1 Justice League Hero Is Officially Immune to a Vital Superman Power

Superman’s invulnerability has provided him with immunity to numerous powers and assaults that would be fatal to most other Justice League members. Nevertheless, one hero has turned the tables on Kal-El by demonstrating immunity to one of The Man of Steel’s most iconic and crucial powers. This newfound immunity prompts speculation about what other abilities this hero might also be impervious to.

Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #13 plunges The Man of Steel and The Dark Knight into the depths of a murder mystery involving a poisoned billionaire with a history of animosity and connections to Rex “Metamorpho” Mason, positioning the Justice League member as a potential suspect.

Batman takes the lead in the interrogation while Superman listens intently as they confront Metamorpho. After questioning Rex, Superman reveals to Batman that Metamorpho is impervious to his lie-detecting abilities, leaving Clark unsure about the veracity of Rex’s denial of involvement in the murder.

Metamorpho Is Immune to a Facet of Superman’s Super Hearing Power

Thanks to Superman’s superhearing, he possesses the ability to listen to people’s hearts and discern when they are lying, effectively serving as a human lie detector. However, as Clark explains to Batman, he finds himself unable to discern Rex’s honesty because the man lacks a traditional heartbeat. Consequently, Rex becomes virtually impervious to one of Superman’s most critical abilities upon which the hero has come to depend on. This places Metamorpho in a distinctive position among his fellow Justice League members, as he may be one of the few who could successfully deceive Superman.

Metamorpho boasts a unique set of powers and abilities that resulted from an “accident” involving an ancient meteorite. Via the meteorite, Rex gained the power to transform his body into any elemental compound or substance found on Earth. This ability allows him to alter his physical form at will, granting him superhuman strength, durability, and the capacity to manipulate his shape in various ways. Metamorpho also possesses an enhanced healing factor, enabling him to regenerate from injuries rapidly. Furthermore, his unique physiology also grants him immunity to various powers of other heroes, as seen with Superman and his lie-detecting abilities.

Superman vs. Metamorpho: Who Would Win? (The Answer Might Surprise You)

In a showdown between Superman and Metamorpho, fans might find themselves surprised by the lack of a clear victor. Such a clash would likely end in a stalemate, as Metamorpho possesses the ability to evade Superman’s attacks indefinitely by transforming into a gaseous state. Superman’s inability to land a hit would render him unable to secure a win, while Metamorpho might lack the offensive power needed to defeat Kal-El. Consequently, the outcome of the battle would likely remain unresolved unless Superman or Metamorpho were to employ particularly innovative tactics to gain the upper hand.
