Is Superman Unstoppable?

I was debating with this kid the other day who said that Superman was pretty much unbeatable. Here was his evidence:

Superman can lift an INFINITE amount of weight (see the comic where Superman and Captain Marvel lifted a book with infinite pages).

He said the modern incarnation of Superman was pretty much immune to Kryptonite.

Well, here's the full quote:

Superman has literally lifted infinite weight, taken part of an explosion equal to about 50 supernovas while under the influence of a red sun AND having been hit by multiple energy beams with red solar energy, flying at thousands or more times the speed of light(seriously, flown a distance that'd take light a couple hours to travel in seconds, flown a distance of over 20 lightyears in minutes, and appears to have flown more than 2 lightyears in seconds), and more. And they've been going back to giving Superman obscure powers to pull-out when the plot requires, but not to the extent they did with Silver Age Superman. Or as many stupid powers("Super-Ventriloquism," "Super-Hypnosis," "Super-Math," "Super-Weaving" and no I'm not kidding. Only stupid obscure power they've given Superman lately was the ability to induce sleep in himself, and that's not as silly as "Super-Weaving."wink

My question, is there ANY HERO (Thor, Silver Surfer, anyone) who has any chance against Superman?

cdtm
Surprised he didn't mention the flight to Oa and Mogo from Infinite Crisis.

That's half the universe right there, if he flew the entire thing.

The thing is, haven't Supermans limits been established, making examples where he breaks them without explanation pretty much PIS? (I know in Panic in the Sky, he outright claimed he can't go after Brainiacs ship without a GL's capabilities, believing he can't just zip through the universe like they can.)

Now, while I grant he's had an upgrade, being able to fly to Oa in seconds seems a little excessive.. That's blatent pre crisis stuff there.

Who only Morrison?

Although if Morrison didn't have Superman moving planets without help or seriously make him show off universe crossing super speed, that says something. Morrison is the Feat Master.

His fanboys think so.

Because Morrison is the best DC has to offer.

PIS is great isn't it? Yeah it also helps to be DC's most Iconic money making character.

I guess any herald level character can sound uber if you choose to only look at the best one time feats. Anyway there are many characters Heros and villians that can beat supes.

Superman haters: That's PIS!!!!111

Normal people: He's done similar feats many times since DOS.

Superman haters: He shouldn't be able to do those feats!!!111

Normal people: I guess all the writers and DC disagree. Superman being continually shown at high levels makes him that powerful.

Supes punches through that dimension and flees. Since there is no BFR, it doesnt count as a lost while Juggs is stuck there.

Ahh well I guess there will always be some disagreements. So bada you don't think the actioned mentioned in the OP had anything to do with PIS and in fact just his normal modus operandi?

Not saying every amzing thing hes done is PIS just the more crazy outlandish crap.

Bat u know what this is a old tired debate about supes of what ppl think he can do and what he can't do. Every Characters has their moments its just that we maybe should assume he can just do that all the times. Because like there are high showings there are also low showings and we have to find some middle ground.

You're right. Thanos, RKT, Odin, the COIE Anti-Monitor, Trion Juggernaut, and Onslaught working in tandem might be able to take a few against him. biscuits

Morrison's awesome, but stuff like Astro City and Marvels ain't exactly chopped liver.

I thought Secret Identity was really good Superman material.

My question, is there ANY HERO (Thor, Silver Surfer, anyone) who has any chance against Superman? Superman can be beaten by WW (who has the battle speed, skills, and weapons to take him down), Flash, and possibly SS (but he must be fighting in the absolute best possible way). And these are just a couple of heralds beings that can beat him. HP DD can also beat him as well, assuming Superman doesn't bfr him to space.

A loooooooot of characters can stop him. He isn't even the top dog of the high herald weight class.

Superman cannot lift infinite amount of weight... That's the first problem with the kid.

Second Superman is not immune to Kryptonite... There has been times where he is not effected that much by it but it all depends on the writer...But even in recent times Krptonite can be very deadly.

Superman is almost unstoppable.

He would be if all characters were as strong as the Vision. They aren't, so he isn't.

Yeah, he only lifted half of an infinite amount of weight!

So, what's half of infinity? o_o

Wait didn't he just lift half the universe?

Methinks the writer don't know the meaning of infinite.

galan, you've made a few fallacies regarding the concept of infinity in recent days

1. infinite pages does not equal infinite if each page weighs nothing

2. being a book of magical nature, the laws of physics don't apply

so your assumption of that book being infinite weight is baseless

Hard to take those things at face value, considering it happened in a dimension where normal laws didn't apply.

That's why Superman and Anti Matter Ultraman merged instead of obliterating each other, and the element of "story" actually affected that reality.

no...never said the BOOK was weightless. Most books I know have covers. So even if the pages of an infinite paged book are weightless...the cover could've been insanely heavy. Wouldn't that be more logical than assuming Superman has INFINITE strength?

He merged them, but claimed the dimensions properties allowed it to happen.

"Here in Limbo, there is no material thing to be destroyed. Limbo is a living memory. That's why HERE; that's why US."

Therefore, feats performed in limbo are automatically suspect. There's simply no way to judge what's possible in a normal reality vs what's specific to that plane of existence..
