Originally posted by JuntaiNo. He was pretty harmed. Your scans say his power is evaporating. Indeed he didn't have the strength to accelerate beyond light speeds and had to be saved by his Pa.
Basically under a red sun, a drained Superman survives the force of 50 supernovas, and flies off unharmed.
Originally posted by TricksterPriestHe is. Maybe 2-3 out of 10 fights. But if you read your scan more closely, you see that he only survived the electromagnetic shock wave and rode it ahead of the deadly "incinerating radiation" that would have killed him if his Pa didn't save him. Don't blame me, it's your guys' scan. Just don't make it appear that he survived a 50X red sun supernova from inside when he clearly rode out the brunt of it on a shockwave.
👆 And that, is why Supes can beat Surfer. For a majority is debatable. But he is fully capable of beating the surfer.
In the end, it is clear that some people will not concede Superman would go down for the clear majority. Many people would go so far as to say red sun radiation wouldn't even give Surfer an advantage. And as subtley and as crafty as you may hide it, this is indeed fanboyism at its truest.
It truly is. I debate for a living. I know what the last several posts are for. They are a smoke screen. A side issue used to cover up the glaring main issue. It's a tactic often used, sometimes without even knowing it. The main issue is Superman is outclassed in durability and versatility. You are clearly defeated on the main issue of being outclassed, so you decide to seize upon a debatable side issue such as, "Red sun radiation would not let Surfer one-shot Superman." When you appear to have won that side issue, you come out with the appearance that you have somehow made ground on the main issue when you really haven't.
The sad thing is, not a lot of people are arguing that anyway, except the Surfer fanboys. Which indeed works in your favor, because now you can seize upon the fanboy characterization and subjectively project that upon all Surfer supporters and try to act as if our entire position is supported by child-like idiots. No. It doesn't work. It's clever and subtle, but in the end, it's desperate. Surfer's durability and versatility are not negated to such a degree by this small quasi-victory of yours that the end result would be any different.
Silver Surfer makes black holes, defeats herald level foes inside black holes w/o his board and can snuff out suns.
Superman has survived exposure to black holes and can break planets apart.
When he upgrades to Surfer's level, then bump this thread again. Til then, nobody except Superman fanboys will ever seriously consider Superman even taking a split in this battle. It's been that way from the beginning and no amount of sidestepping or crafty debating will change that.
Silver Surfer 7/10.
