Black Adam vs Superman

Byrne had him do it, and it had serious psychological consequences to the point that Supes vowed never to kill again.

Cyborg Superman doesn't count, because Supes already knew Henshaw could survive without a body, and Doomsday from Superman/Doomsday was just another marketing gimmick tie in to Death, and also out of character...

The exceptions prove the rule, and there's far more proof that Ending Battle is how Superman normally acts than not.

Just because Batman used guns in his earliest appearances, or in Final Crisis, doesn't make that normal for his character..

I'd agree that it's unlikely that Superman would kill under normal circumstances; Ending Battle (at the time) was pretty accurate, I thought. I also felt, though, as time went on Superman changed a little. Not much, but enough to the point that if you pushed him far enough, he'd do it. I'm not saying it's easy to get him that far, but i think it's possible.

I wouldn't say that Batman is a killer either, but writers have slipped up on that end too. Not as much in the last couple of decades obviously, and he's now the most severe case I think.

You've all betrayed me. 🙁

The poll says it all

Yeah, the poll proves Adam wins, with ease.

Yeah because polls are indicator of charactre's powers. If I'm not mistaken didn't this forum once has a superman disrespect thread, superman was twice voted as the most hated character and this thread was made in that time period. Actually I'm surprised that superman got so many votes considering adam is a "badass" and "magic pawnz superman". If you think adam wins easily why not bring evidence of it instead of relying on a forum poll or you guys has nothing to prove that big badass adam>superman, huh?

Just for shits and giggles, superman overpowers lobo and valor despero and thanos style

It's a close fight either way but the magical punches is an advantage Adam has over Superman coupled with being more brutal than Superman is on average. What advantages does Superman have ?

Heat Vision.

Spped, ranged attacks, being a more intelligent fighter.

Adam might be more brutal, but Superman can be as ruthless as anyone when he wants to be.

Yes, Superman can but doesn't do it often it's not in his character but Adam does it practically all the time which gives him the advantage. Superman is the boy scout here not Adam he will rip your head off on tv.

His speed won't play an advantage as he doesn't use it often nor did he use it to demonstrate an advantage over Adam when they did throw down. Black Adam is a very intelligent and effective fighter as well. There isn't a lot of critical thinking involved in punching someone in the face.

He would use his speed, though.

There is for Superman, generally. Even when he's brawling, a lot of the time he's doing it thoughtfully. He doesn't just wail on people.

If pushed, it is in character. If the stakes are big enough, of course Superman will do his best to put him down.

Now what would happen when superman uses his full force heat vision on adam like when he one shotted despero or diana or when he stopped infinity man in his track or like so many other times, I don't think it would be pretty. Adam doesn't have the luxury of two indestructible bracelets that can stop HV.

Who said superman's fighting here to save some people so he would be a boy scout? A murderous, cold, calculating superman can be the scariest guy you can think, just ask subjekt 17 or manchestar black or Darkseid or of and what badassery is to rip someone's head off? You want a badass superman, look down
