Visual Powers

Superman can be defeated by visual powers. To start off this point, we should probably explain exactly what we actually mean by visual powers.

Visual powers are powers that are activated when the victim simply looks at the character who possesses the power in question.

There are characters who can defeat opponents when other characters simply look at them. Although such characters aren’t all powerful enough to have their powers work on those as powerful as Superman, there are certainly some who possess enough power for it to work on the Man of Steel.

Examples could include Johnny Sorrow, who is so hideous that looking at him can kill people, but it turns characters as powerful as as powerful as the wizard Shazam to stone and even badly injured Doctor Mid-Nite – and he’s blind! Other characters could include Jasmine from the Buffyverse, who magically gets people under her control when they look at her.
