Are Superman's muscles purly aesthetic? Could he get stronger

/co/ here.
The problem isn't really lifting heavy, supes lifts plenty heavy and actually pushes his limits pretty often.

His problem is that biologically he doesn't really feed himself right, his macros are all fucked up because he relies more on a genetic flaw (His cells convert solar energy) and he can't really train that. He just sort of builds up a tolerance and the inverse square law applies. look up 1000000, he literally lives in the sun for 100 years just to gain 1% power.

If instead his body could just lift and rely on converting food and etc for his powers maybe training would help him, but his strength is sorta different than you're thinking it is.

Wow. Btw who is 1000000?

>Are Superman's muscles
m8 those aren't muscles. those are cushions so he doesn't damage anything he unintentionally collides with.

Isn't the fact superman has a special biology that gets power from the sun kind of important, since theres no way he can maintain his powers based on just human food alone if we are considering energy in->energy out

1000000 was a series of comics DC put out that shows the audience what the world is in 1000000 AD. Superman evolved to be an immortal and just lives in the sun in that storyline.

Well that's the thing. If supes expends all the solar energy he has, he's basically just a regular human. This has been addressed in certain stories where we're talking about his retirement or alternative universes.

Basically if he was fully drained and on a human level he could train just like a human. But even a few seconds of yellow sun would make that training pointless if he was ever exposed to it.

Two different sources of power that's all.

HOW HAS NO ON IN A BUILDING FULL OF REPORTERS AND JOURNALISTS NOT FIGURED THIS OUT!

Goku does it.

How would that work? If he de-powered, then trained, then re-powered, wouldn't he become even stronger because he has increased the amount of muscle cells in his body that would be exposed to the solar energy?

Why do people make posts like this.

Why

Journalists and reporters don't really scream intelligence.

I really hope you're just trolling with this. You do know you don't gain muscle cells, right? You just make what you have bigger.

Batman trains EVERYDAY at the gym for HOURS while SUPERMAN is getting HIT ON by his COWORKERS for his GENETICS.
