Originally posted by carver9It's about drama... If you’re not Skyfather level you’re not going to one shot Superman especially if he sees it coming.
The point I am getting at is, he one shotted Superman. If Prime was unable to do this, then that means that Despero punching power is>Prime. Even though Prime has the best strength feats, his punching power isnt on Despero, Titus, or even Konvikts level.
That’s why we try to average it out his feats.... It's like how Russian Zod was beating Superman and everybody... but then Superman got serious and beat him badly.
Superman actually beat Prime in that fight, he has also defeated Despero , Darksied, Dominas etc…
I don't know why you like to focus on little things like him getting one Shotted and using that to apply how strong the other guy was???
It's like me taking Thor getting shot by bullet and getting K.O’ed left and right to prove Captain America can beat him.
Seriously how many time have you seen Superman get one shotted when his weakness are not being exploited? Almost never.

Even though Supes was only down for a second or two, I suppose that would technically classify as one of the few times he's been 'KO'd' without any weakness exploitation.

Yea, I assumed that would have counted. He was even weakened by that punch as we saw later.
I'm not sure I can think of any other instances off the top of my head that were a true one shot. Thor really rocked his world with a hammer throw during the crossover. That might count as knock out like the Konvict seen. What else?
Originally posted by Starscream MCommon sense, I suppose. After Konvikt hit Superman, WW immediately came over and punched Konvikt. By the time she threw that punch, Supes was already starting to get back up. /shrug

Titus one shotted him twice.
Originally posted by Galan007that sounds slightly more than 2 seconds...but I'm not gonna quibble. I would say it would be under10 seconds.

as for what constitutes a knockout, well, in boxing a 10 count would constitute a knockout. I guess that would be as good a standard as any. a 1 0r 2 second downing would be more accurately characterized as being fazed.
Originally posted by Starscream MIt's not like Konvikt's hit just brought Superman to his knees or something... Supes went down flat on his back and his eyes were closed. He was (albeit briefly) knocked out.

You're right in saying that it wouldn't have constituted a boxing-style knockout, but it was a knockout nonetheless.
