Question
if superman gets his power from the sun what would happen if he flew into the sun would he become even more powerful or would he die?

Answer
Hi John -

Yes, in fact at the end of the Infinite Crisis series two Supermen from parallel universes fly into the sun and become 'over energized'.

The two become so energized that they literally are glowing with power and are able to beat the snot out of a third 'bad' Superman from yet another parallel universe.

Apparently solar energy can only strengthen Superman and, thus far, there has been no upper limit shown.  Some comic writers have even intimated that, if Superman wished it, he could compeltely drain a sun and become god like (more or less).

Hope that helps

Expertise

I am an expert on the storylines of most DC and Marvel comics particularly the X-Men, Justice League and most Marvel comics of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The characters with which I am the most familiar are Daredevil, Iron Man, Batman, and the Avengers. I am a rabid Green Lantern fan as well and would put that as one of my favorite things in life! One thing I won't do is estimate the value of a comic book, if that is what you need check out www.comicspriceguide.com

Experience

I have collected comic books for 36 years and have close relatives in the industry who helped shape the direction of comics in the early seventies.
