Question
If Q shrunk the Sun to microscopic size, put it in Superman's stomach, and then snapped his fingers and restored it to its normal size, would Superman die?

Answer
Hi John -

In theory no, his cells should be able to metabolize the solar energy instantly.

In various depictions in the comics he has flown right through the sun and absorbed its solar energy without ill effects, so he should be fine, though I doubt it would do him too much good.

Thanks!

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.
