    We can solve those problems directly or indirectly by tying superman to a dynamo. With free energy even the issues with materials can be solved over time.

      Just have superman round up every billionaire and political leader and drop them off on an deserted island, and the rest of us can start fixing our problems like adults.

          Then the myth that they are special might live on. Broadcast their island ineptitude as they all die and we might wake from that dream.

      Isn’t that just a solar panel with extra steps?

        I would say the energy output Superman is capable of implies he’s actually a step-up transformer as well as a solar panel. He’d be much more efficient, but of course you only have one Superman.

        Now im curious. I’m just an electrician, not an engineer. How much of the grid could Superman power? Someone figure out his kilowatt-hour figures please 😅

          • Yoda could barely lift that X-Wing, Superman can outrun bullets. The sheer kinetic force he’s capable of producing would be orders of magnitude higher than Yoda, and more consistent too

          Depends on the writer I guess.

          Morrison? He just does a one energy cumblast while macrodosing some shrooms and Earth goes into overdrive. Humanity needs a new Si prefix for Wh.

            Just about every iteration could easily power thousands of mountain sized gravity batteries.
