Why are Superman knock offs so damn OP?

Why are Superman knock offs so damn OP?
This dude stopped the moon with 5 fingers.

Because Superman is OP.

...

did irredeemable ever reach a resolution or did waid get bored and stop writing it or what

Because Superman is the ultimate icon of power in western media. If you want to create a parody of him you're going to create something even more op.

>Not posting what he does after.

One of the best scenes in the book to be quite honest family.

6 fingers actually

Superman's strength varies between writers.

The same applies to generic Superman knock-offs.

It's called dramatic effect, son. You should look into it sometime.

OC Superman Donut Steels for original stories and settings can be as OP as they want.

Superman has to share a universe with other heroes and so has to be reigned in lest he trivialize every big crossover event.

So All-Star Superman is free to be close to his Silver Age '60s planet-chucking self, and Red Son and Kingdom Come Superman are free to tank nukes and trivialize (almost) anything that gets in their way.

But the mainstay one? He's subject to the whims of editorial.

yeah
qubit beats the plutonian even after he got the biggest power boost ever through clever word play and a system of portals

i looked it up on viewcomic

apparently waid's IM MAD AT THE INTERNET superman expy transcends spacetime and becomes the inspiration for superman

what a fucking twat

the problem with having superman work out on machines where he bench presses the weight of earth isn't that superman is OP, it's that the machines are.

why aren't we using these machines that can output force equal to the entire weight of the earth for anything other than superman's weight training

>pirating comics
>not buying comics to support the industry
You don't belong here.

>supporting the industry
hahahahahahahaha

he was just letting the rest of the league feel useful, if he was alone he would have done it without their help because Superman never lets people down

Because the guy already is OP as fuck

How does Superman fly?

Does he propel himself by farting?

bioelectric field

That's stupid and wouldn't work.

push off from the earth

m1v1-T=m2v2

basic physics, 3rd law of motion

>Because superman is a pussy and my character is way better than him.

That isn't electromagnetism, bruh.

He doesn't move, he makes the rest of the universe move with his willpower

You know, it would ruin the awe that Superman projects if a long, unending fart sound effect accompanied him whenever her flew.

Try to imagine BvS, but what Superman farting all the time.

Why is Mr. Majestic the best off brand Superman?

I assume the machine somehow works against itself. So nobody but somebody with super strength could bring these levels out

He flexes his Floatorials. Fact.

This position looks like an overhead press rather than a bench press.

Fuck off waid, I wouldn't support your shitty ass comic if you paid me.
