No speed allowed, they just simply trade punches


No BFR

Who wins?

Kurse would splatter him eventually. And mods have already closed threads like this for spite:

Yet Superman is still shown having trouble with regular top tiers, whereas Kurse is shown as well beyond them

Unless you're claiming that only lifting feats matter, is that your claim?

1. Having trouble with regular top tiers doesn't prove physical strength since Superman holds back. Superman has shown to be on another level when he stops holding back.
2. The outcome of a fight doesn't always have any bearing on strength.
3. PIS exists in comics, in forums PIS does not exist.
4. Not all top tiers are equal.
5. Lifting feats aren't the only things that prove strength. Striking feats, pulling feats, etc. can prove strength.

What top tier has Kurse koed in one or a few shots to prove his strength?

IOW, you're going to ignore or call PIS on everything except his most impressive lifting feat.

In that case, Wonder-man is stronger than HP Doomsday.

Sometimes case 1 is correct sometimes 2 and so forth. I didn't claim that PIS always happens on everything. It's a combination. Superman can have trouble with a top tier for all the reasons I gave. PIS is just one case.

So again

By your logic, Wonder-man is stronger than HP Doomsday.

This is absolute spite...

Kurse was initially x2 the strength of Thor...

Thor put on his Belt of Strength to even the odds, then the Beyonder doubled Kurses strength once again making him x4 Thor (the Beyonder also increased Kurses durability; Thor with his Belt of Strength commented that Kurse was now shrugging off his attacks as if they were without force)...

Superman has absolutely no chance against this Monster trading punches...

Kurse brutally kills Superman 10/10...

Your reasoning suggests that Superman and Thor are peers in strength. Thus lies the faultiness of your conclusion.
Superman is at least several times stronger than Thor by feats. So Superman would be AT LEAST a peer to Kurse but mostly likely beyond him when letting loose.

Per your logic, the other feats could involve PIS, characters holding back., plus fights don't always have a bearing on strength. which means that lifting feats are superior.

Getting hit around doesn't mean you are weaker.

But other feats are good.

Right, which is why this board never has any arguments about whether or not a feat is PIS.

Why won't you compare feats?

There is blatant obvious PIS as well as borderline PIS. Members argue borderline PIS which is fine.

I'm referring to only blatant obvious PIS, nothing borderline.

Also Superman is stronger than Kurse because he is a lot stronger than Thor.

Since you dislike comparing lifting feats, we won't use any.

Now then, post strength feats for Superman that place him as "A lot stronger" than Thor.

You need to face facts, unless we're talking about Superman prime, Superman One Million, or Silver Age Superman, Thor is in Superman's league. I stand by what I said before, Kurse stomps Kal 10/10.

If you accept that Superman is a lot stronger than Thor then the conclusion follows since Kurse is only 4 times stronger than Thor.
If you believe that Superman is about the same or a little stronger then it makes sense for Kurse to be stronger. But sadly Superman is a lot stronger than Thor. Thus he is stronger than Kurse.

Originally posted by Silent Master

If two characters strong and one is 4 times stronger than the other then the weaker can go toe to toe with the stronger. In other words, one could be 4 times weaker than another character and still be able to go toe to toe with them.

Because of his feats. Superman holds back out of fear of killing. But when Superman lets loose he is on another level entirely. This has been shown and stated in comics. Superman has shown the strength of over 50 Earth weighs multiple times. With that type of strength, Superman can easily shatter worlds with a single blow provided he didn't hold back.

I would love to see scans of Superman lifting 50 earth weights.

I would also love to see a scan that proves that Superman is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar stronger than Thor.

They are not just pulling the Earth solo but but against both the Sun's gravity and Starbreaker's pull, both forces I DIDN'T ADD in the calculations as these would make the feat even greater.

h1a8

We know that it was more than that since the Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun and they moved the Earth a good portion of that distance, and it took a small amount of time to do. In other words, they accelerated the Earth a very large distance over a little time. This results in a large acceleration.

DarkSaint85
But where did this 1 mi/s^2 acceleration come from? Incidentally, I hope that's a typo, and you meant m, not mi...mixing SI and imperial units is a sin!!! A dirty sin!!!

If you assumed 0.1mi/s^2? Or 0.01? How many Earth weights does that equate to? You see how frail the argument now becomes? What if they were accelerating at 5 m/s^2?

My point, I guess, is that the comic didn't have strict numbers - nad you have applied strict numbers to it. The margin of error is way too high for us to hang our hats on it - all we can say is that they moved the Earth. Still a good feat, better than I can do, but don't use it as a hard yardstick. Comic writers don't have science degrees, they make mistakes (like the infamous Flash in North Korea incident).

I'm not going to go into the impossibility of applying real world physics to comic books but going by your explanation, has Thor (or Kurse for that matter) ever been put in a similar situation and faltered?

Yeah....but this sentence:



I'll break it down, oldskool style.


Is the Earth about 93 million miles? Yes. Factchecked.
'they moved the Earth a good portion of that distance'. A good portion? Proof?

'it took a small amount of time'. Did it? Proof?

Silent Master
I can show strongmen pulling airplanes or helicopters, but that doesn't mean they can lift them.

DarkSaint85
Then of course, there's the issue where WW, MM AND Superman, together, were unable to pull the Earth and failed.

Of course, you could argue that they were still weak from being dead, but Superman was at full strength.

Originally posted by Silent Master

A lift is a pull against gravity which is harder than a lateral pull if the coefficient of friction is less than 1. But the calculation shows that Superman supplied a force sufficient to lift more than 50 Earth weights against the gravity of Earth.

If you read the comic, it shows that Starbreaker managed to move the Earth significantly close to Sun. His plan was to move it into the Sun.
In comics, we use real time unless there is some indication of time not being real time. It took a matter of minutes for Superman and Hal to move the Earth back into place.

Seriously? You're using that argument of real time? This ain't Hellblazer. Where does it say it took a matter of minutes? And then, how many minutes?

I am just trying to find out what your margin of error is. Is it 50 Earth weights+- 10 Earth weights (so a 20% margin of error)? +- 25 (so 50%)?

And yes, I have read it as well.

And yes, I have read it as well. Reading the comic gives us a good sense of a matter of minutes. Usually there would be clues or indication that more time has passed than real time. But since no indication was given AND dialogue was constant then we must assume real time. But the calculation was actually 82 Earth weights. I used 50 (which is a much smaller number) and I ignored the Sun's gravity along with Starbreaker's pull. The actual number could be easily over 100 Earth weights. I'm just using modest numbers though.

Bottomline: When Superman lets loose then he is always shown to be on a different level physically. The whole JL regards him as the strongest being on the planet. And that's saying a lot. I would put Kurse above average Savage Hulk but not necessarily above WWH in the strength dept.

Now if Superman was very close to Thor in strength then this fight would be a no brainer. But that's not the case. So it's a much better fight than most are giving it. At least say Kurse wins but it aint easy. That would be a lot better than saying Kurse spite stomps as this assumes that Superman is about equal to Thor.
