February 4, 2015: Infographic Reveals Superman's New Power: Super Flare
Posted by Neil Cole
DC Comics has released the following infographic which reveals the Man of Steel's first new super power in decades - the Super Flare:
In Superman #38 - which released today - Superman discovers he has the new power during a fight with Ulysses in the final chapter of "The Men of Tomorrow" arc by writer Geoff Johns and artist John Romita, Jr.
The Super Flare power expels all of Superman's energy within his cells to create a bright, powerful blast which can incinerate everything within a quarter mile. In addition to causing mass destruction, another downside to the power is that by depleting his cells, Superman essentially becomes human for a 24-hour period.
The battle with Ulysses also destroys most of Superman's Kryptonian armor costume which leads to the reveal a newly designed costume which was previously revealed this past weekend.
