"As originally conceived and presented in his early stories, Superman's powers were relatively limited, consisting of stupendous strength which allowed him to lift a car over his head, run at amazing speeds and leap one-eighth of a mile, and incredibly tough skin which could be pierced by nothing less than an exploding artillery shell. Writers slowly increased his powers over time until, by the Silver Age, he was effectively omnipotent. However, it became increasingly difficult to write stories in which such a hero was believably challenged, given that by then he could demolish entire planets, fly fast enough to travel through time, required neither food nor sleep, was superhumanly intelligent and could see and hear from one side of the universe to the other. A series of attempts to reel in the character were made, the most significant being in Byrne's 1986 rewrite, which established several hard limits on his abilities (for instance, surviving a nuclear blast nearly exceeded his invulnerability, and his flights into space were limited by how long he could hold his breath). Inevitably, Superman's powers have grown again since then, with Superman possessing enough strength to hurl mountains and, with effort, stop entire planets in their orbits"
Found this quote on superman in wikipedia, if he's coming back to these levels like this says, then MM will eventually lose to the planet mover (again) btw its basically pre crisis supes but depowered some what. am i wrong? move planets to just being able to stop their orbit, sounds like it to me.

There's no reason why MM shouldn't win MOST of the time, other than the fact that it is Superman.MM isn't as strong as Superman nor could reach at strength levels Superman can reach, and he isn't nearly as durable as Superman, but MM is so damn versitle. Superman even called him Earth's most poweful "being".
MM 6/10
So this is the guy I had to add numbers to my username for...

Superman bigs up everyone.Thor is his most powerful opponent ever.
As is Doomsday...
As is Martian Manhunter... blah blah blah.
J'onnz would win if he has time to go intangible.
If Supes gets a good Thorbuster in first, followed by concentrated heat vision, I'd say Supes.
