SUPERMAN Action Figure Reveals First Look At DCU's Man Of Steel Using His Heat Vision

A newly revealed Superman action figure has offered a glimpse at the Man of Tomorrow's Heat Vision, and it's not all that different from Henry Cavill's Man of Steel in the DCEU. Check it out here...

For "Superman Day," McFarlane Toys revealed a whole host of new Superman movie action figures. Now, we have a closer look at a deluxe version of David Corenswet's Man of Steel, which comes with an alternate head showcasing the hero's heat vision. 

This is the first time we've seen this power from the DCU's Superman, and while it's unwise to put too much stock into what we see in merchandise, the effect is already generating discussion among fans.

That's a real deep comic book red, though the effects under and around his eyes seem to suggest James Gunn is taking a similar approach to what we saw from Henry Cavill's Superman (in the sense that Clark Kent's heat vision causes the skin around his eyes to glow as well). 

Still, we'd bet on this take on Heat Vision being more akin to lasers than the powerful blasts that emanated from the DCEU's Kryptonian. 

During a recent interview, Corenswet was asked about his DCU future and largely shrugged off the question. "I don't think it's up to me to answer that," he said, either unsure of what's next or playing coy. "It's up to James Gunn, who has a terrific imagination, and he is just there where they need [him] to be to say what was written, although that doesn't always happen."

Corenswet doesn't seem to be counting his chickens before they hatch, though we'd be shocked if he doesn't show up in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow next summer. A Lanterns cameo surely can't be discounted either. 

The actor has also addressed some of the inevitable complaints surrounding his being cast as the new Man of Tomorrow. "I like to grow and improve myself with criticism. I don’t take it personally," Corenswet said. "Quite the opposite, it’s a learning experience. And all actors must accept it as what it is in order to grow professionally."

He added, "James Gunn has a tremendous imagination. I’m only here to deliver the lines he’s written. It’s a very particular vision, spiced up with some wonderful elements and performances. I hope I measure up to it in the audience’s eyes."

Check out this new Superman action figure below and stay tuned for updates as we have them.

@NOID - The suit is absolute dogshit and everything I've seen from this movie so far has looked underwhelming. 😐

Why does the underwear have to be outside on top of the pants?
Just make that area of the pants red. Legs blue, crotch area red,
one fabric, simple.

@BisonScarBlood - I’ve seen some fan made drawings with your description. It’s hit or miss as far as the actual look working and might depend on the fabric used. I like the my adventures of Superman reasoning for having trunks where the suit comes from krypton but also from Ma Kent.

@BisonScarBlood - Also, who said they are underwear? Stop being culturally insensitive. Joking but On Krypto this could be important religious wear

Basically calling it underwear could be like calling a kilt a skirt.

Jfc..Mcfarlane makes terrible figures. Can't wait for Mattel to take over.

@CoHost - their WWE line is infinitely better than anything McF has done with DC. Besides the industry and technology has come a long way since the last time Mattel had the rights.

Like a whiter more handsome version of me in college big deal. No X-Ray vision though. Beer goggles? Possibly.
