    Into the atmosphere, not into space or orbit. 500 miles downwind is gonna have a wooden cross kill someone.

      You’re not far off. This is from the series where Superman has to fight a bunch of vampires - including a giant one. Think Attack On Titans but a vampire instead, even the Man of Steel is struggling. This is a panel near the end, right before he defeats them.

      There’s a funny bit earlier on in the series where Superman misunderstands vampires’ weaknesses while in Brazil and tries (and fails) to kill him with Chris The Redeemer.

        This is why I never read comics.

      With Superman’s strength, I’d be surprised to even see any dust after the cross is ripped apart by air resistance.

      Maybe he threw the cross up so it burned up on exit or re-entry. It would take bit of skill to throw a cross strong enough to burn up, instead of just returning to earth safely or escaping the gravity well. I bet Supes spends his spare time throwing crosses into the atmosphere like others might skip rocks across a pond…

        Now Superman is burning crosses.
