"what if" superman runs the gauntlet

Couldn't Galactus just take away his power cosmic and all the radiation he's absorbed from the sun, leaving him with just the magic powers.

couldnt he protect himself from that with his magic pwoers??

Against Galactus? Not forever.

Plus I dunno if magic would really allow StrangeSupes to negate Galactus from taking BACK his own power.

It wouldn't. In the Fantastic Four animated series, here's the quote:
"Insolant worm! The Power Cosmic is mine to bestow, and mine to reclaim."
Basically, Galactus would eat StrangeSupes. He'd have him with a side order of Green Lantern and a Martian Manhunter for desert. (sarcasm)

I haven't read all replies just the first page I'm tired...
I don't think Thanos is much of a problem to him without HOTU or Inf gaunlet. The only problem would be Galactus but I think after long and hard fight I don't know what would happen. But Superman isn't that strong that some people want him to be. So I don't know guess full powered Galactus maybe would be a hard fight even enough ti win. Maybeeee....

I thought about it....Galactus would win.

i think galacticus would lose, but not by knockout, superman would trick him into leaveing or somthing like that

Wow. Somebody close this thread, because it's just getting dumber and dumber, and some fanboys just won't stop.

Superman and co. are DC (obviously you know that).

For some reason there is a tendency by some to rank DC characters using Marvel ratings .....which is probably why another poster thought that Marvel's QuickSilver could hang with DC's Flash.
Not even comparable.
Same explanation must be applicable to the (same) poster, when he said that Colossus was STRONGER than Superman.
Goodness, Colossus is not even NEAR Superman's strength (and feat) levels.
Not even close ....it is akin to comparing the lifting ability of a Goliath beetle with that of a Saturn rocket!

Using Marvel scale ratings for DC characters (especially the top-tier) leads to many problems. To be honest with you even Aquaman has done feats (like the whole lifting a city block thing) that in Marvel would be considered quite high, yet in the JLA Aquaman's strength pales in comparison to MM's,WW's and Supes.

There are very few Marvel characters that could transition effortlessly to the DC powerhouse league ....for example the Hulk could (although he would still be too one-dimensional), and the Silver Surfer definitely would fit in (actually SS could easily join the JLA).
Just remember that most of the top-tier DC guys cannot be ranked in a 100 ton scale.
Even a 100+ scale (because the 'plus' aspect of it is simply too great).

Then no non-cosmic marvel character (and no dc character without super strength) should ever beat any of the dc characters with superstrength becuase enrgy manipulation and other common powers are still around marvel levels in dc universe but for some reason strength is wayabove.

this is sun-dipped superman (a being that has a great case for low-level skyfather) + doctor strange (a being that also has a great case for low-level skyfather, but with his abilities enhanced by super speed and super intellect) + the kryptonian (who was said to be second only to galactus in the physical universe).

how in the WORLD is this guy going to lose to an average-showing galactus?

superman wins

No he doesn't. Galactus is INFINATELY MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING UP TO THIS POINT! He would strip the power cosmic, and bat him away like he's a plaything. Do any of you have any idea how powerful Galactus is? He's immesurable. Even when he's weakened, he can fight off most of Marvel Earth's heroes, and this What If Supes couldn't pull that off. All Galactus would do is strap his converter to Superman's head, and eat him. End of story.

You're wasting your breath. The Superman fanboys just can't accept that Superman is more on par with the Heralds, than an uber being like Galactus. Even the enhancements of this thread and Superman might still be only 1% of Galactus.

I know. It sucks that the fanboys just don't give up. These are the guys that say Superman can take God and a Kryptonite meteor at the same time. Yeesh.

You can resent it all day. It doesn't make it untrue.

man you can hate on superman all you want, but the addition of the power cosmic (which has previously made superman into a >tyrant level being) and the enhanced abilities of doctor strange (artifacts included, i presume), not even considering that a sundip puts supes well above herald.

come on guys.

Uh, have you not been reading this thread? Galactus can strip him of the power cosmic. He can't win.

i'm assuming the thread creator intended to inform us that galactus was barred from that tactic in this fight. otherwise, this what if superman would be weakest when fighting his strongest enemy.

even still, sundipped supes with enhanced doctor strange powers would be a good fight for a hungry galactus.

For a hungry one, maybe. It wasn't specified if he was hungry or not, but either way, there isn't a way for Superman to beat him, sorcerer ability or no. The only way he could come close is after Galactus was poisoned by Antos.
