Gameplay[]

Superman is a power type character, and is recommended as a tutorial character for those who prefer poewr characters (Batman being the counter with Gadget characters).

Superman has a varied move set. As a power character, he relies heavily on his metahuman abilities more than his actual physical strength. Superman has a wide array of defensive and offensive attacks, allowing him to be a close combat, and semi-long ranged fighter.
Superman's biggest weakness is that he is not a long ranged fighter. He has one move, his Heat Vision attack, that allows him to attack the opponnet from across the screen, but that is it. Superman's does better in close quarters. If you can chain together a combo of low, middle, and high hits, with a meter burned Arctic Breath, for instance, this can allow you to get in and do massive damage quickly.
Superman is constantly floating, and has an average "walk speed", as well as an average dash which covers some distance.

Throw[]

Forward Throw: Superman grabs his opponent by their leg, swings them around twice, before blasting them into the air with his heat vision, where they land in front of him.

Reverse Throw: Superman grabs his opponent by their leg, swings them around twice, before blasting them into the air with his heat vision where they land behind him.

Character Trait[]

Solar Battery: Solar Battery causes Superman to glow yellow, and allows him to ignore armor and inflict greater damge with attacks such as Heat Vision and Arctic Breath.

Super Move[]

The Last Son: Superman flies towards his opponent and grabs him/her. He punches them through the Earth, where they can be seen flying through the planet. As they shoot out the other side, they are met by Superman who chuckles and freezes them. He winds his fist up and punches, shattering them back down to Earth. His super move does 36.34 damage and is 7 hits.

Ending[]

After the fall of Earth-889's villanious Superman, the Superman of our world returned home. Scarred and tortured by the events he had witnessed in the alternate dimmension, Superman traveled through time in space using a Boom Tube. He appeared on the galactic coordintes of where Krypton once supn, and instantly felt the affects. Green bits of Kryptonite floated through the void, but Superman resisted. After hours upon hours of heated meditation, Superman emerged from the wreckage of Krypton...immune to his greatest weakness. He was now, truly immortal.
