If you could have only one of Superman's powers...

Postby George_Kaplan » Wed Dec 14, 2011 12:52 pm

...which one would you pick?

Oh, and for the sake of clarification: Super-strength and invulnerability do not go hand in hand. You have to choose one or the other. So if you choose super-strength you still have the ability to punch a guy's head off his shoulders, but you could still get shot in the face. And if you choose invulnerability you could shrug off bullets, but you have the strength of a normal person.

Cool. That sure would make life more convenient. But remember, you don't have invulnerability. So if you fly too high, you'd probably freeze to death.

without the invulnerability, friction would not only cause your clothes to tatter and fall off, but it would rip apart your skin

and if you hit sonic boom speed, you'd basically explode.
