Raúl VonKleiseng (Earth-M8)

Origin
Raúl is the eldest son, and heir apparent, of a multi-billion tech empire, currently headed up by his fauther Vladimir VonKleiseng. He is a former commander, in what is considered the deadliest military force on earth, of the Russian Spetsnaz. Raúl was born into an elite life and thus has always had to maintain a certain appearance. He was disciplined early on to be tough, dedicated, and devoted to his family, country, and responsiblities. Raúl grew up in something similar to solitary confinement, where his only friends were the other elite childrent that he had to socialize with for appeareance. He became dedicated to his studies, graduating primary school around the age of 12 and obtaining his last degree by 21; he was a prodigy. However, Raúl would abandon the academic life to join the Russian military and served proudly amongst his comrades, something that garnered the ire of both of his parents. He was originally supposed to serve in a non-combat role, designing high-tech gear and devices for the military, but primarily holding a supervisory role; all in all it was just supposed to help make his family brand look even better. However, Raúl enjoyed his time in service and decided to give the military even more of his life, much to the dismay of his mother especially.

Raúl's service eventually caught up with him and his batallion, as they were caught off guard and gunned down on a mission on August 16, in the Northern African country of J'lande that resulted in the death of every member in the squadron; an event that would become an international scandal and lead to a power shift in the Russian government. Raúl would be one of the casualties, dying on the battlefield alongside his brothers, with a smile on his face. However, this was not to be his fate as he rose from the grave, bringing mystical abilities with him when he did.undefined

Becoming Magnus
Raúl woke up from the ashes and looked around at his dead comrades. He was in a state beyond anger and rage and it was with these intense emotions that he took to the sky and a with beams of energy from his hands, he shot down every single fighter jet in the sky and rained down energy blast unto his enemies, forcing them to retreat, ultimately the attack would be blamed on the terrorist group known as The Collective. Afterwards, he took off and landed in a small Russian village. It was here that he tried to collect himself and his thoughts but his anger and fury were relentless. He took a hiatus for several days, heading out of country and to Germany. He was drinking nonstop, and it was there in a bar that the TV flashed and his father appeared on a podium. Vladimir announced that he was taking over and replacing the current government, and that he would essentially be waging war on the U.S. for their transgressions which resulted in the death of their special forces. Raúl knew his father had an ego and that he should never be in this type of position of power, so he headed home. Arriving in Moscow, Raúl headed towards the central location of government, but was stopped by soldiers before showing identification and being let inside. His father was there to greet his son, hugging him and rejoicing in his son's survival. Raúl engaged in a back and forth with his father, trying to persuade him to abandon his mission of seeking a war with the Americans, however Vladimir's mind was made up. Raúl knew it was pointless now to argue with him so he headed out and disappeared into the night to resume his drinking.

Things truly changed on November 10th, the Russian forces and American forces were both in Lebanon and they were encroaching on each other's operating space. Raúl knew from his extensive military background that this meant an inevitable meeting was soon going to take place, and knowing his father, there would be blood which meant that a war was coming. He headed to his company and went into the prototype area, he saw the exoskeleton suits that were being developed and he took one, stripping it down a bit before heading out. He deleted the footage of his being there and headed home to prepare, he wanted to be there for when the two sides met. November 14th came and Raúl knew exactly what he had to do, putting on the suit as every Russian News channel played out the event. Once he was finally suited up, Raúl headed for takeoff, not before seeing that there were two others already there as well. Raúl descended upon the two beings present and inquired about their being here. Apparently all three of them had the same idea and the same end-goal, shut this shit down before it gets out of hand. Raúl caught their names, Judgment and Vortex, before introducing himself as, Magnus.

Five for the Future
Magnus, Vortex and Judgment were quickly joined by two others, Velocity, and W.M.D. These five men would be the only thing standing between the earth and doomsday, in the most literal sense possibly. Magnus watched as Judgment became the first to address the forces using a simple gesture, however the opposition weren't open to listening as they opened fire on the group. Thus, the fight had officially begun, with Velocity quickly taking off to stop the bullets that were headed their way. Magnus flew into the sky as tanks fired and he quickly destroyed the ammunition. He witnessed what the others were capable of and he was quite impressed, as he saw speed, robotics, energy and whatever the hell it was that Vortex could do; whatever it was, it was quite possibly the coolest thing he had ever seen. He took it all in before returning to the fight. Vortex had taken out American jets, yet Russian fighters were coming in from a distance and he could hear them. Magnus took off in that direction and shot the jets out the sky with the pilots ejecting. He headed back into the fray and took on bullets from the Russian military, it was quite odd for him to be at war with the same force that he had proudly served, but he knew this was for a much greater good. Magnus took all forms of assault and abuse as he destroyed multiple weapons.

Grenades were sent flying his way, but he shrugged the damage off and pushed back. Some of the army ran towards him and fired in his direction, in fact he was almost hit by ammunition from a bazooka but that was thrown off course by Velocity. Magnus looked at what he assumed to be a speedster and nodded in gratitude but he knew very well that he could take the impact, although it didn't mean that he necessarily had to. The speedster quickly removed the weapons from play like he had done earlier and Magnus eyes proceeded to light up as he shot red energy beams into the sky which then came raining down on the battlefield. A tank tried to fire in his direction but the canon arm was ripped from the tank by Judgment, who then went on to grab the machine and fly it into the sky, spinning it around like a toy and throwing it into another tank. Magnus noted how Judgment had held back from envoking too much force in the throw as that could have easily blown both tanks up, killing all within either. The battle waged on as the five were more than holding their own against the opposition, however things would go on to change a bit as a strong bolt of lightning fell to the earth, seemingly colliding with Vortex's force-field.

Emergence of the Collective: Magnus vs Theron
The lightning bolt had distracted every force on the battlefield, making way for a surprise assault from new threats. Magnus looked at the commotion that was taking place between Judgment and another being as well as Vortex and some silver haired guy, before being confronted by a shirtless white-haired male with a large tattoo like marking that ran across his chest and arms. Magnus noticed this was the same guy that got hit by the lightning bolt earlier. He chuckled a bit to himself before addressing the individual and noting how he thought he was dealt with. The male commented on how the being from earlier wasn't him but a soul disguised as him, as he wouldn't be that easy to get rid of. He then introduced himself as Theron, Master of the Dead, Lord Overseer of Souls. Magnus simply introduced himself as Magnus, "the guy who's more than likely about to kick your ass". Theron laughed loudly before his hands lit green and he stopped hovering in the air, stepping on the ground, which started to decay underneath his feet. Magnus looked at the area around Theron and flew above him. Theron told Magnus that this was just a side-effect of one of the souls currently under his control. Theron joined Magnus, his eyes lit red and soon he flew straight into Magnus, whose own eyes also lit red as he punched into the back of Theron. The two danced in the air, with Theron firing blasts in multiple directions, souls screaming and flowing out of them. Magnus managed to dodge them but the souls would head in the direction of any corpse they could find. Soon, five fallen soldiers emerged and flew into the air, surrounding Magnus before they begin to fly into him.

Magnus blasted each of them, but they were very durable as they kept coming back. Magnus had had enough and unleashed fury upon them, hellfire emerging from his fists, he started punching the literal souls out of the corpses, before eventually destroying them altogether. Magnus eyed Theron down who seemed somewhat pleased with the display of power shown by his opponent. Theron told Magnus how he had sensed his arrival, the end of days, the destroyer of everything, the living embodiment of the apocalypse itself. Theron told Magnus that he was here to subdue and eliminate him before the end of everything approached. Theron quickly unleashed a strong energy blast which sent Magnus flying into a large distant mountain. Theron then flew straight into Magnus and began pounding him into the ground, before grabbing his shirt and punching him straight through the air and into the moon. Theron flew right at him on the moon, his left foot landing on the chest of Magnus. Magnus, enraged, grabbed the foot and began slamming Theron on the moon repeatedly, shaking the moon as he did so, before throwing him aside. Magnus walked towards his enemy, his voice was deep and his eyes had energy flowing from them, he remarked how he would be the end of days for Theron and whoever stood by him, how he would eradicate Theron's existence. The area around them lit up and Theron looked up to see huge solar flares flying from the sun and landing unto the moon. The energy destroyed the moon as Magnus flew off, looking to see just how strong this Theron character was.

Theron emerged from the dust and summoned champions from the grave, fallen heroes rose up and headed right for Magnus. He surrounded himself in an apocalyptic aura and with a wave of his hand, he sent them all flying back through the solar system. Magnus opened black holes to suck them inside, combining the holes and creating a super black hole. Theron emerged behind Magnus, grabbing him as the two landed on Mars. Magnus broke free of Theron, and knocked him into the dirt. The earth beneath them started shaking, and magma began to flow from the ground while volcanoes rose. Behind Magnus, solar flares could be seen on the horizon. Theron took a deep breath as a blue light overtook his body, he began absorbing energies from a spiritual realm. He formed a large scythe and headed straight for Magnus, however, not before the solar flares touched down on mars and the volcanoes erupting, breaking the planet apart, destroying it altogether eventually. Theron survived the explosion and hovered in front of Magnus, but something was different. He told Magnus how he was going to purge the universe of him and how by destroying both the moon and Mars, Magnus had now allowed him to absorb the essence that composed the two celestial bodies; something he could have done on his own but he refused to end worlds to do so. Theron unleashed a powerful wave which sent Magnus flying through the solar system and crashing through planets. Magnus got up, but was hit with another powerful wave which sent him even further through the solar system. Theron was going in for yet a third strike, however Magnus formed a red and black orb in his hands which expanded into a circle that Magnus tore apart, and that circle unleashed a tsunami of energy towards Theron. The energy trapped Theron inside and seemingly ripped his being apart whilst also destroying two nearby planets. Afterwards, Magnus allowed himself to cool down before heading back to earth.

The Collective: Consequences
Magnus flew back to earth at light speeds and crashed down back to the spot where the conflict had started. There, he approached the other four before Judgment suggested they head to his research facility, which Vortex opened a portal to. The entire time, Magnus is replaying the events in his head, his battle with Theron was intense and destructive. Theron said he was the impending apocalypse and that he, Theron, was here to purge the universe of him. None of it made sense to Magnus, who just couldn't lose the words spoken by his adversary just moments earlier. Judgment took them into the main room where news stations across the world were describing the fiasco that was the five of them and their fights. The world had declared these men to be detrimental to humanity, and politicians suggested dire consequences for their actions out there today. Magnus laughed loudly, before his eyes lit up, revealing to be quite angered. He went on about how these people didn't give a damn about what the five of them just did, they only saw monsters, something to be afraid of. He listened as Velocity mentioned how humans didn't care about what damage they do to one another, not if they have a scapegoat to blame it all on. Magnus nodded his head in agreement as he paced around a bit. The memories were coming back, he was gunned down alongside his squad and was killed in battle, yet here he was living and breathing all the same. He looked at himself and he couldn't believe it, he had just gone to war with some crazy powerful being and he was just freshly resurrected. The entire day seemed like a dream, this all seemed so surreal, he had to just take a moment to think about it, but a las the moment didn't last as Judgment openly pondered how their adversaries all got together.

Magnus started thinking about it as well, they seemed so well prepared for the conflict and then he went back to what Theron had said about being there to purge the universe of him. The situation didn't make any sense, how could those five beings have all met and been there, ready to take on the five of them. Judgment asked each of them to describe the events that transpired from each of their battles. He listened as Vortex kicked it off and told the story of his battle with the dragon known as Cosmic, and how he battled him across dimensions. It was crazy to listen to, it was crazy to think about just how powerful their opponents were, and just how powerful each of them were. Once Vortex had finished the tale of his encounter, Magnus started speaking of his own fight against Theron. He told them of Theron seemed to be looking for him in particular and how he wielded command over the sun as well as disastrous forces of the world that he was on, Mars. The four men stared in amazement, as Magnus debated on whether to tell them about Theron's whole apocalypse comment. He decided to leave it out and just ended on the note of how he was able to defeat Theron by unleashing a blast that tore the very fabric of the space around him apart as well as everything in its path, stopping only once it had collided with Theron and tore him apart as well. Judgment asked Magnus if he thought Theron was dead, if he had successfully killed him. Magnus paused, thinking about the situation in full before responding, he told them that he honestly wasn't sure if Theron survived that or if it killed him completely; just that he found it hard to believe that he would die that easily.

The Calm before the Storm
After much deliberation, the five men decided it best to conceal their identities and activities from the world, basically trying to wait for this to blow over. The world leaders wanted heads, and the five of theirs looked ripe for the taking. Vortex immediately inquired about how exactly they would hide their identities, or the fact that none of them knew who one another were anyway. WMD and Judgment thought that perhaps it was best that things remained that way for the time being. There was no reason for them revealing themselves to one another, at least not at the current moment. Judgment stated he’d investigate what Zeus had told Velocity and see if there were any myths or records tied to some fabled “god-killer”. Meanwhile, WMD gave them all a homing beacon/communication device that would allow all of them to keep in touch when needed. After that, Vortex opened a portal to New York City, where all but Judgment would enter to continue their previous lives, but not before Velocity gave the group the moniker of “Overseers”, some type of protector of earth group. Although Magnus wasn’t too interested in playing superheroes, he essentially shrugged it off thinking it should be rare that they would all be needed often.

Landing in New York City, Raúl watched as the others went their separate ways. He walked down the street, going over the events in his mind. He was unsettled by that Theron character, but those thoughts had to wait as a payphone next to him began to ring. He walked towards it and answered, receiving his father on the other end. His father was inquiring to his whereabouts, trying to figure out why he was in New York and wanting to talk about the events surrounding his son’s survival of his squad’s massacre. Raúl reminded his father not to go into detail about anything while talking over the American phonelines. His father went on to brag about how he could buy the whole American political system if he wanted, but he stopped and ended the conversation telling his son to remain where he was, and a car would be there to take him to the company’s jet. So, he waited, taking in the surrounding scenery but it all ended in seconds as three blacked out SUVs pulled up. He entered the middle one, and they drove off to a private hangar.

He received a call on the phone inside the vehicle, it was his sister Ana. She wanted to check in on her big brother, as the two were very close. She was waiting for him to return home so that they could go out like they used to. He assured her that he would be home soon, and sure enough he was. Once back in Moscow, he had to first meet with his father. Vladimir VonKleiseng was an intimidating individual for sure, and that was before he was president. He used to just be number 4 on the world’s wealthiest list, now he’s number 4 while also controlling one of the most dangerous superpowers on earth as well as a company ahead of its time. Vladimir met with his son to inform him of some changes around VonKleiseng CyberX Enterprises, primarily that he would be stepping down as CEO effective immediately and has named his successor. Raúl waited to hear the name of some sycophant that he cared nothing for. Perhaps his Uncle Dmitri or maybe his younger brother Vadim?

But to his surprise, his father said he would be his successor. He went on to say that Vadim was in position to be the next in line as he already serves as CFO, but Raúl’s heroic come from the dead story just resonates with people so it was in the family’s best interest that Raúl take over as CEO. Raúl laughed at the idea, until he realized that his father was serious. Then Raúl’s tone changed to a definite “No.” He wanted nothing to do with any of this, but his father told him how this wasn’t exactly up for debate and that he will serve in this capacity or else. Raúl said or else what? His father pointed back to how no one knows how his son survived the onslaught, himself included. And he wasn’t going to pry unless Raúl didn’t play ball. So, he finally agreed but not without conditions, such as his father having no control over his decisions as CEO and don’t even think to use his brother or anyone else as a spy or he walks, and you can tell whoever whatever the fuck you want.

Vladimir agreed to the terms and with that, Raúl was voted unanimously as the next CEO by the board. He served in the role for a few months, making changes here and there and diverting resources to areas that he felt needed to be focused on. Other than some minor grumbling from his brother, those months were quiet but things changed when he got the ping of a location to meet the others at.

From the Ashes rise The Overseers

In the hopes of ridding the world of evil, Pandora tried to have members of the Justice League open her box for her, believing that their virtuousness would prevent the calamity that occurred when she opened it.[30] However, this backfired, and the active Justice Leagues took sides, fighting over the "correct" method to open the box.[31]

While trying to understand the escalating tension of opening the box, Superman and Wonder Woman were ambushed by Dr. Light and, during their fight, Superman accidentally killed Light with his heat vision.[32] Superman asked to be locked away for his outburst but started getting sick in captivity.[33] Upon investigating further, Firestorm, the Atom, and Element Woman discovered that there was Kryptonite in Superman's nervous system, which caused him to attack Dr. Light unintentionally.[34] However, before they could save him, the Crime Syndicate came to Earth from their world and trapped the Justice League inside the Firestorm Matrix.

After being freed by Lex Luthor and his group of rebellious criminals, Superman was eventually saved by Luthor, who was volunteered to remove the Kryptonite from his brain.[35]

Doomed
SuperDoomAfter discovering Doomsday wrecking havoc and harboring a dangerous toxin within his body, Superman ripped the beast in half and used his super-breath to inhale the toxin to stop it from spreading.[36] After recovering, Superman realized that he was slowly turning into a Doomsday-like creature.[37] Superman's girlfriend, Wonder Woman tried to help him, but the transformation was becoming stronger[38] and Superman had no choice but to turn himself to the authorities.[39] Superman was locked in a special facility but he soon was needed by the Teen Titans to defeat an enemy, which he eliminated ruthlessly.[40]

The military declared Superman an enemy of the state and they sent Metallo and Atomic Skull to eliminate him. Steel tried to help Superman fight the enemies, but, after a suicide attack with kryptonite by Metallo, Superman became weak and his transformation into "SuperDoom" was accelerated.[41] Wonder Woman then took Clark to outer space where he could escape into its depths until they found a way to save him.[42]

While in space, SuperDoom tried to help an alien colony but lost control and attacked their leader.[43] He was then warned about an incoming invasion of Earth by Braniac's forces and he confronted its commander, a cyborg with Superman's appearance.[44] After a brief fight between them, SuperDoom returned to Earth and joined the Justice League to fight Braniac's forces and after their victory, the Justice League remove the kryptonite from Earth's atmosphere, making Superman temporarily change back to normal.[45] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-45">[46]

When Brainiac's forces returned with reinforcements, Superman attempted to turn back into SuperDoom to fight them. Unfortunately, Superman lost control of his body completely to the virus.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-46">[47] Once defeating Brainiac, Lois Lane helped Superman steal Braniac's powers and finally cure Superman of the Doomsday virus. Once free, the hero captured Braniac and took him inside a black hole,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-47">[48] returning back to Earth sixty days later.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-48">[49] Once back, he was reunited with Wonder Woman, and the two resumed their relationship.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-49">[50]

Men of Tomorrow
Superman and UlyssesDuring an alien attack on Metropolis, Superman was assisted by a stranger called Ulysses and together they defeated Klerik, one of the alien soldiers. Superman then learned that Ulysses believed himself to be the last survivor of Earth.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-50">[51] With Superman's help, Ulysses found the truth about his past,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-51">[52] but they were soon confronted by "The Machinist", a man responsible for creating destructive robots.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-52">[53] The criminal managed to escape and shortly afterwards, Ulysses revealed his plan of taking millions of people to his home planet, "The Great World" in order to save mankind from what he believed was Earth's doom.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-53">[54] This lead to a confrontation between Superman and Ulysses, with the latter winning and taking Superman prisoner.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-54">[55]

On their way to Ulysses' home planet, there was another confrontation between Superman and Ulysses<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-55">[56] and the fight was brought to Metropolis, where Superman unleashed a new power he didn't know he had: a super flare of solar energy, beating Ulysses for good. Unfortunately, the solar flare drained his powers for a day, leaving him as a normal human until they slowly began to come back.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-56">[57]

Final Days of Superman
After his last fight with Vandal Savage in his depowered state, the events of the Darkseid War, and his fight with the Kryptonian god Rao, Superman learned that he was dying and asked for Batman's help to find him a successor.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-57">[58] As part of his legacy, Superman told the whole truth to Lois Lane and asked her to publish everything in the Daily Planet in order to have his history and identity revealed to the world before his death.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-58">[59] Superman told the truth to Diana, and they shared a moment before they were needed back in Metropolis, where the "Energy Superman" they had caught days earlier had escaped Stryker Island and was destroying everything.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-59">[60]

Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman together tried to stop the Energy Superman and, while doing so, were assisted by the mysterious "Black Superman", who chose to remain unidentified for the time being. Superman took the Energy Superman to space, where he used his solar flare power to finish the threat and the Energy Superman evaporated in the cosmos. Superman's body fell down to Earth and as he was surrounded by his friends, he asked the "Black Superman" to take his mantle and become the New Superman of Earth. After this, Superman's body died and turned to ashes.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-60">[61]

Superman Reborn
In order to escape Mister Oz, Mr. Mxyzptlk brainwashsed himself into thinking he was Clark Kent.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-61">[62] He harrassed the New Earth Superman and when he was found out, kidnapped Jon Kent and made his parents forget about him. Trapping all of them inside the Fifth Dimension, Mxyzptlk revealed that both the New Earth and Prime Earth Supermen were actually two halves of the true, complete Superman, who was split into two separate people during the Flashpoint incident. The same was true for Lois.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-62">[63] Out of love for Jon, Clark and Lois merged with the essences of the other two and each became single, complete Prime Earth version; fixing their conflicting histories and bringing the world back to normal.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-63">[64]

Powers
This umbrella ability includes the following: This also confers:
 * Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
 * Solar Energy Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Superman's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. His biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and his bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
 * Heat Vision: Superman can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. He can vary the heat and area affected.
 * Super-Hearing: Superman's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, he can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.
 * Enhanced Vision Superman's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
 * Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Superman can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. He can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, he can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows him to see the aura generated by living thing.
 * Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
 * X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Superman's can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. He can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
 * Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
 * Infrared Vision: Superman's can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
 * Flight: Superman is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
 * Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of his dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Superman is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, his extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
 * Superhuman Stamina: Superman is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on his body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
 * Superhuman Strength: Superman's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of his musculature. His strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables him to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
 * Superhuman Speed: Superman is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to his perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
 * Superhuman Agility
 * Superhuman Reflexes
 * Super-Breath: Superman is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from his lungs. He can chill the air as it leaves his lungs to freeze targets. He can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into his lungs.

Abilities

 * Intimidation
 * Journalism

Weaknesses

 * Kryptonian Physiology: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Superman possesses the same potential weaknesses as an average Kryptonian. These include:
 * Vulnerability to Kryptonite
 * Vulnerability to Magic
