Let`s stop beating Sauron for a while.

Since there are different versions of Superman, we will take the most powerful.

Hmmm... Current Superman would lose hard. But in the days when he was most preposterous, this could actually be a real fight.

I've seen him lift up 100 trillion tonne weights in each hand, and make a cheesy comment along the lines of "phew, this is heavy even for me".

And he does stuff like time travel, and pushing around planets.

Super Saiyans though, casually explode planets, and tank blasts capable of doing the same with ease.

I'd have to agree with Selrahc--even a normal Saiyan is powerful enough to destroy a planet (Vegeta did it on the way to Earth, long before he learned how to go Super), which puts them orders of magnitude beyond Superman.

Yeah, Goku wins.

Superman should win... but no one beats the power creep of Dragonball.

I still give this to The Super Sayian, but its a heck of a lot closer...

Tanks are capable of easily destroying planets?

I know next to nothing about the DBZ universe, and I'm not a huge fan of DC so I don't know the upper limits of Superman's abilities, but I think people aren't giving Supes enough credit. Sure, Saiyans can easily destroy a planet, but I'm betting so can Silver Age Superman. We've just never seen him do it, since Superman wouldn't do such a thing. Don't forget, Superman has gone toe-to-toe with gods.

It depends on whether Saiyans can survive in space or not.

At various points in the series we see Goku putting on protective gear before going into space, and when Frieza blows up Namek, Goku treats this as something which will kill him regardless of his strength. It seems like this would indicate Goku needs to breathe and/or can't survive the void itself. But in one of the movies there were Saiyans flying around in space with no protection without harm. It's a mystery.

By all rights, Goku would win, but if I were writing it, Goku would come to town, He'd start messing stuff up, Superman would come in to stop him, they'd have a brutal battle where each gave as good as he got with Goku having the clear upper hand. Eventually Superman would realize there's no way he can win in a straight fight, and if pushed to it under desperate duress, Superman would tackle Goku into the upper stratosphere and hold his breath, so that the fight is taken out of Goku that way. Then he'd go to Batman, who would manipulate Goku's phobia of needles somehow to get him to stay put... or something.

Silver Age superman would use Super-hypnosis to put Goku to sleep.

Superman wins.

Edit: Because Silver Age Superman is a walking Deus Ex Machina. Super-hypnosis is one of his powers. It even functions through cameras and pictures, somehow. This is why people don't see through Kent's ridiculously bad disguise.

Since Eerie specifically said the most powerful version of Superman is available, that's it. Game Over. Everything else (even Gokuu) loses.

As in the MMORPG definition, the Tank is the one who soaks up damage.

Okay, that's true. Goku can probably take Superman, but Supes might still stand a chance against other Supersaiyans without the Instant transmission technique. If I were writing the comic, that's still the way I'd write it though.

Not quite, for that their flying capacity should be inferior to super but it is at least equal to then, and their strength must be somewhat inferior to him for then to be grappled and didn't scape, remember that the Z warriors are martial artist of highest level and super didn't show too much martial combat ability (at least not in some comics, movies, cartoon, etc) except punch very hard.

The problem with super? The writers give him too much power without too much thought, were Toriyama make the Z warriors power scale (shame he was forced to continue after Freeza arc) quite reasonably, but still somewhat ridiculous.

But want to win over super?

RP: "Hey Goku, that kriptonian baddie are comming to destroy earth!"
Goku: "Oh, then I must train harder!"
RP: "Well, actually, can you fight with him somewhere else? Like, two or three solar systems away?"
Goku: "Ahm.. sure, why not? Maybe Kaioh-sama know somewhere where we are not annoy anyone."
RP: "Yeah, and if he proves to be too much strong, try to go to somewhere with a red sun."
Goku: "Why?"
RP: "No reason."

Goku wins.

Superman has so many powers during the Silver Age that he makes Adam West's Bat-shark-repellent Batman look like an unprepared thug.

Personally, I'm not a big DBZ fan at all, so I am biased towards Superman. Particularly because the strength of superman is greatly questionable. He has been known to go off on mini-rants about how he always has to restrain his full power in fear of hurting innocent bystanders, and then punch people through the moon or something. Superman also once told someone something along the lines of "quite being a jerk or I'll destroy this planet, fly to a new one, and be their hero instead."

There is also the time Superman refracted his eye laser through a man's contact lens and gave him a lobotomy without melting the man's eye or brain. DC is very strange at times.

I've seen DBZ from Goku training with the catfish man up through the death of Freiza, and based on that, Superman would probably defeat Goku handily. Now, I understand that after that, the series turns into a crazy one-ups-manship fest of people becoming super-duper level omega saiyans and growing extra arms and I think one guy wrestles Thor and steals his lunch money or something, but I think that the fact that superman can technically reverse the rotation of the earth back to when Goku was a baby and then smash his skull works as a sufficient trump card.

Also, as mentioned, the fact that Goku arguably cannot survive in space, or is significantly weaker in space perhaps, and is therefore candidate to being thrown into the sun by a Superman that gets stronger and harder to escape as they get closer to it.

Of course, the argument could quickly degrade into who has better friends, because in all realism, Goku and Superman both have people they can call on. Goku has a significant advantage in the quality of his friends, but Superman can arguably out-man Goku ten fold. I saw a commercial for Justice League Unlimited, and I swear there must have been 100 guys on the screen. Granted, Gohan and Piccolo could turn Green Arrow and the Flash into pinatas, so its a question of quality vs quantity. Of course, this is not really a part of the main question and is probably ignorable.

In short, the winner is Batman.

Blue Paladin

Common, you are all being unfair... How come Superman would last seconds against a Goku ssj4?Because the OP specifically called for the strongest iteration of Superman.

There's a reason every serious vs. thread involving Superman excludes the Pre-Crisis version; otherwise, there's no contest. For those of you talking about the power creep of Dragon Ball, believe me. I know it. I watched it from Pilaf to Piccolo to Vegeta to Cell to Buu. Every episode, as it aired on the International Channel. I only sporadically caught episodes of GT, but I did watch fused-#17 and most of the Star-Dragon arc, and all the episodes with the One-Star-Dragon. I know exactly how uber Gokuu is.

It's not enough.

SSJ4 Gokuu fused with SSJ4 Vegeta is not strong enough to hurt Silver Age Superman. WWH Hulk fused with Sentry is not strong enough to hurt Silver Age Superman. Chuck Norris fused with Vin Diesel is not strong enough to hurt Silver Age Superman.

All other versions of Superman fused together might (emphasis on might) be able to match Silver Age Superman in terms of sheer strength (mostly due to the contribution of Superfriends Superman), but they lose to Silver Age Superman's Super-[insert any power here]. He is the embodiment of distilled, instant win.

And that's an understatement.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman#Silver.2FBronze_A ge_.28Pre-Crisis.29_Superman

Read this...

"He was immune to basically everything except for Kryptonite radiation and magic." - Or immune to anything that isn't a plot device.


"Superman's speed increased to the point where he could travel faster than light." - Alright, Sayians blow up planets. This guy blows up PHYSICS. I don't know how much energy SSWhatever Sayians can output, but I'd saying Superman being able to push planets combined with this would mean he has Matter Conversion bombs the size of, well, planets. And trust me, that's a *lot* more energy then any DBZ character ever put out.

"Writers of Superman experimented with new powers for the character. The abilities that proved popular became part of his regular repertoire, while others were discarded after a single use. In addition to his other super senses, Superman was occasionally shown as having highly-enhanced senses of touch and smell. " - Oh, and if the above list isn't enough, (Plot Invulnerability, Reliable Bending of Laws of Physics) he can gain any ability deemed neccessary to win any engagement.


Simply put, Silver Age Superman is Pun-Pun of DC comics.

Oh come on, it isn't as serious as all that. I know some people have their preferences really, but this is silly. You have to keep in mind that we're basically talking about a fight between a man in blue and red underwear, and screaming monkey-guy with shiny hair. I really don't think there is too much room feeling righteous on either side of the argument. Which isn't to say I can't appreciate monkey guys or people in underwear.

That said, I'm not sure. Superman's raw power is usually depicted as less, but he has also died fewer times. If you forced my hand, I'd say the golden monkey... but it isn't a sure bet.

"Infant child from a doomed planet is sent to Earth where he is adopted by a kind local. He gains superpowers from his environs (Earth's sun or Earth's moon, either way) and becomes a super-powered badass with the brains of a tackhammer." Okay, the last part isn't fair to post-Silver Age Superman, and Goku gets most of his super-powers directly from his alien heritage and training, but the similarities are there.

S=(undefined)Which happens to be, de facto, faster than light. Which of course means that Goku can return to his starting point on a round trip voyage before he left in certain frames of reference, which means he must be a very confused person, the poor soul.

Of course, Superman has had a number of adventures which strongly suggest that he can travel faster than light, simply because they had him travelling between a variety of different planets using (by all appearances) only his own innate flying abilities.

I'm not sure instant transmission abilities will help Goku much in and of themselves. They would allow him to flee if he were losing, certainly, but I'm not sure they'd help him to overcome Superman in direct combat.

Singling out Superman's reaction to kryptonite/magic is the same thing as singling out Gokuu's reaction to grabbing his tail/magic. It's meaningless in the versus context. Gokuu doesn't understand that shiny green rock hurts Superman; Superman doesn't know that grabbing the tail weakens Gokuu. Neither one knows any appreciable magic (although Superman does in fact know some arcane lore).

re: Shunkan Idou. Gokuu can teleport to a person whose ki he can sense. I have no idea if they made that clear in the English dub, so I'll excuse the lapse if you didn't realize that. It's why he teleported to Kaiou's planet with Cell; he had to lock on to Kaiou's ki first. If he could truly teleport anywhere, he could have sacrificed only himself and dragged Cell straight into the sun.

And to cover all the bases, it is true that Kibit had a better teleport, with no ki lock requirement but there is never any indication that Gokuu learns it (although Evil Buu apparently learns it). Every time Gokuu teleports, he uses the "standard" two fingers to the forehead version.

Setra: I believe the Modern Age Superman tops out at significantly less than the speed of light. He is considerably slower than the Flash, who routinely jogs at lightspeed.

However, we're not talking about Modern Age Superman. Silver Age Superman easily flies faster than light. He cruises to the center of the universe in a few hours, fast as any teleporting Green Lantern, and he's not even pushing himself.

Here's a random example of the absurd breadth of Silver Age Superman's power.

He pushes planets around with ease, rearranging a barren star system into an approximation of the solar system. Never mind the mind-boggling logistics of calculating proper stable orbits, because this next bit is even better. He proceeds to plow the dead planet, and grows crops on it. Out of nowhere. Seeds? Irrigation? Whatever. I use my Super-Farming power, and create life. Because he's Superman.

...Pre Crisis Superman? Oh ho, that /is/ a fight. I'm inclined to give it to Superman... blowing up planets is impressive, but Superman re-ignites Stars, which takes orders of magnitude more energy. Assuming, yes, he doesn't spontaneously generate some new and unheard of Super-power that automatically trumps Gokuu.

But I'm open to hearing some of Gokuu's equally ludicrous feats; I quit paying attention long before DBZ power creep could reach Pre-Crisis Superman.

I wouldn't really consider what Goku does magic, at all, though it's certainly extraordinary and impossible for a normal mortal.

Mind, I think I see where you're coming from, but it isn't magic, even within its own setting. Babidi does magic. What Roshi's sister, with the crystal ball, does is magic. Goku uses the martial arts.

You know, it doesn't have to be magic or kryptonite to hurt Supes. Didn't Doomsday or whomever essentially just beat him to death? All it takes is near-equivalent superstrength. The same has also defeated Goku, although it was usually a pyrrhic victory for his opponent (i.e. they were also dead).

Supes has flown through stars. That would completely anihilate any planet.

Seriously, Silver Age Superman is rediculous. One could probably make an argument that, in such a battle, Supes would just use his "super vision" to see Goku focusing his ki (nevermind logic-that never mattered to the Silver Age writers) and then use his hitherto unknown "super ki-focusing" abilities to do the same thing but better.

Or, failing that, use the fact that he can't be hurt by anything except kryptonite and magic (but still has a healing factor! :smalleek: ) and combine it with the fact that he never needs to eat, sleep, or breathe, and even if he doesn't land any punches, Goku would probably wear out before he scratched Supes much.

1- He entered into the star then left the other side?

2- Now we are starting to logicless like those writers....

3- Goku is extremely strong, he would probably reduce Superman to a lot of unconnect members.

When in his history he faced Chi abilities and didnt get hurt? None? When taking characters from different universes you cant use things like that because the other person abilities are from another universe.

You know, it doesn't have to be magic or kryptonite to hurt Supes. Didn't Doomsday or whomever essentially just beat him to death? All it takes is near-equivalent superstrength. The same has also defeated Goku, although it was usually a pyrrhic victory for his opponent (i.e. they were also dead).

Yes, Doomsday did beat Superman to a pulp, but that was in the '90's. We're talking about Silver Age Superman here.

Here's the reason why it "has" to be kryptonite or magic, at least in terms of the SA Man o' Steel.

Taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman#Silver.2FBronze_A ge_.28Pre-Crisis.29_Superman): "By the 1970's, Superman has a bio-electric aura that protects him from physical injury, he was able to withstand the explosion of nuclear weapons and fly unharmed through the core of a star. He was immune to basically everything except for Kryptonite radiation and magic."

Thank you for the page. Its the first time a extremely good point falls into my front.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_and_abilities_of_Superman#Silver.2FBronze_A ge_.28Pre-Crisis.29_Superman) "Superman's powers were negated if he entered an environment similar to that of Krypton, such as the bottle city of Kandor, or if he was exposed to the solar energy of a red sun."

You know guys, you talk a lot about his powers but not about his highest weakness?

Hey that just made me think about Goku getting hungry in the middle of the fight and leave to find somewhere to eat, find a Red star system and start to eat there, Superman stays close enough to look at Goku but far enough to not get affected. He thinks "Ill wait until him ends eating that he will probably come back", off course then Superman dies of old age(yes i know he is immortal but you already saw how much Goku can eat?)

It doesnt mean Goku cant go to a red star system(Especially if it has a "all you can eat" restaurant) and annoy Superman from there until he comes, you know Goku is great at annoying people.

Are you aware of the mass that he'd have to move? Even for DBZ, that's ludicrous.

More likely, he could use a kamehameha to pool-cue supes in the direction of a red star, rather than vice versa. Superman is only marginally immune to inertia, and he can be hit. Just not damaged, really.

Superman is pretty much a superhuman boy scout. If goku went to some red star planet, superman would shrug and go back to his job and life feeling that he has adequately prevented whatever problem he originally thought Goku posed.

Oh, another reason I feel Goku would lose: Goku would stay flying there talking or grunting or energy flexing (or whatever that crap is supposed to be) while everyone who is present goes "ohmigodhessostrongaaaayii!" in typical anime fashion. Meanwhile, Batman would come up with some sort of ingenius subsonic ki blocking emiter that would make Goku powerless. He'd then implant a kryptonite batarang in the back of Supes' head, then go to Metropolis and plow Lois Lane.

So, once again, the winner is Batman.

It has to do with running in a 10G ~ 100G environment. Starting crawling, and then running faster than a 100m world record (5.5s being the minimum standard), and then going to a 1G~1,5G~2G environment. That's were you have godlike speed.

Have you read Silver Age Batman? Or better yet, watched the cartoon version, who is probably more powerful, if significantly dumber.

Also: there's techniques that disable a limb by hitting pressure points, supposedly by blocking Chi (I think one of the Ginyus on DBZ can do it, and I'm sure a bad guy on Avatar can. I use those as examples because they're both shows who you can shoot Chi out your hands). Batman could take this, research it, and science it up to something that could disable Goku.

It doesn't matter though, because Supes could probably take a few Kamehamehas to the chest (or really, in this case, an arbitrarily large number, because it's Superdickery Supes, and he's immune to everything.)

By the way, I found a way to settle this topic once and for all:

Yes, in fact, he would. I'm sorry, but Silver Age Supes really was this retardedly brilliant and powerful. I can see where you're coming from with this; If he wasn't getting his deus ex machina, maybe he would be able to lose to Goku. But Silver Age Supes is nearly /defined/ by it.. I agree that it's definitely not a fair fight, and if it helps, I'd have to say that the modern age Supes would probably lose.. I'm pretty sure Darkseid and whatnot are lesser threats then Goku who've beaten him..

Goku really has just as much Deus Ex Machina as Silver Age Superman. Essentially, Superman defeats Goku with his Deus Ex Machina, Goku gets really angry and finds a new Super-Saiyan level (perhaps after Krillin is somehow slain), which he then uses to shamelessly own Superman, because the new super-saiyan level is always more powerful than what he's fighting. 1-1 record, in short. Victory defers to Piccolo on grounds of straight-up badass.

Actually, I think we have a winner there. That's exactly how the Dragonball crew would beat Superman.

It would require the supporting cast running around getting the Dragonballs while Goku fought Superman in a ridiculously protracted manner to distract him. It also assumes that Goku & Co. know about the red sun weakness, but Superman doesn't know about the Dragonballs (otherwise, he'd try to stop them and likely succeed). So it might not qualify for the argument.

He'd have a Super Hunch. Or use his Super-Intellect to decipher the plan of opponents he's not only never met, but has no clue about, and couldn't, by any means of the plausible imagination, deduce the intentions of.

They fight, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears, Superman kills Goku, Goku reappears.

I meant it averaged out to 1-1. They go through a process kinda like that about fifty times, with two-hundred filler episodes of talking about the process in-between.

I'd like to bring up the point that Piccolo is made out of kryptonite.
Exhibit A: He is green, like kryptonie. Grass, as kentucky has taught us, is not green, but blue. Therefore, being green, Piccolo is nonot grass, and thus is Kryptonie.
Exhibit B: Kryptonite is required to win against Superman, and Piccolo is made of win. Thus he must be made of kryptonite.
It cannot be denied. The great Veisu has spoken!

2007-12-12, 05:47 PM
Well...being familiar with both Supes at his prime, and Goku...I'd have to give this one to Goku, easily. The power creep in DBZ is just too absurd. At the beginning of the series, a character has the power to blow up an entire planet with very little effort. At this point that characters power level is registered to be about 20,000. Towards the end of the series Goku's power level was listed in the trillions.

Even being generous to Supes and putting Goku's power at 1 trillion means that he can blow up planets by using one 50 millionth of his power. He's passed up puny things like creating stars long long ago, and I just don't see how "super weaving" or "super farming" or whatever is going to help Supes overcome the sheer physical power disparity.

Edit: Also, Piccollo is apparently made out of kyptonite.

I was fine with leaving this topic dead, but since it's been brought back to the first page:


You do know that no matter what Goku always win, right?Do me a favor. Go find a copy of Cooler's Revenge. Note how many bad guys are killed by Gokuu, versus how many are killed by Piccolo. Now realize that Cooler didn't even die, and returns in the following movie, the aptly titled Return of Cooler. Which means Gokuu's contribution was exactly nothing.

You know what Gokuu accomplishes between Freeza and Buu? Nothing. Fails to destroy the cyborgs. Fails to stop Cell's advancement. Fails to defeat Cell. Needs everyone else's power in the whole universe to defeat Buu. Ever stop to think what would happen if 17 decided, "Nah, do it yourself." and didn't grant Gokuu his endless energy?

re: Anteros. From your description, I don't think you are as familiar with "Superman at his prime" as you say. Silver Age Superman makes life grow on a dead planet. He flies through space unaided. He time travels without Legion Time Bubbles or Flash's Treadmills. He crosses realities (to/from Earth-2) on a whim. Considering he can move planets around without those planets crumbling to pieces in his hands, he has considerably more than just brute strength going for him. This does not even touch on his mental abilities which are even more ridiculous. He is the master of every earthly science, and most (if not all) of Kryptonian science. He can hypnotize everyone who so much as looks at his photograph. This is the tip of the iceberg of Silver Age Superman.

re: lipe44's plan involving the other characters gathering the Dragon Balls. Neither Shenron nor Porunga have the ability to use their powers on beings more powerful than their creators without the consent of said beings. The Galaxy Dragon Balls (which have far fewer restrictions) were destroyed when Piccolo let himself die.

And there's at least 50% of the hypothetical fight that will never happen. Silver Age Superman doesn't kill. He's a total **** (http://www.superdickery.com), but he doesn't kill. However, he's fine with imprisoning people to a horrible (and occasionally eternal) punishment; you can argue that this is worse than death.


Goku really has just as much Deus Ex Machina as Silver Age Superman...the new super-saiyan level is always more powerful than what he's fighting.Hmm. Let's see.

SSJ > Freeza
SSJ2 = Perfect Cell
SSJ3 < Buu
SSJ4 < Baby Vegeta

That last one I haven't seen personally, and I got the info from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Saiyan#Super_Saiyan_4), stating SSJ4 "was first achieved by Son Goku when battling Baby Vegeta". It goes on to say Baby Vegeta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_%28Dragon_Ball%29) "far outpowered Goku at Super Saiyan 4".

I saw the other three personally, so I can actually talk about those.

SSJ - Gokuu is definitely stronger than Freeza. No contest there.

SSJ2 - Gokuu fought evenly with Perfect Cell for quite some time. However, Cell was tireless, and Gokuu knew he couldn't keep up the fight forever. I am generously calling this equal, even though Gokuu admitted that, given enough time, he would lose.

SSJ3 - Gokuu fought against Majin Buu and I honestly don't think he missed a single attack; every blow connected. Buu took no appreciable damage, bouncing back from whatever Gokuu did. Gokuu was forced to withdraw before his time ran out (and he would revert to the totally ineffective SSJ2).

A deus ex machina that works less than half the time? Not exactly worthy of the term.


You know, each time someone talk about Silver Age Superman i fell like losing my [IQ] a little more, is that normal?Yes. Because Silver Age Superman is so powerful. Absurdly powerful. Stupidly powerful. And people who argue against it can't seem to comprehend the magnitude of it. The Gokuu vs Superman argument has been around since the days of USENET. Every sane discussion has specifically excluded Silver Age Superman with good reason.


Goku teleports Superman to Heaven.

No Yellow Sun.

Goku wins.For Gokuu, Heaven is at the top of a staff on top of a tower. That's even closer to a yellow sun than almost anywhere else on Dragon World.


How come you can block vital energy? Its just... stupid... Um. Just about every fighter in Dragon Ball history has blocked ki blasts. By your own statement..?


Is this Silver Age Superman? Because if he is, I believe all our arguments for Supe winning were just nulled and voided.

http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/2.htmlYep, that's him. In fact, that's why I didn't even bring up the one way I thought Gokuu might win: a stupidity contest. Even Gokuu's moronic outlook pales in comparison to Silver Age Superman's Super-Stupidity. Anyway, math has no bearing on winning or losing... unless it's a math contest. In which case the "most powerful" version of Superman is (probably) Modern Age. Blame the OP for including that phrase.


Man, silver age superman wins because he are the second most broken character in DC (the first one is Lobo...Lobo was created long after the shift to Modern Age Superman. If you're basing Lobo's power off how "he can put a good fight to superman", you're looking at the wrong Superman. Silver Age Superman was orders of magnitude more powerful than Modern Age ever was.


Superman is only marginally immune to inertia, and he can be hit. Just not damaged, really.Sorry NOR, I know you Godwin'd yourself out of this thread, but I'm still pointing out:

Silver Age Superman is from (obviously) the Silver Age. Physics is not really a concern (unless you're writing for Green Lantern, in which case physics is bent to your will), and inertia can safely be ignored by Super-Fiat. For instance, you'd think a multi-ton wrecking ball swinging square into Supes would budge him at least a little. Nope, he stands there smiling as the ball crumbles to pieces off of his head. I vividly remember that picture from the Prankster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prankster) entry for Who's Who.

re: Following Gokuu to a red star system. Totally. Silver Age Superman is totally stupid enough to do that. He will probably discover a cache of blue kryptonite once there, restoring his powers. That's just how it works out for him. Probably his Super-Luck. Or, if he borrows writers from Silver Age Green Lantern, he'll use the last of his power to fly towards the red sun at relativistic speeds, blue-shifting its rays to yellow and therefore restoring his powers. (Yes, Green Lantern actually used this one, flying at relativistic speeds away from people who had stolen GL rings, and firing an energy beam back towards them which red-shifted down the spectrum to yellow, which the bandits had no power against. Give a Silver Age writer some science facts, and they will destroy logic with it. Yes, I have an issue with Green Lantern.)


He entered into the star then left the other side?Actually he's done this in Modern Age too... he went into the sun for 15000 years, and came out super-super-powered. And with the last Green Lantern ring delivered to him too. Man, just re-reading the blurb on Superman 1000000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_One_Million), it's power creep on the DBZ scale.

Also from Modern Age, at the end of Infinite Crisis both Kal-El and Kal-L went through a Red Sun Eater with Superboy-Prime. In one side, out the other. They survived a crash-landing-on/catch-by Mogo. Drained of power, but they (all three) survived.

These are versions who are less powerful than Silver Age Superman.


Now we are starting to logicless like those writers....Welcome to the Silver Age.


Goku is extremely strong, he would probably reduce Superman to a lot of unconnect members.Sorry, this one made me laugh out loud. Switch the words "Goku" and "Superman" and try to find an argument to refute it. "Superman is extremely strong; he would probably reduce Gokuu to a lot of disconnected limbs."


When in his history he faced Chi abilities and didnt get hurt? None?When in his Silver Age history has he faced anything (at full power) and did get hurt? None?

Try to understand that the Superman you think you know is not the Superman being discussed. Imagine the frustration you might feel when you are discussing this guy (http://torredekarin.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/goku-ssj4-31.jpg), and the person you're talking to keeps talking about this guy (http://www.kanzentai.com/guide/episode/db_son_goku.jpg) (the one who actually felt pain from regular bullets), or maybe even worse (http://www.jeuxmangas.net/IMG/jpg/songoku.jpg). That's the level of disconnect we're talking about.

Here's a crib sheet for future reference.
- Silver Age Superman
- Internet Chuck Norris
- D&D3.5 Pun Pun
- SSJ4
- Superfriends Superman is much stronger (physically) than SSJ4, but he's much much slower on a tactical scale. I'm willing to let him slide down the scale for that. Never mind that he can (and does) fly across the universe at whim, sometimes he can barely outrun a toy plane.
- SSJ3
- Pre-Crisis Superman is probably around here, in the SSJ2 to SSJ3 range
- SSJ2
- Modern Age Superman is arguably around here, in the SSJ to SSJ2 range
- Movie Superman is probably around here too. I mean, time manipulation. What's up with that?
- SSJ
- Diniverse Superman is pretty solidly down here. The Animated Series drags the average down, but Justice League Unlimited lifts it back up. You can argue whichever way you like.
- Freeza

About SSJ4 being much weaker than Baby Vegeta, its not near the truth. Goku was easily winning then he transformed into SSJ4 with the help of a machine that recovered him completely and raised his power a lot, to the point that before he was nothing compared to after. Then goku started losing. But as we all know at the end he won and when bebi tried to flee with his spaceship we got throwed at the Sun...

Did you saw the last episodes of DBGT? Goku once more saved the day after having being beaten to death like 10 times and after killing the dragonballs guys, then beating the one-star guy. Then beating him with all dragonballs, then removing the dragonballs, then beating him again with all dragonballs then preventing him from getting one of the dragonballs back THEN he started losing but soon killed him...

Anyway i got bored of you taking all works done at that age and adding them. From now on we will be taking DragonBall AF goku ssj5. When he transformed the planet he was in got destroyed without him doing nothing just by his presence the planet exploded. Now beat that.
