Would Superman become even more powerful under a blue sun?


Other color suns were never mentioned in the movies, were they?

In Action Comics #326 he goes to the planet Cometo, which is under a blue sun. It has the same effect on him as kryptonite. Captain Marvel happened to be flying by, saw him, saved him.

I would have figured it would have really supercharged him since blue suns are much more energetic than yellow suns.

reply

Yeah, a blue sun would have weakened him.

That, of course, does not make sense. I haven't read the comics in a long time and do not recall a mention of a blue sun weakening Superman. Part of Superman's powers come from our yellow sun having more energy than a red sun. By that logic, a blue sun should make him more powerful.

Did the comic that says he would be weakened explain why? (within comic physics, of course.)

What about a black sun.. ?

But crazy

A sun is yellow. Everyone knows this
