Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

We can solve those problems directly or indirectly by tying superman to a dynamo. With free energy even the issues with materials can be solved over time.
Isn't that just a solar panel with extra steps?
I would say the energy output Superman is capable of implies he's actually a step-up transformer as well as a solar panel. He'd be much more efficient, but of course you only have one Superman.
Now im curious. I'm just an electrician, not an engineer. How much of the grid could Superman power? Someone figure out his kilowatt-hour figures please 😅
Don't know about Superman, but we have those figures, and it's a bit disappointing.

Yoda could barely lift that X-Wing, Superman can outrun bullets. The sheer kinetic force he's capable of producing would be orders of magnitude higher than Yoda, and more consistent too
