Superman vs. Galactus, with a twist...

Let mew show you SOME of them:

Gladiator
Count Nefaria
Sentry
Wonderman
Virtue
Hyperion
etc...

Now, imagine if MARVEL instead of DC would have come up
with Superman?

Chances are he would be more powerful than he already is.
Chances are HE would have the power cosmic.

Chances are, he would be the one to solo out-of-place abstracts.

I mean, hell, who would need star masters or Guardians of the Galaxy if Supes was Marvels Golden Boy. Marvel hypes up all of their favorite characters with some type of "omni-useful" power. i.e The Power Cosmic. What would they give Supes if he was their Golden Boy?
I don't even want to imagine.

To the threadstarter.

You haven't really solved any great mystery.

Superman beats alot of the more powerful people for the same reason any lower tiered character beats a higher tiered character...

Plot demands it be so.

And to answer the question you made......

Were Superman to be in Marvel, he'd still be merely elite top tier as he is in DC.

Surfer, BlackBolt and Thor would still be his rivals/superiors in power, and he'd still start pissing his tights when Galactus approaches Earth.

I mean, look at Spiderman.

He's easily the most popular character in that company, and he's yet to get a decisive win over Hulk, Thor or any character blatantly above his tier.

Writers have agendas, and in Marvel where i doubt editorial protection would be in play, Superman would just be a big gun, like he is on DC Earth.

He would not beat Thanos, he would not beat Magneto, and he'd definitely not beat Phoenix.

Were he to be the original hero that he truly is, i'd wager he wouldn't have many low showings and might be treated a bit better than other top tiers, but he'd still likely get cut by Wolverine.

And to whoever said if Galactus was in DC Superman would've beaten him by now............what?

He didn't even beat Imperiex, an obvious Galactus clone.

Galactus would be thwarted, due to demands of the plot, but he wouldn't be beaten, and it wouldn't be by Superman alone.

Oh, and the powerset of Superman is one of the most generic and exploited in comics. Not unique by any measure.

even with a sun dip he wouldnt have a prayer.

this is gaalctus the guy who not even fully fed can destroy star systems.

Keep in mind that I'm only talking about what would happen in a DC comic, and in DC comics Superman would somehow beat Galactus.

Pretty much any DC fan could tell you that. 🙂

Imperiex was at least equal to Galactus, imo. He had enough power to generate Universal big bangs --- A mere sun-dip took care of that. 🙂

What version of OWAW did you read?

All i saw sundipped Superman do, was push imperiex into a mega boomtube.

IT was a group effort.

Imperiex was thwarted, but it wasn't only on Supermans back.

Stop the shenanigans.

Imperiex was just one of many examples of Superman taking on a being whom for all intents and purposes, could one-shot him.... But didn't.

Why?

Because it was a DC comic. 🙂

Another member with a superiority complex, ey?

on topic, if superman was a marvel hero, he'd get his ass kicked by galactus much like all the other heros in marvel who tired to face of with galactus.

if galactus was a DC character superman would have taken him down already

for the record Galan was correct, Imperiex>Galactus

galactus>imperiex but i dont feel like having a minidebate in here on that. if u want to argue that look up that vs thread and ill respond to u in there.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPPPPPP

I think superman would be more like hyperion in marvel, just smarter. I also think thor>superman, just my opinion. Superman would just be more popular than hyperion due to attitude.

you have no proof that superman would get help against galactus, but i have proof that he can beat whoever DC wants to

that is if galactus was a DC character
