    He has no protection against supernatural stuff. Atleast not magic, It's gonna hurt him like any creature.

    Magic and supernatural – pretty much one and the same in comics.

    Ki/chi – well, I know that Post-Crisis Superman affected by that. Then again, it’s probably just like with magic – when in serious need, Supes most likely will be able to overcome ki/chi’ effects.

    I'm sure he would be if the ki blast/beam was really powerful. Superman can feel punches if he is hit hard enough, so im sure if the ki blast was immensely powerful he would feel it, its not like its going to go right through him.

    Can we stop this now before the wrong person comes in and turns this into another Superman vs Goku thread ? Also no I don't think he has any special defence against it, but like most things in comics it depends on who is writing him.

    Chi is often considered a different thing altogether from magic. An interesting discussion about chi being magic was brought up on this thread here: http://www.comicvine.com/forums/battles-7/battle-of-the-week-eriks-battle-scenario-capes-1549942/?page=72

    And I don't think Danny can one shot Superman either. Durable beings like the Hulk have tanked the full force of Danny's strikes and Superman's blunt force trauma resistance is among the best in the DCU. If he can shrug off a punch to the moon, he can tank Danny's punches too.

    I don't think Chi is magical. It's metaphysical, sure, but it's usually depicted as something untapped that any person, with training, can do.

    In the end, since these are completely different universes, it's going to boil down to a matter of personal opinion unless Toriyama and DC comics come up with something, which seems unlikely. For me, I do believe Superman can definitely be hurt by ki, maybe not killed, but like magic, it's a supernatural foreign effect on his body that he isn't prepared to deal with. Who knows, for all we know, Superman is so weak he almost dies in the beginning but can adapt to it, like the Borg! You just don't know.

    @flashback0180:

    Where is this coming from? DBZ?

    Either way, the answer is simple. Superman can withstand chi quite well.

    After all chi isn't magic, has you well know. Chi/Ki is a natural energy that's produced when a person can control its body energy and manifest it in a controlled and deliberate way.

    Magic involves either the ability to reach unnatural states of mind and still being aware of what's happening around the individual and using that higher state of mind to manipulate the world around it. That or some natural born connection to those different planes of existence and the ability to use the body has a conduct to the energies of those planes.

    So chi/ki Superman can handle like any natural force, but magic is another matter altogether.

    Chi/ki is spiritual energy within living beings that is drawn upon from within oneself.

    Yes Superman can be affected and would be vulnerable to it.

    Superman and other Kryptonians are invulnerable to stuff only on earth (Like earth guns and earth swords, anything above that level can kill them like a nuke). If it is unearthly like Superman can be affected by it most likely.

    @ariesxmasters: Chi isn't considered supernatural. It's exotic, sure, but it's considered to be a natural power that is simply untapped by most. Sort of like chakras.

    @ariesxmasters: seriously though. From past comments youve made, its clear you dont read comics. So, my question is, why dont you just not talk about things you dont know about? Like, why dont you instead just say that you dont know. At the very least, preface your comments by saying "I dont know, but I think that maybe..."

    What do you mean I don't read Comics? Are you stupid? I download all the Wednesday releases from Marvel and DC Comics which is why all my Comics are digital, and I have 100+ gigabytes worth of Digital Comics on this computer, so yes I read Comics. Also tell me what part of my statement is wrong.

    I sure cant tell based on your past comments and the one you made on this thread. You said:

    Superman and other Kryptonians are invulnerable to stuff only on earth (Like earth guns and earth swords, anything above that level can kill them like a nuke). If it is unearthly like Superman can be affected by it most likely.

    You asked what about your statement is wrong. Ive underlined those parts.

    You said Kryptonians are only invulnerable to things only on earth. that statement alone shows ignorance on this subject. Kryptonians are invulnerable in Venus, space, mars, too. among other places

    You said anything above a sword or a gun can kill them. Ridiculous.

    You said a nuke can kill them. Facepalm. Superman has tanked nukes before..SMH.

    You said if its not from earth it can most likely affect Kryptonians..Again facepalm. Whether something is from earth or not has no bearing on whether it would hurt Superman or not.

    You have over 100 gigs worth of comics...right. I guess none of them happen to be books about kryptonians because anybody with the most basic of knowledge on superman would know more than youve displayed.

    1. it doesnt say anwywhere that he almost died.

    2. he already took a nuke while severely weakened and didnt die.

    3. thats Powergirl from earth 2 no freaking Supergirl.

    4. Again, You said Kryptonians are only invulnerable to things only on earth. that statement alone shows ignorance on this subject. Kryptonians are invulnerable in Venus, space, mars, too. among other places. Hence why even the Powergirl you showed has been fighting in space. But you should know that since you read the comics, right?

    6. You said if its not from earth it can most likely affect Kryptonians..Again facepalm. Whether something is from earth or not has no bearing on whether it would hurt Superman or not.

    These things are basic knowledge.

    That statement means he almost died lol.

    Ignorance? You see the page where Powergirl even says it. Uhhh this is still a work of fiction, genius, if Superman, Powergirl, Batman, Green Lantern, Daredevil, Spider-man, Hawkeye or any other fictional character need to fight in space for the story or writer they will. . . I mean Comics are made for entertainment not realism no one else besides maybe CV and AV give a crap about realism. There is a guy name Superman from the planet Krypton who can fly and shoot lasers out his eyes and pick up cars easily, that doesn't sound like realism to me.

    You're pushing away what is right in front of your face which is kind of funny tbh. There is fanboy and then there is you. Personally I don't give 1 cent about trying to make any character look stronger or weaker than they already are I see whats on the page and take it for what it is.

    It is kind of tough to keep up with every single characters name and details when you have and read as many Comics as I do, as you can see I have 3,801 files of just straight Digital Comics from all these companies.

    And then ive mentioned times theyve been outside of earth and been just fine since being on earth doesnt matter.

    your comments are made up and out of nowhere. the origin of weapons does not matter.

    ive countered all of your ridiculously vapid comments with facts.

    You cant offer a dense argument like "powergirl is only invulnerable on earth" and then get countered by me by saying that shes been in outter space battling just fine, by saying something so vapid as "oh well, its comics," NO. you just got countered and the conversation is over.

    You know, I always wondered what would happen if he could use ki like a DB character. Would it make him stronger, faster, and tougher? Or would it simply give him a extra power source for his powers? Would the aura field make him resistant to kryptonite? Could he combine solar energy with it to create Super Heat Vision? The possibilities are almost endless.

    ive countered all of your ridiculously vapid comments with facts.

    You cant offer a dense argument like "powergirl is only invulnerable on earth" and then get countered by me by saying that shes been in outter space battling just fine, by saying something so vapid as "oh well, its comics," NO. you just got countered and the conversation is over.

    Think things through better next time.

    me proving they are invulnerable in space just like earth = easily countered your silly comment about kryptonians only being invulnerable on earth

    writer acknowledges that superman tanks nukes by the feat of him doing it and by saying it on twitter IIRC

    LOL this is too easy.

    You're pushing away what is right in front of your face which is kind of funny tbh. There is fanboy and then there is you. Personally I don't give 1 cent about trying to make any character look stronger or weaker than they already are I see whats on the page and take it for what it is.

    ROFLMAO. You cant be serious. LMAO.

    I already told you hes tanked a nuke while severely weakened.

    Uhhm powergirl said about Kryptonians being invulnerable to almost anything earthly like. (The writer)

    Superman is the one who said he barely made it out before the nuke. (The Writer)

    Haha and you actually take feats as bible truth which is pretty funny.

    Feats are so unreliable and like the worst way to measure any characters capabilities, they contradict each other all the time as you saw. You probably still believe in santa claws

    that anything above a sword and a gun can kill them (LMAO)

    and that if a weapon is not made on earth it automatically can hurt kryptonians (LOL)

    this is his exact comment:

    Superman and other Kryptonians are invulnerable to stuff only on earth (Like earth guns and earth swords, anything above that level can kill them like a nuke). If it is unearthly like Superman can be affected by it most likely.

    okay but what about the times they have flown off planet...and got in fights there?

    He's flown to pluto...off planet, the cold alone would have killed him if he didn't have his power.

    ahh yes logical. he loses his invulnerability but still has his other powers.

    so if he is off the planet and a rock hits him in the head it will hurt him, because its not a earth rock :)

    yup. despite the fact that he's been shot ranagarian blasters without flinching and despite the fact that when he fights in space and other planets the yellow sun rays get to him more abundantly which further powers him....lol

    but yea he loses his invulnerability if he's off planet....lol

    @sodamyat: Can't forget he himself stated without his invulnerability his super strength is meaningless in futures end where his powers got scattered.


    Got got super strength punched a brick wall and mangled his arm.



    enough sarcasm.


    If there is enough power output he can be harmed, that's just how it is. A nuke has enough power to put him down, but every time he's been nuked he's survived so pft whatever.

    If people want to pay attention to one scan that they interpreted their own way then that's on them lol.

    No. Chi/ki/chakra is NATURAL life force that every living thing theoretically possesses. Magic is unnatural energy used to bend the rules of reality. It is not the same, many forms of media have a distinct line between the two even DBZ (LOL at the ppl wishing for this).

    I did some research on the subject mater for a story I am writing and this is my answer.

    Ki/chi is the same thing. One is Korean and the other Japanese.

    The basics of Ki or chi both being the same thing is. They are the energy of life itself. All people have the ability to use Ki or chi call it what you will. The energy of life.

    So you see Goku pick up a dead bird in one of the movies and hold it in his hands and when he opens them the bird flies away.

    The power to empower , the power to harness the power of life itself as a weapon or as a healing factor.

    Thus you see evil has a dark energy and good has a blueish energy or even gold depending on what you wish to get done with it. Healing is in most cases gold color to show purity.

    One of my main characters uses Ki , I made a mistake and put chi as well but i did not want to go back and fix it not a big mistake.

    So would the power of Ki hurt Superman , and the best answer would be it is just energy like anything else , he is filled with such energy , sunlight is just another form of Chi or Ki however you wish to say it.

    Remember when he was dying and he used the energy from the sunflower.

    Well that is your answer , Superman uses Ki himself just not the same way as you expect.

    @sodamyat:

    Why waste time trying to teach logical things to someone that doesn't understand logic.

    Two things are clear, he was either trying to mess with someone or (and this is more likely) he doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about.

    Talking to a wall, is talking to wall. The wall will not learn anything from you. So save your brainpower (and pacience) for those you can have a logical, meaningful, enlightning, debate.

    Chi isn't magic. Chi is metaphysical energy inside the human body.

    Chi in DC is regarded as Earth energy. Which Lex Luther and the Question theorized could harm Superman, a solar being.

    There are many things wrong with their assumption. Such as the fact that he isn't a being FROM the sun.

    lmao superman from the sun and earth energy hurting him is just really funny.

    Chi is the force of life itself not earth energy wow... but you could say that the very earth is a battery of chi as wold be the sun and all things in existence.

    Chi is a life source energy that can be used defensively and offensively. So yes Superman should be affected by it no matter what.

    False. You are talking about the 2005 arc titled the Question? Where Lex Luther builds a machine to gather chi energy and use it to kill Superman?


    You should seriously read the comic buddy. Superman is not weak against Chi itself. Superman in that comic actually tanked a chi blast like nothing happened.

    Also, the plot to kill Superman using the Chi wasn't about building up massive Chi energy to blast at him. The point of gathering the Chi energy was to give it to a magic user called a Psychopomp who could compel Supermans soul itself with that power to go to eternal torment. The only reason why this was possible was because Superman at one point in time died already. Superman vs Doomsday.

    Psychopomp is a spiritual guide to the next world. They are known in history has angels, demons, deities, or a person that walks between both worlds. Like the Question or Phantom Stranger for example.

    Chi is not special in DC comics. Characters like Zantanna, Constantine, ect all use chi to preform magic. The Chi itself does not harm Superman. Even Superman himself has chi energy in him. A Lifeforce energy. Only Supernatural energy can harm Superman. Magic!

    Lex Luthers plot with the science spire was to gather all the chi energy and let Psychopomp command Supermans soul out of him and send him to a living hell where he would suffer torment for eternity. That was the plot. And it failed thanks to the Question who killed the Psychopomp before it he could even use it.

    Chi in the dc universe and DBZ are different so I have no doubt that it would have a problem affecting Superman.

    Yes Superman can be affected and would be vulnerable to it.

    Superman and other Kryptonians are invulnerable to stuff only on earth (Like earth guns and earth swords, anything above that level can kill them like a nuke). If it is unearthly like Superman can be affected by it most likely.
