Superman vs. New X-men

He could. However according to the premise. Superman is just gonna stand there stupidly and do nothing. For god's sake, even the most trace amount of kryponite has an adverse reaction to him. He won't just stand in krypto-rain like nothing's happening. He's completely underrating Superman's intelligence. Superman's super-genius. He builds stuff that would make Iron Man look like an amateur.

It's not just kryptonite rain, Beast has also set up red sunlight and krypton radiation signature emitters on the battle field. Basically, they set a trap that more than levels the playing field. He'd be bombarded with his weakness and in no condition to simply zip away.

what I don't get is how in comics red sun nullifies his powers. sure it does weaken him but I mean he has 30+ years of solar energy stored in him. He shouldn't be able to lose his powers that fast.

Well, I think it works by dampening his bio-matrix. Kinda how you can have a generator with 50 years worth of power stored, but an EMP would knock it out if it went off while the generator was active. Basically, Supes generator is always active, so even with his energy stores, the right frequency of energy/radiation can still short him out.

In his case, magic, kryptonite radiation, and red sun light rays.

first of all let me just say i hate superman

ok now x-men would win hella easy collosus can just hold superman while wolverine shanks the shit out of him andproffesor x can just make supermans mind think its dead and just have wolverien stab him to death superman is not all that and superman is slow the say he is hella fast n'shit but in the cartoon he gets his ass handed to him buy big slow people

And in the X-Men movie Wolverine got knocked with a bullet to the head...

Even if they hide behind a lead-lined fortress, Supes has his other super-senses to tell him where the mental emanations are coming from.

Also, don't think he's any slouch in the mental department either. Superman has been trained in Torquasm Rao, the Kryptonian Martial arts that emphasize fighting on a higher mental plane. He'd only have to resist Professor X and the White Queen for the scant moments it took him to HEAR THEIR BREATHING."

Please dont be ridiculous. How old are u? Please read some comics.

I'm old enough to know how to spell "you...."

There are pretty much three people who can beat Superman, and none of them are X-Men. Your arguments boil down to, "well if they had an anti-Superman ray they could beat Superman...." which hardly makes this a versus thread.

Even if they had a week, nothing in the X-Men's arsenal is going to stop Superman. If they had a fully manifested Pheonix, that would be a different story, but this team? Not a chance.

I take it you're 'anti-prep' Piedmon.

c'mon they would need more than a week to make all of that tech. Red sun generators. kryptonite rain.

They already have radiation/energy emitters, it's simply a matter of changing the frequencies. As for synthesizing kryptonite, that too has already been done, Beast just has to mimic the process and he has Shiar tech to work with. He could make enough in a week. Luthor is providing them with all the info they'd need to kill Supes, the acid rain attack is just an added possibility because the X-Men have a teammate that controls weather.

It's not like they could alter Cyke's beams to red sunlight by filtering it through a crystal prism other than ruby quarts or something like that...

but still with the tech they only have a remote chance of winning. he could speedblitz them out in .01milliseconds

Did he speed blitz Batman?

It's not in Supes character to go for the throat from the gate.

CIS.

Batman is made by the writers to win because well he's the Batman. nowadays they're making Supes seem like a wuss. bats knows supes even better than Luthor and Luthor is supes arch-enemy.

if he did he would win so much more.(refering to comment about throat and gate)

I know he 'should', but Supes is, well, for lack of a better term, a pussy. He should bust dudes heads in 1-3 panels, but he likes to 'talk things through' and handle things civil. I don't know if he's a victim of the feminist movement or just plain naive, but Supes character doesn't have a killer instinct unless properly provoked, and it takes a while to provoke him that far. To quote George Carlin, he's a victim of 'pussification'. It's just his character. He's noble, polite, good, wholesome:

and it sickens me. 😆

yeah imagine Batman in Supes body vs the Xmen that would would be overkill. he would have killed the xmen. no discussion.

Exactly. I agree with that 100%. Batman would move in and disable them before they could react if he had Supes powers and Bruce's mindset. That's in his (Bats) character. He has no problem fighting dirty, he just won't kill unless necessary.

Supes, on the other hand, would fly in and be like "You can't defeat me. I suggest you give up now" and let the X-Men BS him with stuff like explaining their cause or whatever without snappin' their necks, and that would be his downfall. It's 1 part over confidence in his powers and 3 parts of being raised a naive, wholesome country boy that sees the good in people and is 'pure of heart'. I'm surprised his costume isn't composed of sugar and spice.

X-Men win this. Superman is strong, but c'mon, you can't create a superhero that is completely invincible.

Being on a team does not = weak

Supes has a team...

And Supes is vulnerable to electricity as well as prep time.

Just ask Batman...

X-Men would win.

Cerebro does come in a portable size, you know, and Charles and/or Emma doesn't have to be on the battlefield to fight. They could quietly mindrape Supes from a basement and he'd never know.

They do have a week of prep and info of Supes in this scenario after all.

firstly, i never said it did...

and storm has nowhere near the amount of electricty as the whole metropolis grid...

lol, 3 people?? depends on what you mean by "people"... the X-men have some very powerful telepaths, which Superman is not strong against. and they have tons of prep time, enough time to create a hundred tons of kryptonite confetti, invite him to a party and dump it on him , or whatever.

if they had Jean, and she tapped into the Phoenix (she IS the most powerful avatar of the phoenix...), this would yea, be a different story, as in no story, just slaughter.
