qftOh, and how fast can Thor/Superman fly in an open vacuum?
In Birthright, it was suggested that Krypton was in the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million lightyears away.
In Infinite Crisis, Superman chased Superboy through space from Earth, and after a few pages of unspecified time they crashed through Rao and Kryptons remains.

But how long ranged is that? Because what if a fleet starts bombarding him from hundreds of thousands of miles away?
He shut down all technology and stuff across the entire planet Earth...ALL technology so the world would be silent for a moment of silence for Steve. Didn't even have to put any effort in.

Right...but how long ranged is it?
I mean, weapons such as centerpoint station can fire from thousands of light years away...although it was destroyed, so idk if we should allow it.

I get where you're coming from....but no starfighter no matter how small has a targeting system competent enough to hit a human sized target moving at Thor's speed. The only person who was ever documented to get close to hitting a human target was Luke when he was in total sync with the Force, and piloting the Falcon by himself.
As for star wars charries not being allowed in comics, I don't agree since Star Wars isn't just the movies, it's tons of books and many ongoing comic series.

It's extremely sad how ignorant some people are...You guys, have you ever ventured to these forums that talk about comic book characters? Don't you sometimes get mad at how some people are so ignorant about comic book characters?
For example, in this one forum there was a thread "Superman vs Spiderman", and this one guy was like "hm...I don't know, Superman had the strength but Spiderman has the speed"!
Don't you see how ignorant the above post is? Spiderman being faster than Superman???? LOL that's funny.
Same thing with some (not all, just some) of you. You claim that you have "more games", only that I also have Force Unleashed, Knight of the Old Republic, Republic Commando, Empire at War, Lego Star Wars series, Battlefront series and a bunch of others. You have...one game.
Stop acting like as if you know ANYTHING about Star Wars beyond the movies.
I said: go online to Google and type Star Wars canon policy.
George Lucas APPROVES of the books. If you don't like it, too bad. George Lucas = owner of Star Wars, so his word is FINAL. Your opinion < GL's STATEMENT
And the Star Wars cartoon IS part of the EU. The Expanded Universe = anything about SW outside of the movies. So stop going like "it's EU??? HAHAH" like as if that idea is ridiculous, because it's the truth.
Also, many books have events that directly translate into the movies.
Also, in some outside forums/blogs, some people make claims that Lord of the Rings universe (without Eru/Valar/etc.) could beat the Star Wars universe...because they claim that the wizards can beat the Jedi. See how stupid this is? They completely ignore Star War's FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY and just focus on the main characters...
Anyway...back on topic.
The following could beat 5:
Exitar
Odin
Silver Surfer (probably)
Superman (maybe)
Thor (maybe)
seriously, don't go there. there are plenty of star wars fans in this forum, myself included.
the books aren't G canon, so they're not allowed on this forum, as it's not a star wars EU one. simple as that. at most, we're allowing the comics and maybe the tv shows. nothing else.
also, novelisations only count when they're novelisations of the movies. that's about it.

Why aren't they allowed?

I understand that we shouldn't allow SW in a Comic Book vs Forum, however if we do allow SW for a thread then the EU IS considered by George Lucas to be canon, so why not allow it?
But oh well...
I'd say (again) that Exitar + Odin could easily clear 5, and Superman/Thor/Silver Surfer might be able to clear 5, especially Silver Surfer...

it's considered low level canon, and in no way equal to the movies or tv shows. so it's not allowed.

star wars has different levels of canon. its not like comics. there are different levels, from the movies downwards...By 1996, Licensing was keeping an in-house bible of reference materials as the volume of publications, facts, and figures grew to such unwieldy proportions that it became difficult to know everything relevant to a particular project. They finally decided something had to be done to organize the increasingly large collection of media which chronicled the Star Wars universe. A system of canon was developed that organized the materials into what was and wasn't fit for the Star Wars story.
In 2000, Lucas Licensing appointed Leland Chee to create a continuity tracking database referred to as the "Holocron". As with every other aspect having to do with the overall story of Star Wars, the Holocron follows the canon policy that has been in effect for years.
The Holocron is divided into 5 levels: G-canon, T-canon, C-canon, S-canon, and N-canon.
G-canon is absolute canon; the movies (their most recent release), the scripts, the novelizations of the movies, the radio plays, and any statements by George Lucas himself. G-canon overrides the lower levels of canon when there is a contradiction. Within G-canon, many fans follow an unofficial progression of canonicity where the movies are the highest canon, followed by the scripts, the novelizations, and then the radio plays.
T-canon refers to the canon level comprising only the two television shows: Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the Star Wars live-action TV series. Its precedence over C-Level canon was confirmed by Chee.
C-canon is primarily composed of elements from the Expanded Universe including books, comics, and games bearing the label of Star Wars. Games and RPG sourcebooks are a special case; the stories and general background information are themselves fully C-canon, but the other elements such as character/item statistics and gameplay are, with few exceptions, N-canon.
S-canon is secondary canon; the story itself is considered non-continuity, but the non-contradicting elements are still a canon part of the Star Wars universe. This includes things like the online roleplaying game Star Wars: Galaxies and certain elements of a few N-canon stories.
N-canon is non-canon. "What-if" stories (such as stories published under the Star Wars: Infinities label), game statistics, and anything else directly contradicted by higher canon ends up here. N-canon is the only level that is not considered official canon by Lucasfilm. A significant amount of material that was previously C-canon was rendered N-canon by the release of Episodes I-III.
