Pre Crisis Superman runs a gauntlet against some of the heaviest hitters of Marvel. He must fight ten of these guys in a 1 on 1 match (kinda like Diggstown) in one day with one hand tied behind his back. Bare knuckle brawling and physical strength only. Fighting takes place in Metropolis.
1. Silver Surfer (amped with Power Cosmic)
2. Wonderman
3. Juggernaut
4. Hulk
5. Hercules (non skyfather)
6. Sentry
7. Warrior's Madness Thor
8. Gladiator
9. Classic Drax
10. Thanos
shoulda contnued with
2. Wonderman (w/Ionic Powers)
3. Juggernaut (w/ Gem of Cyttorak)
4. Hulk (w/Gamma Radiation)
5. Hercules (w/being born as half man half god)
6. Sentry (w/Powers of Superman Ripoff)
and so on and so forth....
I agree, it is in a bad order. Keeping in mind that this is a MODERATELY powered Superman, he could handle Wonder Man, Hercules pretty easily. Drax, depending on whether he has the power gem and Gladiator would be tougher for a moderately powered Superman and could go either way. Gladiator would put up a great fight at first, but as the battle rages his confidence would begin to wane. As for Hulk, it depends on which one. Grey Hulk would be no problem, WWH is another story. Juggernaut, being the unstoppable force with unlimited stamina that he is, would be a drawn out fight until Superman ran out of energy, like what happened with Doomsday. Silver Surfer's power cosmic would be too much, especially with the ability to manipulate matter and energy. With the exception of Sentry this could possibly be the most one sided battle. Thanos, would be a very long and drawn out fight but I think the Mad Titan's ferocity, cunning, and and shear overall power would be too much. Mad Thor would be interesting but with Thor's strength and mystical hammer would be too much for someone that is weak against magic. Which leaves us with Sentry. This would be a very fun battle to see unfold in the pages of a comic book, but in the end Sentry would prevail. Superman is powerful, but not a million exploding suns powerful.
What? Moderately? Silver age characters' power levels were broken. Did you misread this?
One million exploding suns? Silver age superman snuffed out suns with his breath. He sneezed away solar systems. He literally juggled planets. He almost destroyed reality by flying so fast that the full powered specter had to stop him...
I'm not trying to be rude, but what exactly have these guys done that measures up to any of that? Give me each of their highest feats. Also, this is a fist fight? The reason I said comically was because it would be. He would probably say something that didnt make any sense, and then commence to winning. He outranks everyone on this list physically.
Im sorry you guys. Im really trying to make some good threads but I just started reading comic books a few months ago so it's going to take some time for me to make some good threads.
