Well I guess Surfer could just turn him into a rock.

Surfer can too.

shit is still going?

Someone made another one of these threads as well.

I doubt Surfer is more powerful that Blaze in her dimension.

Soul Search: Fighting alone in Hell (literally), Superman single-handedly defeated Blaze, a death goddess, in her own realm. This had never been accomplished before by anyone; Blaze has magical control over the very reality of her realm. The attacks that Superman fought off included magical transmutation into a demon, which he shook off through sheer willpower ; magical energy blasts from Blaze ; a magical spell that encased him in stone, which he subsequently shattered; and immersion in the lava lakes of this magical dimension.

The Silver Surfer defeated the son of Satan (Mephisto,) who is all powerful in Hell. He doesn't manipulate reality, but he's still alot more powerful than Superman.

Let's just compare the characters; not people they've fought. Plot holes ruin everything.

Well, Concentrate on this part then:

"The attacks that Superman fought off included magical transmutation into a demon, which he shook off through sheer willpower ; magical energy blasts from Blaze ; a magical spell that encased him in stone, which he subsequently shattered; and immersion in the lava lakes of this magical dimension."

If he can resist her magic to transmute and transform. He can then resist draining and transmutation from SS.

Will power has nothing to do with how SS drains energy.

Does superman control his solar energy?

Magic generally works on willpower. This isn't magic.

What is the difference between powerful magic and lower class cosmic power?

Supes biometric shield is debateable. If it is psychic in nature (as some think) then surfer will have a hard time. Once Supes has absorbed the solar energy...its no longer Solar energy

Neither side would have an easy win and it's definitely debatable.

I don't see Superman getting his ass handed to him unless Surfer uses energy absorbtion which is his only hope and not really getting a win just avoiding a battle.

Supes can now become intangible through use of his super speed (avoided Doomsday flame breath and punches with it) Surfer does get tired, can suffer physical damage and exhaustion, and can run low on "cosmic" power. Supes is still faster than surfer on foot.

Surfer can become intangible through use of the power cosmic, ( he has phased through walls, etc.) Superman does get tired. Superman can suffer physical damage and exaustion, and can run low on "solar" power. Surfer is faster than Superman in every aspect; even in footspeed.

Surfer can suffer all of the above himself. He is not faster than supes in footspeed. Show me an example of him OFF his board fighting that quickly.

Magic works on willpower.

When Triumph siphoned the solar energy out of Superman, it still looked pretty solar to me. You're clutching straws.

This is an extremely one sided fight. There are too many ways for the Silver Surfer to win.

Tales to Astonish #93.

You'll noticed I simply rephrased your post.

Yes, I noticed.
Clutching at straws? You are the one who believes Power cosmic is stronger than magic. If supes shook one, he can definitely shake the other. The more surfer uses his abilities, the more he drains his own power cosmic...doesn't he? Please don't tell me it's unlimited now either...if Galactus isn't..no way Surfers is. Draining Supes once again is totally theoretical.

The more Superman uses his abilities, the more he drains his own solar power... doesn't he? Superman surviving one full blast from the Power Cosmic is totally theoretical.

You're not making any valid points.

The Power Cosmic is not unlimited, but it doesn't need to be. Neither is Superman. I'd say that Superman will be unconscious long before Surfer fizzles out. Even then, Surfer can absorb ambient cosmic energy, fully replenishing himself. He could absorb sunlight, just like Superman does.

The Power Cosmic is not magic. They are very different in nature. The Silver Surfer has defeated the Son of Satan, Mephisto. Let's compare the two characters, not people they've fought. I know that the Power Cosmic is vastly powerful but I cannot honestly say which is more powerful, neither can you. It may very well be more powerful than Magic. However, I do know magic is powered by the will of the user.

No, Silver Surfer has never absorbed Superman's energy; they have never fought. However, we have seen that Superman's solar energy can be drained. Triumph did it. Surfer can drain solar energy; he's done it in the past. Just put two and two together. This is a forum, the only thing you can do is provide facts, then theorize.

The Silver Surfer is so much faster than Superman, it isn't funny. If Surfer doesn't want Superman to hit him, Superman won't be touching him. He can just avoid Superman, while blasting him repetitively, until he's unconscious.

You are indeed clutching at straws. I have stated at least ten ways that The Silver Surfer can defeat Superman. You can't think of one.

Superman

Heat Vision: No Effect
Punches: Way too fast
Super-Breath: Puh-lease

Silver Surfer
Greater than light speed, reflexes, thought, reaction.
Superhuman strength
Matter Transmutation
Energy Manipulation
Telepathy
Time Travel
Intangibility
etc.

You are essentially saying that Superman will win this fight by willpower alone. You want Superman to win, but that is not the case in this fight. I understand that Superman is a lot of people's favorite character, but the fact is that he's not winning this.

I guess people are assuming Superman will survive cosmic blasts.

Remember superman has been hurt by punches, cosmic blasts can level cities.

SS used cosmic (normal) to knock out (win against) Thor, Champion, Thing , Morg , Terrax , Firelord , Gladiator.

If his cosmic blast (at normal) can hurt these guys there is no reason why it should hurt superman.

Surfer has too many ways to win this:
- Energy absorption
- Faster than light speed
- Cosmic blasts
- Destroy the Sun
Etc. goes on

And SS is durable he took 20 nuke (something like it) overhead without a scratch

Surfer wins without ever throwing a punch. He either yanks the energy out of Supes or disperses some red sun radiation or Kryptonite(Not entirely sure about that 2nd part, but I think the cosmic awareness thing would help him know about that)
