Kal-El's Abilities

50 light-years from Earth there once existed a planet known as Krypton. There civilization was far advanced and had brought forth a race of supermen whose mental and physical powers were developed to the absolute peak of human perfect. Krypton's sole survivor Kal-El, raised on Earth as Clark Kent, uses the amazing powers bequeathed to him in his neverending battle for truth and justice as the costumed superhero Superman.

Due to various extenuating factors (mutation, age, etc.), Kal's abilities have fluctuated wildly over the decades.

(1938-1958)

An infant when he arrived on Earth, it took 22 years for Kal's natural abilities to emerge and mature, reaching their peak once he learned to fly in 1938. His powerset from then to 1958 was the baseline Kryptonian powerset.

PRIMARY ABILITIES

Abilities Kal can voluntarily control.

FLIGHT

  • Can be expanded to objects of lesser/equal mass he is in physical contact with.
  • Electromagnetic in nature, this ability can be impaired by strong electric/magnetic fields.

INVULNERABILITY

  • Capable of withstanding up to 2092 megajoules.
  • Can be expanded/transferred to objects of lesser/equal mass he is in physical contact with.
  • Can be contracted to facilitate shaving, haircuts, etc.
  • Electromagnetic in nature, this ability can be impaired by strong electric/magnetic fields.

MICROSCOPIC VISION

  • Capable of focusing in on molecules with a bond length of 0.74 Å.

SUPER HEARING

  • Capable of perceiving sounds in the infrasonic to ultrasonic ranges within a 5 km radius.

SUPER SPEED

  • Capable of attaining a maximum speed of 4939 km/h (on ground) 1975 km/h (in flight).

SUPER STRENGTH

  • Capable of lifting a maximum of 90 metric tons.

TELESCOPIC VISION

  • Capable of focusing in on objects with a 68 cm circumference/21 cm diameter from a distance of 5 km.

X-RAY VISION

SECONDARY ABILITIES

Abilities Kal cannot voluntarily control.

ACCELERATED HEALING

  • Capable of fully recovering from injuries as severe as 4th-degree burns to 60% of his body within a year (with medical assistance).

GENIUS-LEVEL INTELLECT

IMMUNITY

  • Immune to all naturally occurring terrestrial infections/poisons.

LONGEVITY

  • Has a 1000-year lifespan.

EIDETIC MEMORY

RADIATION ABSORPTION

  • Capable of absorbing, storing, and metabolizing ambient radiation, enabling his other abilities.
  • The number of abilities he can possess, and the intensity at which he can possess them, increases/decreases in exact proportion to the amount of ambient radiation he can absorb/retain.
  • Incapable of safely processing high doses of ionizing radiation. Exposure turns his skin translucent, force-feeding his cells energy to the point of incapacitation, eventually leading to apoptosis.
SUPER STAMINA

  • Capable of going without oxygen up to 90 minutes, water up to 2 weeks, sleep over 5 weeks, and food up to 7 weeks.

SUPER VISION

  • 8 times stronger than average human vision.
  • Capable of perceiving colours in the near-infrared to near-ultraviolet ranges.

(1958-1985)

In 1947, Kal was exposed to black kryptonite, splitting him into two separate individuals — an amoral Superman and a cowardly Clark Kent. Eleven years following this separation, Superman travelled to Universe 29, where in his fateful encounter with his twisted Bizarro counterpart he was first exposed to blue kryptonite. Exposure to this alien kryptonite increased his powers tenfold, giving him the strength needed to beat his opponent. Upon returning to Universe 1, he had a large crystal of blue K synthesized, whereupon he began habitually bathing himself in its radiations, further augmenting his powers. By the turn of the decade, Superman was in possession of a vast repertoire of godlike powers which no other Kryptonian possessed.

TELEKINESIS

TELESCOPIC VISION

  • Capable of focusing in on objects with a 21 km diameter from a distance of 7.5 billion km.

WORMHOLE GENERATION

X-RAY VISION

SECONDARY ABILITIES

GENIUS-LEVEL INTELLECT

IMMUNITY

LONGEVITY

  • Has a 100,000-year lifespan.

EIDETIC MEMORY

REGENERATION

  • Capable of fully recovering from injuries as severe as 4th-degree burns to 90% of his body instantaneously.

RADIATION ABSORPTION

SUPER STAMINA

  • Capable of going without oxygen, water, sleep, and food indefinitely.

(1985-1993)

In 1985, Superman and Clark were finally merged back into a single individual. While the superpowered Superman hadn't aged a year in the decades they were separated, the non-powered Clark had. This had a noticeable effect on the reconstituted Kal-El, as not only did he possess a middle-aged Kryptonian form, but his powers had been significantly decreased, though not to their original pre-blue K levels.

PRIMARY ABILITIES
