Can Superman Be Harmed By Xenomorph Acid Blood?
2010-08-17, 2:23 AM #1
So I have the DC Superman vs Aliens, series 1 and 2. Their in my house somewhere in a box of other comics ive been meaning to read. I havnt started... BUT, this perticular topic crossed my mind, would superman be effected by the acid blood of a xenomorph? I would assume as long as he had earth's yellow sun to enhanse he kryptonian biological make-up, right? Im not sure, I guess I ll have to ask you what you think.:cool:

What a dumb question.

Superman is the most overpowered and idiotic superhero ever. That's why kryptonite is apparently the most plentiful substance on Earth.

For once I fully agree with JM, especially in sentiment with regards to Superman
(also a steel douche sounds awkward).

If it did hurt him, he could just turn back time until before he got injured! :suicide:

Funny. I have at least some of those comics as well but haven't read them yet either. I also don't remember kryptonite being especially plentiful except in that dopey Smallville show (of which I admit to, so far, watching eight seasons of).

It's hard to say; while alien blood is most likely hydrosulphuric acid, Superman's invulnerability is quite variable:

Assuming a more realistic Superman, his skin is probably either some sort of highly-crosslinked hydrocarbon polymer, similar to Kevlar, or a carbon nanofiber weave. Depending on this, xenomorph blood may or may not cause it to decompose. However, given Superman's general resistance to chemical agents, I would guess that he would be immune to this acid as well (if he were not, surely some enemy of his would have used this weakness in an attempt to defeat him).

Yah, that was one of those thing about the first 2 Richard Lester movies. Superman gets a bunch of redicules unexplainable powers. Fly around the world and turn time back, kiss lois and give her memory loss, and the worst of all (family guy had a skit about it) was throwing a superman "S" at a villin, that get entangled like a hunting net. WHA!?

As far as Sueprman being a lame superhero, I could understand not liking him, but tthe coolest part of Supes is how deep the Kryptonian mythology goes. The kryptonien bible for instance is really cool.

Yah, its realy really stupid though how ther is like an unlimited ammount of kryptanite in the world. And **** smallville, ive never seemed to be able to get into "Sitcom Tv Super-teen".

Hi, this is Spiral posting from opus's account. THEY ARE NOT CALLED XENOMORPHS, THAT'S NOT CANON. It was only ONE SOLDIER from Aliens that called them that. I ****ING WISH PEOPLE WOULD GET THIS RIGHT.

Ripley did so as well in a deleted scene from Alien 3. Oh, and btw, MARINES IN ALIENS ARE NOT REFERRED TO AS SOLDIERS. I ****ING WISH PEOPLE WOULD GET THIS RIGHT.

I have this theory that Superman isn't actually super-strong, invincible, super-fast or super-whatever. He just has amazingly powerful telekinesis that he can't fully control.

So Superman would be immune to xenomorph blood, but only if he thinks he is.

I don't know a lot about how various authors have treated the subject of Superman... but in a way, he's a sort of Dr. Manhattan. Not all powerful, but totally invulnerable (with exceptions) and I'd imagine more interesting storylines would really delve into the implications of that... personal implications for him, combat implications, social implications for America, etc.

Your theory would be an interesting dimension to such stories, Jon, particularly with regard to how he views or understands himself.

Hasn't the author admitted that Dr. Manhattan was meant to be a 'realistic' superman?

and how is it redundant :(
2010-08-17, 3:43 PM #25
Because invulnerable already means that he cannot be harmed, so TOTALLY has no room to add any meaning. I will give you that one, though, it is perhaps intended merely to emphasize the point that he is invulnerable. However, by so emphasizing, you contradict your following point, which is that he is not invulnerable, and definitely not TOTALLY invulnerable, because there are exceptions, i.e. he has vulnerabilities.

Am I wrong? Am I wrong, dude? Am I wrong? No I am not wrong, I am just an *******. ;)

I think we all know that he really meant he is totally invulnerable most of the time. Jeez, such a nitpicker. ;)

But the first 2 Richard Lester films were Superman 2 and 3! I'll give you the S and whatnot but I think that was a Richard Donner scene.
nope.

I'm gonna tit**** you so hardly. Saying invulnerable implies total invulnerability, but there's also nigh invulnerability, so let's at least agree that I'm just emphasizing the point. The fact that there are exceptions doesn't necessarily contradict total invulnerability. In his normal state, say, nothing can harm him, he is totally invulnerable and furthermore, fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
2010-08-17, 4:23 PM #29
But in his normal state, kryptonite harms him. That's a vulnerability. WHY ARE WE ARGUING ABOUT SUPERMAN, WHOSE POWERS ARE STUPID AND DON'T MAKE SENSE.

We should agree that he is nigh invulnerable.

Also, "douche not "douch."

Or "dush" (pronounced the same) if you mean to say "shower" in Russian. I was in Russia few years ago and was alarmed at the number of people who asked me if I wanted to dush.

ok that explains the strength, speed, flying, invulnerability and super breath... but what about the heat vision? especially considering it's often depicted as beams coming from his ****ing eyes

or his ability to survive in space... not needing to eat or drink to survive... super hearing...

Superboy Prime (an alternative reality version of Superman) doesn't really have any significant weaknesses. Superman is also vulnerable to magic.
