Is Superman the ultimate Superhero?

Started by MattDay37 pages

Superman was mentioned in the first spiderman film, remember..."your not superman you know!"... quality i thought.

What about Spiderman ripping his shirt Superman style while running, i thought that was real weird. It didn't even look right.

I guess it went to show how influential Superman is when the most popular superhero in Marvel comics mimics Superman.

I see Superman in every Superhero.

Well, there was a Superman story where Superman took over the world. Lois Lane was the only person that kept him from going crazy about the problems he hears in the world with super hearing. When she died, he took over the world. Lois from another world or something like that was the only one who could make Superman see the wrong he was doing.

And about Superman having too much power and not going crazy, thats what makes him Super. He knows that with great power comes great responsibility. He's afraid to go all out because he knows somebody will get hurt or killed. In an issue with Wonder Woman, he was still lamenting over not being able to help the people who died in the Imperiex War. Someone like that doesn't just go crazy because he has a lot of power.

Oh, I'd pick Superman's powers over SM's anyday. Flying and super speed beats anything Spiderman has to offer.

I'm glad that they did write a story like that, because it's very possible. I think it's what the Supreme Power story in Marvel MAX was trying to get across. It's hard to be that powerful and not go nuts. Maybe for me, it seems like they're elevating Superman to a point that he doesn't deserve with the new movie. It seems like they're trying to make him look like a god, when all he's ever wanted it seems is to be human. Also, there's something about web-swinging and doing flips and all that stuff that just appeals to me. I also like the genius level intellect.

Superman is not the ultimate superhero. You have to be pure of heart and mind first of all. He isn't neither. He got drunk off his ass in Superman III and hurt a lot of innocent people. There are also numerous times in the comics where he goes BAD. The ultimate superhero can't have weaknesses. Superman has many. Green rocks and yellow suns to name a few. An ultimate superhero also would be an ultimate fighter. Superman can fight, but he a'nt no martial arts master nor has he dedicated his life to fighting and training and constantly becoming stronger and literally yearning for more and MORE. Ultimate superheros don't get defeated either. Superman got whupped by Doomsday. Ultimate superheros can destroy planets, solar systems. Superman can't do this. Superman is a GREAT superhero, and top 10 of all time.......but GOKU from DBZ is the ultimate superhero. He's more pure, he's way kinder and gentler and truly tries to show mercy to ALL of his enemies he faces. He is also a master of martial arts, moves at the speed of light, and has NO WEAKNESSES. He can also destroy a planet with a single blast. Can superman do this? No. Superman has a whole bunch more cooler powers(heat vision, ice breath, xray) but those would be negated and would have no effect in a match up. Superman is good. Goku is best.

It's a good thing the movie isn't cannon. As far as the comics are concerned, the only times I've seen Supes gone bad were alternate realities, which aren't cannon.

Kryptonite is still a weakness, but it doesn't paralyze him anymore. It would take a lot of kryptonite to put Superman down and even then, he would still keep going. He fought an army under 40x gravity under red sun and General Zod (Superman's physical equal) under a red sun.

It's your opinion, so I'll respect it.

There's no such thing as an unbeatable hero. Every hero has been defeated. Even Goku. And there is nothing wrong with Doomsday beating up Superman. He is physically superior to him. Oh, Pre-Crisis Superman sneezed away a galaxy. The magic powder did not enhace his sneezing power. Post-crisis can probably destroy a planet, but not a sun like he used to.

Goku without IT, cannot move at the speed of light. He has never shown that speed. If you think Goku is the ultimate, I have no problem with that. However, there are people that can beat him.

A Hero By Many

The character has his own personality and story but he is fiction and all he says comes from other minds not his. If you are smart you realize that he sounds funny. Another thing, when he handles heavy weights it is mostly incorrect by not grabbing the objects properly or keep them on balance.

Superman has a more purer heart and mind more than any other superhero..

Superheros, no matter how grand, have at least 1 weakness. Name one superhero or villain for that matter, that doesn't have a weakness. And the Sun's his weakness? It's what gives him life!

Why would Superman dedicate his life to training in a strategic way to harm people in a confrontation. Superman is a person who would rather take you in or stop you rather than go toe to toe with an enemy just for the hell of it.

The Ultimate superhero doesn't get defeated? Yet you call Goku ultimate? How many times has Goku had his ass handed to him on a silver platter? Probably a dozen times!

Ultimate Superheroes wouldn't even think of blowing up Planets and solar systems. Even though Superman could probably do it anyway. You don't know cause he's never tried because he won't even fathom it. It won't even cross his mind.

And Superman getting whooped by Doomsday? haha. Superman killed him too.

You either seriously lack knowledge or think Superman is just some pushover or just mad that the Man of Steel can defeat his ripped off Japanese clone version.

LOL...right.... Superman pure???? Are you kidding me? He got drunk off his ass in Superman III and hurt a lot of innocent people. There have also been many times in the comics he "went bad" And NO, Superman could not destroy a solar system or a planet for that matter. And he can't fight. You're gonna tell me if he was a master of fighting he wouldn't be that much better???? OF course he would. Goku being defeated a dozen times? Are you insane? HE HAS NEVER BEEN DEFEATED! Oh and also, he has NO WEAKNESSES. You wanted me to name a superhero or villian with no weaknesses. There you go. Majin Buu also had no weaknesses. There's two for you. These guys don't fall out b/c of a green rock or no yellow sun. They are beyond "handicaps"
You either serioulsy lack knowledge or think Goku is just some pushover or just mad that "the supersayian" can defeat his old "has been" weaker american version.

Goku defeated a dozen times..........PFFTT, that is the dumbest thing I've heard in the last 5 years.

Superman is the greatest and ultimate Superhero... duh

Jackie Chun/Master Roshi (21 Martial Arts Tournament)
General Tao (First time they fought, he easily beat Goku)
King Piccolo (Same as above)
Oozaru Vegeta (Goku had every bone broken at the end of the fight)
Frieza (He couldn't beat Frieza without turning Super Saiyan)
Perfect Cell (He gave up because he wasn't powerful enough)
Kid Buu (Buu just outlasted him)

Goku is not undefeated.

I think superman is a good role model for would be heroes but he is nowhere near the ultimate hero.

The ultimate hero is one who strives to always do whats right despite things being difficult despite facing many injuries and mountains on their way and despite having their own version of kryptonite shoved in their face 24/7.

Whereas superman fulfils none of this criteria as he is a fictional character.

yea true he is a fictional character... you nuggut, he said ultimate superhero, thanks for your misguided and unthought answer, yes he's the ultimate SUPERhero, not ultimate hero though as the last guy explained, but wrongly in the sense we arent talking about that.

Femi32, ok bud, lets try and str8en you out Ok?
You made a list of people that defeated Goku. Let's dissect that shall we.

Jackie Chun, General Tao, and King Piccolo. Dude are you serious. Goku was like 10 years old. Please...lol. Oh, and what was Superman doing at 10 years old? Saving the planet? I don't think so. LOL

Freiza: YOu said he couldn't beat Freiza without going Super. UHHHH....DUH! Thats why he went Super. Superman doesn't have the ability to raise his power level like that. Isn't DBZ just AWESOME!

Perfect Cell: You're wrong again. He stepped out of the fight b/c he wanted his son to win, not b/c he couldn't......God, I hate people who don't have the facts right.

Oozaru Vegeta: This was back when Goku's power level was like maybe 1/2 a percent of what it is now. And he didn't lose, Vegeta had his tail cut off by Yagairobi.

Kid Buu: No, he wiped Buus ass. He destroyed him at the end with a Spirit Bomb and then Buu came back as Ubb, b/c Buu CAN'T

---be destroyed anyway. So, try again. I'll be here all week. 😎

Goku defeated a dozen times......LMAO. You guys are seriously lost and must understand Superman is AWESOME!!!! but he isn't the best or the ultimate.

Besides, Superman will be dead soon. Isn't he getting old? What is he like 55? SuperSaiyans also age much much slower than kryptonians. Goku was transformed back into a kid, and can still go SSJ4. Just imagine in 20 years when he's as old as he was at the end of DBZ. And do you watch DBGT? OMG, these guys have ridiculous power. At the end when Goku swallows the 7 Dark dragon balls of the galaxy and takes in the celestial dragon into his body and reaches his all time high, he becomes the most powerful entity EVER. And just like I said, when he reaches this level, he probably would destroy atleast half of the DC characters..............OH YES, at the same time.

Once again, your all Hyped up on your own glorious view of your character...

He still lost to those people. A loss is a loss.

No, you're wrong. Goku was not powerful enough to beat Cell. Goku's whole plan relied on Gohan reaching SSJ2 because Goku knew he couldn't get powerful enough in time.

Goku still lost that fight fair and square. He was not moving at all while Vegeta kept fighting everyone else.

He did kill Buu, but in Buu outlasted Goku one on one. Goku is not undefeated.
