Is Superman above the top tier?
Really?
I mean, chances are hes beaten or stalemated your favorite character from DC, so long as its another hero.
His average from 99 to present has been pretty high, due to cockstroke, i mean Jeph Loeb writing.
He's been shown as probably the most competent hero in DC, next to Batman, Robin and the other Batbooks(Nightwing not included).
Do you think he's above the top tier?
Even if you don't feel its true, could you see how some might come to that conclusion?
All mainstream companies are game.

Superman has, and always will have that all mighty plot device behind him. Is it really even possible for him to loose?
In DC I really dont see anyone under Spectre being able to beat Supes lol

superman is the superheroes hero, he fights to save people as well as other heroes, and to answer the question, he sort of dips between top tier to higher levels, when the moment strikes anyway, then he comes back down to top tier... that's about it

Sure, doesn't make them right but sure. Every top tier has above top tier feats. That's part of what it means to be top tier. They're the best of the best and in certain situations can do what nobody else can.

I think that we too often ignore the (very) occasional bad showings he has. Captain Marvel has equaled him, Hal has beaten him. Plenty of team-wreckers show up and Supes can't just plot-device his way through it (Darkseid being an unfortunate exception).
The jobber aura remains, but I think the embellishment-loving culture we have here on KMC has allowed us to aim a bit too much criticism at DC for their portrayal of Kal. He's supposed to be an unequaled brawler....so occasionally it's just him being written to form, though I won't deny that the shoddy writing and PIS still exist far too much.

-Heres God-
-Heres Supes-
-Heres where the rest of DC continuity starts-
Supes is all DC earth really has, IMO this is why he will never be truly beaten..... which is crap!

Too true. Listen to guys here and Superman has never had a bad day in life or if he has, theres a million excuses for it.

The primary one being the fact that since the characters are fighting to the best of their abilities, that means that NO low showings count.
