General description:
This card is one of the most useful cards in the entire game. For four resource points I can throw a 7/7 wall out there. Not useful you say? Let's take a look at the card. Now a 7/7 by any standards is a fair 4-drop. But one that doesn't have an associated cost? You don't take the stun damage for it. You can equip him, pump his stats to the moon, stun back their 4 drop, whatever. You DON'T TAKE STUN LOSS. on the average if a person were to throw their 4 drop at you and you block with Supes, you could reinforce him, they take 4 damage, you take nothing. Play heat vision on supes and you turn it into a 7 endurance loss for them. The possibilities are really out there. Take him against a JSA weenie deck, or x-weenies. Turnabout or T-Spheres, +3/+3 against a character with a HIGHER cost. Since Supes has no cost they don't get any bonuses. Brilliant card.

Uses:
Throw him out on turn 4. Turn five you can underdrop and put Entropy Aegis Armor on to turn him into a standard 5-drop with him NO STUN LOSS ability he can't be targeted by cheap shots like, Gambit, Wonder Man, Nick Fury, or a slew of other Activate -> Stun character with cost less than...

Strategies and game play:
In a Super Clones deck this guy rocks. JLA he definitely has his uses with all the ALLY abilities floating around out there.

Combos with other cards:
One of my favorite things to use is Impervious, John Henry Irons<>Steel, Steel Works ALLY, or indestructible. Those three used effectively can see his 4 drop going down while Supes remains unharmed. Turn five with an Entropy Aegis in the KO'd pile and Steel 5-drop sees him turn into a 9/9 standard 5-drop. There are more uses out there, but these are some that I've seen combined.

Ways to counteract it:
KO him as soon as possible. His non-stun loss means his 7/7 wall will see you wasting attack pumps just to get this one out of the way.

Strengths/Pros:
No stun loss is huge especially if you add up all the endurance that stun loss costs you. Beta Club, Apokoliptian Hospitality or anything that boosts for swinging up curve is automatically negated.

Weaknesses/Cons:
7/7 is a base total and sometimes cannot stun back for full effect.

Variations:
FOIL CARD- Superman Symbol in top left where cost would be. Less text on card.

Artwork and aesthetics:
The artwork is fair. I prefer Jim Lee Artwork, or Alex Ross. I still think that this artwork is better than the 8-drop Man of Steel artwork.

Overall rating:
A Solid 10.
