"even in a straight h2h fight supes win. he is arguably as strong (arguably stronger) than hercules, has greater durability and above all his speed."
H2H isent all powers used. Its mostly skill. Wich Superman isent high in comparation.

"If Superman used all of his powers he would take Herc. 10/10. I don't think anybody would argue that. HV, ice breath, speed, flight, etc. Supes is rarely written to full potential."
Hv didnt stop Thor. Ice Breath isent going to do much, heck WW alone has got out of it. And he still is going to trade punches. Why? Its in character.
Now i give you that. One where he doesnt get close and doesnt let himself get hit with everything Herc is going to trow? 10/10.
Problem is, they are never written that way.

"In a pure slugfest I still see Superman taking Herc. 8/10. Herc. has defeated nobody in h2h combat that is in Supermans league that I am aware of. Jobber characters don't count."
In a slugfest like he did to DOS Superman? Hes bound not to do that good. Altho it can split. They are both comparable strenghwise and what Supes has in advantage in durabilty, Herc compensates for better fighting ability. 8 out of 10 its a dream.
And you still dont know what H2H means. We had that argument in the Hercules capability thread. H2H is what WW uses in order to compensate the strength and speed advantage Superman has over her.
Now how many Herc looked better or defeated by using skills that are Superman league, very close to it or simply above?
:
Hulk
Thor
Wonder woman
Thor II
Typhon
Warlock
Dragon Man
Anteus
Cupid - the god that was punching on Wman and Iron Man and others.
Satisfied?
Your probably going to say that all here are jobbers tho pinch
Its never enougth to view the Hercules Scanorama:

"yea superman actuall excels in h2h combat when you look at his catalogue of fights, so why not? yeah he could take the majority of wins in this fight."
Another one who doesnt know what H2H means. Its strenght, durabilty and most important skill. Either with weapons or without.
Superman figthing skills are good. Not great.
