    Super Sentai Respect Thread. (Feats and discussion)

    I remember seeing a screencap with subtitles from an older Super Sentai series, of a villain saying that their organization 'has conquered all the dimensions of the multiverse' (or something to that effect). Would you happen to know what I'm talking about? (Sorry if this is too vague).

    What I was asking is if megatons in this case meant millions of tons of force, or millions of tons of TNT equivalent, because it can mean both depending on context, and they are quite different.

    Is that stated somewhere?

    Is that megatons as in weight/force, or TNT equivalent?

    Pre-Crisis Superman Overview

    Action Comics #403 Overall Notes: - This issue also features a reprint of a Vigilante story originally published in Action Comics #176. As I believe I have said before, we're not covering that character as he's not very relevant. Superman Story Notes: - Supposedly, Superman has been trying to convince the governments of the Earth to ban nuclear weapons. Although judging by how often they show up in DC, he hasn't been very successful at it. Feat Catalogue: The supercomputer in his Fortress is programmed to supply him with data on all kind of beings, even ones he has never heard of before, such as a "Zohtt" - a "magical wraith-being" that has existed in the solar system for centuries and can possess the bodies of other lifeforms, and can only be stopped by sulfur. When a device from the future creates an explosion in his office, in a split second he writes a note and puts it on the outside of his door saying that he is "experimenting with sound effects tapes", then rebuilds...

    Pre-Crisis Superman Overview

    ...not been mixed with Kryptonian elements Feat Catalogue (non-Superman): Supergirl somehow creates an invisible "barrier of super-force" that Superman can't break through to protect her half of the Fortress (perhaps based on Brainiac's forcefield technology)? We hear (but don't see) that Supergirl saved "the gem planet, Tresor" from space pirates. It's implied that both Superman and Supergirl would have been unaffected by the brainwashing gas had it not been mixed with Kryptonian elements **** - When disposing of some outlawed weapons at the behest of the U.N., Supergirl says that these weapons could pollute or destroy the Earth if they go off. Some of these weapons included a "Jigsaw-ray" gun, which could dismantle a city in seconds, a "seismotron", which could create earthquakes anywhere on Earth, and a "vapor bomb" used by a dictator to brainwash his subjects. There was also what was described as a "souped-up laser gun" that was powerful enough to destroy Superman's...

    Pre-Crisis Superman Overview

    Action Comics #399 Superman Story Notes: Feat Catalogue: Superman flies into an "experimental solar power generator" where he is hit with force that he describes as "like fighting the power of 1000 atom bombs". He's unharmed by it, but is soon drawn through time and dimensions by another force. Uses x-ray vision to see through a 24th century "refractive force shield" that supposedly stops anyone inside it from seeing outwards Fires x-ray vision through the force shield to disable its control mechanism, weakening the forcefield and allowing him to break out without hurting the others around him Flies in split seconds from a building somewhere in future America (implied, at least) to the ice under Greenland. Smashes the ice to reveal a lost civilization underground After returning to the past, flies the solar furnace into space where its energy is dispersed harmlessly, then returns to Earth, unharmed Uses microscopic vision to determine that a medallion from the future is made...

    Pre-Crisis Superman Overview

    Action Comics #397 Superman Story Notes: - Continuation of the Imaginary Story from the previous issue Feat Catalogue: - Again, this is a non-canon Imaginary Story, so no relevant feats Weirdness: - In the unimaginably distant future of the 1990s, we again see such things as: 'hover-cabs' various other hovering vehicles, including motorcycles and buses (the latter of which look like giant glass tubes) an 'automated welder' that instantly fixes damaged buildings 'cryogenic rays' that can freeze flood waters before they inundate a town a 'self-decontaminating chemical' that transforms atmospheric pollution into gemstones that rain from the sky a chemical spray of 'instant fertilizer' that makes plants grow to full size in seconds helicopters that deploy 'walls of fireproof foam' to stop fires from spreading Superdickery: After losing most of his powers and going broke, he refuses to apply for welfare or ask any of his friends for help, due to his own ego. After a doctor...

    Pre-Crisis Superman Overview

    Action Comics #395 Notes: - There's an ad in this issue for Jack Kirby's then - upcoming New Gods and Forever People series. Awesome. Feat Catalogue: We see a flashback of how Superman first built his Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic We see a tour/layout of the Fortress, including the alien zoo, "security weapons", space communications room, robot storage room, Kandor, "secret identity vaults", super-weapon armory, "super-lab and workshop", super-computer (I thought he had more than one of those), trophy room, Krypton memorial room, and "friendship galleries" (with sections dedicated to Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Perry White, Lana Lang, and Clark Kent) Using Kryptonian technology, he can apparently create "memory tapes" to record his memories and let him replay them with perfect fidelity (but I thought he already had a perfect photographic memory?) While heading back to Earth from a mission in deep space, he made a detour to a remote jungle planet because he spotted a wrecked...

    Pre-Crisis Superman Overview

    Action Comics #393 Superman Story Notes: This story featured the "Star of Asia", supposedly the world's largest diamond. There actually is a "Star of Asia" in real life, but it's a sapphire, not a diamond. The actual largest gem-quality diamond in the world is the Cullinan Diamond. At the end of this story, there is a narration bubble simply saying "Kirby is Coming". I'm not exactly sure, but this may have been an announcement that Jack Kirby was returning to work for DC, as that happened around this time, shortly before he created the New Gods. Don't get your hopes up for seeing Darkseid in this thread any time soon, though. Feat Catalogue: Uses super hearing to detect a "supersonic signal beam" from a stopwatch in a stuntman's outfit, then uses X-ray vision to figure out how the escape mechanism works, in the split second before he uses it Uses heat vision to weld a suit of armor shut around him, then uses it again to get out, all without making it look like the armor was...

    Super Sentai Respect Thread. (Feats and discussion)

    Is this particular Sentai series set/focused mostly on Earth, or does it also include space travel? That could be useful to determine whether that description implies the dimension is the size of the Earth or the universe.

    Super Sentai Respect Thread. (Feats and discussion)

    It really depends. In the standard fictional usage meaning a different spacetime, it's usually considered smaller than a universe, but it can be that size or larger, or it could also be much smaller. If there's no statement about how large it is, your best bet is probably to use the visuals to find a minimum size.

    It's good to clarify and correct false information like that which gets circulated on the internet, like I did for that Psi-Lord Big Bang feat in my Fantastic Four thread.
