Superman and The Silver Surfer switch

Superman must live and protect the Marvel Universe for the next 10 years without getting killed in order to get back to his own universe....

Silver Surfer must live and Protect Dc Earth for the next 10 years without getting killed in order to get back to his own universe......

How do they do? Pretty much, Supes has to hold SS"s place down till he can gets back and SS has to do the same for Supes till he can get back........What happens? Can they do it?

Superman is not tied to Galactus..... He just must help protect the Marvel Universe as best as he can when duty calls...Supes will spend more tme in space like Surfer does when he was in the Marvel Universe and Surfer will spend more time on DC Earth like Superman did when he lived in the DC Universe...

Superman has his own current powers.....He and Surfer or even Galactus are not tied to eachother at all, just that supes helps to protect the Marvel universe as he roams the universe much like SS did......

Silver Surfer does just fine. Supes would have a hard time filling the Surfer's gig. Marvel cosmic characters traverse the universe either through wormholes or through hyperspace. Can Supes do that?

he can fly at multiples of the speed of light with ease, and has done so before. getting around won't be his biggest problem. galactus wanting a replacement for norrin and eyeing clark is, assuming that's not covered in the op's remarks about galactus. if it is, then i dunno...

superman is a lot more used to being a protector than norrin is, so that would count for something, i guess.

i dunno how either man would do.

Silver Surfer would fail hard at maintaining Superman's reputation and he'd fail hard at pleasing Lois but otherwise he'd do Superman's role fine. Superman would be a good substitute for SS but don't ask him to perform some of SS's more esoteric duties like shifting suns and closing blackholes.

SS would have a hard time against DS, Heck he'd lose.

I don't see how much harder SS' job is

Hmm I can just see DS explaining how Superman's jobber aura had weakened him for many years and now that he's gone he's at full power again. 😛
SS doesn't really have much to do that isn't somehow related (even recursively) to Galactus.

Many times light speed won't cut it in the MU if you're filling in for the SS. Cosmic characters like SS and Nova can get from galaxy to galaxy in minutes if need be. It's standard requirement.

SS would struggle since he's teh opposite of Supes, rather than a jobber aura he himself jobs a lot. Thus he would get wrecked.

Supes would struggle since he's not as versatile as SS, and would get wrecked by some of the cosmic threats in Marvel.

SS would have an easier time if written right, but when has he ever been?

This topic is retarded. Just think about all the enemies that surfer fight on a daily basis. Now think of all the enemies Supes fight on a daily basis; it should be plain and clear on who would fail and who would succeed.

SS doesn't even "protect" that much, most of his villains are just a bunch of assholes who won't leave him alone, and he chooses to get wrapped up in them. Superman could breeze through it.

SS could probably beat Superman's villains as well. He really has no weaknesses while Superman has many.

when superman gets back to dc universe, he'd find that most of his villains are dead as the surfer has no qualms in killing villains..

Silver Surfer gets offended pretty easily. One minute he's trying to be friends, but hit him once and he's all business. Surfer won't hold back. He'll pwn a majority of Superman's enemies with relative ease. Except for Darkseid. He'll take some work. But if Supes can do it, there's no reason Surfer can't.

Surfer doesn't exactly have a set cast of enemies. Sure, the odd recurring villain here and there, but he mainly seems to deal with sh*t wherever he finds it. Superman already tackled that kind of hero work in his early years before he got swamped with super villains. So, basically, Superman could consider it a vacation.

They both do just fine.

Surfer ends all threats everywhere while Superman dies... right off the bat.

No he cannot fly anywhere near as fast as surfer. Surfer would last a long time fighting supes enemies, he would go down in the end though. Superman would not last the first hour trying to protect the Marvel Universe.

he flies fast enough.

They both rise to the challenge.

Superman needs to go a lil faster than 2x lightspeed if he wants to traverse the distances Surfer does.

He is fast, but nowhere near what people think he can do. Superman has never in his life flown twice the speed of light, not current supes.. pre-crisis, yes.

didnt read countdown? or justice league elite? or president lex? cos he did it in those.
