Points for SUPERMAN
1. Has more feats than the runner. Accepted
2. Has defeated greater opponents than the runner. Im coming to dat
3. A>B>C logic is faulty.Coming to dat as well
4. No Proof runner is more powerful dan him. Partially Accepted
Now here are the points for runner
IN RELATION TO DEFEATING MORE POWERFUL CHARACTERS;
As I have said before superman really has shown himself to be more powerful than most of the characters he has defeated. You used the example of dominus but as i am not an advent dc reader i dont know much about him. I will threfore us a character like darkseid. Superman has defeated darkseid but never in any of those fights has he shown himself to be more powerful than darkseid. I think even the toughest superman fan will say that DS>Supes. As i said earlier circumstances have played a big role in his victories over characters of that level. Now in relation to the runner thanos fight, the major point really is not the fact that the runner lost but is that thanos had to use the time gem to beat him. Prior to the use of the tme gem their was no way in hell that thanos was going to get a hold of the runner and unless their was an interference from an ouside force thanos was going down. The eventual outcome really did not matter in this case as the runner portrayed himself as being powerful enough to if not take thanos give him a real match. Point for runner.
Secondly in the other fight the speed of the runner can be seen as he was fast enough to take surfers board.{ Way out of supermans league).
Yes surfer had gone through two fights but that certainly is not enough reason to assume that he was moving any slower than he would normally as surfer has killer endurance and his speed would be minimally affected if at all affected by it. Also even though the surfer had gone through some fights, the runner being able to over power him is a great feat and it still puts him on a high herald level of strength. Point for runner.
In regards to A>B>C logLet me break this down. If Character A is more powerful than B and if B is more powerful than C then A>B>C. However Character A beating character B does not equal A being more powrful than B therefore A can not be said to be > than B. Therefore If runner is more powerful than thanos then R>T but if superman beats darkseid it does not mean S>D.
Now for the reason the runner wins, HE IS SIMPLY TOO FAST. The runner ran across the universe while Mdragon wa screaming. Superman hs neva conistently been shown to be at this level of speed. Even though the runner does not have enough feats to prive he is stronger or more durable than supes his few feats at least make him comparable in those areas and with his speed that is all that is needed
