Can ms marvel put out the power of 50 supernovas? Because if she can, then it would only be enough to hurt (not kill or even knock out) a current superman weakened by prolonged exposure to red sun radiation. Because thats exactly what happened in the recent suneater confrontation. 50 supernovas is more than enough to destroy 50 solar systems.
Ironman has gotten pwned by pretty much everyone. He got pwned by wwh when he was weakened by nanites especially fine tuned to his dna, ironman also had a special suit made ONLY for that confrontation, and he still lost. Superman would just take his suit off at superspeed and take him to the hospital at superspeed so that he wouldn't have a heart
attack.
When sentry has feats comparable to supermans or survives 50 supernovas (the best I've seen sentry survive was that nuclear bomb, and even then his clothes were torn and his skin was singed. Superman had his clothes intact and minimal dark marks if any on his skin after a 50 supernova explosion) then he will make a difference.
Ares? The one that got pwned by a lightning bolt? Byrnes superman took lightning bolts for fun. Current superman... current superman wouldn't even notice.

Sentry does not and can not extend biometric energy to stop large objects from falling apart under their own weight Superman can. The hellicarrier is and has always been a weak argument I will say it once again, Sentry could easily lift the Hellicarrier, hell he could even toss the thing. The fact that an object that weighed millions on tons came crashing down on top of him and he needed time to slow it's momentum.
Oh, so sentry doesn't have a bioelectric aura? So that huge energy bust that threw the inhumans off of him was just imagined... and that yellow energy that is always around him? And the fact that he has psionic powers was just imagined too? Just saying.

I've seen Superman, Wonder Woman and a handfull of characters try to catch a bus filled with passengers and were pushed back because of the weight of the thing. Superman once threw a Aircraft carrier at Captain Marvel and it took Marvel time to stop it. Anyone know what comic I am reffering to? It's the one that Eclipso wanted to take over Captain Marvels body, while he possessed Superman's. Now please don't tell me that Captain Marvel is stronger than Superman because he isn't although he is very close. Oh and can anyone remember when Billy punched Superman in the nose and made it bleed? Actually I've seen Batman without K-nite kick Superman in the chin and open him up, anyone remember Dark Knight Returns?
First off, that was byrnes era. Second off, captain marvel and superman have always been pretty close in power, third off, past incarnations of superman were far vulnerable to magic that current superman is. Captain marvel is magic. He is a magical conduit. Thats why ever magical being gave their power to him in dov. Also, eclipso amps people. Did you see what it did to that crazy woman in the insane assylum? It made her almost near low herald.
Also, dark knight returns wasn't cannon... if you want to do that then I could name the time when magneto took over the world and killed all of the avengers. Non-cannon doesn't count. Its interesting. But it doesn't count.

Ironman hits harder than Bruce any day of the year. The current Avengers are too much for any one Superman to handle Alone. Sentry may in fact be able to beat him, or stalemate him. I really have my doubts about Superman holding off a few thousand mutant powers in one persons body, hell Magneto alone would give him a fight.
Not dark knight returns bruce, few can resist the batkick...
Also, superman held off a planet of mutant lifeforms. So I think that he can.

Sentry did pretty well in that fight, and was only BFR'ed, the Collective could not finish him off. Which also shows how strong Sentry's mental defenses are. It also shows how durable he is when you take into account what "they" did to Ms. Marvel, and Ironman.
Where does it say that the collective COULD NOT finish him off? The collective got annoyed and pimp smacked him back to earth. A good feat to last that long with the collective, but lets not overexaggerate.
Also, ms marvel and ironman have gotten pwned by alot of people. Rogue almost destroyed ms marvel, she still feels guilty...

Truth be told Superman would most likely fall as well to mental manipulation but Sentry was immune. it's so true how people like to pick on Sentry's low showings, but Ultron would calculate Supermans defeat as well and if he did not have any help it would be Doomsday all over again. For example if Ultron was in the DC universe Superman would be in a database and his weakness would stick out like a sore thumb, and it would be exploited. They don't need Thor, if he was there it would be overkill.
Superman wouldn't fall to mental manipulation. T-vo? It was enough to knock back mm, who is on par with or over prof x. Sentry has the willpower of a sponge. All it would take is bringing the viod up and talking about how crappy his life was to have sentry in the fetal position whining.
Also, ultron would not calculate supermans defeat. Henshaw has tried that for at least about fifty issues or more now, and it hasn't worked. Henshaw>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ultron. Also, superman is alot more tolerant to kryptonite and solar radiation. As I said he survived a 50 supernova explosion while having a red solar energy beam blasted on his chest. He also defeated a kyptonite robot while having kyptonite lasers blasted at his chest. So, no. Ultron would not "calculate his defeat".
