Could superman stab himself?

The knife would break because it's not super. But if he punched himself in the stomach with all his might he would no doubt kill himself.

But that would imply that his super strength is greater than his super toughness.

Yeah, and then you start getting into the whole chicken versus the egg thing and you don't want that.

Agreed. i mean, if you punch yourself as hard as you could, would you kill yourself?

He could probably do it if it were a kryptonite knife.

Knife would break, punch would hurt himself the equivilant as if a human did it to themself.


Super human strength but also super human toughness

Question is, how could LEx luther have enough force to penetrate Supes (like in the movie). Sorry, couldn't happen...

No, because his suit is invincible too if it's within x distance from his body.

What are you, an amateur? A real question would be "is superman's poop invincible"

Does this mean Superman will never experience the joy of erotic asphyxiation?

A kryptonite belt would do it. i imagine it would be awkward if Ma Kent walked in on him doing it though.

A mundane knife would break.

Since we're already in dork hell here, with a question this inane, his "yellow sun" stat boost in STR is proportionate to his boost in CON and damage reduction. In other words, if he punches himself for some stupid reason, it will hurt himself as much as if a mundane human punches himself. Reason being?

When Superman fights other Krypton survivors, sure, it's a clash of the titans from the perspective of a mundane, but in those battles, the actual physical conditioning matters since they all get the same superpowers and physical boosts.

I don't think Superman's other powers can hurt himself, like his heat vision and whatnot.

Kryptonite radiation interrupts/negates the energy field surrounding Superman's body, a field that is largely responsible for his invulnerability.

Yeah, the suit is special, and serves as a decent, durable, light armor, but it's nothing compared to the energy field. Much of his toughness is just that field. Super high DR / kryptonite.

so, you could throw some kryptonite around his neck and then shoot him in the head with an ordinary bullet?

true...but i dont think there could be a knife strong enough to go through(it would just break)

since iv seen SUPERMAN go through buildings, crash through mountains, dig through concrete, smash through tanks, or any other kind of reinforced metal...the next best question is:

DO I think SUPERMAN could find an object strong enough to to kill himself with??

or.....he could just take out some

The aura is dumb. They should just make his skin super tough like every other invunerable guy. Superman can't even get his face dirty because of his "super aura". :lol Which meanshe probably can't even pee.

Superman is uncircumcised. Unless it is a krypton tradition and he had it done before he left.

I think he wants to kill himself because he doesnt want to live in a world so stupid that they think glasses are a disguise.

this thread actually brings up a good point.

Superman's skin is basically unpenetratable
I am assuming that Superman's penis is uncircumcised, unless his parents used kryptonite to circumcise his penis.

Also, when he had sex with Luis Lane, did he have sex with her once?? Did he damage her vagina??

Superman didn't have powers as a baby people. It took his body a while to process the solar energy.

I think when they havee sex, Lois will be doing all the work. Any thrust from supes will rip her apart. And then I would wager supes would have to pull out. When he busts a nut, is it like shooting a bullet?

Superman had to be exposed to kryptonite to get a haircut on Lois and Clark iirc, then they made a clone of him. Maybe he's like Goku and his hair only grows so long

hey, since this is already sad enough, it must be asked:

Goku v Superman: who wins?

Does Supes have pubes? Or does he heat vision it all off like when he shaves his face? Or does he leave a stripe like a stripper?

Superman wouldn't kill Lois during sex for the same reason he doesn't break peoples' hands off when he shakes them -- because he's had practice and can control his abilities.

i'm reminded of what Supes said to Darkseid in the final episode of JLU -
I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to breaak something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to loose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am.

That seems like a grey area. He has used his heat vision (bounced off a mirror) to shave before. (Same comic said that he can control his hair length purely as a mental process.)

This reminds me of teh time when a guy from my undergrad, in all seriousness told me that because Superman was so fast, that normal people talking to him sounded really slow.

And this guys step(half?)brother, reckoned he could jump from the 9th floor with a sheet as a parachute. He seriously thought that was all it took. We didn't even dare him to try it, in fear of him actually trying it.

In Man of Steel #10 Lex Luthor caused Superman's powers to go haywire, including his heat vision. Superman tried blocking the heat rays with his hands before any bystanders got zapped, but they increased in intensity and began to burn his eyelids and palms. So he's definitely hurt himself with his powers in the past.

I only mention it because I'm reading vol. 5 of the Man of Steel TPBs. You know, the one that also has a story where Superman almost becomes a porn star.

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
When I saw this thread I thought of Mallrats....

Brodie: It's impossible, Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry her child?

T.S. Quint: Sure, why not

Brodie: He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. That would kill him.

I'm free 2night after my LARPing guild meets.
What would he use to cut his finger and toe nails with? Does he have a special pair of kryptonite nail clippers? What if lost them somewhere? He'd have like 10 foot fingernails and shit!
