Golden Age Superman
As presented in the original 1930's comic strip, Superman's powers were indigenous to those of all Kryptonians. In the origin stories of the comic books and comic strip, Kryptonians were shown using the same powers that Superman would have on Earth. Later, Krypton's larger size and gravity was given as an explanation for the character's powers.
When introduced in the late 1930s, Superman had the following powers and limitations:
* Super Strength: The character was depicted as having the ability to move large vehicles, including cars, trains, and ships.
* Leaping Ability: As originally conceived, Superman could leap an eighth of a mile or over that of a tall building
* Super Speed: Superman could run faster than a speeding bullet
* Invulnerability: Superman's skin could not be pierced by anything short of a large artillery shell.
Silver Age (Pre-Crisis) Superman
Superman's powers were enhanced and added to from the 1940s until the mid-eighties. His powers were explained as a result of two factors: the comparatively weaker gravity of Earth, and the intensity of Earth's yellow sun. As such, Superman's powers were negated if he entered an environment similar to that of Krypton, such as the bottle city of Kandor, or if he was exposed to the solar energy of a red sun. In Silver Age stories, the powers and limitations of Superman were instantly possessed by any Kryptonians exposed to Earth or Earth-like conditions. Individuals from the planet Daxam, such as Mon-El, possessed identical powers, but were invulnerable to Kryptonite and highly susceptible to lead poisoning.
1.Super Strength: Superman's strength was increased to the point where he could move entire planets.
2.Super self-propelled Flight: The character gained the power of true flight.
3.Super Run-Speed and Swim-speed: Superman's speed increased to the point where he could travel faster than light. Several stories depict him traversing great distances through space. He could also use this power to travel through time, as shown in his boyhood visits to the 30th century as a member of the Legion of Superheroes. Superman can also swim at speeds approaching Aquaman's speed as well as run at speeds similar to that of the Flash.
4.Invulnerability: By the 1970s, Superman was able to withstand an atomic explosion and even fly through the core of a star. He was also immune to non-kryptonian diseases and all radiation except for that of a red sun or kryptonite.
5.Super Heat Vision
6.X-Ray vision
7.Super Telescopic vision
8.Super Microscopic vision
9.High range[Infrared and Ultraviolet] vision
In addition to X-ray vision and heat vision, Superman was also given telescopic and microscopic vision. The character could see across interstellar distances and observe events that occurred on a microscopic and even atomic level. He could also see across the full electromagnetic spectrum, including infra-red and ultraviolet light.
10.Super-Hearing:
Superman could hear sound at almost any wavelength and at great distances.
11.Super Breath:
Superman's breath was capable of freezing objects and generating hurricane-force winds. He could also hold his breath indefinitely, allowing him to travel underwater or in space without breathing apparatus.
12.Super Leap
13.Super-intelligence and focus
14.Eidetic memory
Superman possessed genius-level intelligence and an eidetic memory. These enhanced mental capabilities were a direct result of his exposure to a yellow sun, as evidenced by the depiction of Superman's dog, Krypto. While under a yellow sun, Krypto's intelligence was boosted to that of a typical human. Superman also possessed the mental ability to screen out the enormous amount of information received by his enhanced senses, and to focus on a single detail, such as a particular voice or location. As well, his speed reading abilities were much like that of the Flash. He was able to absorb large amounts of information quickly, whether it entered his short term or long term memory is hazy
15.Super Ventriloquism: Superman could throw his voice across great distances. This power was used to confuse enemies or protect his secret identity by tricking others into believing that he (or Clark Kent) was in a different location.
16.Super Hypnotism: This power enabled Superman to hypnotize anyone. He could make people forget incidents or obey his commands. This power was often used to safeguard his identity.
17.Super Stamina: Superman could survive indefinitely without food, water, or rest due to the yellow sun's radiation sustaining him.
18.Spontaneous accelerated regeneration: Superman could regenerate physical damage to his body at an accelerated rate. He was able to regenerate when Wonder Woman slit his throat with her tiara in Wonder Woman #219. In the series Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Superman regenerates his body after being reduced to near a skeleton by a special nuke that was designed to blot out sun light and disrupt energy. Superman's healing rate has been inconsistently portrayed, however. In the first issue of the "Superman/Batman" comic, Alfred is able to remove a kryptonite bullet from Superman's body without fear of the wound closing.(probably because the kryptonite was affecting his ability to heal)
19.Enhanced smell and touch senses
Writers of Superman would occasionally experiment with new powers for the character. In general, the abilities that proved popular and useful became part of his regular repertoire, while others would be discarded after a single use. In addition to his other super senses, Superman was occasionally shown as having highly-enhanced senses of touch and smell.
20.Advanced Telekinesis
Post-Crisis
When the Superman character was revised by John Byrne shortly after Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was decided to place restrictions on his abilities. This was designed to make it easier for writers to come up with suitable challenges for the hero, and to eliminate or reduce those powers that had become too sensational or unbelievable for modern audiences. Emphasis was placed on yellow sun energy as a source for the character's powers. Superman's origin story was altered so that his powers developed gradually as his body absorbed yellow sunlight, and stories such as the Final Night series depicted the character gradually losing his powers when deprived of the sun's energy. When Superman's reserves of solar energy were depleted, as in Infinite Crisis or the Death of Superman story arcs, he required an extended period of time under a yellow sun, or some type of artificial solar enhancement in order to regain his abilities.
Power Reduction Superman's strength was reduced to the point where he could still move tremendous amounts, but the character no longer had the ability to move planets. His speed was also reduced so that he could not exceed the speed of light. While still capable of surviving a nuclear explosion, such events would severely weaken him. Superman's sight, stamina and breath powers were also similarly reduced, and the character was also shown as requiring an oxygen mask for prolonged travel in space or underwater. His mental abilities were also curtailed to the point where intelligent humans, like Lex Luthor or Batman, could possibly outsmart him. The powers of super-ventriloquism and super-hypnosis were not generally used during this period, although it was never stated whether they had been eliminated or not.
Tactile Telekinesis An attempt was made to explain Superman's ability to fly with large objects through the introduction of tactile telekinesis. Objects that Superman touched were enveloped by an invisible telekinetic field that allowed him to move them with the force of his will. The ability also explained Superman's ability to fly. This power was the only ability originally duplicated in the Superboy clone, allowing him to emulate Superman's strength, speed, and flight capabilities, but none of his sensory powers. Over time, Superboy, or Kon-El as he came to be known, would eventually develop the same set of powers as the original.
Modern Era
After Byrne's departure from the series, Superman's powers and abilities were once again increased over time. He regained the ability to travel interstellar distances and to hold his breath for the amount of time required to make such journeys. His strength, speed, and sensory abilities were again increased, although not to pre-crisis levels.
The comparative weakness of the Superman character to his pre-crisis incarnation was definitively shown during Infinite Crisis. The Superboy-Prime character, endowed with nearly the same power levels as the Silver Age Superman, was capable of defeating large numbers of DC universe heroes, including the Teen Titans and the entire Green Lantern Corps. The Modern Era Superman and his Earth 2 counterpart were only able to defeat Superboy-Prime after plunging him through Krypton's red sun, thereby reducing his powers.
Comparative strength
While it has not been explicitly stated in the comics, Superman is assumed by many to be the most powerful superhero in the DC universe, although this assertion is debatable.[citation needed] His powers tend to fluctuate depending on the amount of solar energy his cells have absorbed and the writer of the particular story. He has received a temporary boost in power after surviving a plunge into the Sun, and has had his powers depleted when deprived of such energy. The limits of how much energy Superman can absorb, and by extension the maximum limits of his power, has never been stated. Additionally, because of the solar energy that empowers him, he has often been depicted as being potentially immortal, as well as having a different ageing process, as seen in the Grant Morrison written series set in the far future of the DC Universe, DC One Million.[1] The canonicity of this series is unknown.
Characters such as Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter have been described variously over time as equals, near-equals, or, in the last case, even greatly superior.[2] Captain Marvel has been able to knock him out with 1-2 punches by taking him by surprise,[3] and Superman has stated outright that the latter has the advantage in a fist-fight due to his magic-derived powers.[4] When the Modern Era Supergirl was introduced, it was suspected that she was more powerful than her cousin, but this was due to the fact that Superman had learned to restrain his strength through years of living with weaker individuals, an ability that Kara Zor-El had not yet learned.
It is important to note that while Superman may physically be among the strongest heroes, there are many who match his abilities, most notably Darkseid, Bizarro, Lobo, the Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, General Zod and Black Adam, while Doomsday[5][6] and Despero[7] have occasionally been shown as far stronger. Certain heroes and villains with magical capabilities, like the Spectre, Zatanna, and Doctor Fate, have displayed cosmic level power vastly beyond his own capabilities . The Flash possesses the ability to travel at the speed of light, shunting his mass towards infinity, and enabling him to perform such feats as defeating a white martian with one punch,[8] or almost overcoming the Anti-Monitor singlehandedly.[9] Hal Jordan, with the will-fueled power of the Green Lantern ring, has also been cited as being a match for Superman, being able to lay him down with one punch while possessed by Parallax.[10] The Guardians of the Universe allegedly possess abilities dwarfing those of regular Green Lantern Corps members. Kyle Rayner, in his role of "Ion", was recently touted as the most powerful of Earth's superheroes[issue # needed].
One villain that is often portrayed as vastly superior to Superman in every way is the five-dimensional entity Mr. Mxyzptlk. While the limits (if there are any) and nature of Mr.Mxyzptlk's powers is unclear, he is often portrayed as being, for all practical purposes, omnipotent, and his encounters with Superman often amount to him simply toying with the man of steel.
Alternate versions and timelines
Over the years, many alternate versions of Superman have appeared, in Elseworlds books or other timelines. Many of these were limited series' and one shots, so the extent of Supermans abilities is not always explored in great detail.
The Dark Knight continuity
Frank Millers Dark Knight continuity, which includes The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and All Star Batman and Robin, has depicted Supermans powers in a variety of ways. All Star Batman and Robin, for instance, depicts a younger Superman traveling from the U.S. to Paris by means of running fast enough to cross the ocean surface, possibly implying that he has not yet developed the power of flight. the Dark Knight Returns Depicts him as having the usual super speed, heat vision, flight, and strength, but it also depicts him as being vulnerable to several things. Kryptonite still harms him, and he is nearly killed at one point by a massive nuclear detonation. Whether this was the result of the blast itself, radiation, or the bomb blocking out the sun, or a combination of those factors, is not made clear. He is also shown to be susceptible to a sound wave device, which causes him temporary pain. In some lines, Batman hints that these weaknesses may be related to him being older, although this is never substantiated.
Superman: Red son
The Elseworlds book Superman:Red Son features a massively powerful Superman, akin to his Silver Age version. Flight, super speed, super intelligence, and massive strength, are all depicted, although other powers associated with the silver Age, such as time travel, are not depicted, and no real limitations are placed on his powers themselves. He is unable to see through lead in this version, and his powers are affected by red sunlight radiation. He is never stated to be immmortal, but it is revealed that he lives for an extremely long period of time. Kryptonite is never mentioned in the story.
Kingdom Come
Supermans powers and weaknesses in Kingdom come are similar to many of his other incarnations. strength, flight, and heat vision are all depicted. He does not seem to any more or less intelligent than an average human in this continuity. His vision is portrayed as being able to easily scan a continent for signs of trouble in a matter of moments, from orbit. During the story, he is caught in a large nuclear blast, and while it does not state that he was unharmed, it does not seem to have affected him at all. He is not exposed to Krpytonite at any point in the story, but Lex Luthor says that it "does not pack the punch it used to", and that Superman is at "the height of his invulnerability." His speed seems somewhat limited, as he is shown speeding across the U.S., form Gotham to somewhere in the heartland, but it is depicted as taking him a few moments to arrive there, placing some potential limit on his speed. It is also worth nothing that Captain Marvel is regarded as equal to or more powerful than Superman, and a potential match for him in battle. Superman is shown as being susceptible to harm via Captain Marvels magic lightning bolt. Another sequence in the story portrays Superman as accidentally cutting his finger on Wonder Woman's sword, to which she responds; "you always were a bit susceptible to magic."
All Star Superman
Grant Morrisons depiction of Superman in the All Star Superman title portray his abilities as similar to that of Silver Age Superman.
Film and Television
Adventures of Superman
On the TV series The Adventures of Superman, Superman also demonstrated some one-time-only powers; in the first season episode "Rescue", he develops the ability to split himself into two (slightly weaker) Supermen. In the sixth season's "The Mysterious Cube", Superman learns how to walk through solid matter. The source of Superman's powers was stated to be his dense molecular structure, a trait that was occasionally mentioned in the comics.
Superman Movie Series
The Superman depicted in films of the 1970s and 80's was based on the Silver Age incarnation and possessed nearly the same capabilities. He is shown performing such feats as stabilizing an earthquake fault line and (infamously) rewriting history by altering the rotation of the Earth. In Superman II, Superman and his Kryptonian counterparts are shown using telekinesis in the form of a blue ray emanating from their fingers. Superman also uses a cellophane-like substance from his S-insignia to trap a villain, although whether this was a power or a device was not made clear. All four Kryptonians in the film also displayed line-of-sight teleportation abilities, and Superman was able to materialize illusory duplicates of himself as well; however, these are potentially the result of moving at invisible super-speed, and leaving controlled after-images (a la the Flash). Superman also has a minor form of telepathy, which he uses to erase Lois' recent memories with a kiss. In Superman IV, he demonstrates a degree of telekinesis as he rebuilds the Great Wall of China by staring at it. Some movie critics dubbed this "Masonry Vision".
Smallville
In the television series Smallville, most of Clark Kent's powers develop over his teenage years. In the first episode of the series, he is aware of his super-strength and superhuman speed, and first experiences his invulnerability when Lex Luthor hits him with a Porsche at 60 miles an hour. Clark's invulnerability undergoes a steady progression over the course of the series: his body is bruised (but not pierced) by bullets and does not immediately heal in early episodes, but by the fifth season episode 'Hidden' Clark is capable of falling from the Earth's atmosphere without sustaining any physical damage. Clark's super-strength also increased over the course of the series to the point where in the sixth season episode 'Combat', Clark exhibited the ability to set off powerful shockwaves with his punches in which he successfully dispatched an extremely powerful intergalactic foe.
Clark developed x-ray vision in the first season episode X-Ray, heat vision in the second season episode Heat and super hearing in the third season episode Whisper. Flight is developed very gradually over time. The first mention is in the first season episode Metamorphosis, where Clark first "defies gravity"; however, this is not really controlled. He is shown to be hovering over his bed while sleeping but falls and destroys his bed once he wakes up. The first real controlled flight is in the second season episode Vortex, although this is with the help of a tornado. In the third season finale Covenant, his "floating" in the air is assisted by Kara,a dead human who has been empowered and brainwashed by Jor-El. In the fourth season episode Crusade, he flies properly, but only in his Kal-El persona. The limitation on this power is due to the "No Tights, No Flights" rule made by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to make Smallville more believable. As long as the character had no Superboy costume, he would not be allowed to fly. While in his Kal-El persona, he also exhibits telekinesis. (Although it could be argued that the Kryptonian element flew itself into his hand since the key to the ship has also been seen moving on its own. It could also be argued that this power is only applicable to specific Kryptonian objects, as it was repeatedly stated and demonstrated that the elements bore some link to Clark. There has not been any actual reference to a telekinetic ability. That is solely based on interpretation.)(This occurs for the first time in Crusade also.) He discovers super breath in the sixth season episode Sneeze. Clark's breath can create powerful winds, but as of yet, has not shown any freezing abilities.
Clark also exhibits a healing factor seen rarely in the comics. Any wound he suffers appears to heal within seconds. If he suffers injuries during a period of power loss, any wounds will heal up as soon as his powers return. This power doesn't appear to have limits; for example, in the sixth season episode "Wither," an alien plant impales him through the chest for an extended period of time, yet upon the plant's removal, he appeared recovered within seconds. Clark is also noted to have an exceptional sense of balance for he has never tripped without the use of Kryptonite or some form of mind control (stated in "Jynx"). His immune system also provides a defense against virtually all forms of Earth disease, which is broken very rarely (temporarilly by an artificially created and fatal-to-humans virus in "Scare", and once again in "Sneeze", presumably due to Clark's loss of his powers during his time in the Phantom Zone).
In addition to these, Smallville also features a number of abilities not seen in other incarnations, not all of which find their source in Clark's Kryptonian origin, but rather some appear particular to Kal-El himself. The third season episode "Hereafter", explores Clark's immortality and his ability to alter the destiny of others. Later in season three, in the episode "Resurrection", it is said Clark's blood has the power to revive the dead. In addition, his spirit itself is accredited with special healing properties in season four's "Transference". He even affects the moral inclinations of others for an extended period of time. Clark has also shown to have limited defenses against psionic powers. One episode had a character unsuccessfully try to read Clark's mind. However, Clark's mind also seems to have differing vulnerabilities than a humans, as in the fourth season episode "Blank," another character inadvertently wiped out Clark's entire memory, while he was trying to merely erase the last few moments (and his powers were never seen to have any impact greater than that on humans).
DC Animated Universe
In the animated series Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League and its sequel, Justice League Unlimited, Superman is depicted with power levels similar to those he possessed immediately following his 1986 reboot in the comics. Superman possesses the powers of flight, superhuman strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, super-speed, enhanced hearing, and nigh-invulnerability. While Superman is immensely strong both in terms of muscle power and ability to take physical punishment, he is not all-powerful. He can be injured, bleed, and conceivably be killed, and sometimes he has been known to strain and sweat when performing superhuman feats of strength, as demonstrated in "Apokolips Now!" when he is ambushed by Darkseid while catching his breath after using his own body to drill several holes in the ground to vent the magma from a volcano.
Superman derives his power from the yellow sun of Earth. Forced under a red sun akin to the red sun of his homeworld, Krypton, or exposed to red sun radiation, Superman rapidly loses his powers, reverting to the stature of a normal human.[11]
Aside from red sun radiation, Superman's main weakness is Kryptonite, radioactive shards of his former home planet. Exposure to Kryptonite will rob Superman of his power, and with prolonged exposure, will kill him.[12]
Superman's only other known weakness is magic, which can injure him as easily as it can any other being.

While the limits (if there are any) and nature of Mr.Mxyzptlk's powers is unclear, he is often portrayed as being, for all practical purposes, omnipotent, and his encounters with Superman often amount to him simply toying with the man of steel.
Alternate versions and timelines
Over the years, many alternate versions of Superman have appeared, in Elseworlds books or other timelines. Many of these were limited series' and one shots, so the extent of Supermans abilities is not always explored in great detail.
The Dark Knight continuity
Frank Millers Dark Knight continuity, which includes The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and All Star Batman and Robin, has depicted Supermans powers in a variety of ways. All Star Batman and Robin, for instance, depicts a younger Superman traveling from the U.S. to Paris by means of running fast enough to cross the ocean surface, possibly implying that he has not yet developed the power of flight. the Dark Knight Returns Depicts him as having the usual super speed, heat vision, flight, and strength, but it also depicts him as being vulnerable to several things. Kryptonite still harms him, and he is nearly killed at one point by a massive nuclear detonation. Whether this was the result of the blast itself, radiation, or the bomb blocking out the sun, or a combination of those factors, is not made clear. He is also shown to be susceptible to a sound wave device, which causes him temporary pain. In some lines, Batman hints that these weaknesses may be related to him being older, although this is never substantiated.
Superman: Red son
The Elseworlds book Superman:Red Son features a massively powerful Superman, akin to his Silver Age version. Flight, super speed, super intelligence, and massive strength, are all depicted, although other powers associated with the silver Age, such as time travel, are not depicted, and no real limitations are placed on his powers themselves. He is unable to see through lead in this version, and his powers are affected by red sunlight radiation. He is never stated to be immmortal, but it is revealed that he lives for an extremely long period of time. Kryptonite is never mentioned in the story.
Kingdom Come
Supermans powers and weaknesses in Kingdom come are similar to many of his other incarnations. strength, flight, and heat vision are all depicted. He does not seem to any more or less intelligent than an average human in this continuity. His vision is portrayed as being able to easily scan a continent for signs of trouble in a matter of moments, from orbit. During the story, he is caught in a large nuclear blast, and while it does not state that he was unharmed, it does not seem to have affected him at all. He is not exposed to Krpytonite at any point in the story, but Lex Luthor says that it "does not pack the punch it used to", and that Superman is at "the height of his invulnerability." His speed seems somewhat limited, as he is shown speeding across the U.S., form Gotham to somewhere in the heartland, but it is depicted as taking him a few moments to arrive there, placing some potential limit on his speed. It is also worth nothing that Captain Marvel is regarded as equal to or more powerful than Superman, and a potential match for him in battle. Superman is shown as being susceptible to harm via Captain Marvels magic lightning bolt. Another sequence in the story portrays Superman as accidentally cutting his finger on Wonder Woman's sword, to which she responds; "you always were a bit susceptible to magic."
All Star Superman
Grant Morrisons depiction of Superman in the All Star Superman title portray his abilities as similar to that of Silver Age Superman.
Film and Television
Adventures of Superman
On the TV series The Adventures of Superman, Superman also demonstrated some one-time-only powers; in the first season episode "Rescue", he develops the ability to split himself into two (slightly weaker) Supermen. In the sixth season's "The Mysterious Cube", Superman learns how to walk through solid matter. The source of Superman's powers was stated to be his dense molecular structure, a trait that was occasionally mentioned in the comics.
Superman Movie Series
The Superman depicted in films of the 1970s and 80's was based on the Silver Age incarnation and possessed nearly the same capabilities. He is shown performing such feats as stabilizing an earthquake fault line and (infamously) rewriting history by altering the rotation of the Earth. In Superman II, Superman and his Kryptonian counterparts are shown using telekinesis in the form of a blue ray emanating from their fingers. Superman also uses a cellophane-like substance from his S-insignia to trap a villain, although whether this was a power or a device was not made clear. All four Kryptonians in the film also displayed line-of-sight teleportation abilities, and Superman was able to materialize illusory duplicates of himself as well; however, these are potentially the result of moving at invisible super-speed, and leaving controlled after-images (a la the Flash). Superman also has a minor form of telepathy, which he uses to erase Lois' recent memories with a kiss. In Superman IV, he demonstrates a degree of telekinesis as he rebuilds the Great Wall of China by staring at it. Some movie critics dubbed this "Masonry Vision".
Smallville
In the television series Smallville, most of Clark Kent's powers develop over his teenage years. In the first episode of the series, he is aware of his super-strength and superhuman speed, and first experiences his invulnerability when Lex Luthor hits him with a Porsche at 60 miles an hour. Clark's invulnerability undergoes a steady progression over the course of the series: his body is bruised (but not pierced) by bullets and does not immediately heal in early episodes, but by the fifth season episode 'Hidden' Clark is capable of falling from the Earth's atmosphere without sustaining any physical damage. Clark's super-strength also increased over the course of the series to the point where in the sixth season episode 'Combat', Clark exhibited the ability to set off powerful shockwaves with his punches in which he successfully dispatched an extremely powerful intergalactic foe.
Clark developed x-ray vision in the first season episode X-Ray, heat vision in the second season episode Heat and super hearing in the third season episode Whisper. Flight is developed very gradually over time. The first mention is in the first season episode Metamorphosis, where Clark first "defies gravity"; however, this is not really controlled. He is shown to be hovering over his bed while sleeping but falls and destroys his bed once he wakes up. The first real controlled flight is in the second season episode Vortex, although this is with the help of a tornado. In the third season finale Covenant, his "floating" in the air is assisted by Kara,a dead human who has been empowered and brainwashed by Jor-El. In the fourth season episode Crusade, he flies properly, but only in his Kal-El persona. The limitation on this power is due to the "No Tights, No Flights" rule made by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to make Smallville more believable. As long as the character had no Superboy costume, he would not be allowed to fly. While in his Kal-El persona, he also exhibits telekinesis. (Although it could be argued that the Kryptonian element flew itself into his hand since the key to the ship has also been seen moving on its own. It could also be argued that this power is only applicable to specific Kryptonian objects, as it was repeatedly stated and demonstrated that the elements bore some link to Clark. There has not been any actual reference to a telekinetic ability. That is solely based on interpretation.)(This occurs for the first time in Crusade also.) He discovers super breath in the sixth season episode Sneeze. Clark's breath can create powerful winds, but as of yet, has not shown any freezing abilities.
Clark also exhibits a healing factor seen rarely in the comics. Any wound he suffers appears to heal within seconds. If he suffers injuries during a period of power loss, any wounds will heal up as soon as his powers return. This power doesn't appear to have limits; for example, in the sixth season episode "Wither," an alien plant impales him through the chest for an extended period of time, yet upon the plant's removal, he appeared recovered within seconds. Clark is also noted to have an exceptional sense of balance for he has never tripped without the use of Kryptonite or some form of mind control (stated in "Jynx"). His immune system also provides a defense against virtually all forms of Earth disease, which is broken very rarely (temporarilly by an artificially created and fatal-to-humans virus in "Scare", and once again in "Sneeze", presumably due to Clark's loss of his powers during his time in the Phantom Zone).
In addition to these, Smallville also features a number of abilities not seen in other incarnations, not all of which find their source in Clark's Kryptonian origin, but rather some appear particular to Kal-El himself. The third season episode "Hereafter", explores Clark's immortality and his ability to alter the destiny of others. Later in season three, in the episode "Resurrection", it is said Clark's blood has the power to revive the dead. In addition, his spirit itself is accredited with special healing properties in season four's "Transference". He even affects the moral inclinations of others for an extended period of time. Clark has also shown to have limited defenses against psionic powers. One episode had a character unsuccessfully try to read Clark's mind. However, Clark's mind also seems to have differing vulnerabilities than a humans, as in the fourth season episode "Blank," another character inadvertently wiped out Clark's entire memory, while he was trying to merely erase the last few moments (and his powers were never seen to have any impact greater than that on humans).
DC Animated Universe
In the animated series Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League and its sequel, Justice League Unlimited, Superman is depicted with power levels similar to those he possessed immediately following his 1986 reboot in the comics. Superman possesses the powers of flight, superhuman strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, super-speed, enhanced hearing, and nigh-invulnerability. While Superman is immensely strong both in terms of muscle power and ability to take physical punishment, he is not all-powerful. He can be injured, bleed, and conceivably be killed, and sometimes he has been known to strain and sweat when performing superhuman feats of strength, as demonstrated in "Apokolips Now!" when he is ambushed by Darkseid while catching his breath after using his own body to drill several holes in the ground to vent the magma from a volcano.
Superman derives his power from the yellow sun of Earth. Forced under a red sun akin to the red sun of his homeworld, Krypton, or exposed to red sun radiation, Superman rapidly loses his powers, reverting to the stature of a normal human.[11]
Aside from red sun radiation, Superman's main weakness is Kryptonite, radioactive shards of his former home planet. Exposure to Kryptonite will rob Superman of his power, and with prolonged exposure, will kill him.[12]
Superman's only other known weakness is magic, which can injure him as easily as it can any other being.

Spiderman 2 Work in progress [WIP-1]
For those of you who r interested in my WIP's, im posting WIP of one of my next detailed works.. spiderman 2..
putting these pics here can help u in making some strokes by observing some progress pics if u observe carefully..
for starters, iv not used any grid lines, but im making rough boundaries while i shade, keeping in mind the extent of the body and the pose.
iv started working with the hand, and the entire pic will have a hexagonal graphite covering all over it, so itll take some time to create that "shine" and the hexagonal web....

RESURRECTION
INT.ISAAC'S LOFT, NY[present]
Peter sees fresh paint on Isaac's palette and suddenly feels like painting. He begins painting two men standing, facing each other..
After a while, he's finished and sees that he has painted himself standing against himself.. Peter is stunned and confused.. He says.. "This can't be..."
He hears a sound "I am afraid it is"..
Peter turns around.. He drops his palette.. Outside, dark clouds appear, there is a loud thunder and suddenly it starts raining...
Future Peter smiles at the present Peter, while the present Peter is confused and speechless. Future Peter dosent have a scar on his face.
Peter.. "How is this happening?"
Future Peter.. "I am from the future.. I've teleported here after Hiro died. I was not able to stop Michael.. That's why I came here to the past.."
Peter.. "Stop who?"
Future Peter.. "Michael. I dont know where he's from, but he will soon possess Sylar's body and will have Sylar's powers.. You have to stop him... "
Peter.. "You mean, this Michael can really possess someone else's body? Like a ghost?"
Future Peter.. "Yes, like a ghost"
Peter.. "How do I stop him..?"
Future Peter.. "You know Claude, dont you? He is our link to Michael.. He's connected somehow.. You must find Claude... And there is some bad news... As soon as Michael possesses Sylar, he will come after you... I had barely escaped his attack and so you must be ready for him and be prepared to kill him when he tries to attack you.."
Peter.. "And how do I stop him?"
Future Peter.. "You must learn to use your powers.. You've learnt to absorb powers from others but you dont know how to use them all. I will help you in learning them.. You must be ready for him.. And you must be cautious.. he has a powerful ally.."
INT. SYLAR'S MOTHER'S HOUSE
James and the Haitian arrive at the house Sylar visited his mother.
The Haitian has to break the door lock to access the house..
In the living room is a picture of Sylar, his mother, father and of a very young James.
James is Sylar's younger brother, but seems more than 25 yrs older than Sylar.. something that his ability had done to him.
James.. "I miss Gabriel so much.."
James sees blood trails all over the floor in the kitchen.. And is shocked to see a painting in blood of NY city blowing up.
The Haitian follows the blood trails till he reaches a closet. He opens the closet and James' mother's body drops down.
James cries and falls on his knees on the ground. He screams..
James... "No!!!!"....
Everything in the kitchen starts shaking wildly... Everything flies around James.. The Haitian tries to stop it.. But is unable to do anything but curb it to a certain level..
The power grows exponentially.. The Haitian concentrates.... Everything is up in the air including the Haitian... Haitian's muscles are highly strained and look as if about to burst any minute.. The viens near his eyes begin to bulge out.. Everything shakes violently in the air... and all of a sudden... James feels something excruciating...
James.... "Oh. no"
Everything around him disintegrates into thin air, including the Haitian.. The house falls apart and James manages his way out.. He sees that everything is destroyed. He walks away in pain.
INT. SOME SORT OF MEDICAL CHAMBER, NEVADA
Sylar's heart starts beating faster.. He wakes up.. He finds that he is still restrained to his bed but feels his powers coming back... The effect of the drug has reduced.. Sylar wakes up and breaks open his chains using his telekinesis. He is very angry and is just about to kill Michael.
Hiro[Michael] enters the room to find Sylar standing right in front of him..
Sylar uses his telekinesis to push Hiro/michael straight to the wall and starts ripping his head...
Hiro dosent scream at all.. Michael seems to be insensitive to any pain. In fact, Michael tries to concentrate on Sylar so that he can occupy his body...
Suddenly, Hiro[michael] falls to the ground.. Sylar feels his power weakening to zero.. There's a girl behind Sylar.. She says.. "Calm down." She's pointing her hand towards Sylar..
Michelle is Michael's high school girlfriend and has a unique ability..
Hiro... "Thanks Michelle"
Michelle... "No problem"
Hiro.. "Now's the time.."
Michelle... "Yes"
Michelle immediately points her hands towards Hiro/Michael and within a split second Michael occupies Sylar's body, leaving Hiro collapsing to the ground.
Sylar feels everything going to pitch black.. He's in a state of coma.. He cant even feel his hands and legs.. Michael has taken over his body completely..
Suddenly, Michael feels disturbed.. Sylar's mind gives him lots of memories, most of which are disturbing.. Michael sees the face of every person Sylar has killed.. Michael feels his memory capacity increasing.. He can now remember everything clearly.. including his own memories and memories of the people he had possessed earlier..
Michelle.. "Are you alright?"
Michael/sylar .... "Never better.."
Michael rises in the air using telekinesis.. He feels like god..
Michael/sylar.. "Nothing can stop me now!"
INT.ISAAC'S LOFT, NY[present]
Future Peter and Peter walk up to the terrace of the apartment.
Future Peter.. "So, you're ready?"
Peter.. "Sure..."
Peter is just about to witness Future Peter's prowess.
Future Peter [denoting as Peter#] picks up Peter and flies up, propelling both of them high up in the air... Peter is a bit scared by Peter#'s speed, which is much more developed than Nathan's.. Peter# leaves Peter in the air higher from the ground, and Peter falls..
Peter concentrates and starts floating mid-air.
Peter# ... "Catch me.."
Peter propels harder towards Peter#, but is unable to catch his speed..
Peter is now unable to find Peter#.. He flies in the same direction when he's blocked by something invisible and starts falling..
Peter# re-appears and hits Peter with his fist.. Peter is thrown inside a building,breaking its window panes and is hurt badly, with glass blades all over his body.. Peter takes off these blades using telekinesis and regenerates. He flies outside but he cannot find Peter#. Suddenly the skies become turbulent and lightening strikes start aiming at Peter.
Peter tries to escape the strikes.. Even though some strikes touch him, he feels that he has become resistant to such strikes.
Peter begins to feel a new sensation. A sensation which tells him whether he's in danger or not.. And also tells him the location of the threat. Suddenly he feels that something is behind him.. He sees a car rolling in the air towards him from the streets.. Peter dodges the vehicle in slow motion. He notices Peter# on the street hurling vehicles at him, one by one. He dodges some vehicles when one vehicle hits him and he starts falling. He feels his vision going black. He wakes up on the street over a small crater. He tries to find Peter#, who is nowhere in sight. Suddenly, he sees a fire raving through the street towards him.
Peter... "Oh my god."
Peter freezes himself up, and resists the fire with ease. he sees Peter# walking towards him.. and feels his freezing power weakening.. Peter#'s power dominates. Peter teleports behind Peter# and hits him hard. Peter# falls to the ground. He rises, smiling at Peter.
Peter's hands start glowing..
Peter.. "Oh no..."
Peter# concentrates and blocks Peter from blowing up.
Peter#.. "Good enough. Now you have absorbed some new powers. You're ready to fight Michael. Just dont let him find you first. You'll need to sneak up on him. So its important that you dont try to locate him using your mind. Because if you do that, he will see you. I have to leave now. Good luck finding him."
Peter nods.
Peter# disappears, teleporting himself back to the future.
INT. SOME SORT OF MEDICAL CHAMBER, NEVADA
Sylar is sitting on the ground, with some Rubik's cubes on the floor...
Hiro's body still lies in the room.
Michael/Sylar picks up these cubes, solving them in seconds.
Michael/sylar... "Some talent, huh?"
Michelle.. "Yeah. His aptitude is certainly off the charts."
Michael/sylar.. "We have to find this Peter Petrelli. He can pose a threat. We have to kill him as soon as possible."
Michelle.. "Alright. That will be our top priority."
Michael/sylar.. "And Ive found a list in this mind of all special people Sylar was probing. Which he wanted to kill one after another. Lets finish his job too."
He walks through the lab, thinking..
Michelle.. "So who is Sylar's next victim... ?"
Michael/sylar.. "Someone who Sylar was unable to kill earlier.. due to Peter's interference.. The name is Claire Bennet. She has the power of regenerating herself. She's now in New york. And so if Peter. Sylar killed Peter earlier but Peter probably regenerated. So, to kill Peter, I must get Claire's power too."
Michelle checks Hiro..
Michelle... "I think he's dead."
Michael/sylar.. "Of course he's dead.. Nobody has made it alive..."
Michael/sylar and Michelle decide to leave for new york.
INT. HOSPITAL
Hiro's father arrives at the hospital. He asks Mohinder.. "Where is Hiro... my son?"
Mohinder.. "The last time we saw him, he disappeared away with Sylar.."
Hiro's father [Kaito Nakamura]... "Oh.no."
Mohinder.. "There is someone who can help you find him.."
Kaito.. "Who?"
Molly comes near Mohinder. Mohinder tells her to locate Hiro. Mohinder gives her a map of the United states. She points to Nevada desert.

CHAPTER FOUR
"A hidden parasite"
INT. OLD NEW YORK APARTMENT [PAST]
Claude is young. Claude opens up the door holding some eatables for young michael, who is playing chess. He asks the child some regular questions... "How was your school?"
"Did anything unusual happen with you at school?"
The child says no, but is tired of being asked the same question each day.
The child was called "Michael" by Claude.
Michael's eyes were different, with an enlarged deep brown pupil.
He was a strange child who was very silent in his school, had no friends and would often come home with a bruised eye. Claude was always worried about him.. and deep down he knew that Michael was very special and would soon exhibit a special ability. Claude had saved Michael from the company after he could not witness the things the company doctors were doing to him, keeping him locked in a cat-scan like machine in a chamber all the time and drugged. They said they were trying to bring out his special ability. Claude had developed a special bond to Michael.
And Claude was worried that being in this state in the company would have a bad effect on Michael. And it did have a bad effect...
Michael would have painful nightmares every night and would sometimes fall unconscious. He would never cry, didnt respond to any pain and loved staring at the tip of a lit candle in the dark. He had an unusually good concentration and memory, even as a child.
INT. PRIMATECH PAPER COMPANY.MAIN OFFICE [PAST]
Claude would still go to the company regularly after he stole Michael. Thompson, who was the company chief at that time was trying to figure out who could've taken Michael away. He could think of no one other than Claude.. and decided to do away with him soon.
INT. PRIMATECH PAPER COMPANY.HALLS [PAST]
Claude is moving around in the company with Bennet, having a conversation about some new special person.
HRG.. "This new kid we have got is the first one to exhibit at such a small age. And it is an awesome ability".
Claude recalls Michael after hearing the words "awesome ability"..
Suddenly, Claude feels as if Michael is seeing him.. Michael even says.... "Claude?". Then Claude feels quite confused.
HRG.. "Are you ok?"
Claude feels that he had just witnessed Michael's ability. But he does not know that this was only one aspect to his ability.
INT.HOSPITAL.RECEPTION, NY [present]
Peter had just met HRG in his room. Peter is lost in thought and walks down to the reception where he meets Mohinder, Molly, Micah and Nikki.
All stare at him as he walks towards them.
Mohinder.. "Hello Peter"
Peter.. "Its been a while, Mohinder. Thanks for saving my life. My mother said you had brought my body."
Mohinder.. "Well i was supposed to bring a dead body to your house. But how on earth did you survive?"
Peter.. "Long story Mohinder. But Ill tell you one thing.. I have a very special gift. And I wasted it all these days. But now I've realised that I am really meant for something bigger in life... Like I told you when I had first met you, in the taxi.."
Mohinder.. "Yeah I remember.. But Peter, isnt flying your special ability?"
Peter.. "No. that's someone else's."
Mohinder.. "So you're ability must be to absorb other abilities.."
Mohinder looks at Micah, Molly and Nikki, thinking about Molly's ability.
Mohinder.. "But if thats you're ability, then it means...."
But when he turns around, he finds that Peter has disappeared and says "Thats right"...
EXT.HOSPITAL, NY[present]
Peter is walking down the street, thinking... He sees the city that was saved the night before.. He feels relieved..
INT. RESTAURANT [present]
Peter walks inside a restaurant where he orders a coffee. He sees a group of children watching a kid playing street fighter at an arcade machine.
Machine sound "Round TWO, fight!"
The children are cheering him up. Peter finishes his coffee and walks up to them.
Peter remembers walking up to this restaurant in his school days and playing street fighter against his friends.. He remembers that he never lost against any of his friends or the machine.
The kid is playing against a computer opponent. Peter watches him fight, closely.... Suddenly, the opponent on the screen freezes in place. Peter is confused.
The kid keeps hitting the frozen opponent. Suddenly, the opponent hits the kid's player as soon as Peter thinks about it.. Peter soon realizes that he can somehow control the opponent. He begins controlling its actions using just his mind... The computer opponent badly beats the kid's opponent..
Machine sound "YOU LOST"
Peter realizes that there were a lot of special people at the hospital, little did he knew that this was Micah's ability...
He decides to go meet Isaac..
INT. OLD NEW YORK APARTMENT [PAST]
Claude returns home. He sees little Michael waiting for him..
Michael.. "Claude...?? What happened..? I saw you a few hours ago, in my mind!"
Claude.. There is something I have to tell you.."
Claude goes invisible. Michael stands up, terrified..
Claude comes back into visibility.. He tells Michael about how special he is and also tells him about the company. He also tells Michael that he is special himself..
Claude gives Michael a watch as a gift. The watch is of the brand "Sylar"...
Another flashback... now many years have passed and Michael is young, still living with his guardian Claude.
INT. OLD NEW YORK APARTMENT [FEW DAYS BEFORE PRESENT DAY]
Claude is now quite old with an unshaven beard and moustache. Michael has grown up, seems the same age as Peter, but has a strong built.
Claude had seen some tough times and had now become very aggressive and used to take out his anger on Michael. Michael would take the pain of his beatings without any reaction.
Michael was still always silent, had quit school and was now working as a mechanic in an auto body company.
One day, Claude came home drunk and got angry at Michael. He started beating Michael with a staff and Michael kept looking into his eyes with a very serious gaze.
Suddenly, Michael's body started feeling light.. There was an unbearable sound in his ears and even though he was still, he felt his vision moving towards Claude. Claude's expression changed.
Michael closed his eyes tight, unable to bear it. When he opened his eyes, he was inside Claude's body and he saw his own body collapse to the floor in front of him.
He checked his own hearbeat.. His heart was still beating very fast, as it would normally beat if he saw something scary. He had this experience many times in his life, but most of the time he fainted after getting into his body again and would dismiss the whole incident as a nightmare.
While in Claude's body, he starts feeling uneasy again.. Blood starts coming through his nose.. Everything Claude had been through starts flashing before Michael's eyes.. every flash of memory starts blazing across Michael's mind.. in a distorted way..

He hears a sound "I am afraid it is"..

SCRIPT:
INT. ST. PAUL CATHEDRAL, NY [night of the prophesized explosion]
Meanwhile, at a church not far away, in a chamber, a man wakes up from his sleep.. he’s sweating, afraid and slowly everything around him shakes….
He’s thinking…..This can’t be happening again.. I had learnt how to control it..
He starts shaking and everything around him flies around uncontrollably..
He walks out of his chamber and enters a secret door at the back of the church leading into a room in the basement that he had built years ago..
He closes the outer door and walks in, struggling desperately.. He starts saying prayers..
everything in this room shakes highly uncontrollably and all things go up and touch the ceiling.
He calls the Haitian…
“Help me. please. It has gone beyond my control. You’re the only one who can help me!”
His body keeps on shaking and he turns invisible. He begins absorbing nearby things into himself till everything is gone and keeps on trembling, trying to control it.. He slowly gains control over his power, becomes visible and falls unconscious…
INT. ST. PAUL CATHEDRAL, NY [daytime]
The Haitian walks in... goes towards the church chambers…
The door of a chamber reads “Reverend Gray”.. He sees that Gray is not inside..
He goes to the back of the church, opens up a latch showing up a secret door in the basement..
He pushes open the door to see that everything lies broken, a man lying down on the floor at the center.. He sees some pieces of furniture floating in the air around him, some pieces touching the ceiling... A phone line lies in the open with no handset attached to it….. The Haitian lifts his hand out.. concentrates.. the pieces fall to the ground.. He’s surprised that he has to put more concentration to block this man’s power, even though he’s knocked unconscious..
He tries to wake him up..
After a moment, the man gains consciousness.. He is James Gray…The Haitian is shocked to see him as he looks much older..
James.. “It has gone beyond my control.. Please.. You have to stay with me from now on.. Because you’re the only on who can stop me.. “
The Haitian.. “Don’t worry father gray, I’ll stay with you from now on.. But first, I have to talk to someone.. I’ll be back soon..”
James.. “No problem.. But please try to be back by tomorrow”
The Haitian.. “Alright”
The Haitian leaves..
The Haitian calls on Claire’s phone.. asking for HRG
She hands over the phone to HRG.. HRG tells him to come over to a hospital..

The Haitian enters the hospital, and as he walks over to the reception, he sees Mohinder nikki, micah and molly.
He asks at the reception about Bennet, goes to his room.
Molly watches him go…
INT.HOSPITAL.BENNET’S ROOM, NY
Claire stands beside her father, who’s in bed, recovering.. The Haitian enters..
Haitian…”How are you? What happened?”
HRG.. ”What is more important is that the tragedy has been prevented. The bomb didn’t go off..
Haitian.. ”I’ve come here to tell you that I was told by someone I really believe in that this shouldn’t have happened.”
HRG.. “What?”
The Haitian asks Claire to leave the room, so that both hrg and him can talk in private.
Haitian.. “The bomb was supposed to go off…”
HRG.. “I don’t know who you’re working for… But what do you plan to do after blowing up the city? To me, you people are worse than Sylar….
Haitian.. “It is too complicated for me to tell you. But I’ll only tell you that the world you’re about to see, will be something so ugly, it’ll bring more destruction than a nuclear bomb can bring.. and it wont stop.. The people I work for had tried to avert that.. But now, It’ll be very hard for all of us..”
The Haitian feels that someone is behind him.. Its Peter..
The Haitian is shocked to see him.. He immediately closes his eyes in order to block Peter from absorbing his ability.. Too late…
Haitian.. “I have to go”…
He leaves..
Peter knows exactly what the Haitian was talking about and who had told him all this.. But he keeps silent, not to disturb HRG..
HRG.. “As soon as im ok, I’ll investigate on who he’s working with, because these people have to be stopped soon..
Peter.. “but now you need to rest..”
HRG nods and Peter goes out and talks to Claire..
INT.HOSPITAL.RECEPTION, NY

[background music of the exorcist]
sound of heartbeats...
Sylar sees his vision clearing from a blurred view.. Sylar is slowly recovering.. He sees Hiro. The room has some medical equipment.
Sylar.... "Where am I? who are you?"...
Hiro looks serious.. his voice being the same, but a very serious tone.. But this time he speaks fluent English.
Hiro.... "Sylar...hmmm..
They make good watches.. I used to have one of them…..”
Sylar... "You're not Hiro.. Who are you? And what have you done to him?"
Hiro... "I am the most special person there is...."
INT. ST. PAUL CATHEDRAL, NY
The Haitian returns to the church. James is relieved to see him.
James looks quite old, in his 50’s with white hair and shriveled skin. He has like a very old Gabriel.
James.. “You have helped me from turning into a monster many times. I owe you my life. And I am very grateful that you’ve agreed to stay with me.
Haitian.. “You have helped me too, during my dark times…”
James.. “I am growing more and more older and weaker.. It will be soon that I’ll die, due to this curse. So I wish to meet my mother one last time… Its been a long time I didn’t go out …
of the fear that what would I do.. “
Haitian.. “Alright.. I’ll take you to her.”
INT. SOME SORT OF MEDICAL CHAMBER, NEVADA
[background music of the exorcist]
Sylar finds himself in restrains.. He cannot get up.. And he cannot use his powers due to some drug injections..
Sylar.. “why did u save me?”
Hiro.. “Because of your ability.. I don’t know how you use your god-gifted ability to capture other abilities.. Either way, I’m going to find out, whether you want to tell me… or not”.
Sylar is confused.. but he knows that the man possessing Hiro wants to possess his body..
Hiro.. “Yes, I’m going to possess your soul… I’ll bereave you of your body …once you’re in a good condition, I will… So I’ll wait until your wounds are healed.”
Sylar feels like killing him with whatever he can lay his hands on, but his body is completely incapable.
Hiro… “Don’t be so hard on yourself..”
Sylar.. “Who are you? And what do you want?
Hiro.. “I am Michael.. You have a very special gift, so do I.. difference is, yours is no match against me.. I can take over other people’s bodies.. their “souls” to be appropriate… And when I do, I gain all of that person’s life-long memories.. I am aware of every moment of that person’s life.. Also, when I got into this host, I’ve even learnt Japanese now.. And I’ve also learnt how to use his powers, in seconds after I took over his body.. It took me so many years to develop and control this potential.. but there’s still one thing that I cannot control…. When I leave a host’s body, sometimes the person dies...“
Sylar feels helpless and continues struggling..
Hiro.. “Soon there’ll be one day when there’s a thin line between me and god… When I saw your potential, I figured that you’ll be my LAST HOST…..”
The camera zooms into Hiro’s [Michael’s] eyes into a scene showing one of the pivotal moments of his life………
