    Default Question: How much stronger would Superman be on Namek?

    As we all know, Superman gets his powers from the Earth's Yellow Sun.
    Now, since Namek has three suns, I was curious as to how much more powerful he would be on such a planet.

    Were they all yellow suns?

    He'd become Superman >9,000,000?

    I'm not certain it would affect him, unless there's an example. There should be a limit to how efficiently he can charge his batteries. I seem to recall there being some scenes across various media of him powering up more in close proximity to the sun, so he may not be operating at full capacity on Earth, but I don't know if that's going to change much on Namek, since they seem to be getting about as much energy from their three suns as we do from our one, along with having an extremely similar atmosphere. I guess having daylight 24/7 would probably close to halve the time it takes him to get to whatever his usual state is. Dunno if it would take him beyond that or what - I know there's at least some books which say he's getting stronger from continued exposure, so he might get to his upper levels a lot faster, but it would still probably be years before he was hitting the kryptonite-is-useless point.

    Actually, the last time Supergirl visited a planet with 3 suns, it significantly boosted her, to the point of barely being able to control her powers.
