The death of super man?
It was said that Doomday killed the Big blue spirt curl.A fight between a krypton alien from a dead world and a prehistoric cave man from the same place.Superman would fall he has no skills and would stand there and get beat on untill he started to feel his own weakness.I think the one problem that the ailen would have , is that he has not had a real fight that he could lose with most villains.Superman is vulnerable to magic so with out even a punch Black Adom could stand out of reach of superman,s touch and or reach and call down the magical lighting untill he died.Question did any of you read superman verses Moehamad Alie? In the story Aliens came here to enslave earth thay wanted to show how pathetic we really are.So thay said pick your champion to represent earth and your sport of choice and we will pit our champion against yours.Any way to make a long story short superman got into the ring with Alie or cashish clay what ever you want to call him to prove who should be earths champion. (Alie has been of a boxer).In my opinion a crapy boxer of that time.Superman had a piece of the red sun fragment so when Alie taped him on the chin he fell down on his but and sat there and got schooled by the boxer of the time.So in the story of kingdom come when Magog recieved the power to erase supermans time line the first part of the story.Captain Marval stood toe to toe with superman and took the best he superman had to give.Black Adam knowing that superman has no right to do any thing here would kill him with out breaking a sweat superman end would die end of store.
Went with...
...Black Adam.
Based in part on their brief fight. But, also taking into consideration Captain Marvel and Superman are usually treated as equals, and Black Adam almost always has an edge over Captain Marvel physically.
Not to mention, Captain Marvel and Black Adam's punches are written with a magically charged effect, and while Superman isn't as vulnerable post crisis to magic as he used to be pre crisis, he's ironically affected by this post crisis effect, even if only slightly. (We have a word from Captain Marvel in Crisis Times Five on Supermans vulnerability, when he knocked out Supes with a cheap shot, and we also have examples in Loebs Superman/Batman...)
I think it'd be a very, very close fight if Superman was in "fighting to protect everyone I love, even if it kills me" mode, but Adam should take this.

I wouldn't say that, I'd say they generally stalemate. If BA has any advantage, I'd say it's he holds back less.

That may be. Historically, in their first pre crisis fight Adam soundly defeated Marvel (Along with the Marvel family). Their first post crisis confrontation in the Shazam mini ended the same way, with Adam beating on Marvel until he finally realized he was overmatched and used his brain to beat Adam... There's also World War III, with Adam again beating Marvel down (Although to be fair, Billy looked like he was trying to reason with Adam instead of fighting him..) Then there's other little things, like that time Adam got knocked out of JSA headquarters by Atom Smasher, and Captain Marvel tried to hold Adam back, and after Adam tossed him off commented "I forgot how strong Adam is...".
As for Superman, him and Adam actually did fight pre crisis, briefly. According to Supes, they were so evenly matched it would've been a long, long fight. A contrast between their more recent fight, considering Adam wasn't really fighting back..
Funny how magic was never an issue for pre crisis Superman against the Marvel types, yet the more magically resistant post crisis version has problems..

The only reason he beat up Supes that quickly is because he cheapshotted him. I also don't think it was one blow but two.
Originally posted by GLADIATOR2099I don't like Superman but she was ko'd. The fact she managed to come back is impressive for her but she needed to avoid his punches.
