I would imagine the mirror would smash with the force.

True, but his skin is indestructible.I'm wondering if the puss would billed up under his skin and he'd just resemble a giant blue and red puss-filled boil.

SuperMan 3 is on BBC1 as we speak!

As official geek info-man, I feel obliged to answer this (no matter how inane it actually is).

First off, under a yellow sun, Superman's Kryptonian cells absorb the solar radiation, and then use it to generate his various powers. His "invulnerability" is a direct result of his Kryptonian cells creating a sort of "force field" around his body (this is why his costume rarely gets torn or smudged. A creature has to be hella strong to actually penetrate his body's natural force field). This having been said, it would be rather difficult for any dirt or debris to get through this field in order to actually clog one of his pores. Likewise, it is unlikely that he could get any infection into his body that would cause acne (his immune system, under the yellow sun, is highly advanced, thus rendering it impossible for him to catch any earth-borne illnesses). Clark Kent (Kal El to all you Kryptonians), first started to manifest his powers at puberty, so chances are that he was never subject to the many problems that we udergo during this time.

Now, suppossing for a second that a piece of debris was able to get through his protective shield, and he actually developed a "zit", Superman would still be able to pop it. He has super-strength, for one, and his "invulnerability" does not extend to himself (for example, he is able to shave and cut his hair using his heat vision)

Any questions?

Well let us know if he gets any spots. Especially in the part where he goes all stubbly and starts flicking peanuts.

If the crystal that powers the saber was made of Kryptonite, it would. I reckon.

That was actually something I addressed. Check out the thread here:

JediMaster said:

ah, u seem like an intelligent chap...so why was Darth Maul underused in Phantom Menace...he kicked ass in the two books set before PM!!!

Ardeo said:

Agreed. He's also awesome in the Darth Maul Mini-Series that Dark Horse Comics did. Its collected in a trade paperback, and I highly recommend it!!

Hey Jedi here's one for the books(I've discussed this a few times with fellow aficionados but never came to a conclusion):Kryptonians are impervious to pain under the yellow sun.So,if two or more Kryptonians do battle(a la Superman 2),when one is hit/kicked do they actually FEEL pain?Technically, they shouldn't,because they are under a yellow sun.They maybe moved by the sheer force of impact ,but I'm guessing there is no pain involved.Your thoughts?

silentflute said:

Actually, they aren't entirely impervious to pain. They are just impervious to normal, earthbound weapons like bullets, missles, etc. It would take something with Superman's strength or greater for him to feel the pain of being hit. Another Kryptonian would DEFINITELY be able to hurt Superman.

JediMaster said:

so in other words,a kryptonian punching another kryptonian under a yellow sun would feel the same as it dioes to us?or would it be worse?

silentflute said:

The same.
