of lead in his chest to rip it out and drop it onto the ground. Metallo's body fell limp and Superman began to feel the lead peel off his body as it was unable to stick to his skin's surface due to his enhanced healing.

The Blast hurled Superman backwards in the air spiraling out of control as a sensation of dizziness and lethargy began to overwhelm him. He slowed his spinning and came to focus on Metallo with those bold blue eyes narrowing. Raising his fists above his head he shot up into the sky and looped around behind the villain and barrel him into the ground. In mid charge Superman eased back and grabbed Metallo by the back of his neck to support his trajectory and stop him from crashing into anyone or anything aside from dirt in the park grounds. "If this is your idea of an execution, I'm afraid I don't have all day." Superman's voice was the opposite of Clark Kent's, it was bold and courageous. He held a blend of confidence and bravado that he learned from watching John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies with his adoptive parents.
Metallo's head would rotation in its socket and his hand would latch onto Superman's cape to yank it towards the ground dragging the Man of Steel onto grass with little effort. Superman would grab Metallo's shoulder and attempt to crush it but the metal alloy was impossible to break for some reason and so he gave up and instead threw his fist into Metallo's face ripping off the flesh that was disguising his metal skull and revealing those kryptonite charged eye lasers. "That was unnecessary, Superman." Superman's hand dropped and his shoulders slumped recognizing the fatal mistake he made, his body indicated a sudden regret from his action and then those lasers shot him in the eyes causing him to scream. "Aah!!!"
Superman was now blinded and rolled onto his stomach while clutching his eyes and the burning sensation within them. The man of metal stood up and latched his hand onto Superman's head while transforming his left hand into a battering ram that crashed against Superman's skull. He released Superman after five consecutive blows forcing Superman to stumble and try to fight blind. His ears began to listen and he growled. "Two can play this game!" Superman charged at Metallo tackling the machine man while feeling the radiation from villain's chest. They would fly through the city and crash into a steel factory where Metallo smashed into pipes and Superman into a slab of concrete.
"What are you trying to do? Wait...You must not be able to see? The Kryptonite lasers must've damaged your nervous system! Of course, and you thought melting me down would be your best course for action since there are no buildings to stuff me into. You can't destroy my frame yourself. You have no other option than to try - and fail." Superman crawled upon the ground to get away from the radiation, but Metallo approached closer and grabbed Superman by the hair to drag him to a smelting pool of hot metal and magma. "Here, Superman...have a taste!" With a plunge of his head Superman's head was soaked in the hot metal which felt like thorns and hot water rinsing across the face. With the radiation Superman's natural defenses were weakened and could feel the molecules of his skin rapidly burning and boiling like a human would. Metallo pulled Superman's face out of the magma to see the coat of metal upon it. "Aahh, yes Superman. Feel it ooze over your face...If only you could never feel pain. But pain is real...so is vengeance."
Metallo's hand would shove Superman's head into the magma again and release him to take hold of Superman's legs and hold him in position. Superman's hands would reach into the magma to feel the molten burn that would usually feel hardly any affects of the heat and cup a handful of it. With his remaining strength he twisted his body and hurled a glob of magma at Metallo's chest throwing the villain backwards as the metal began to coat the lens and burn it with the scent of smoke filling the air. The machine of man growled in frustration and then charged at Superman to bury him inside the magma but, with the coating of the magma, Superman got stronger and stronger. "What...is happening?!" Metallo growled as Superman's hand was able to overpower Metallo's grip and shove the machine backwards into the wall. Pulling out of the pool of magma Superman wiped his face of the metal and spoke. "Molten lead...I could smell it's scent and knew it would block the affects of Kryptonite. But that's not the only reason why I brought you here."
Metallo stood up and charged at Superman ready to swing his fist. Superman's hearing detected the clicking of Metallo's feet against the concrete floor, the unique sound of riveting gears in Metallo's body were also picked up. And the lack of people surrounding Superman allowed his sense of 'touch' to pick up the signature of nearby moving objects; the steel mill was hardly populated and gave Superman a precise location of Metallo's position as he charged. Grabbing Metallo by the wrist, Superman swung the villain into a wall before laying a beatdown on him and then grabbing the block of lead in his chest to rip it out and drop it onto the ground. Metallo's body fell limp and Superman began to feel the lead peel off his body as it was unable to stick to his skin's surface due to his enhanced healing.
