>he can't see thru leadBut.. why?
>>153136075Because its "x-ray" vision anon.
>>153136075short answer: a convenient way to block X-rayslonger answer: because lead is the metal most readers know that can reasonably stop X-rays, depleted uranium would work better but then the audience wont stop asking aboutt the specifics, sufficiently thick steel lacks the same brevity as just saying lead
>>153136075Can he see through the sun?
>>153136105No it's too bright
>>153136105The sun is a strong approximation of a black body. So no.
>>153136075Lead is very dense.Superman can't just see through everything he has to focus on it.Logically it makes sense very dense items are harder or impossible for him to see through.
>>153136075can you?
it's his one weakness
>>153136453Weak knees?
>>153136453That Daxamites.Which is pretty fucked up, they are a species essentially the same as Kryptonians in gaining similar powers... but for some reason their weakness isn't a special mineral but common lead, and when they get exposed to lead they aren't just poisoned and weakened for a little while but lose ALL their powers FOREVER and essentially get terminal cancer.What's up with such hardcore jobbing on a biological level of Daxas compared to Kryps? Seems ridiculous.
>>153136075because it wood lead to a paradox
X-ray vision was originally considered as emitting literal x-rays, and heat vision started out as an application of that. He has to be considerate about focusing too hard to see something or he'll start fires.
>>153136075because superman is the nortubel of dc
>>153136887>A pervy kryptonian stares at your tits too hard>They burst into flames
>>153136892Yeah, that, too
>>153136931what's this from?
>>153136476>lose ALL their powers FOREVERI'm assuming that's a retcon. Originally it was just permanent and fatal until brainy came up with his lead antidote.
