Superman vs Silver Surfer (tournament style)

sorry. i meant it's only been cemented in recent years. there've been times when kryptonite shouldn't have worked when it did, so that was where there was a problem. with johns being head boy at dc though, i don't see it happening again.

i don't see surfer getting it from him anyways. 😛

Yeah but what makes you think that things like the Cosmic King were mistakes? The idea is that K-nite from X universe can't hurt Kryptonian from Y universe, it's never been said to my knowledge that a character from X universe can't create K-nite from Y universe.

Has Supes ever dodged something that was moving at over 1,000 times lightspeed? Even if he has, how would he mount any kind of offense if he spent the whole time doing his best to stay the f*ck away from Surfer? It would just be a matter of time, eventually Surfer would always win even if he didn't throw Supes a curve and alter his tactics slightly...

and this is why i didn't want to get in to it. 😛

it was pre johns.

Yeah but has John's ever said that it's impossible for characters to create K-nite from another universe, or just that K-nite from another universe won't affect Supes?

Why... cause he hasn't 😛 .

i honestly don't believe surfer can do that with his board. i know you don't agree, hence trouble.

it's the latter i think. i don't see any reason why if surfer knew the composition of kryptonite that he wouldn't be able to make it. it's the effectiveness that i'd argue about.

but i won't. 😛

Hard to say... has Supes ever dodged anything moving as fast as Surfer's board can move?

Effectiveness how? Are you still talking about the alternate universe thing or about Supes resistance to the substance? Because he doesn't really have any resistance to Gold K-nite that I'm aware of...

Nice dodge. No pun intended.

Whether or not Supes has ever dodged anything moving as quickly as Surfer's board is capable of though is pretty simple to answer...

No dodge, it's really hard to say because it depends on how you view Supes's reflexes.

I'm pretty sure he's dodged the Flash before.

Was Flash confirmed as moving at a speed comparible to that which I'm talking about for Surfer or was it just some unquanfied speed?

What, charge his board with energy to use offensively? Of course he can...

more the speed than the energy. and yes, i'd seen that before. see?

though i do wonder if it can be charged with more exotic energies.

the alternate universe thing.

imo superman's reflexes are around lightspeed, if not slightly above or below it.

Exotic? We're talking about light.

But as we've already established it's never been said that someone from an alternate universe can't create K-nite that won't work, just that K-nite from another universe can't work. That means that previous instances of characters creating K-nite that works on Supes are perfectly valid.

Smh...

I just wanted to say that Superman has crossed galactic distances in minutes.... more than a few times. That is a lot faster than 1000x speed of light.

Scans of him traversing galaxies in minutes post-crisis?

Travel Speed =/= reaction speed.

Also, can't beat this feat:

no.

it's not the power cosmic, though. unless it is and i'm forgetting something?

and?

Red Sun's been rectonned, it now shuts off Supes's powers completely rather than just weaken him. Every cell Surfer's board comes into contact with will become effectively "human" so it's pretty much a guaranteed decapitation...

The board can't move very fast in the beginning of Superman's time.
Superman could simply pop Surfer and combo him to ko before the board even gets to Superman.

Shit, i'd forgotten about Infinite Crisis...

No it hasn't been. Otherwise Superman would have been dead going through a red sun.

Surfer dominates. This is one of Superman's biggest matchup nightmares ever created on his level.
