Superman Fans..Gotta question..
 
I can't remember which site I saw it on, but I saw that Topeka was recently destroyed?! What's up with that?!

Raven 07-21-2003 10:09 AM

no clue.....but I would also like to add to that..when did lex luther become president?
when I found this out I jumped out of my pants!

Luthor became President back towards the end of 2000. The storyline carried on for a few weeks and culminated in the "Lex 2000" one-shot where Luthor was actually elected. Neat mini-story contained within where Superman starts destroying asteroids in outer space in a fit of rage as the other Justice Leaguers monitor him from the Watchtower. "Yep... he knows."

And if I'm not mistaken, parts of Kansas were destroyed during the "Our Worlds At War" crossover back in 2001 which ran throughout all the Superman titles and included every DC character. I'm a little fuzzy on the exact details, since I JUST started reading comics again at that point, coming in at the tail end of the arc, and I haven't re-read it in a while. But the whole story is collected in two TPB volumes for your convenience.

Hope that helps.

Can Superman out run the Flash?

Raven 07-23-2003 07:41 AM

i dont think so
if I remember right the flash beat superman in a race

Leo656 07-23-2003 08:07 AM

Yes he did, but now they keep changing it, saying that Superman is able to reach just shy of light speed if he really pushes himself. So who knows. it all depends on the writer.

That Matt Guy 07-23-2003 08:09 AM

Well he could make the earth spin backwards...

Leo656 07-23-2003 08:10 AM

:lol: Those movies are not official... he can't rebuild the Great Wall of China with his eyes either....

That Matt Guy 07-23-2003 08:13 AM

And he can't take Lois 40,000 Ft into the stratosphere either.

Brodie 07-23-2003 08:18 AM

Impulse could out run Supes.

The Bossanova 07-23-2003 07:45 PM

The flash could kick the supermans ass so bad it wouldnt even be funny...and he did..and it was kinda amusing

That Matt Guy 07-23-2003 08:26 PM

Could Supes out run Batman?

The Bossanova 07-23-2003 08:29 PM

HA that doesnt even need to be answered

Leo656 07-23-2003 08:59 PM

Well Bossanova, again, the Superman/Flash race took place over ten years ago, and in the issue released today they confirmed that Superman can now reach light speed, so with how the maximum speeds of both Superman and The Flash keep changing every few years, it would all depend on who was writing the book and what their current interpretations of the characters' powers are.

However it's been suggested that Superman can only reach *maximum* speed while flying, so it's possible that he would be considerably slower on foot.

Raven 07-23-2003 09:09 PM

I still think the flash could win a race against supes

I mean they dont call him the flash for nothing

The Bossanova 07-23-2003 10:30 PM

only an idiot writing the book would say that superman is faster...its better that the flash is faster..i mean its his only freakin power he needs to be the best at it

Raven 07-24-2003 07:45 AM

ya I agree with you on that bossanova

There was an issue not to long ago where Flash and Superboy raced. I think the posponed the race so they could save Hawaii. Damn Hawaii, always getting into trouble.
