![]() If the answer is that yes, he must eat to live, then can we also safely assume he has to use the bathroom for both normal functions? I think it highly unlikely, but has this issue ever been referred to at all in any canonical literature? (As opposed to people trying to extract some humour from the situation).Post-Crisis, who knows–I suspect he needs to eat/sleep, but I don’t think it’s been addressed. He also doesn’t need to sleep/rest either, but he DOES need to dream. Pre-Crisis, as long as he’s under a yellow sun, he doesn’t need to eat to live. Has it been established that Superman has to eat to live? If an enemy could find a way to confine Supes, could Supes be starved to death?.If I can have some supplementary qs… these also came up in the pub. Sometime in the last ten years or so, the whole “Superman as Uri Geller” thing has been mostly abandoned (except for the occasional lapse) and he’s back to shooting visible laser-beams out of his eyes (with exceptions where he doesn’t). ![]() This (IMO) was not an effective storytelling technique–or an effetive dramatic technique either. He’d stare at something, his eyes would glow red and the thing on the other end would melt/burn. One notable story had him and the Parasite dueling with heat vision and people commenting on it-if they hadn’t been able to see the heat-beams, Jimmy Olsen woulda said something like “Why are they flying around, giving each other squinty stares?”Īfter 1985, and for a while after that (5-7 years, maybe), Superman’s powers all became psychic and his “heat vision” was actually pyrokinesis and while his eyes glowed when he used his pyrokinesis for reasons never clearly explained there were no rays at all. There were a number of stories where people commented on the beams. ![]() Pre-Crisis (IE before they rebooted Superman in 1985-ish and revamped his origins and powers) people saw the red laser-beams coming out of his eyes. There’ve been periods where there were no red lines at all.Ĭomplete answer (which is probably more than you wanted to know): Medium answer: Well, at least he did that through the bulk of his history. ![]() Short answer: He shoots rays out of his eyes that people can see. When Superman uses his heat vision, do people nearby actually see ruby-red laser-like rays shoot out from his eyes? Or are the red lines just there as a convention for the reader (or viewer) to indicate what’s happening? ![]()
