February 2, 2015: Geoff Johns Talks About Superman's New Power

Superman #38 "Superman #38" will introduce a new costume, new powers, and new friends and enemies for the Man of Steel, and writer Geoff Johns spoke with USA Today to discuss what the comic book issue holds for Superman, and how the new power comes about. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    The story climaxes in the new issue with the consequences of what Ulysses tried to do and how Superman has to stop him, and with that comes the development of a new power - adding to the super strength, X-ray vision, heat vision, flying, etc. - that is an extension of the Man of Steel's physiology.

    Whether it's a net positive or negative for the character "depends on your point of view," Johns teases. "It's definitely the most destructive power Superman has. And he's not exactly excited about it because it is so dangerous and there are consequences.

    "It's not going to be suddenly he can levitate things," he adds. "It's something that is going to be very unstable and something that Superman's going to have to deal with for quite a while."
