Superman vs Silver surfer

well why didnt he do that to GL in the crossover when he drained his power. He touched him to get it.

Also Silver Surfer could turn Superman into a dog or an ear of corn or something else of the sort.

No he couldnt.

Superman could win if he is considerably faster. Im not really sure on Surfers speed, especially on earth.

True Flight: The board can attain CL5000 speed (10,000 mph in the atmosphere/1,000,000 mph in space). Within planetary atmospheres, he moves at Shift-Z speeds.
Dimension Travel: Once its maximum speed is reached, the board can enter hyper-space to quickly reach any section of the universe.
Phasing: The board has the Monstrous ability to render itself and its rider(s) temporarily immaterial. This power is used to enable them to pass through a barrier or to travel through space without risking collision damage with spaceborne particles.
Body Armor: The board has CL3000 Material Strength.

Ummmm he's just a bit fast

SILVER SURFER since marvel tend to be stronger since they work on a more inter galactic scale

your kidding right, since when are marvels power levels higher than dcs? The flash can run lightspeed and quicksilver can run what a few hundred mph. Just in general DC is off teh scales with power ranges.

Did someone say power rangers? LOLOL

Did any of you see the comic where Gladiator(Superman's clone and equal) went blow for blow with Surfer and no side gained the upper hand?

The Comic went like this(to a tee):
Gladiator and the Shiar forces were journeying through space, suddenly they came across a giant living planet(Ego), Gladiator along with the Shiar forces proceeding in attempting to "dismantle' the living planet as they deemed him "a threat" to space.Surfer comes out of nowhere and battles Gladiator in a blow for blow "even" battle, Surfer's plea is that Ego is a "living being" and deserves to live thus they fight it out in a blow for blow EVEN battle, no circumstances, no holding back, both fought for the win.Surfer is about to give the battle up as Glad is beginning to gain the upper hand.Ego "realizing" that Surfer was on his side donated some of his power to Surfer in attempts of ridden himself of Gladiator(his threat)..Surfer "still" didn't topple Gladiator, the fight ended in a stalemate as Glad decided that Surfer's way of piece was the "right" way..

Surfer used no power draining whatsoeva, it's assumed that it wouldn't work because or else he would have saved himself alot of trouble against Gladiator..

although i think surfer can and should beat gladiator, remember he is almost always holding back especially against someone he knows that is not really one of the bad guys.

but this thread is about superman and although gladiator has the same powers, he doesn´t need the sun like supes need. surfer could absorb the solar energy from supes **** he can absorb the sun, and how would supes fight without the sun, without his powers. i still think that surfer has the power to beat superman without absorbing anything, i´m just saying this to clarify that your gladiator argument doens´t mean much. gladiator and supes are pretty much equal in power but not in weaknesses.

Superman is a better fighter, but I still believe the Surfer could ultimately win. ( I'm like 85% sure anyway)

superman a better fighter? since when? both surfer and supes didn´t had martial arts training, they learne trough they´re lives, superman fight most of the times in earth, surfer has explored the universe who do you think has learned more fighting skills?

and someone mention inteligence, surfer was a cientist before becoming the silver surfer, he´s no dumb ass.

Isn't Sliver Surfer one of Marvel heavyweight ultra powerful characters. Superman tends be be getting weaker as time and storylines go by.

I begrudgenly give this fight to Surfer after much thought and consideration.Although I know this would "never" happen(DC's flagship character getting beating by Marvels' second-string BUT powerful character is dang near impossible)..I forgot about the solar energy draining thing and unless Supes knows Surfer is shooting a ray bound to drain his solar energy(thus using his superspeed) then I can't see Superman winning..

Surfer is one of the rare "good guys" I'd say can defeat Kal-EL from Marvel/DC. Logic wins this battle...*damnit*

What up if Sliver Surfer so powerful, why is he a Second Stringer? Is it because he's about as popular as a 20 zits on you face on prom night?

His character is not "out there" like the hulk's, Spider man, the X-men or Captain America..

Power has nothing to do with your popularity, guys like the Beyonder, Galactus,Ego or the Celestials are Marvels top powerhouses yet or 2nd/3rd string characters...It's comic sales, merchandising, marketing that makes a comic character so popular...Thus you have guys like Spiderman although weaker than (lets says) Silver Surfer being in more comics, making more movies etc...I guess in the end the weaker and more realistically vulnerable a hero is the more the rather "geeky zit faced" audience can relate or comprehend and find interest in their story..

I see it's popularity not power. Even the most powerful characters could suck in a fans eyes.

Why do people think that Superman can beat everyone!? Silver Surfer would crush Superman at any power level! Pre-Crisis or Post! Superman is NOTHING without sunlight! Surfer could absorb his solar energy. HE COULD ABSORB THE SUN. Without solar energy, Superman would get the tar beat out of him. GET OVER IT SUPERMAN FANBOYS. SUPERMAN IS GOING DOWN!

Yeah, like Superman is just going to stand there, waiting while Surfer is absorbing the entire sun. That'll be the day lol.

He doesn't have to take out the sun, genius. Surfer manipulates energy like telekinesis. He can take Superman's solar energy, making him weaker than Lois Lane.

yeah, he made short work of the hulk on plenty occasions using that one strategy alone(except he drained the gamma radiation), he made the hulk look like an obsolete imbecile...

True, though your verbiage is questionable.

I congradulate the guy who thought up this thread but Superman does not have nearly enough power of any locamotive or speed from a bullet to take out Silver Surfer in all of his glory not even on his best day...maybe with help from the JLA.

i think Martian Manhunter would provide a better fight then superman, i still think surfer could beat MM, but it would be a better mach up, in my opinion, an excelent fight.
