The Jewish tradition is typically that you're not supposed to say god's name. The word 'adonai' pretty much is a junk word used to refer to god. The word in Hebrew script is actually a combination of two silent letters, it's literally unpronouncable.

Historically, it was said the only recorded version of gods true name was in the Great Temple of Jerusalem, where the head rabbi said it one during the New Years prayers to udder in a new year. As that temple was destroyed (twice). The name is lost, and the ceremony where it was spoken is defunct because it could only be performed at that particular (now destroyed) temple.

I wonder if there are any parodies of Lovecraft's work that make the connection with his impossible beings. I wonder if there's a good fic to cross Incarnations of Immortality with just to play around with the "god is horrifying" idea.

Yeah but it takes the form of something that is conceptually healthy for him. It's like how undead can be healed by negative energy.

So... Kon progressing as an infernal, pardon, titanic exalted and getting a new charm is nice. But did Wally make his first billion off alchemical hair dyes yet? Did Canis make any new art and maybe get to brawl with some gods? Has Atlantis prooduced at least one magitech expert capable of car repair? Did Hitler-clone start as a superhero?

Autocorrect has not been kind to you...

Oh my gosh he actually admitted that he fingerbanged a giant monster spider. I would have sworn he'd never mention it and hope Guy would keep quiet.

... On second thought maybe getting the reveal out of the way makes sense.

ThrawnCA · Jan 30, 2018

Aww...just watched canon episode 2, with Superboy awkwardly meeting Superman, and, and, Wonder Woman was in the background but she isn't going to adopt him! No one is!

And he was sad

Generally speaking, his vulnerability to magic isn't like his vulnerability to kryptonite. An attack being magic-based isn't enough, otherwise blows from beings whose strength is entirely magical in nature, like Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel, would paste him. What he has is actually a lack of resistance to magical effects. If the magic lightning's effect is electrocution, well, he's nigh-invulnerable so it's not gonna hurt him much, if at all. If the magic lightning's effect is polymorphing or explicitly shocking everything regardless of its normal vulnerability to electricity, he gets changed or shocked because he has no resistance and the spell bypasses his invulnerability.

At least, that's how it works under the right writer.

Or Cyclop's beams, but made of sunfire. Something that's not as neat as Superman's "laser eyes" version that only damages the target.

It fries the target...and what's next to the target...and whatever is on the other side of the target.

Yeah I get the feeling it's more literally heat from the sun. As in oh look a local coronal mass ejection. Very local.

Shit, I remember that series. he was more self absorbed though, wasn't he?

It has not. And thank you, corrected.

I'm guessing this version of heat vision is more along the lines of "the sun is looking at me from twelve feet away"

Which means it bypasses his Kryptonian damage resistance to do even greater anounts of undamage than before. lt's supereffective x2 healing and Helios gets STAB on it for another x1.5 on top. With another x2 due to Sunny Day.

there also some difference between Divine and Normal Magic

Divine stuff that god do have some mix of what their domain is

being a Sun God mean that all his attack do Solar damage which Super have a trait that absorb all Solar damage and convert it to enhance his stats

it like using Electric on a Pokemon with Volt Absorb

The idea of those were cool, but the actual writing was so misogynist I stopped reading in disgust before I had ever heard the word 'feminism'.

It's pronounced Jahorah.

I can no lie....it does nothing.

Also, kinda pleased that I asked about something like this, and now it has happened. I did expect it to be a bit harder though. Props to Helios

Superman, despite his "weakness" to magic has tanked punches from magical beings as powerful as he is, magic lightning bolts from the Shazam crowd, and Darkseid's omega beams.

You know, the omega beams that disintegrate New Gods.

So yeah, absorbing magic solar attacks isn't surprising.

He doesn't really have a weakness to magic. He's just not invulnerable to it.

Reminds me of an old Thor comic where Balder fought some Frost Giants. Frost and Sun don't mix well...

Balder: "Have you ever seen the Sun? Close up?"
