kryptonite...serious question, kind of.

[cwc73]

Ok, I'm not a BIG Superman fan, but I said something and my room mate wanted me to verify it.

I said the reason Superman was so strong was because his home planet was made of an element that was superdense and caused the planet to have a strong gravitational force.

I need to find out what the element was for sure (I think krypton) and how much was it susposed to weigh. I read this info in a science article one day, so I know it is out there, but I couldn't find it.

Karma for help.

Thanks

no Krypton had a red sun...his super powers were from our yellow sun, its was mentioned in an early superman comic around 1969

Nah that's all bullshit. Superman was strong because of his heavy cycles. In his planet babies are feed with d-bol every morning and as young athletes they use a gram of sust per week, a gram of NPP pero week, GH year round, a-bombs every morning and genetic manipulation. That "planet" and "sun" powers were created because Superman knew feds were watchin the movie.

haha, I'm sure you spoke with your roommates about your emotions when you were going through your breakup with your ex (now reinstated) g/f.

My roomate and I talk about fucking girls, physics, girls, boobs, ass, math - its a good mix always coming back to the most primal of things.

 

[Sam_Trautman]

Wow. that's even too geeky for me.

sorry what was that? i only heard something about fucking girls...boobs, ass.... was there something in between?

 

[digger]

ROFL.

1969 ain't early, RADAR -- the Man of Steel has been around since 193freakin'8.

Okay, let's see how much I remember without firing up Google... around 1947 the idea was that the planet Krypton had a uranium core, which gave it heavy gravity but also led to it blowing up, and turned all the fragments into kryptonite. I liked that version of the story.

Co-creators Siegel and Shuster just thought the name "Krypton" sounded cool. (It means "hidden" in Greek.) The element of that name has nothing to do with Superman.

Very early on he just jumped really high, sort of like the Hulk, but when they did tests for an animated cartoon (1941) it looked stupid, so they decided to make him fly, and to explain that, they also started to de-emphasize the "lighter gravity" side of things and emphasize the "yellow sun" as the source of his powers.

In that same animated series, he could fly, but only if he jumped off of something solid first. Like if he was hanging on to an airplane, and a cannon or something knocked him off of it, he'd have to fall all the way to the ground before he could take off again.

Oh, yeah -- in the very first story, all the Kryptonians were super. They didn't need cars because they ran everywhere, etc etc. The idea that they were just like us when under their red sun came quite a bit later.

 

[UA_Iron]

hmm digger if you can remember back that far you're old dude.

 

[jerseyart]

Yeah, I think the reason the answer is so difficult to nail down is its never been consistent.

The yellow sun is the answer. Because without it supposedly he would just be normal. But I think they incorporated soemthing about the heavy gravity of his planet, and the red usn, to make it make some kind of pseudo sense.

 

[digger]

hmm digger if you can remember back that far you're old dude.

One word: REPRINTS.

But yeah, RADAR and me, we both go back, Jack.

Ok. Well, I'll put it this way. The superman stuff came in between the boobs, ass, and pootang pie chat. We saw a Batman Begginings Trailer (somewhere) and we got to talking about Christopher Reeves. Then it went to that little article I said I read. So, I ASSURE you, there aint no gayness in this household. I'll get the K spread out to all the HELPFUL posts...(and red for the other bastards...just kidding) when I get a chance.

Fucking A. She is way hot. I love her eyes, very exotic.

 

[digger]

Yeah, it's always so weird how they hook Supe up with Lois in the comics and Lana gets left.

(Speaking of Lana Lang and hot redhaired actresses, there was some movie, I forget everything else about it, but there was a scene where Annette O'Toole went for a skinnydip in an indoor pool. Had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the rest of the movie, but hey, who cares?)

 

[HdanSjr]

I'll admit i'm a dork, my wife says i'm a dork as well...oh well.....but like some posts have said, he gets his powers from the yellow sun...thats how in Superman II the three villians get their powers, they are fueled by our sun. Anyways, there's a website out there...supermanhomepage.com...there was an article on it a while ago about his powers of flight, and one write for DC comics suggested that in one of the subseries of the comics he uses his mind and wills himself to fly...i know i'll probably get burned for being a dork, but who cares.
