Dynamic Strength......
Ok, so ive been reading alot of Superman lately (DOS to FC) & though i hate to admit it. He does possess a degree of dynamic strength.
Anywho my question is how great? If Clark takes the kid gloves off and deletes the mental blocks how far past ten can his strength gauge dial?
In this fight its Superman (pre-DCNU) vs Hulk (our resident dynamic powerset hero) in a test of strength only. Not a fight. Just who in the end will cap out first based on feats.
Superman is more likely to hit a hard limit first than hulk, imo. Though I would argue that Superman would increase in strength at a faster rate.
He'll still need to sundip eventually etc.
As far as how large a jump are we talking... Probably to the point where he's far stronger than all but the closest of his peers, and even then, those closest to him like say, Diana or Billy, would still be a notch below.
He would go to eleven just like ALL his equals. Going all out is not Dynamic strength. Superman's strength does not increase like hulks. Hulk gets stronger, superman, black adam, thor, captain marvel etc all just stop holding back and use their FULL strength and show what they can REALLY do. You can insert Black Adam in superman's place and it would be the same thing. There is NO comparison to Hulks TRUE dynamic strength. Superman would cap out in the first 10 seconds.
Never said he was but he does make a sound argument. Everything is debatable but using Hulk as a totem is just wrong since Superman has never shown he can amp anywhere close to what Hulk can.
Superman starts higher, unless we are using the Hulk that can go to WBH levels on a dime. Based off feats Superman is a hell of a lot stronger and Hulk would cap first (excluding WBH).
I disagree. Superman has been stated and shown to have mental blocks. It's part of his character. Hulk is a little similar as he doesn't really kill. Other characters performed better due to comic variability (and not because they had mental blocks at first) or just by learning how to beat someone more efficiently through trial and error.
Well he has gone with fighting against heralds to doing shit that requires more than 50 Earth weights of force. Remember, he doesn't kill and would naturally hold back his power in order to preserve life. We he is applying his might to a non living thing then he can easily release the mental blocks. For example, him benchpressing the Earth for 5 days, or him applying more than 50 Earth weights of force.
You could be right, but we'll see. All I know is that Superman doesn't kill and thus he has to have mental blocks in order not to accidentally kill someone. Superman does stupid shit when living things aren't involved but seems to have a limit when living things are involved.
Those mental blocks are in place to keep from going TOO far and hurting or killing NORMAL people or WEAKER foes. Superman is NOTHING like hulk. Superman is NOT the exception to the story, ALL super strong characters that care for innocents or life itself has a form of mental blocks to safeguard the people around them... BUT.... when they go up against someone that can take it or hand them their collective ass on a platter, they let loose and use their FULL strength and abilities. That goes for EVERY character that fits the bill, dont try and place superman in a class by himself in an attempt to elevate him above his peers using something that HAS been shown in EVERY character from Antman to Zoom. You are FAR smarter than that h1a8.
This applies to every character though...not just Superman. Thor, Surfer, Hulk, Hyperion, hell, even Cyclops hold back but when they unleash everything, the power display is completely different. That doesn't have a thing to do with dynamic, that's called 'letting loose'.
