Is Goku a ripoff of Superman

No, It's just a storyline:

Last survivor of a planet(or something else), loads of powers and stuff, loads more come out of nowhere. Dies a few times, comes back.

What they did was take Superman's origin and improved it a 100 times to make it more badass.

I think he is a combination of Superman and Sun Wukong

I highly doubt Toriyama had superman in mind when he was thought up Goku. They have some similarities, but its not that great. Saying Goku is a superman rip is similar to saying King Arthur is a ripoff of Beowulf. I can't even imagine Superman in Journey to the West.

Okay, there is next to NO similarities to GOku and Superman beyond the most superficial.

Does Superman know how to channel his spiritual energy into attacks?

Does Goku have X-ray vision? Does he has heat vision? Does he have Super-breath? Is he vulnerable to any one substance?

He IS NOT the last survivor of Planet Vegeta.

Can Superman blow up the earth?

Does Superman's power incrase when he is healed from a fatal wound?

Can Superman ascend to the next level of a Kryptionian?

Does Superman turn into an ape during a full moon?

I doubt it

Using the patented "NPC" method, I will now "Prove" That Superman is a Rip off of the monkey king.

They both have superstrength, Superspeed, Flight, Allies with similar abbilities, Foes with similar abilities, Invulnerability, Breath powers, and they both fight for good.

What more proof do you need? Fortunatly, coicidences do not exist in the realm of the "NPC" method.

NPC?

So they have 3 powers the same? Goku does not have a breath power.

Fighting for good? Okay if thats what your going for then everyone is a rip off.

Read my post above, they are WAYYY more different then they are the same.

All I count the same about them is

Super Strength
Flight
Super Speed

Another difference, Goku has to train to get his power up, Clark was born with his powers and their development was just a matter of aging, not training.

When Superman looks up at the moon, turns into a big ape, and fires a spiritual energy blast yelling "Kamehameha!" Then they would be the same.

???

I am not NPC. And the Monkey king, who DOES have a breath power, is not the same as Goku.

Didn't Toriyama say that he got the idea for the Saiya-jin race from watching the movie Superman 2?

Whats the point of this thread, again?

damn it, goku is an eastern creation that have some small similarities to some big similarities to superman, the asians love superman, so i would think goku is a stab at trying to have their own "superman" to love and stuff, that's the jist of goku, plus he's in an completely different comic stlye, everything is blown of of preportion, like their muscles are extremely huge sometimes, although this happens in most comics, much less nowadays though, and his head is too big for his body in most action shots, plus i hate the asian drawings of how people look, they look ill

GOKU=SUN WUKONG!

Get it through your heads!

No, he has only minor similarites to Superman.

Superman died once,

Goku died multiple times.

read my post above and you'll see they have very little in common.

Superman has ice breath.

Goku's ape form fire energy balls out of its mouth. Do you see how that is different?

Did I say He was like Superman? No, I did not.

I suppose It takes a inttelect better then you to realize that post was a sarcastic jab at NPC, using his tactics to "Prove" Something that obviously was not true.

If you put something in quotations when it is not a quote, it usualy implies sarcasm, that is to say that you should imagin when I said "Prove" It ment that it would not actualy prove anything.

And Monkey King Is not the same as Goku. I didn't even mention Goku in that quote.

So your agreeing that they are not the same except on the most superficial levels.

I'd say superman could destroy the world too, but not by using powers like the kaheamdnjfksa... how ever it's spelt

Yeah but see thats what makes them different. They have only minor surface similarities.
