I have that poster on my wall. You're right he would kick everyone's ass he's a mix of Superman, and Batman.Cheesebob said:I believe we have a winner!BudZer said:
The Emperor is totally a super hero.
Now a fight between The Emperor, Superman and Goku.
That would be freaking amazing
Jimmy Olsen has, at one time, defeated a Kryptonite-suffering Superman.
For more conventional Supers, perhaps Thor using the full extent of his powers?
Apparently he only uses 30% of it most of the time. And even then, it's pretty devestating.
Also (kind of a loophole here), Lex Luthor from Superman:Red Son, when he's an American scientist/hero, that manages to defeat Superman through one sentence.

Take your point but the debate is most powerful hero but 'who could beat superman'. Red Son is awesome on toast but not cannon, the defeat was very subjective.Geamo said:
Care to be a bit more specific? The Dark Knight Returns has him narrowly get one over on Superman (who was massively weakened) with the help of the Green Arrow and Robin. Hush, well he just stays alive long enough to not die. Red Son: not cannon (at all) but awesome, relies on a very specific set of circumstances and he had direct help from Luthor.Island said:
Thanos is not a superhero.Draculafreak said:
Deadpool is badass but Superman is stronger and faster. Also Deadpool is aware of his existence in comic books and therefore that aware that in a Superman vs. him fight he couldn't possible win for reasons of fame, fandom, etc.
Well, you can't really trump Silver Age Supes. That was the reason behind his John Byrne revamp (too bad John Byrne ruined said canon. I was all for him being less powerful, but the cold, emotionless Krypton, the "birthing matrix", and Clark creating the "S" for need of a symbol, essentially making him vain as well? No thanks. I was so grateful when Mark Waid revamped it with Birthright, a much better retelling in my eyes). After all, what challenge was there left for him in his, or any other universe? That's also why Superboy Prime became so formidable in later years, because he wasn't effected by the revamps, and still retained the silver age power levels.rossatdi said:
It could be argued that the Hulk would stand a chance, depending on who was writing him. After all, there is no real limit to his strength. The more angry the creature becomes, the stronger he gets. After all, Superman would never kill the Hulk, knowing there was a human in there with no control, and the more they fought the more angry Hulk would get, and he might eventually catch up to Superman, should the fight continue, and Superman couldn't find a way to end it quickly.
Tis true. Most telepaths have trouble with Superman because his brain isn't wired the way humans' are. I don't remember reading about the mental conditioning, but that could be, and I don't think it would take much for Supes to be nearly unreadable to most human telepaths.coxafloppin said:
I gotta go with Goku. Your argument that he was only looking for a stronger opponent to become stronger himself only works half the time. Freiza, Garlic Jr., the Androids, Cell, and Buu were all opponents whom Goku fought in order to save the Earth/universe. He enjoys the fighting, but that does not make it his only reason for fighting. He is a superhero.
