Superman's power is not infinite.

"when i said superman does not control the source of his power, this is a big thing. and you help conform that. now let me explain. a green lantern can literally carry there ring charger everywhere they go. they have infinite supple of power in any dimension they go. because this charge is link to the mean source of there power. " Superman can literally absorb energy from any star in any dimension, except for red stars. The Green Lanterns often don't carry their lanterns with them, because they are forced to keep their lantern hidden and safe. Superman literally just has to be within a few lightyears of a star in order to absorb energy from them. He arguably has more access to the stars than many Lanterns have to their lanterns. "Barry Allen was able to replicate the effect of the lighting that give him has power. he and batmen did this. so he knows that whenever he lose his power he can generate what give him his power. which is getting hit by a lighting. " Do you mean like the storyline from the Flash Point Paradox? Here it is: . Number one, I didn't realize that was DC Canon. Number 2, that is not generating anything. They don't control or generate the lightning, they only harness it, and Barry Allen "ABSORBS" it. This is no different from Superman absorbing solar energy. Literally the only difference is that Superman's body is capable of absorbing energy without needing Batman to rig up a science experiment. "and finally you mention Peter Parker. yes he did not control the spider that bit him. but he knows the spider that bit him. if he was to lose his powers its reasonable to say he can such for this spider again. these hero's have a means to regain control over their source of power. superman's power is being generated by an external factor. meaning even tho he rely on this, any other hero can manipulate it from his body. a radiation is not that hard to control, as we human have found many ways to control this unique property from the sun. " You have a very clear double standard here. The radioactive spider is far more of an external factor than the stars. Even though Superman relies on an external factor, it is arguably the most abundant external source in the universe. If Spiderman loses his powers, then Peter Parker is forced to try and find one, very specific, scientifically altered spider, and get that spider to bite him. If Superman loses his powers, then literally all he has to do is wait 24 hours and spend some time simply in the vicinity of a star. But I'm curious what you mean by "any other hero can manipulate it from his body. " We cannot control the stars; we can barely control radiation. "It takes Superman the next 24 hours to regain enough solar energy to use his powers again. His power relies on the sun, but he doesn't have to be actually in the sun in order to gain solar energy. Think of it as laying on the beach, but instead of getting more tan, Superman gets stronger. " "this is why i said having control of your power source is very important. And this is also one major reason why superman CANNOT have infinite power. i get that he does not have be inside the sun to gain solar energy. but when he is not inside of the sun, the amount of solar energy he gets is very limited. also when he is engage in battle he use more solar energy, as his body is fighting to recharge it is also using more energy then it can recharge. " This isn't really as much of an issue as you seem to think it is. Superman has only lived inside of the sun on a few rare occasions. Most of his power is absorbed just by being on Earth, in close proximity to our yellow sun. He's only used the solar flare a couple of times, and heat vision is the power that drains his energy quickest. But in most cases, he can absorb energy at roughly the same rate he expends it. The only times where this is not the case are when he is exposed to kryptonite or other specific circumstances. "he Have infinite amount of solar energy AVAILABLE to use. BUT HE CAN'T GATHER THAT INFINITE ENERGY TO STORE INSIDE OF HIM. " Superman doesn't need to gather infinite energy inside of him. He is capable of simultaneously fighting and absorbing solar energy. If he has access to an infinite power source, then he has infinite power. The official comic vine forum explicitly says that "his power has no limits. " . http://www.comicvine.com... Furthermore, the official Superman website at . http://www.dccomics.com... says that "Superman is as strong as he needs to be. " "THE SOLAR ENERGY IS INFINITE EXTERNALLY NOT INSIDE OF HIM. like we humans have infinite amount of vitamin D available to us from the sun. but we can only tape in to what our body is available to take in. " Superman can absorb and expend solar energy at an instantaneous rate. It's not like he has to wait for his system to digest solar energy. His body channels solar energy like a direct current. "You claim that superman works as a solar battery, so I will continue that metaphor. Superman is a solar battery; a rechargeable battery that has no maximum charge limit, and will absorb as much energy as you can generate. " "OK so his body has no maximum charge limit. but that is only because in order to find out his max limit we will have to Waite a infinite amount of years. remember his body does not charge that fast. " You seem to not understand what you are arguing. You agree that he has no maximum charge, and then try to suggest that he does. And then you suggest that his charging rate is slow, but as I said, his energy absorption rate is instantaneous. It's not like he must stop whatever he is doing to recharge. He can live, fight, and fly while simultaneously absorbing energy. "and the only way he can reach his maximum limit is by having a long nap inside the sun for infinite amount of years. " You already agreed that he has no charge limit, so this point has no validity. "Because the second he leave that sun, his power will start to slowly drain, since his body does not hold the charge in him forever. " Again, he doesn't need to be inside of a star to absorb that energy. His power will not start draining as soon as he leaves the star. In order for you to drain Superman's solar energy, he would have to be surrounded by total darkness, and out of reach of any star whatsoever. "Those generators are an infinite source of energy. Since these infinite generators are the source of Superman's power, we can conclude that the source of Superman's power is infinite" "the Generator are an infinite source of energy, yes. but superman does not have this source of energy inside of him yet. Remember he can only use the SOLAR ENERGY INSIDE OF HIM. these solar energy are indeed infinite and just all around, but they are only useful to superman after his body convert it for his benefit. " Again, his absorption rate is instantaneous. "so his powers may be infinite. " WRONG THE SOURCE OF HIS POWER IS INFINITE, BUT THE POWER CONTAIN INSIDE OF SUPERMAN HAVE TO BE GAIN THEN CONVERTED BEFORE USE. " "In fact, if you never expose Superman to darkness or kryptonite, his powers explicitly would be infinite. " "WRONG AGAIN. remember his body does not hold charge forever. meaning for every second his body convert solar energy inside of him, it is depleting over time. " Not true. The only time his power is depleting is when exposed to kryptonite, a red star, or total darkness. Your entire argument is based on your incorrect assumptions about the way Superman's power works. I responded to your arguments, and you then responded with double standards, misconceptions, and zero sources. I would have preferred that this be a 5 round debate, so that we could continue our discussion, but I will accept whatever the voters decide. I hope this debate has been fun and entertaining.
