Besides, Cosmic Armor Superman.
Is Superman universal?
Silver Age Superman - at least multi galaxical, probably universal; modern Superman - likely planetary.
I saw one scan where Superman went all out with his heat vision and Raven said that she thought the only one capable of that kind of power was Trigon (this was pre52). Cant find the scan anymore, I saw it on instagram, and I think the admin that posted the scan was over-balling the feat idk. All I can say is that he isn't capable of destroying Universes, but with a healthy dose of plot and writer power he can probably fight people off who are capable of destroying universes.
Bump, and he does have some universal feats in Post Crisis, his most impressive is in Pre Crisis though.
Yeah he is. All versions of Superman are limitless and can destroy universes if they wanted to. It's only because of his moral code, he holds back so that he doesn't end up killing anybody. Otherwise Superman could have used universe level attacks on any of his opponents.
No. Even SA at best is multi galactic and that by only durability, his actual strength feats aren't even galaxy level.
Superman's strength is potentially limitless by feats and statements. Does he use that power normally? No. If he did then his story would be full of more inconsistencies than it already is. He uses as much power as he needs to in order to keep the story interesting, as per the writer's discretion.
He is strong as he need to be...Today he will struggle against street level punks but tomorrow he will tank galaxy destructive level force point blank...And day after tomorrow he will move faster than people with teleportation....Few days later he will lose to Batman in H2H and few weeks later he will defeat Darkseid...

By that logic every character is as strong as he needs to be. That is why we look at consistency, and based on consistency, Superman has planetary strength, Moon busting striking power, planetary durability, FTL speed and reflexes and is overall planetary threat. Not below or above.

Where do you get this stuff?
@krleavenger: By that logic? r you seriously live in denial that comics are the world on their own? Of course they are strong as they need to be..Of course Superman,Goku,Thor,ichigo,YUGI,Naruto,He man etc... will win at the end of the day...Of course Good always beats Evil and of course it is inevitable to be inconsistent...closest we got to consistent like in real world is game of thrones series where every major character got killed but last few seasons they are being inconsistent aswell....We are literally debating something that depends on the mood of the writter...If faith of universe rests in hands of the single pedestrian in Metropolis street against Spectre,Presence,silver age superman and JLA uber team what do you think who will win in the end ? i can stake my life on pedestrian to dumpster them all... Comics,anime,mangas are fun but when you start to mature you realise that is all meant to entertain children and nothing more....
Point is Superman is limiltelss if he needs to defeat evil guys or save the planet Earth just like any other character in fiction...
@straja: that's probably the most ignorant thing I've seen all day
@midnightdragon18: Keep telling that to yourself bro it is not like we are debating fictional characters here or something....from all chains and cages in the world invisible one are the worst....
Silver Age.
^^^^
@straja: you say manga is for kids, but there are literally genres of manga made for kids and genres made for adults
@midnightdragon18: I said about this genre of manga and comics that 90 percent of people here follows and yes they are for kids....Of course there are other mangas and comics who are meant for adults but anyone who watches superman JL and similar show together with naruto dragon ball one piece etc. that is meant for kids...I admit i have maturity and mental issues considering i am 20+ and i watch these shows nothing wrong with that...i just dont get why people get offended when someone state the obvious...
@flakeking: If the writers want Aunt May to be universal 1 day then she's universal. I have no idea how this answers the question though.
@corvin123: Me either :/
Only Silver Age is. Modern Superman isnt anywhere remotely close to that level. He’s more like planet level with MFTL speed, and solar system level durability.
You might find some debatably Universal feats in Post Crisis, but those are just ridiculously high outliers. Even characters like Hulk and Thor have them as well.
