Yep. Superman apparently needed to breathe as of a few months ago. Yet a few short years ago he definitively did not. A month from now who knows? Especially with another (final!) crisis underway.
DC is a mess right now.

BIG difference between Rulk and Kurse. · vermin · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 02:21:39 pm EDT
- The difference is that Kurse was created by an intelligent, capable writer. Rulk? Nowhere near it. · MjolnirsPower · Wed Aug 27, 2008 at 06:29:52 pm EDT
- while he can theoretically jump really well also, Kurse hasn't shown the mobility · Braugi · Wed Aug 27, 2008 at 07:36:48 am EDT
  - What? No Mobility? Kurse is an Asgardian ELF... even a pork-belly Elf has more agility/mobility than a top end Human does...sheesh....(NT) · Defensor · Wed Aug 27, 2008 at 11:55:04 am EDT

    - Superman. He apparently has now been retconned to no longer being able to breathe in space. Has to now hold his breath like the rest of us. :-) (no text) · Maestro · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 04:40:55 pm EDT

        First of all, this is the first I am hearing of this. Secondly, how long with it last? · vermin · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 04:58:52 pm EDT

- If either Rhulk or Kurse were put in outerspace, they would not be able to engage each other.... · Defensor · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 02:34:59 pm EDT
  - Rulk would die and Kurse would exist indefinitely. · vermin · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 02:36:41 pm EDT
    - Would he? · Fifthchild · Wed Aug 27, 2008 at 12:57:56 am EDT
      - He said he needed to hold his breath, so yes. If he didn't need to, he wouldn't have told us he did. Not hard. · vermin · Wed Aug 27, 2008 at 10:07:01 am EDT

        Goku's Dad didn't die from lack of air. he died from being caught in Freiza's giant energy attack. (no text) · Maestro · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 04:34:59 pm EDT
        
        Yeah, they only had super strength, super combat speed and flight and EP that could destroy planets. (no text) · vermin · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 03:26:29 pm EDT
        
        But the point is, you are attempting to use the need for air to breathe as a prerequisite for Herald Buster. Sayans need air. (no text) · Maestro · Tue Aug 26, 2008 at 03:29:31 pm EDT
