Literary Critique of Matter Ingestion
Since this list focuses on superpowers as plot devices above and beyond an in-universe perspective, I also include interesting plots involving eating and characters with interesting diets in this article. Matter-Lad (DC) has this power and this is his only superpower. Superman (DC) had better pray Matter-Lad never becomes a zombie.
Matter Lad goes insane after eating the Miracle Machine in Legion of Super-Heroes V1 #251.
The Shi’ar Imperial Guard Glom (Marvel) is a pastiche of Matter-Lad and Slimer (Ghostbusters).
In Action Comics V1 #454, Superman eats a zillion hamburgers.
In New Super-Man #5 (DC), the New Super-Man eats a lot of Chinese food. Will he be hungry an hour later?
Superman eats Kryptonite in the Sandman Saga (Superman V1 #233).
Doctor Odd ingests an enemy in Pantheon #12 (Lone Star Press).
