Re: Year One

 

Your Superman can't fly if he's playing the quiet game?

[Cassandra]

Re: Year One

 

True, but he's not Batman.

 

If I had to points I'd give him Instant Change with Incantations "This Looks Like a job for Superman"

 

Oh, wait, I just did.

[ayinde]

Re: Year One

 

thought he could not fly when he started out

[RexMundi]

Re: Year One

 

Depends on which Start Out you want to go with. Good Build.

Woot ! Superman in 250 points ! Never thought I'd see such a thing been possible

 

Here's a fistful of kisses and a big rep !

[Cassandra]

Re: Year One

 

I changed the original (-1/4) incantations to OIHID for two reasons. One, with Instant Change he doesn't lose much time transforming into Superman. And two, it's an homage to Smallville in that he didn't start flying until he wore the suit.

[Greywind]

Re: Year One

 

I call shenanigans. He flew in the barn facing Darkseid. Then he flew to the fortress to get the suit before flying off to deal with Apokolips.

 

[Cassandra]

Re: Year One

 

I thought he teleported to the fortress.

Re: Year One

 

I thought he teleported to the fortress.

I'd have to re-watch. I'm mid-s6 right now.

[Cassandra]

Re: Year One

 

He might have run.

 

The write up just has him change to fly.

[Greywind]

Re: Year One

 

Apparently the flying thing on Smallville was a confidence thing with Clark.

[Cassandra]

Re: Year One

 

Right. Supergirl could fly right from the start.

[Greywind]

Re: Year One

 

I'm thinking she was able to fly before Zor-El stuck her in her ship, like the rest of the Kryptonians.

Re: Year One

 

Kara could fly when she got to earth.

 

I dont' think they used the character very well.

[Greywind]

Re: Year One

 

They really didn't. Kara could fly. She was under the lake for about 15 years. That's why I think she could fly before she got to Earth.

In my verions of the DC Universe Linda Danvers played Wonder Woman on the TV show.

Byrne hit on that a few times if you look at his flashbacks to Krypton you see Kryptonians doing the stand up float fly everywhere. I tend to side with the Kryptonians and their spin off, could do more then human, before getting a yellow sun super charge. Maybe not as much, but at least something.

 

~Rex

[Cassandra]

Re: Year One

 

I know the Kryptonians were supposed to be "supermen", and capable of leaping great distances even in the 1938 comics, but I didn't think they got their powers until they were exposed to Yellow Sun Energy.
