Powers:
LAST SON OF KRYPTON:
As one of the last survivors of Krypton, Superman’s physiology is far different than that of mortal
man. Due to cellular differences, Superman’s body is like a solar collector, allowing him to absorb
and convert solar energy in a variety of ways. Superman’s powers are as follows:

• True Invulnerability: UN (100) to physical/Energy  Invulnerability: Cl 1000 to Radiation, Terrestrial Disease, Corrosives, Toxins, Heat, Cold
• Hyper Speed: AM (50)
• Hyper Intake/Expulsion: AM (50) Super cool breath
• Heat Vision: UN (100) rank with 10 area range
• True Flight: UN (100) in Atmosphere, Cl 1000 in space
• Solar Regeneration: Superman is capable of regenerating through simple exposure to sunlight
• Hyper Hearing: SHX (150)
• Telescopic Vision: SHX (150)
• Microscopic Vision: SHX (150)
• Penetration Vision: SHX (150)

Contacts:
Superman has a variety of contacts throughout Earth's governments and most superheroes on Earth. In addition, Superman has various contacts throughout the 28 known galaxies and beyond. By the 30th century, Superman has achieved almost mythic status, and has several contacts there as well.


Limitations:

• Kryptonite: Kryptonite causes his body's cells to deteriorate, similar to radiation poisoning in a human being. Exposure to Kryptonite causes Superman to lose all his powers at -1CS per round. He also loses 1 rank of Strength and Endurance (with its loss of Health) per round until death occurs at Shift-0 Endurance. Removal of the Kryptonite enables Superman's body to regain lost ranks at a rate of one per round.
• Magic: Superman also has a vulnerability to magic attacks and the effects of magic. Magical attacks directly effect Superman ignoring any resistances or invulnerability. Further more any magical effect is increased +1CS in rank and duration against Superman.
• Atmospheric Need: Superman needs an Earth like atmosphere to breath in. His Endurance enables him to last for extended period without holding his breath, but in space he will eventually need a space suit. His greater constitution (Endurance) provides little need for sleep, however eventually he will tire and require rest. 
• Solar Dependant: Superman's powers are based on solar radiation from Earth's yellow sun. Should he be deprived of this radiation for an extended period he will loose all his powers.

Captain Marvel is on league with Superman when it comes to raw strength, and additionally, Marvel only needs to make a Yellow FEAT to push his strength past the normal levels. In addition, Captain Marvel has been shown to have the following:
- Hyper Intake/Expulsion: Mn (75) ability for ‘super breath’
A- The Power of Atlas: Billy has been granted the exceptional endurance of the titan Atlas, and as such has the higher Endurance rate. In addition, the power of Atlas has granted Billy the following:

In Kingdom Come it took Lex Luthor a decade to wear Billy down in his human guise to make him his servant, as an FYI.
