Alright, so this is really only a thread to test a theory I have.
Starhawk has the "one who knows" power (PIS device), that essentially gives him a general cosmic awareness, and as a top tier energy/light manipulator in Marvel (plus the ability to scan individuals for weakness, etc), he should be able to exploit the red sunlight weakness Superman has for at least a slim majority over supes.
SH is fast enough to deal with any blitz Supes might try, has FTL reflexes and intangibility. I'll be straight and say, if the red sunlight thing doesn't work, supes takes a clear majority. However, I think it is totally reasonable that SH, if he doesn't know at the onset of the fight, learns very quickly that Supes has the red sun weakness, and is able to exploit it for probably 7/10 victories.
This might be the start in a series of threads where I try to prove SH is, at least, at the absolute top of the mid herald, if not high herald status. Don't hold your breath for the next ones, just saying. lol
Starhawk was good being able to stalemate Thor was pretty good, Superman I don't know a different beast. But if Starhawk uses his powers to the best of his abilities than he might have a chance of breaking even.
I'm not trying to advocate that SH is on the same level as Supes, just that his powers give him the ability to counter Supers almost directly. Like if there was a high meta character who just happened to have Kryptonite powers
Superman rubs his hands together and traps SH into an energy field if we're going by that route. Don't hold your breath in speed. Superman blitzes lightspeed and FTL characters regularly.
Behold superman trapping swamp thing's energy form. It was with X-rays though. I was remembering superman rubbing his hands together to seal a dimensional rift and palming a black hole.
I mixed two different feats here. I corrected that when I post the actual scan. Stop being so butthurt over anything I say.
If Starhawk gets to use weakness exploitation which I doubt he's ever done, why limit superman when he's done this electrical attack many time? Seriously dude?
Haha. Backtracking ftw.
so, your response to a question about whether Starhawk could use Superman's weakness to red sunlight is to post a one-off scan of a tactic you admit Superman wouldn't be able to use to defeat Starhawk.
No, I'm good on such a list... Do you have an actual opinion on the OP though?
what don't you think Starhawk has done?

doesn't this suggest Superman was Sun-amped when he performed the feat?
LOL, and Swamp Thing uses light to blind and defeat Superman... abhi, your scan shows just how well Starhawk could do against Supes, thanks, I didn't realize you were on my side here...
Well, I admitted starhawk would escape from that containment.
I don't see starhawk being able to down superman. His sole chance is weakness exploitation, but barring an extremely OOC tactic of red sunlight, I don't see it plausible. I have a question, does starhawk's default fighting mode is in energy form?
