If that was the case, when they fought, Superman should have been down with the first 2-3 punches.
Maybe Captain Marvel doing so well against Supes has something to do with his strength. Considering he and Superman are equal. As well as his durability. Considering that Cap's durability is argueably better than Supermans.
Superman nowadays is not as vunerable to magic as he once was, yet Cap still does just as good against him as he ever did.
Just to reply to some stuff i saw after...
"Now He-Man may not be a comic book hero "
He has been in comic books before. In different formats actually.
"Not quite, Pre-C Superman's powers constantly fluctuated.. Rather than this comparison in crossover, show some of He-Man's feats being on Superman's level"
And He-Man lifted and trew Grayskull castle to another dimension, trew another object int he recent cartoon to the sun, moved Eternia`s moon as well as the planet on another ocassion.
Hes much as inconsistant as precrisis Supes was.

Debatable. He Man is WAY stronger. I'm pretty sure Castle Greyskull is a conduit to another universe or something. He Man basically gets as strong as he needs to be. He's kinda like Hulk, but with necessity, as opposed to rage.
I'm leaning towards speed over power though. CM 6/10.
"Captain Marvel has powers from Four gods, Atlas, Herules, Zeus, Mercury. CM feats on same level as pre-crisis superman, and current superman also, CM has strength advantage, speed, durability, intelligence over He-Man."
You are underrating He-man here.
Both -have- precrisis level feats and combat showings. Marvel has the lighting but otoh He-Man has the sword that gives him alot more versability. Hes fast enough to tangle with Kal as it was show and its more skilled.
I see one being more faster and durable and another being more versatible and skilled.
What i honestly dont see at all its a difference in strenght. If anything He-Man has one or two more ridiculous strenght feats than Marvel.
The main issue is that, if Marvel is smart he'll use his speed to stay the hell away from He-Man. HM might have the strength advantage (and I'd be one of the ones who says he definitely does have that advantage) and the sword might even absorb Marvel's lightning. But superspeed will be Adam's fall in this fight. Marvel wins.

P.S. He-Man's strength usually fluctuates as well because that's its nature (he draws from an external source that can make him stronger as needed), so his feats can be misleading. Though he did once chuck a small-moon-sized meteor thing into orbit...that's about the only major feat I know of besides stalemating Pre-Crisis Supes. Can't confirm it with an issue # unfortunately, but I've seen it.
He-Man
He-Man has the equivocal endurance, resistance to injury, and strength of a god. He-Man also has an indestructible Sword of Power that can project mystical energy and open inter-dimensional gateways.
He-Man has no vulnerabilities, whereas Captain Marvel can be reverted back to Billy Batson by ordinary lightning.
