This version of Superman is maybe closest to the DCAU version. He&#8217;s not as fast on land as the Flash, and not much of a super-scientist or an inventor, but he&#8217;s still overwhelmingly physically powerful, and god-awful fast in the air. He can take a tiny amount of damage from the very largest of man-portable weapons, but with his high Physical Stress it would take a long, concentrated barrage to inflict any noteworthy wounds, and by then Supes can bend the red-hot barrel around your neck like a pretzel. He can still adventure side-by-side with Batman, who&#8217;s a lot more observant and stealthy. Remember, the big choke point for all <em>Strands of Fate<\/em> characters is your Fate Point Refresh, and all superhero characters in <em>Strands<\/em> have the same Refresh of 10.<\/p>\n<p>Cosplay by PhoenixForce85.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Character Name Superman \/ Kal-El \/ Clark Kent<\/li>\n<li>Player Name Various<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Details<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>XP 0<\/li>\n<li>PL Galaxy-Class<\/li>\n<li>FP\/Refresh 10<\/li>\n<li>TL 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aspects<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Defining Aspect: Alien from a doomed planet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Character Aspects<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ambition: Seeks to defend his adopted homeworld.<\/li>\n<li>Background: Raised on a farm in Smallville, Kansas.<\/li>\n<li>Conviction: Strict code of honor, justice, and mercy.<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantages: Lonely, distant \u201cspace messiah.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Specialty Aspects<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceptional Skill: Incredible acting skills (Deception)<\/li>\n<li>Foes: Lex Luthor, Brainiac, many others (Strength)<\/li>\n<li>Gear: The Fortress of Solitude (Resources)<\/li>\n<li>Help: Supergirl, the Justice League, S.T.A.R.
