So you want to go the way that ends with you getting your shit wrecked ? Fine, personally I like mindless destruction , but each to your own.

Superman has had his whole life to learn to use his powers. A human mind would most likely explode, all them voices, seeing things at the microscopic level, accidently getting a glimpse of some ones iner body. Remember chances are you wouldn't be able to control his powers and would go insane, go on a murderous rampage (I would pretend to be insane) then supes comes and kicks your ass from america, to africa to teh fuxin moon boyo. At which point you would probably die from a panic attack thinking oh shit im in space, I CANT FUXIN BREATHE PALS!!!, fuk fuk, dead.

Meh.. we would all have a good uidea of what powers he has and with his Krptonian hertigage we would be alot smarter as wellAnd combat training doesn't mean your infinity better it just means you've trained which has nothting to do with an actual fight.
Which is all about optimizing your strengths compared to how well your oppenent does and I think I could do a pretty good job of doing that. I would defently make it a good fight if nothing else.
but none of us have ever had kryptonian abilities...
hell, how many of us could measure a punches force with the precision that he can?
his training counts for something, given that most people dont have combat training... 😛

That is what most of Supes abilities are just thinking of and doing them.
Supes powerset is probably one of the easiest to handle in all of comicdom simply because it's all thought based. No willpower no training required. As long as you know you can do it do it.
So with that in mind if we have the exact same powers and just as much knowledge on them from reading comics well then powers aren't an advantage. Think about it with a Krptonian your not going to be overwhelmed by any of your new powers for any real length of time because your mind can do all the functions you require of it.
Combat training is useful but don't think that it is the be all end all. All it does is teach you some fancy moves to use. Trust fighting is simply knowing how to up your strengths compared to your oppenent. You can know as many fancy fighting styles as you want it doesn't mean squat if someone utlilizies the one they know better.
Now am I saying I can beat Superman no but I'm sure I could make a fight of it and pull out my share of wins.

i disagree with pretty much all of that... 😛

Basically think it do it.....
Or that fighting is based on Optimizing strengths and minimizing your weaknesses vs your opponent and not fancy moves you learn.
The fact that with a Kyrptonian brain and prior knowledge of all of Superman's abilities we wouldn't be overwhelemed by his powers
Those ones 😛

No, i do see your point, and while i do respect it, and can understand why you believe it, i just don't agree...
Originally posted by pr1983OK then how do Superman's powers work?
No, i do see your point, and while i do respect it, and can understand why you believe it, i just don't agree...
Can you tell me why fighting isn't about optimizing your strengths?
And with a Kyrptonian brain how will our minds be over loaded with priot knowledge of Superman's abilities?
thoughts, as you said... but with everything, practice makes perfect... he's been using his powers day in and out, he's learned all the subtle nuances that come with his abilities...
we haven't...
i know i can do heat vision, but where i might just want mine to be really hot, he'd be able to measure it to the exact temperature he wants it at...
fighting is about optimizing your strengths, but someone with training and experience is always going to have an advantage over someone without it, imo...
Originally posted by pr1983I do agree that he will have better overall control but then again I'm not trying to use specific tempratures I'm going for hottest and hardest in terms which only means I would push myself.

lol, i didnt mean you in general, hell, i can fight too, but superman spends his days around people like wonder woman and batman, i'd say he's a better fighter than most give him credit for...
i mean sure, if you lay it on thick and fast, he's going to be surprised, but he'll adapt quickly, and then, well, ouch...
Originally posted by pr1983Meh..fighting is fighting and I know alot but then again I could see you scenario being plausable as well.
