Prime wasn't at full power either...he was stripped of his solar suit and red sunlight took his power. If anything, all of them were pretty much powerless and he was double teamed.

I believe Supes would give Prime a fight regardless of that situation but I don't think that fight hold water.

They did catch up with him. It was shown on panel.

Superman was still being weakened by Kryptonite, while Prime wasn't, ergo Superman was weaker. Red Sun affects him too you know.

Prime looked behind himself and they were nowhere in site. He dipped on them. Then while fighting against the Lanterns (no telling how long that fight lasted); that's when they caught up and sent him through a sun.

If my memory serves me right, didn't Prime bring up his powers being depleted during that fight?

can adam one shot supes

hmm

😛

Prime powers are gone.

Prime looks behind himself and no one is there.

You're not listening.

Everything Juntai said is still true. Krypton is many lightyears away from Earth; to catch up at all still required FTL travel speed for it to have taken place in a few panels.

Nobody said Prime wasn't weakened, but Superman was more weakened, because even without his powers, Kryptonite is still lethal to him.

😉

If thats true then what exactly make him powerful?
A weekend superman owned SBP? Wtf

What is this SBP vs adam? Adam didn't "no sell" prime's punches and was it brought up to impress anyone? Superman has fought three people close to PC power levels, pre-zero hour Mon-el who actually moved a star with bare hands, pocket dimension superboy who could actually time travel on his own power and SBP himself at full power level unlike in IC in LO3W. He defeated an eclipsed Mon while suffocating, stalemated superboy in a long drawn battle and actually restraining SBP (although prime was seemingly not resisting). Neither of these people ko'd superman either while they actually felt superman's punches unlike adam's punches which a weakened prime ignored and said they "tickled". Adam is at several disadvantages here
1. Superman's bio field is retconned so no bio field passing lightning amped punches. While his amped punches would still hurt superman it's no longer one shot or two shot scenario and superman's pain soaking capabilities and willpower is legendary, Gog once tortured him for 200 years with kryptonite just below the limit where it kills him and was unable to break him. He was beaten to pulp by all american boy, a doomsday level creature with kryptonite embedded throughout his body and ability to radiate knite radiation and was still coherent enough after two issues of beating. So, does anybody think that adam is stronger than a doomsday level character or magic hurts superman more than kryptonite?
2. Adam can't fight at high speeds for too long. Jay noted that at mach 500 his muscles started to tear and he was begining to tire while superman was neck to neck with Jay just shy of light speed where Jay himself started to tire.
3. While adam is known for his ferocity, no one matches the ferocity of an out of control, mad with grief superman. In day of judgement when it seemed superman was going out of control, captain marvel while holding spear of destiny said "Does anybody has kryptonite handy". In camelot falls entire JSA along with hal and diana showed up to restrain him. When batman went out of control with superman's powers they sent a team consisting of two elite gls (hal and john), diana, firestorm, supergirl, hawkgirl and red tornado and batman said they were still no match for him.
3. Adam has no healing factor and is NOT more durable than superman. When despero knocked out superman and cap he rammed their heads together. If cap was more durable than superman than he wouldn't have been ko'd.
4. Superman has more ranged attacks to hurt and stall adam like HV, freeze breath and sonic scream while adam's lightning attack would take time and can be easily avoided.
5. Superman has made a career beating people stronger, faster and more durable than himself, when was the last time adam defeated someone stronger and more durable than him?
Based on all this superman 7/10.

Based on all this superman 7/10.

1. Magic still harms Superman and is still shown and mentioned to be an exploitable weakness of his.

2. Jay was also stealing Black Adam's speed to help him attain the level of speed he needed. That was also Black Adam running alongside Jay, not flying.

3. WWIII?

3-2. Yes, he does possess a healing factor. His lightning can regenerate him and his damage soak is impressive. He's definitely comparable to Superman in these aspects.

4. Black Adam can amp his fists with magical lightning, as well as coat his entire body in it, such as when he tackled Spectre like a lightning torpedo. It doesn't take hardly any time at all for either of those, and he can do those without shouting "Shazam!".

5. Usually with context, amps, or plot device if they were truly more powerful across the board than him.

Superman winning more than 6/10 is really pushing it.

^ 👆

1. what do you call not being damaged By a punch? A No Sold.
2. black adam flew across the universe in 10,000 years non stop or rest , black adam getting tired is PIS
3. Im pretty sure adam has a healing factor or else any damage would be permanent, and I never argued he was more durable
4. The Marvels lighting can tag FLASH, superman is not doging anything

Tagging Flash is PIS, as it's been well established Cap can avoid his own lightning when he uses it as a weapon. And Black Adam was the character who coined that attack, using it against Cap in the pre crisis era to force a change back into Billy.

1. Yes, magic hurts superman but not to the point people are making it to be or do you think magic hurts him more than kryptonite? He has stated to darkseid that compared to kryptonite omega beams are walk in a park. Do you think adam's lightning charged punches can hurt him more than omega beams? Since bio field's gone superman can easily endure his amp punches because he has endured greater magic than adam's lightning e.g Disciples's magic, a magic beam that was going to destroy entire paradise island etc.
2. No, Jay only stole adam's speed to achieve light speed, his muscles started to tear at mach 500 and he started slowing down and fell during higher speed, seeing him fall down Jay stole his speed and crossed light speed. Compare this to superman who started his race to wally at 2000 mps and was accelarating and if you'd read his race with Jay you'll learn that it was ON FOOT when Cadbara put a spell on wally so that he was running at top speed and they were trying to catch him.
3. WWIII. What did he do in 52 that was so spectacular? Fought teen titans, fought doom patrol, tricked j'onn, restrained by alan and power girl, got his face melted by martian vision. For an amped adam it was a shitty showing, he never fought anyone of elite club, just a bunch of heroes who jobbed to him I mean alan scott going H2H wtf, he fought heroes with groups of one and two and no one was trying to harm him while he was trying to kill everyone. Regular Superman fought j'onn, power girl, supergirl, killowog, ultraa and many other alien heroes AT ONCE and they couldn't even restrain him. Later in that comic he one shotted Despero. Compare amped adam to amped Kal and you'll see the diffrence.
3. No, he doesn't posses a healing factor. Marvels can only heal by turning to their human form and returning to their powered form. Feel free to correct me. Superman OTOH has healed from impaled by kryptonite blades, throat slit by tiara, impaled by magic arrows and sword in superman man of steel 128 and many more times.
4. So, what is diffrent between hand surrounding lightning and body surrounding lightning, magic doesn't weakens superman neither it amps adam's durability, the lightning just disrupts magic. It wasn't that much of high end showing either as it's just a form of nectoplasm and superman himself breached spectre's form in action comics 829. Superman shattered the body of soulfire darkseid by nothing but his fists but these feats are meaningless.
5. What context, he beat Eclipsed Mon while suffocating in a straight battle, he fought superboy who was orderded by time trapper to kill him otherwise trapper would erase his dimension long enough to make him realise he was fighting wrong man. He fought prime without any context, one shotted diana in final crisis without any context, one shotted despero without any context. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean we would keep only adam's high end feats and toss superman's out of window.
I would only reconsider my stance when anybody tells me a single time adam has defeated an opponent stronger, faster and more durable than him.

He was talking about JUSTICE a non canon story. When flash teamed up with cap, once billy shouted shazam, wally thinking that lightning would hurt billy ran from his hotel 10 miles away and "rescued" billy from lightning before it striked down. And colossus shazam sending adam to farthest star which eye can see is pre crisis. Post crisis wizard entombed adam's soul in a scarb which Theo adam picked up and was transformed in black adam.

Superman wins using only HV.

The HV has had some insane showings over the years.

But Superman also limits it a lot, so I doubt he'll use a full power attack, in character.
