LOL.
Being 'weak!'
That is a statement worthy of someone like W8888 not you.
And a win is a win.
It would be like the US applying economic sanctions on some nation (call it Banana Republic), and totally messing it up economically, and at the same time the US using covert agents (read:CIA) to rouse the rabble in Banana Republic and cause dissent within the populace; with the idea being that the mix of economic upheaval and internal schism will lead to political change.
Something that happened a lot in the 50s and 60s courtesy of our boys at Langley.
Anyways, the US does that, and the nation being targeted collapses (in that the economy and the political hegemon is destroyed, and thus new 'pro-American' leadership is instituted in the Banana Republic).
BUT then you see the deposed leaders start to say that the US was 'weak' because it didn't use military force and whatnot.
Yet the fact is that the US defeated the nation without firing a single shot, without losing a single American life, and managed to get rid of the older leadership and institute new leaders who are basically puppets of the US government. This sort of thing happened a lot (especially in South American and some parts of Africa and the mid-East) in the 50s and 60s, and part of the 70s.
Was it a military victory?
No.
Was it a victory?
Yes.
A victory is a victory.
This is the same thing.
You say Superman is weak because he blew away the entire planet, and Juggernaut with it, into a black hole.
If that is weak I'd love to see what strong is.
PRe-Crisis Superman wouldn't have to do anything to Juggernaut ....he would win simply by BLOWING.
From Pluto!
Tell me ONE way Classical Juggernaut could beat Pre-Crisis Superman (oh, and assume that Pre-Crisis Superman is NOT stupid .....PRe-Crisis S was a genius, thus he will not do anything foolish like walking up to Juggernaut and laying on the ground asking for a foot stomp).
Superman is simply too varied for Juggernaut.
PRe-C Superman wins.
