People pick up comics but dont read them. Cannonball didnt beat gladiator, gladiator told cannonball that he was going to punch him to the sun and out of fear cannonball summoned a new power that allowed him to absorb gladiator punch and send it back to him. After the hit was connected gladiator got up just fine. Another argument that you all are using is that superman will take the fork off of black bolts head, that would be a bad thing to do since that is what controls his power ( the scream). If superman takes the fork off, kiss him and the city and other cities goodbye. Heat vison isnt working on black bolt the guy has a shield that deflect that kind of power. Superman will give him a run for his money but black bolt has to many powers at his disposal, this is a fight that superman will hate with his sensitive ears. Blackbolt hasnt lost a battle, he has fought gods and some of marvels most powerful people and he always come out on top. I cant see superman winning this, i can actually see blackbolt taking superman place on the jla after he kills him.
I think that the electron power that he shoots from his head would be to much for superman, it would literally destroy him. I hope superman dont think of just jumping in there fighting black bolt hand to hand because blackbolt fighting style is to great for superman ( who has problems with batman) and the masterblow will knock the crap out of him. I went to the book store yesterday and picked up a superman comic, and superman was just cut up and bleeding out the mouth, had a black eye and was getting slaughtered.
That happens in about all of his comics, superman isnt nothing these days ral ul, batman foe stabbed the guy in the chest, superman use to be super now he aint nothing but a punching bag and in this fight he will be black bolts punching bag.
I think it will go like this:
superman sees a guy in a costume just flying around and its blackbolt, who's looking for other members of his team. Superman stops him to ask questions but black dont have time to listen and he punches superman into a building. Superman mad, gets up and flies up to blackbolt making threats and asking him why isnt he saying anything. Superman seeing him as a threat charges him and punches him in the chest. An enraged blackbolt who tries to end the fight fast gets up and use his electron blast, which causes superman pain. He continues to use it and continues but superman will is keeping him from passing out. Superman gets on his feet while blackbolt continues blasting him. Superman flies slowly toward blackbolt (while still getting blast). Superman starts to feel dissy but he flies closer and closer. Black thinking about his fellow friends, wanting to know are they in trouble because he hasnt seen any of them in a while, gets tired of superman struggle and hits him right in the face with his master blow. when superman hits the ground like a meteor, blackbolt stays in the air gazing down at superman body. He sees superman finger move then he see superman trying to lift himself off the ground with both arms. Blackbolt in shock thinks i never had to use so much power on one guy, this man will power is tremendous. He fly down toward superman, grabs his head and whisper in his ear and say you were a formadable foe. Superman falls to the ground not knowing what hit him. Blackbolt flies off looking for his teammates.
