See? Here we go. Surfer has been Ko'd by Iron man absorbing his energy.

Transmutation is one thing....converting energy to matter is probably more difficult.

Also matching the energy signature of someone who can do anything they think of and forcibly reversing them is a feat in itself.

My other point is that Surfer has never turned an enemy into wood during a battle either...especially another "herald" level character.

Uh SS swallowed the power from a red sun, he beefed up and of course overflow of energy, thats converting energy to matter and containing it to boot.

Thats alot more energy then I have seen Blue Superman handle.

How is that converting energy to matter? Where does it say it on panel?

Why would Superman blue need to absorb a sun? He's done a whole lot with a lot less energy. Maybe SS needs more energy?

All that matter's for this discussion is that SS is capable of such a feat, not what the outcome was, simply that he could with no trouble.

Red Suns are alot bigger then Yellow Suns and the energy produced is prodigiously greater then anything on Earth.

Now that I am out of my SS pajamas though I am afraid my fighting condition is weakened and my friend I will have to debate with you another time about Superman Blue and SS!

And I believe this version of Superman has the greatest chances of overcoming SS consistently.

One fight, the rest has been pretty much one-sided. Have you seen their other fights? Not saying there's an excuse and all cause i'd be a hypocrite if i did. Just goes to show Superman blue ain't that invulnerable to something just because he had a one time good showing against that factor. If it did, Surfer would be unbeatable right now considering just how really high up there would his one-time good showings do for him.

This seems a lot more sensible. They both have the ability to take each other out..and since NEITHER is omnipotent (shown many times for both) it just depends on who gets who first.

So it's kinda dead even, huh?

It shows that NEITHER side is invincible and that both could be vulnerable to the same things despite all their power.

They both have pretty insane energy feats...and I would imagine that if DC had not switched Supes back, he would have a whole lot more of them.

In a way, yes.

I don't see anyone claiming that, but i'd be lying if i say i find them equal in terms of feats. There are just too many powers surfer has displayed that just tips it out to his favor IMO like time manipulation, tk, entrapment(to his board), making a clone with it's own powers, synthesizing magical energies(odinpower), nulling gravity unconciously, body shrinking, cosmic awareness, etc.

Well, of course he's going to have more feats...the character has been around a lot longer...Energy Supes was only around for about a year.

However, like Surfer himself Supes would develop new abilities depending on the storyline. He also has the appropriate tools to take out SS and vice versa. There hasn't been an energy that Blue Supes wasn't able to control.

Besides, for all thier powers cosmics always end up going H2H anyway.

Well, i think it is a pretty good debate i'm sorry you don't like my thread 🙁

they are very close in consistent feats, only problem is that surfer has many more while superman blue got changed back to normal superman... my question would be, would superman in his original state been able to overcome the obstacles he faced when he had his new powers?

I highly doubt it, wrestling with Asmodel and the Millenium giant.. In that state he has more power/versatility w/ no weakness.. but normal Supes did turn a whatchamacalled it wheel and lets not forget T-vo.. I prefer energies/matter manipulation than t-vo..

can u tell me what T-vo is? i hear alot about it, but i dont know what it is

So if Superman Blue had faced himself (lets say as evil) would he be able to stop his regular powered self?

Short version, he can have any powers he wants.. Dependant of his opponent.. the stronger they are, the stronger he becomes...

ok, thats what i thought it may be, but i wasnt sure.. thanx for answering my question

Alright, I have been recently informed that the writers didn't ACTUALLY mean the standerd definition of the word infinite in regards to Supermans potential, so I figure I'd bring this thread back to life.

I still say Surfer takes it 7/10.
