Superconfused

Supermans powers are not magic.
Superman needs the yellow sun to retain and use his "superhuman" abilities.
As all this is biological.
How and where does he store said energy?

Cells
and metabolism

Its Kryptonian bullshit DNA, user, there's only so much you can explain. His explanation for flight and why he doesn't inadvertently destroy large objects when picking them up is cool though; he emits a anti gravity field.......somehow

mitochondria

Its concentrated directly in the spit curl.

And the night? It's absence of "yellow sun", prick.

So it's bullshit as he doesn't even get a little fatty on a slow couple on weeks.

PS: Thanks

In the tires of the Batmobile.

There's a special pocket dimension where he keeps it. Every Kryptonian has one.

Up his ass.

Solar energy is stored in the balls

in his dick

His cells. Its why in All-Star after he gets too close to the sun he gets Super-Cancer.

Maybe the yellow sun energy is just a catalyst that actives the kryptonian organs behind his powers so he doesn't have to store huge amounts of it, that could be considered "magical" in the sense that is just advanced alien fictional biology with the exception of the heat vision that is the actual solar energy expelled.

He doesn't store it chemically (fat).

I like to imagine he doesn't directly get his powers from sunlight, but rather it just allows his cells to draw power from the Source.

You do realize how solar batteries work, right? The problem is really that various writers have used various ways of saying 'direct red sunlight' (a) immediately depletes (b) quickly/rapidly depletes and/or (c) slowly depletes the stored energy, depending on whatever plot contrivances they were using for this plot, and the editors let it slide.


In most cases, the red sun has an immediate effect, but once Clark is back in yellow sunlight, it's negated and he's full powered (or near full powered) once again. This is a situation where there is essentially no solar battery. So people have asked, well what about when it's dark. Actually, the sun is still shine, we're just not seeing it. If Superman flew up outside the immediate atmosphere of the planet, he'd be getting direct sunlight.

Essentially it's comic book science, just lie back and enjoy it.

Kryptonian DNA-structures are literally so fucking complex that only beings with 12th level intellects can even begin to understand them, or straight-up Gods. Trying to understand how Kryptonians work through "normal" means is utterly impossible.

People in the 30's didn't understand biology

!930s-40s Supes got his powers from coming from a higher-gravity world like John Carter of Mars did.

Kryptonian cells act as solar batteries when dealing with yellow sun radiation. They take in the energy and expend it through the use of powers.

Tactile Telekinesis or Flight Glands Sup Forums, which do you prefer?
