[edit] Powers

What are Uncle Sam's powers?

According to the DC encyclopdiea "Superstrength, invulnerability; can change size; powers are proportionate to the country's faith in the ideals of liberty and freedom." Elijya 08:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Man, they really piled it on with that last bit.--KrossTalk 10:15, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Was he portrayed with all of those in Quality Comics, or not until DC took him over? Postdlf 18:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not sure

In an alternate DC universe appearing in Superman/Batman, Uncle Sam becomes Green Lantern when Wonder Woman gives him Abin Sur's ring, as Hal Jordan was dead in this reality and wasn't able to take the power ring. I'm not sure about the Alternate dc universe wasn't that an alternative future that was avioded??--T-man... ""worst vandal ever"" 05:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

No, it was weird. People from an alternate future journied into the past and raised Batman and Superman to be overlords, thus creating an alternate present. Elijya 18:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I had the concept in mind but I expressed it wrong. wasn't that an alternative future that was avioded?? ment alternate present I only didn't think it through before writing. I and although I have it crystal clear in my mind now... My head still hurts. It's basically your Back to the Future II-villain-from-the-future-mess-with-past-therefore-alters-present plot. I got confused because of the term alternate DC Universe, which makes it look as if it were an Elseworld or an "Earth #". Maybe a currupted present, currupted present a la , currupted DC Universe present, or something like that.--T-man... ""worst vandal ever"" 03:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I think just "alternate universe" sums it up fine. Elijya 19:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
