Metro man vs All-Star Superman

Started by KingD194 pages

Metroman was so fast that he walked around the city, dicking around for a couple of hours(in his perspective), then came back to the observatory and no light had entered at all. Also, people and objects were frozen in time to the point where he could grab them, then put them back and they'd get stuck again. He also not only flew to Megamind(he was stuck in time as well), but came back to the observatory, closed the doors, then continued the conversation.

Metro Man and Superman are actually the same person.

Yes he was uber fast but so was Supes as stated earlier he moved at several times lightspeed so their speed is atleast comparable. What im saying is even if MM is faster he really doesnt have any strength feats showing he would stand a chance against the monsterly amped Kryptonian

I never argued that Metro Man had strength feats that put him in Supes league. I actually said that he probably couldn't take a full hit from Supes.

oh well then disregard plz

then, what's your point?

also, it's a known fact that all of Superman's powers are proportionate to to each other... we can't quantify his speed using that knowledge, but it's pretty damn certain that if his strength is godly, then so is his speed.

Well it's FTL.

Regardless though, AS Superman can't be harmed by Metro Man.

Does AS Supes still have the feat where he hits a planetary monster so hard that it runs away crying?

Solaris?

My point has always been that I consider Metro Man to hold the speed edge between them. I never had any doubts that Clark was stronger. And his powers aren't always directly proportionate. Like he held up the book of infinity, but he can't beat Flash in a race.

kind of a bad example seeing as Flash is a literal conduit for speed in that universe.

what i meant is that, what's your point regarding the outcome of this fight? If you don't think Metro Man can harm Superman, why continue to make the supposed gap in speed an issue?

I was trying to explain my point that Metro Man was faster to Jugg; that's basically all it was. And if the speed edge truly goes to him, which I believe it does. Supes will have a hard time laying a hand on him, as movement speed does not necessarily = combat/reaction/interation speed. We saw Clark fly from Earth to Sun in a few seconds, but he that was in a straight line and I'm assuming he still saw everything in a normal time frame. MM on the other hand saw everything at a literal stand still and actually plucked objects stuck in time into his speed.

And while his strength isn't on the same level, a hit from Metro Man at his hyper speeds could do damage. Similar to Flash hurting super durable folks with his hyper speed punches.

i see.

All-Star Superman didn't focus on speed feats and failed to focus on how Superman perceives things when he uses his speed; because of this, you assume he so much slower... well, it looks like this is turning into a matter of opinion, in which case, I'm removing myself.

It takes about 8mins for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth.

Superman traveled to the Sun and back to Earth in under a minute, right?

If he's traveling at multitudes the speed of light, everything around him would appear to be standing still, or possibly moving backwards in time if Einstein is correct.

Stop being silly.

To be fair, flight speed rarely translates into combat speed. Or at least, it doesn't automatically.

Point was about perception. Superman's senses are obviously heightened with his speed, otherwise he'd not know when to stop and would be either missing the Sun or crashing into the Earth and obliterating it.

Superman can perceive individual radio signals in the comic, can he in the movie?

I thought it was the other way around. When you go nearly the speed of light your perception of time slows down. So if you were moving very fast then one second for you would be a minute in "regular" time. So going light speed should feel like instantaneous travel.

That's what he just said.

That said, IRL physics in this case are not applicable. At the speed of light, time doesn't slow down. It stops. Whether Superman were to travel a hundred miles or a hundred lightyears at lightspeed, it would appear to take no time at all, and also appear to take no distance.

I've not watched All Star since it came out, since I didn't care too much for it. But they guy was basically Superman on super-steroids as far as his powers were concerned. From strength to intellect.

Nah. He has it backwards. If a single second for me is a minute for you then you would seem to be moving 60 times faster than normal.
