Let me start off by saying that I love Superman; he's the ultimate super-hero since nothing can stop him except kryptonite. And that's exactly where this is going. Nothing can stop Superman except kryptonite. Ok so say you're Superman and you can fly basically at lightspeed and you have x-ray vision and there's only one thing that can stop you and it's a rock that you have to be close enough to it for it to even affect you, would you go anywhere suspicious without first x-raying the whole place for your weakness? It would take less than a second since you are lightning quick and have x-ray vision! The only problem I can see is that you can't see through lead, but if you see a box of something that you can't see through, then be a little careful or just speed in, grab it, and throw it into the bottom of the ocean. Boy would that make your enemy nervous. He wouldn't even see you do it since you move that fast. Unless of course you created some sort of a wake behind you and destroyed everything in your path, but I think we're assuming that that doesn't happen. So basically your enemy is staring at his only hope of stopping you when his plan starts to kick in when it disappears; yea I think he would be getting nervous. So is it just me or is Superman not invincible? He's kind of an all or nothing type of super hero since the only thing that can stop him from saving the day also totally immobalizes him giving you the chance to kill him easily. Well anyway, I do love Superman, but contrary to popular belief, it just doesn't add up.
