Respect the New Super-Man: Kenan Kong (DC)

[u/RageExTwo]

Respect Super-Man!

"I wanted you to see how the west is so often the source of this realm's ills! They are the ones who try again and again to escape their proper place! And in pursuit of that escape, they've brutalized our nation! I gave you the means to exact justice! To restore order! Why would you refuse?!"

"Because I, of all people, have to believe that a bully can become a teammate... a friend... a hero."

Kenan Kong, once an average teen in China, was selected by Dr. Omen and the secretive Ministry of Self-Reliance, to become China's Super-Man, in their attempt to create their own version of the Justice League. Empowered with the qi, or life force, of the N52 Superman, Kenan came to receive a powerset similar to his--however, rather than being rooted in a solar-powered Kryptonian physiology, he receives his powers from control over his emotions and the manipulation of this qi. These powers and their qi attributes can be seen here.

Speed:

---

• After first manifesting super speed, races the Chinese Flash, who is capable of running at 980.5 km/h at minimum, though she was likely running much faster as that speed is given for her slower bored state. Though he initially keeps up, he ends up losing the race.

• Before manifesting flight, Kenan uses his powers to wall-hop off buildings in order to strike at a flying opponent

---

Other:

---

• Kenan's first manifestation of super-hearing proves to be comprehensive, if overwhelming

• First manifestation of x-ray vision allows him to see through the belly of a demon

• Heat vision harms Superman Zero upon first activation

• Freeze breath affects an Asura while Superman's doesn't, due to Kenan being more magical in nature
