I go by averages. So an average run-of-the-mill Superman is below a shitload of these arc specific or high end characters. Despero is a trans character (pre- DCU) he already beat Clark iirc straight up and wrecked versions of the league. People are gonna bitcch about CoC or bring up Supergirl but whateves...the we all have low showings.

WM Thor/WWH are in the same catergory. Im not so much basing it off feats as i am mindset.

Kurse/Destroyer speak for themselves


Now dont get me wrong. I realize current Superman is this new amalgamated DBZ fusion character who is a multiversal wrecking ball so no dont think im arguing against him

There is no such thing as Warrior Madness Thor. It's just berserker rage and he has never gained strength from it despite a throwaway line once in a comic.

Exactly. It has never provided Thor with a strength increase and he has fallen in warrior madness several times.

Even Zeus has fallen in warrior madness and he was restrained by Thor and She-hulk.

Its debateable. Thor has multiple showing of entering Warrior Madness that contradict that statement. Even some recently in Unworthy Thor.. so his argument is valid

In my defense Superman did duke it out with Prime (with help) and ended up winning. But I see why people would consider Prime stronger overall.

Meastro comes to mind as does casual Jane (with help) ownage, mjolnir palming and constant Odinson curbing. I can see an argument for the former since Cul is like Skyfather lite but not the latter. Come to think of it cant recall if it was Garm or Hela who delivered his beatdown....hmmm i will get back to you with scans momentarily.

An all out superman is the one who went from barely scratching doomsday to well..killing him.

A really good example is Nu 52 AC #1 and forward. His powers were progressing simply by willing it.

Im not arguing that. My vote for WM Thor being stronger than standard Supes is more along the lines of him not holding back as opposed to any particular feat.

What are your thoughts on U Thors, albeit brief. WM showings?

Vs Adam Warlock
Vs Hulk (Thor was artificially powered by Leader)
Vs BRB (BRB wasn't fighting back)

Vs Ymir and his army of frost giants plus the Dwarven army which included a Thor clone complete with his own Mjolnir. Warriors Three were there, but let's face it they wouldn't be much help against a skyfather.

He wrecked a skyfather, two armies, a clone created to kill Odin, and he was shaking Asgard all the way from another realm(Nidavellir).

There's no difference in normal superman or an all out superman. It's sad that people think that superman is the only character that starts to lose in the beginning and then win in the end. Superman is a high Herald whether he's sleeping or going all out. Every writer agrees with this. Superman can only get stronger with a sun amp. That's why he sundipps. If going all out gave him even a half strength boost, then it would be noted in writing. As in, the madder hulk gets, the stronger hulk gets or the more confident gladiator is the stronger and more powerful he becomes. Supermans strength had Been measured plenty of times by scientists. No where in any superman bios will you see dynamic strength. Hulk, yes... Gladiator, yes. Superman.. no.

That OWAW crap is what started this mess. An all out superman does not get any stronger. He has went all out against BA, CM an plenty others. When a character is said to be too even in strength with CM in narration, by the character himself, by writers and in writing, it proof positive. Dynamic strength is not all of a sudden going from losing to beating someone or something. If that was the case, then Spiderman dropped his mental blocks and went from meta to trans when he beat firelord. But you don't see his fans making such an absurd claim.

Firelord is pis tho. People need to negate is all together

Ok take Nu 52 supes for example. He went from only being able exceed previous limits by "willing" it.

There are other examples but u get the point. He doesnt have a no limits fallacy. But he does possess the ability to ramp up as needed

Have you actually READ a Superman comic in the past 20 yrs?

It has been DEFINITIVELY shown that his powers are connected to his mindset. Superman has nearly DIED because he THOUGHT he was human and had no powers.

If superman had dynamic strength, then why have writers increased and decreased his strength over a period of 50 some years? If a character has dynamic strength, then it would be pointless to even suggest it. Hulk strength comes from his mindset, can his strength be decreased??????? NO, he has dynamic strength. But drop the subject for now. Agree to disagree.

I'm going to sound mean here, and I recognise that, but I feel like what I say, needs to be said...

Ask your writer friends about the basic structure of storytelling, and how the example you just used has absolutely no relevance to whether Superman has dynamic strength or not.

Abhi is right on this but all terms and definition have some fluidity to them.

I believe Warrior Madness was supposed to be a state where he actually does become ten times as strong, but it's meaning has since been diluted to the point where it simply means "lost in the heat of battle" or some shit.

Like in his fight with maestro-huk, where he's spposedly in WM but completely level-headed 2 seconds after being BFR'd.

It was stated that he was more powerful as he evolved.

Him wanting to die doesn't has anything to do with how powerful it was.

Also it had Carol as captain marvel and referenced 616 characters.

I doubt they exist in the very first place tbh.

As for writer opinions, they mean literally nothing if not published in a comic story. I can imagine a lot of fanboys, haters and others who work for the "enemy" because DC or Marvel pays better than their fave company. Some writers are legitimate idiots who know nothing about the chars they write, one just has to look what Thanos has to endure. I can't see them as special people or gods at what they do, except if they create a greaat and memorable story, like Morrison.

There has never been a comic book ever published that has superman above CM or BA. They have always Been shown as equals with BA and CM having the advantage due to magic. If superman can increase his strength by dropping mental blocks or willing it, then arm wrestling CM to see who is stronger would be pointless for any writer. Every close loss for Superman would be due to mental blocks??? He couldn't get BA out of the city, why didn't he will himself stronger???? When flash was fighting Zoom, why didn't superman drop his mental blocks and help???? Why didn't he drop his mental blocks against that shadow moon??? Why didn't he drop them against prime????? Against HP doomsday, why didn't he drop his mental blocks instead of getting outside amps???? There are many characters as strong as or stronger than superman... But you will NEVER see in any comic book, narration, quotes, interviews, blogs, or anything saying that CM or BA is equal to superman UNTIL he wills or drop mental blocks to get stronger. Besides, superman himself said that he and CM are too close in strength to call. Now if you do the opposite and look for quotes, interviews, blogs and narrations that states that CM and BA is equal to superman or stronger characters... Guess what?? They are all over the place and in plenty of comics.

It is sad and funny as hell to see Mr. Pickles break down like this in every Superman thread laughing out loud

When superman and CM were arm wrestling an was trying to win, why didn't he will himself stronger or drop mental blocks to win? 2. Why would superman state on panel that he and marvel were too close in strength to call as they stalemated ? ( CM does not have dynamic strength) heck, let's go for three.. 3. Why does every character with dynamic strength gets it mentioned in their bios except superman? Know what? One more.. 4. Why does superman only have dynamic strength on KMC and it the same fans claiming it?

You're still lying, and asking questions that AREN'T RELEVANT TO THE POINT.

Jesus Christ, it's like you want me to keep repeating myself over and ****ing over.

He also pointed out that you all are using isolated instances vs 60+ years of the character. But to end this.. he said that the DD, HP DD fight would prove my point. Tell you later when he fax me.

I will feed it to you slowly, so that you understand it.
If you follow Supermans history like for example me, from PC days till more or less 2000+ it's obvious that he can drop his mental blocks.

Dynamic strength is what might cause you troubles. Or your interpretation of it. With Hulk it's easy, he starts at let's say 100 strength and with rage it increases till 1000 or so. With Superman it's different, his limits are unknown but from his history (if all out and if the threat was big enough) his strength is as big as the story requires, even limitless if necessary.
But let's roll with the 1000. Using always 1000 strength would most likely kill most people, so he learned to control it or better subconsciously block it. He doesn't even know his limits, as seen in DCnU. So he is using 200 out of those 1000. The threat becomes bigger, the mental pressure higher, the stakes greater and he "cuts loose" maybe to 400 maybe to 500 but it's enough or not to overcome an enemy, he might not even be fully aware how much there is left in him. In OWAW and FC he accessed more then ever before, as much as he did regularly in the PC days, which was enough to one shot trans to skyfather level Probes. The sundip is another boost he can use, he can access more strength faster, it's also a nice psychological thing if you read OWAW and against an Universal threat it's also better to not take any risks.

So dynamic might be the wrong word for it but that he cuts loose and that his limits are not known is a simple fact.

Against CM in armwrestling he will use the 200, his regular self, and be impressed doing his best. There is no danger.

Funny thing is Jurgens did say that Doomsday in HP was only as powerful as Superman but won due to Superman holding back.


DAN JURGENS: Yes. Right.
RC: Now, regarding Superman in Hunter/Prey , how do you account for Superman�s abysmal performance against Doomsday?
DAN JURGENS: I always said that when it came down to a knock-down, drag-out, kick-ass fight, that Superman was always limited by his
upbringing . In other words, if you take Superman and his upbringing, his moral code-the "governors" that put him in place to make him the decent human being that he is-and you take someone else who is raised, let�s say on Apokolips, and they are one nasty, mean-ass sonuva . . . even if they only have 95 percent of Superman�s power, they have the advantage in a drag-out fight to the death.
How many Superman stories did we read where he would be in a battle and it was presumed that he was going to die or lose or whatever, but somehow he outwits the opponent? It was never necessarily that he went absolutely nuts and beat him; and I think that�s what Superman needs in those moments.
RC: With that in mind, the question is begged . . . if Superman didn�t have to worry about other people and if he had cut loose in his first fight against Doomsday, would Superman have done better?
DAN JURGENS: Yeah.
RC: Which raises another question . . . were Superman and Doomsday roughly equivalent in terms of power in Hunter/Prey ?
DAN JURGENS: Yeah. Yeah.

That answer right there shows that you're either ignorant of the whole concept of dynamic strength, or you just don't understand it.

It's not that hard if you get over your own bias.

It's not that hard if you get over your own bias. That writer was talking about fighting style. Abhil actually hurt his argument by posting that. Superman fights like a human, not like a being on darkseid planet. That's the Subject. Same as mongul Jr told superman.. Distractions Rob you of victory. Those were the subjects. In other words, if superman fought like he was raised in the hood instead of a mansion, he would do better or possibly win.He didn't get any stronger, he just had to change his fighting style.

He would win because he would hold back less, and be more willing to access the higher levels of his powers. That's literally the point you're trying to twist to suit your argument.

John Byrne AND Dan Jurgens, for almost a decade, wrote Superman as being only really limited by himself and the needs of the storyline. And it's not some deep interpretation or subtle messaging; it's blatantly shown throughout the comics...

And then Grant ****ing Morrison came along.

Writers have consistently shown Superman as having dynamic strength. None of these "isolated incidents" you say they are.

Jurgens flat out says that Superman is equal to Doomsday in power but his "governors" hinder him.

Arguing with you is pointless anyway. You're just a spambot at this point.

"Butthurt".

"Butthurt". my god! U r right!
And here is a weird bit of trivia:

If u were to search every thread i have EVER created and every post i have EVER made in this forum, going back to the date i joined, you would see that I have NEVER used the term "Butthurt".

And, I have to admit that there have been many times that other users have utilized the term "Butthurt" and i have found it to b freaking hilarious!

And, I do realize the fact that, VERY OFTEN, abhi seems to experience the phenomenon known as "Butthurt", and it seems to bring me great pleasure every time I witness abhi in a state of "Butthurt".

So, u make a good point. I probably would have greatly benefited from a strong, fitting use of the term "Butthurt".

I know, for a fact, that I am enjoying it right now.

Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt Butthurt

Lets face it... it's good stuff!

I guess you don't know Superman's feats. Hint: They are greater than anything WWH or Planet Hulk has done and astronomically more than Thor has done. So WM Thor (no feats for him) is still weaker.
Destroyer and Kurse has no strength feats beyond Superman's either.

Planet Hulk while weakened shifted the tectonics plates of a planet that was splitting in half. The crazy part about it is, Planet Skaar was 10 times bigger than earth.

Superman has infinite strength, on every plane of existance and non existance across all fictions and realities. Even relative to infinite power, he surpasses all.

This is why he was able to rip a five dimensional being in half and kept resisting Emperor Joker after Spectre, Darkseid, and the Quintessence folded instantly, and it's why his essence was chosen to power the Thought Robot.
