yes, Goku would own Superman unfortunatly.
Superman IS NOT invarnuable. he is to most things, but it IS stated that a nuclear blast would hurt him.
and let me explain that goku can generate a blast with the power of a nuclear explosion with one finger without blinking. that is non-super saiyan btw
as for goku not being able to destroy the sun? have you seen DBZ? Goku could, if he felt like it, destroy an entire solar system with his power, and thats only at Super Saiyan 2 level! (this is stated in the episode when Cell thretens to destroy the solar system while fighting Gohan, rather then just destroying the earth and since SSJ2 Goku is WAY stronger then cell...well...)
this is a no contest, Goku is faster, stronger, and i mean, hes like a God basically....
supes stands no chance at all
Goku normal- Supes can maybe fight with him, MAYBE
Super Saiyan Goku - Goku smaks supes around pretty badly
Super Saiyan 2 - Goku can basically laugh at supes and he will die
Super Saiyan 3 - I dont think Goku would even fight supes at this level since it'd be pointless
Super Saiyan 4 - bye bye Kal-El
Doomsday killed superman and he didnt even know the kamehame ha and ut took him weeks to get out of a hole in the ground. Goku can go super saijan and use all kinds off attacks. Superman would be spent, im sorry, i like Superman way more but there is no contest.
And people need to stop coming in and bagging on this poll, its a good poll and if you think its dumb, dont look at it!
I think Goku would beat Superman easily even in Saiyan form. Don't get me wrong, I like Superman and Goku the same amount (they are two of the coolest Heros). Goku's strength is only surpassed by his heart. Nobody has won against Goku in a long time. He was last defeated by Cell, but even Cell would not stand any more. Superman is pure of heart to, but he doesn't stand a chance. He might of had a small chance againts Goku at the power level Goku was when he fought Raditz, but all Superman would give Goku is a chance to test his powers out.
As for teen Clark Kent against Goku, Goku would easily whip Clark. Even if Clark fought against Goku with a power level when he fought Raditz, Clark would lose.

... alright.I understand that there is a band of people out there that make "____ vs Goku" threads... and I promised myself that I would never make an agrument in them as I have never watched Dragon Ball or any of the nature. However, since I am pretty much the Smallville Guru, I feel I am obligated.
Superman cannot die. Unless Goku somehow got a hold of Kryptonite (after somehow discovering Clarks weakness to) and utilized this, there would be no chance of a defeat. You have to bare in mind HE IS SUPERMAN. His powers are limited to his own imagination.
um, have you ever heard of doomsday? supes can sure as hell die, clark(smallville) vs goku (any form from dbz after the sayian sega) Clark is absolutly destroyed. Goku vs comic incarnations of supes: goku would be in for the fight of his life, my vote would actually be on supes (visit the Goku vs superman thread in the games verses section)
A whole bunch of you here talk about Goku as an almost invincible guy, but that's quite an inaccurate statement. The theory behind Dragonball series characters' powers is that their life energy (chi) exudes a protective barrier that allows them to shrug off bullets, explosions and energy blasts. That being said, the most powerful characters in DB, DBZ, and DBGT are all aliens, so if they can also train themselves to become stronger, why can't Clark? Just to be annoying, here's another thought: Clark could just fly away real quick, and while Goku can move quickly, he can only move at the speed of light while using his instant relocation technique, and while doing so can't really look around for him. After about 200 years or so, Clark can come back and kick open Goku's grave.
well, actually goku would be training in otherworld, but thats not the point.
yes, its true if you threw a sword at Goku it would cut him, bullets too. however he can use his own kai to counter energy attacks thats how they can withstand massive explosions and not have a scratch (which would render clarks heat vision completely useless.)
second, goku's flying speed is easily as fast as clarks, theres an episode where Gotenks (fusion of goten and trunks) flies around the world like 15 times in 3 seconds, and gotenks is only at super saiyan 1 so naturally goku being the most powerful in the universe could top that speed with ease.
third, sure clark might be able to work out his muscles and stuff to get stronger but its not the same for saiyans. they train to raise thier powerlevel, which in turn creates more strength etc. Clark isnt capable of this kinda advancement as far as we've seen.
the only thing i agree with is that pre-crisis supes would more then likley beat goku. although super saiyan 4 goku would put up a fight, no doubts there, but post-crisis, supes would get his ass handed too him by goku.

um i don't think chi energy protects the DBZs from getting tossed into the ground/mountains/buildings, the impact at that velocity even with a chi 'shield' would crush them if that is their only defense, they are just tough physically they use chi for flight and energy attacks, otherwise they wouldn't do strength training to strenghten their bodies
Sorry to go all technical on you, but chi stems from the amount of life force they have. Life force is determined by the amount of strength and stamina your physical body contains. Thus, training the body leads to a greater amount of chi. Power level is the measurement of chi. Also, I don't deny that Goku is probably in peak physical condition, but muscles can't really become strong enough to weather "getting tossed into the ground/mountains/buildings". And to be even more of a pain in the arse, comparitively speaking Clark should be marginally faster. Slower than the Flash (who can rip through time-space), but faster than pretty much everything else, which puts him above the speed of light (remember, he can go back in time). Goku, max. speed = 186000 miles/second. Close, but no cigar.
All right. Lets compare Goku's powers with Clark's powers.
1. Heat vision vs. Spirit bomb and such
Clark has heat vision. One Goku's powers is similar to his, but much powerful. Goku can shoot pure energy in different forms from his hands. So clark=tiny laser eyes and goku=superdestructive energy attacks.
2.Speed vs. Teleportaion
I think you get the idea of which is better
3. Strength
Superman would win in this area. I know because when i watch DBZ Goku gets knocked into cliffs and stuff, and it hurts him. If superman was thrown into the side of a cliff, it wouldn't hurt him at all.
4.Weaknesses
Clark can be killed by Kryptonite or can become powerless without a yellow sun. Goku's tail was cut off, so he has no unusual weakness.
5. Time and Place
Clark and Goku have the option of fighting anywhere in the universe. Clark is only powerful under a yellow sun, but when he is, he is much stronger than Goku. If they were not near a yellow sun, Clark wouldn't even have a fighting chance, it would be like lighting a baby's crib on fire while it is asleep. Now if they were somehow near the remnants of Krypton, if there were any chunks of Krypton floating around in space, Goku could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. So in this category, i'd say Goku has the upper hand.
I think that the victor of this battle would depend on time and place
