It's an unknown threat... you pulled a Carver there....


As for the thread, Diana.

Either Hal, Billy or Diana, for mysterious threats.magic or science.

From the list, Diana

J'onn.
Superman's best when he has a strong leader to tell him what needs doing.

not on the list but should be.

on the list he'd take diana 9/10 imo.

It'd be interesting to see the circumstances under which Lobo would be the #1 pick. Actually, taking the question seriously, Lobo with cloning or regeneration ability would be an amazing ally if you were fighting a force of multitudes of powerful individuals and/or beings with weapons that could cut through literally anything. He'd be able to even the odds, all other things being equal, in a HURRY ...
I suddenly wonder, now that the memory of a Brave and the Bold team-up with Supergirl actually happened in Mark Waid's 2006-2008 arc, and the unique talent of Lobo was to track a man even through a magic maze designed to throw of all pursuers, and Lobo's senses actually enabled him to defeat that, if Lobo is of use against opponents with shape shifting, invisibility, and/ or telepathic shielding and/or telepathic confusion in their arsenal. With a way to defend himself and others against mind control, and the aforementioned cloning and regeneration abilities, Lobo would be THE goto choice for, say, a full-scale invasion of White Martians ...

but it's unknown and there is no one on that list he comes even close to trusting as much as he trusts diana. i'd say there is NO scenario he'd take lobo. he can't trust him. supes is all about trust.

Huh? No one that comes close to being trusted like Diana? I mean, yeah, they were together for a bit and all, but I'm not sure that would translate to this situation.

I'll go ahead and say either Hal or Barry.

Orion may be a dark horse pick in this. Orion seems to be bring out the warrior spirit in Clark.

Mark my words, DC will produce a story with a Superman/Lobo team-up as its premise ...

historically no other character save batman is trusted more than diana. recently it was revealed the 3 even have a secret code known only to the 3 of them in case 1 is in trouble. they aren't the trinity for nothing. imo this isn't even really close.

Lobo can be trusted to follow agreed to terms. He has some honor and his word is important to him.

What happens afterwards may be another story though.

Yes agreed but trust wouldn't be his only criteria.

Clark is great friends with Hal and Barry also and he may think their abilities are more all purpose in an unknown situation.

Carver.

Argues against him so much, and pops so many scans, he's probably a closet cultist.

Logically, Hal.

In a comic, it would be Diana, because 2017.

Hal's a good one.

But I prefer J'onz. He's essentially the professional second for mains.

Superman is also at his best when he needs to rescue J'onn from big bad.

Yeah, those who cant lead save those who can. Supes knows his role.

Batman

hal would be his second choice imo, and again, i'm not sure second would be very close. logically hal might be the best choice, but again, in character, diana would be the one and it's not like her abilities are insignificant. speed/strength/magic are good answers to most situations. /shrug

Yeah, I can certainly see where they might experience some friction later on ...

Yeah, Lobo always ends up getting his shit kicked in by Superman.

Always

Minus the times he didn't. But always is clearly the right word choice.

Oh right, one time mindcontrolled Superman must be the average.

Adventures of Superman annual 2 and 4? Superman man of steel 30? LEGION annual 1? LEGION 65? Superman/Lobo? Justice League vs Suicide Squad?

Every time Superman either beats Lobo down or makes a mockery out of him.

Not all mindcontrolled showings are the same. Eradicator turned Superman into kryptoninan mindset which at that time had no idea how to fight.

Eclipsed Superman was just bloodlusted Superman.

Anytime Superman goes against Lobo in right mind, he always beats the shit out of Lobo. Even his creator Keith Griffen had Superman beat the shit out of Lobo and only his healing factor helping him to stay in the fight.

Yeah, should've said anytime Superman knows how to fight, he kicks the shit out of Lobo.

Ahbi always up/down plays to favor a Superman debate.

Always.

Billy

Hes the most poweful guy after superman

Wonder Woman is the correct answer.

The people arguing that Superman generally prizes relationship more than sheer practicality are right. Nearly half of Nu52, for instance, showed Wonder Woman paired with him. She'd be first choice. She is both potential life partner AND trusted longtime friend.

By similar reasoning, however, Supergirl will be near the bottom of the list near Lobo.

This is not because Clark doesn't like or trust Kara.
Quite the contrary-- it's because as his "little cousin", Superman's desire is to "protect" Kara, even though she's more powerful than all but a handful here.

Hal Jordan gets the nod over all other Green Lanterns, but so MIGHT Barry, at least if flight is not an issue.

Orion, Guy Gardner, and Lobo end our list for fairly obvious reasons.


1. Diana Prince
2. Hal Jordan
3. J'onn J'onnz
4. Billy Batson
5. Barry Allen
6. John Stewart
7. Wally West
8. Kyle Rayner
9. Kara Zor-eL
10. Orion
11. Guy Gardner
12. Lobo
