10 DC Characters Weaker Than Superman Who Could (In Theory) Kill Him
As I specified in a recent article (about heroic characters who are more powerful than Superman), I'm a huge Superman fan and a huge fan of comics in general, so this is in no way an attempt to sully the character it is merely another attempt to deal in facts and shed some light on a myth, particularly as the last article of this nature went down very well and it's generally an interesting topic...
The myth in question is the one about Superman being nigh unkillable because it simply isn't true so I'm going to point out a few characters from DC Comics who, utilising consistent feats of power and/or standard usage of their abilities as actual evidence, could outright kill the man of steel using their standard powers (i.e. without any preparation, outside interference or objects of power/inventions) in the right circumstances, despite the fact that they aren't actually as powerful as him overall.
Now, I am absolutely not trying to say that these characters would beat Superman in a straight fight - this would require the characters catching Superman by surprise or Superman not fighting back (due to being restrained, for example) - but I absolutely am saying that these characters could potentially kill Superman without having to use anything other than their standard powers and/or equipment. I'm prepared for the fact that there will be a lot of disagreement from hardcore fans of the character who simply don't like the fact that their hero isn't as invulnerable as they'd like him to be, but part of being a fan of the character is knowing everything about him or her including their limitations so do be open-minded please!
On that note, using actual evidence from comic books i.e. mentioning actual ways in which said characters could kill the man of steel by way of feats of power that they've actually demonstrated, here are ten DC Comics characters who are weaker than Superman, but who could (in theory) kill him without prep (not that some of these characters would ever want to do that, it's just speaking hypothetically)...
