Can you kill superman with a lightsaber

A few seconds later....

Suddenly, Kalibak reappeared through another boom tube, grabbed the masked man, and smashed his head open.

"Thats for being illogical *****." He said, before returning to Apocalypse.

Godmode much?

Superman shoud be less worried about the lightsaber and more worried about the force powers. As SW:FU showed, Force Lightning is better at downing dudes than the saber.

The saber would hurt, but I doubt it would kill the bloke. If Superman faced off with Vader, I think Vader would win via force powers and not the lightsaber.

No. You forgot the fact that Boomtubes are portal projectors that can allow cross dimensional travel, and that Kalibak can take superman in pysical combat for a bit.

You also missed me saying that what you were referencing completely went over my head.

And yes, you did enter into godmode.

If Superman Returns taught us anything, it's that you could kill Superman with a piece of kryptonite taped to a stick.

Yeah, Superman has the BIGGEST Achilles heel ever conceived.

You know what I want to see Superman taken down by?

Kryptonite spitballs

Off main topic I know. I read somewhere the krytonite was never part of the original 1940's Supeman mythos. It came about from the Superman radio show. The original radio voice over needed time to take vacations, so to give the audience a reason why his voice was different, they invented kryptonite to explain it as a plot convinience.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptonite Found this on wiki. It kind of confirms it.

I agree it is a Big A Heel. I would rather of had the original writer's put in set limits to his various powers rather than a collection of rocks. Reversing time by flying faster than the speed of light in the 1970's movie always bothered me. You need an infinate amount of energy to reach the speed of light. The yellow sun can't provide that.

But I'm being a tech weenie.

On Topic: If it was assumed that a lightsaber could cut SM's flesh. I think a force sensitive (jedi or sith) could do it because of the Force Preconition and Force speed verses SM's inate speed. I think it would even be a good battle.

Dude. It's Super Man! He can run and fly at speeds that could give the flash some run for his money. Unless the person was extremely, and I mean extremely sensitive, I dont see how a force user could match SM's speed. Sure, said person would be fast, but faster than the Man of Tommorow? I've yet to see such a jedi/sith.

Again the operative word isn't speed. As speedy as a Jedi/Sith is from the Force, that is not what I am talking about. I acknowledge the speed a Force sensitive could ever have would not match Superman.

No, the operative word here is precognition. The ability to see the future and know what your opponent will do before they do. Superman relies on our normal five senses. They are just superhuman in their range. Superman has to physically see the bullet coming. Maybe hear it. The force types know it's coming before it is fired; they don't have to see or hear it. Even the fastest can't override something being seen before it happens. The movie Next with Nick Cage explores this concept well. Kept in mind the Jedi/Sith didn't usally sit there and examine what they saw in combat using the physics of the grey matter between their ears to make their reactions. They would let the force guide and move their actions by default. Not just put commands to the force.

Because of this I think in a one on one fight it would be close between SM and a well trained Force trained master.

Of course it assumes a lightsaber could hurt SM as no other arsenal in a Jedi/Sith could hurt him. Unless SM needs oxygen to live and a Force block in his throat would deprive him. But I don't think a Jedi/Sith would be strong enough to block the air in SM lungs with the Force.

Multi- kill

This eliminates the quote tree.

Again I acknowledge Supes is going to be way faster than any jedi/sith. My main debete is on the idea of ...precognition...seeing or becoming aware of an action before it even happens. For all of Supes glory he relies on real time sensory input. The force sensitive can see something happen before it happens and effect an action that can change its outcome. Even supes can't do that based on any mythos I've heard of.

Does that mean the Jedi/Sith would win...no. I'm saying it would be close. If the FS knows through the Force without thinking where or what Supes is about to do, it would give supes a run for his money. If I knew next Saturday's Powerball's numbers through precognition, I promise I would be a multimillionaire the following Monday when I turn in that ticket. The FS will use that skill effectively against Supes.

I don't think Force lightning would have an effect. Luke survived. Obi and Anikin survived Dookoo. I have seen Supes take bigger hits than that in comics and various other media as far as electricity. Amounts that would kill any living creature. .5 an amp is enough to cause cardiac arrest (kill). I don't see that ability having an affect on Supes.

Again even for precog to have an effect, it assumes the LS can actually cause damage to Supes. It is strong enough to cut through blast doors. Force Lightning isn't.

Oh, and just because it pertains to this thread:

this is basically what would happen 90 percent of the time.

also isnt the force basically a form of magic? meaning it could effect superman?

The old school version was. So since the original trilogy doesn't exist...yes.

You don't even need the stick.
