IMO, Unless Superman is irradiating Plasma or granting powers with his vision, he is not amped, he is just 100% sun charged
Yeah, and let's think about what that actually means.
According to the newer Superboy comics Kryptonians (under yellow-sun) have their consciousness more or less divided into every single cell in their body.
Consider also how Superman couldn't feel any real limitations, or sweat, until he had been away from the sun in 5-6 days and constantly exerting himself.
If Superman's having a fight near the sun then wouldn't he be nearly impossible to injure? Let alone tire!

huh. that's interesting. but i was thinking that amped supes would win without doubt. i was more interested in how supes would fare on earth vs despero, straight up, in a ring-style fight.
Apparently this thread was made pre-DCNU so I didn't even consider which version might be duking it out with Despero 😛
I think Despero's offense is too strong. More often then not Telepathy gets a sort of auto-hit, at least that's what it feels like with Grodd/Flash, which helps Despero a lot. Makes it a lot easier for him to deal with Superman's seemingly superior speed. It also means that Superman can't just "range" him and try to end it with some relentless heat-visioning.
Ring style? I might actually give Despero worse odds here since he'd be out his TP. I believe that the TP-Blasts were a part of why did so well against them.

ring style just means an unbreakable kmc dome. all powers still viable. supes has done quite well at times vs despero--hell he did better than most of the league combined--minus red tornado....

It's a tough call still, but I might favour Despero.
Superman needs that cold rage to beat him I think.
