Clark can also fly at hypersonic speeds that allow him to circle the globe in moments. And if that’s not enough, Justice League member Superman has X-Ray vision and can emit beams of intense heat from his eyes. No wonder he is considered the Justice League’s most powerful member and its leader.

1/40. Dr. Manhattan (Watchmen, DC Comics)

He is shown to be powerful and invulnerable to all harm; even when his body is disintegrated, he can reconstruct it in a matter of seconds.

Blue and Yellow Superheroes
In 1929, a pamphlet first appeared that resembled modern comic books, with an illustrated cover and color print. Those initial comic books were printed in low quality on thin and cheap paper, but their price was very low – a few cents per booklet.
The four-color process used in the 40s by Marvel and DC comics used a rough but cheap color rendering process. And so we began to see new superheroes wearing bright blues and yellows, greens, and reds. The original art for most of the characters that launched comics back in the ’40s was simplistic. Here are some of the most iconic superheroes that wear blue and yellow.
Doctor Fate (Black Adam)
Wolverine (X-men)
Booster Gold (Justice League)
Laura Kinney AKA X-23 (X-Men)
Cyclops (X-Men)
Big Barda
