Notes on the Conversion

Powers

When creating Superman's powers it was keen that a 90 point ceiling for the powers, or 18 DCs, would be about right for the Man of Steel's nearly limitless powers, though on special occasions this ceiling was broken.

The "In Use, Vision is only in the Infrared" Limitation on Heat Vision comes not from the Silver Age, but from an intriguing theory by Mark Wolverton in his book, "The Science of Superman." In it, he states that Superman's Heat-Vision is based on his eyes reflecting infrared rays off his iris the way a cat's eyes reflect visible light in darkness, creating "heat beams." In order to work, however, the eyes must be tuned into the infrared portion of the spectrum. It is an intriguing enough of a limitation to be represented on a character sheet, and appropo to the science-oriented Silver Age.

The "Life Vision" ability on the sheet is not found in the Silver Age comics, but in the Silver Age Superman novels by Super-Scribe Elliot S! Maggin, who propounded the intriguing theory that Superman is able to view all living things as glowing luminous beings because of the electromagnetic discharge they give off. For this reason, Superman is inclined to view all life with a respect, for he sees them in a similar way that emphasizes its similarities. As this glow remains weakly after a being is killed, for this reason, very seldom does Superman eat meat.

Superman's Superspeed is potentially the most problematic power available. To represent it, I took his Combat Flight to be 43", which with Noncombat Multiple of x4 is 1,360 hexes per Turn, or slightly less than the speed of sound, on the theory that Superman would not go faster than this in a combat situation and risk destruction to property (it also sports the enhancement: 0 End Cost with the rationale that such a miniscule exertion of speed is nothing for Superman). Superman also has Flight purchased with Megamovement x100km. This allows him to go from Metropolis to London in two seconds and from Metropolis to Hawaii in four if he accelerates to Noncombat Movement. His interstellar speed is 2 Light Years/Segment, and with a SPD of 8, this means that he can reach Proxima Centauri in slightly over two seconds after leaving Earth's atmosphere, and can cross the Milky Way galaxy from end to end in 24 hours. His ability to perform actions in eyeblinks is reflected by taking eight penalty levels with all noncombat skills and rolls, allowing him to raise actions up the Time Chart; with eight penalty levels, he can do the work of 24 hours in a single segment. To represent Superman's speed, I included as a part of his Superstunts Multipower the Autofire enhancement for physical blows and Heat-Vision to represent his occasional bursts of superspeed, instead of just increasing his SPD to an unreasonably high degree. Superman is fast, but he isn't the Flash, and doesn't fight like the Flash does, with an action every single second, using speed in bursts rather than consistently.

Superman's heat-trail vision was used in one issue of SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN. Though generally I tried not to include powers Superman only used once, this is added out of respect for Kirby, and because it was fun to build.

Superman's opacity to X-Rays (that is, as a function of his invulnerability, X-Rays cannot pierce Superman's skin) is taken as a "special effect" of his Invulnerability, as it is not worth points as an Invisibility with a very limited Sense (X-Rays show he is there by silhouette, not any of the relevant functions of his internal anatomy), as additionally it can be problematic in the rare event of Super-Surgery.

Superman's "Super-Senses" are purchased at +30, which allows him to read newspaper a man is holding or hear a whispered conversation from Earth's orbit. Sight Group is bought with the Telescoping advantage. Skill Levels with PER taken with the limitation "Only to Offset Penalties" applies to the Hearing group to represent the depth of Superman's Super-Hearing, which also involves hearing very quiet objects as well as merely hearing loud ones from far away. The Microscopic Perception is added to Superman's Hearing Group, to show he can hear such tiny events as cells dividing.

Skills/Talents/Perks

Superman's United Nations Certificate is a combination of the Perks International Police Powers with Passport, with an additional point to represent his ability to enter and exit UN Model nations at will.

Some may not agree with Superman's possession of Universal Translation, however, it has been explained that Superman speaks every single human and alien language, and it has been demonstrated on a number of occasions that his superpowerful intellect is so well developed that Superman is actually able to comprehend gradually a language, such as he did with Lori Lemaris's Mermaid tongue, when he had no previous knowledge of it.

Superman's Area Knowledge of Krypton and Smallville are only at 11- and 8- respectively, as Superman was only a baby when Krypton exploded, and while he has Super-Memory that allows him to recall it perfectly, his experience with that planet was not total. For example, on many occasions, Supergirl, who was born and reached adolescence in Argo City, has shown far wider knowledge of dead Krypton than her cousin. The reason for his low (for Superman) skill with Smallville is that this small town has changed a great deal since Superman was a boy there, and so logically his skill with it would be inexact. Disguise is taken to represent all the number of times that he and Batman have tricked a foe into using the wrong weapons on them by having one pretend to be the other, which would no doubt give the Man of Steel some knowledge of Disguise technique; since he does not rely on this on a regular basis, his skill is only sufficient for a passing familiarity.

Disadvantages

Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen are both taken as Disadvantages, though only occasionally are they used against Superman and be in need of heroic assistance. Usually, the DNPC appears in some way to give Superman mischief, such as Lois scheming to discover his Secret Identity or coming up with a clever plan to try to marry him, or Jimmy inhaling strange vapors that transform him into a Turtle Boy, or given Mind-Reading Powers by aliens (which naturally, he misuses with hilarious consequences).

Fortress of Solitude

Superman's Fortress of Solitude has the Interstellar Zoo as a DNPC as a result of the fact that occasionally, one of them might escape and make some sort of mischief for Superman. As usually only one does so at a time, the Group DNPC disadvantage is not taken.
