Unlike Mr Mind post, the Kryptonian vs Sayans the abilities are somewhat different. Kryptonians, Martians & Eternals have very similar abities. lets look at the plus & minus.

Kryptonians- will have the easiest time developing their powers and of the 3 races will have them at the highest lvl.

weakness: Kryptonite & magic

Martians- simply put are the swiss army knife version of the superhero community, think of a power the probably have it in spades.

weakness: Fire, the easiest substance to get in any universe. DC, Marvel or real
world.

Eternals-they potentially can equal even surpass a Martian in the number of powers, but you have to spend time to develop your powers. Otherwise you're basically a low tier superhero.

weakness: It takes them several hundred yrs of training to become very powerful if not thousands of yrs. This is the main reason which tend to makes them specialist which doesn't take as much time. They tend to be either super-strong, super-fast or have incredible transmutative abilities or TP. Thanos, Ikaris, Makkari and for a little while Hyperion are considered Eternals which gives some measuring stick of their potentials. Hyperion is the only 1 who became powerful in less than several hundred yrs but IIRC Marvel reconnected the fact that he was an Eternal from an alternate Universe away.

I'd rather be an eternal kryptonian that lives on Mars.

Martian, because shape shifting.

Shape shifting and TP seals the deal for me.
Intangibility is the counter for fire.
In the real world I can just mind rape everyone.
I would .... all the pretty women I want.

Eternal. You never get sick, you never get old, you never die. I don't even care about their other powers. That seals the deal.

I'd rather be Mr Mind.

This is how most of you would use a Martian's powers:

IIRC Eternals do get old like the Asgardians it just takes them thousands of yrs, as for disease the Etenals do get disease called Mahd Wyry which drives them mad. Once you get that disease other Eternals must kill you to stop you from spreading to other Eternals.

Finally while it varies by some writers over all Kryptonians are effectively immortals as long as they have yellow sun radiation, even on Krypton the average lifespan was over 1000 yrs. As for disease SM is efffectively completely immune to all poison & disease as long as he's supercharged with solar radiation.

Scans? I call bullshit because in all my years of reading comics, I have never come across this, but I will reserve judgment.

Kryptonian's sometimes have decelerated ageing, but outside of rare instances such as Superman Prime (853rd century isn't anything in the grand scheme of things tbh), I don't recall many instances of them being immortal. I guess you can count Doomsday because he doesn't seem to age and he is of Krypton.

P.S. Asgardian's do not have eternal youth like Eternals, but they are immortal, in the sense that they live forever, and do not suffer from degenerative diseases. A lot like Saiyans in that regard.

Lol about the Oreo and the remark in tiny print. 😂

I no longer have my Eternal comics with me so I can't prove th old age function. But as for the disease here the link from Marvel database, https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Eternals_(Homo_immortalis)

I would prefer
1. Martian
2. Eternal
3. Kryptonian

Do all czarnians have lobo's abilities? I would prefer that over all other races, no racist

Martian_mind
Everyone here is acting like immortality is something Martians don't have. Post-crisis J'onn was over 235 million years old, and was still kicking well into the future.

Kryptonian
Though mostly because I think martian weakness to fire is inconvenience.I mean when I cooking,I really don't want to thinking what should I do to prevent I been hurted by fire

Eternal. Not only it gives me some Powers but I also get pants and something to do "develop more Powers".

Martian Manhunter is a full time jobber because he has too much freetime.
