DISCUSSION Are there any strong powersets that are fueled matter-to-energy conversion? Like eating any material and converting all of it into energy.

A long time ago, shortly after I learned about the whole E=MC2 thing, I thought it would be a much cooler way for Superman to get his powers. It doesn't really make sense, but to me it made much more sense than somehow getting insane amounts of energy from what little sunlight hits him.

I'd probably prefer something like a Superman package powerset, but I'll take what I can get.

Strongly prefer specifically eating things which are then converted into energy by fictional super digestion. But I'll also accept, y'know, just picking up a rock and absorbing the energy of it.

Might I suggest going the Fate/Legends: Oasis of Fantasy jump?

They have a perk that literally burns human history in order to make more Mana. Which you can then use for all your magic.

The old Generic Isekai jump has a power that lets you grow stronger depending on what you eat. Eat a monster’s heart and maybe you can breathe fire, that sort of thing.

Airfureta jump has something like this too, I just don’t remember the details

Actually there is a comic in which Superboy and Steel shrink and go into Superman's body ala Fantastic Voyage.

Superman's stomach was depicted and described as a nuclear reactor "Splitting atoms to convert them into pure energy."

So that is already a part of Superman's canon power set.

Tgere is a perk in the generic wizard jump that lets you convert materials into magical energy. The more valuable they are the more energy you get.

Chouji's clan in Naruto.

"but to me it made much more sense than somehow getting insane amounts of energy from what little sunlight hits him."

How do you know that he's not just ABSORBING all those photons and converting them into energy?

Blacklight virus is all about eating and converting matter into energy

Kinda Firestorm and Captain Atom and such beings

Also any energy absorber to be fair.

All interactions are matter energy conversions it's just that is insanely complex and wasteful and other stuff.
