(note: Superman has no Trait.)

STRENGTHS:

Holy kingdom come. Thanks to his "Scorched Air" (Charge+Flurry) and "Kryptonian Strength" (carry two normal objects at once) powers, this Superman can Charge and deal a staggering 14 clicks of damage in one move -- no normal 11-click dial lacking Impervious (or the PROTECTED feat, or the "Invincible" Special Power) can survive THAT! A few clicks in, he gets Hypersonic Speed-y as well, maintaining his high damage values. But it's his below-250 cost that makes him great. 

WEAKNESSES:

He just doesn't have one, unless you count a slight weakness against Stealth, as he lacks the Superman Ally TA and the full-speed move & attack ability to get to hidden pieces quickly -- or to counter the other HSS bricks in his weight class. But who doesn't have a slight weakness against Stealth and HSS?

CARDS TO CONSIDER:

FORTITUDE, of course (REPULSOR SHIELD can shore up his sole weakness to Psychic Blast, but 50 points of feats isn't even legal in builds lower than 500 points, and shouldn't be necessary). DAMAGE SHIELD works all dial. RIP IT UP gives him more objects to hit with. Use the KINETIC ACCELERATOR to boost his Charge to the max.

IN SUM:

Special Powers must really warp the HeroClix points formula for this Superman to be every bit as good as yet so much cheaper than the OTHER KC Superman from Unleashed! 4.5 of 5.
