10 Stupid Arguments About Superman That Don't Make Sense

2. He Has Too Many Powers

It's true that Superman has had some rather out-there abilities over the years. As time went by his skillset expanded past the faster than a speeding bullet/leaping tall buildings in a single bound/more powerful than a locomotive line up so that he could knock people out by kissing them, travel through time by flying around the world backwards, and even peel off his symbol to throw at people. Recently he even discovered the power to absorb a load of the solar energy and then unleash it in a nuclear explosion. Even without all those recent additions, however, there are those who thing that Superman is already plenty overpowered, with the strength and the flying and the heat vision as well. Obviously that's down to him being the first modern superhero that was created, so he got all the good powers. He's far from over-powered, though. The genre - in fact, DC Comics in particular - is full of characters who are essentially gods and who laugh in the face of Superman. It's like the opposite of saying Batman only works because of his gadgets, but has the same answer: it's the man who uses those powers that matters.
