Superman's "Minute or Less" Gauntlet

In this gauntlet, Superman is pitted against an opponent, with the stipulation that he must defeat said opponent in a minute or less. If he can, he moves on to the next one. If not, the gauntlet's over and Clark loses. To help with the time constraints:

- Superman will be fighting to the absolute best of his abilities. Superspeed, strength, ruthlessness, etc. This is "Dials to 11" Supes.

- Each fight will be begin with the opponents standing 1 mile from one another. Superman begins each battle with a blitz; if he knocks the opponent away, he will blitz to press his advantage. In turn, if Clark gets knocked away, he will immediately get up and blitz again to cover the distance.

However, Supes does not get rest between fights. Once an opponent is defeated, the next battle begins immediately. Each fight is to KO/death. No BFR.

How far does he get?

1. Ms. Marvel
2. Bleeding Edge Ironman
3. Blue Beetle (Jamie Reyes)
4. Binary
5. Wonder Woman (classic)
6. Beta Ray Bill
7. Firestorm (Ronnie)
8. Thor (Classic)
9. Silver Surfer
10. Classic Magus

Stops at 5. He'd beat Diana for sure, but not under a minute.

I'd actually say 4 for under a minute BB not to shabby on defense. But this is dependent on supes not trying to kill him as he's going all out. But if its for the kill makes it to 6 i think. Heatvision lobotomy would kill Diana.

She does have bracers and some of the best reflexes around, though.

he wont stop Binary

He's tried heatvisioning her face off. Didn't work.

And like Jake said, the bracers.

6 sounds about right.

i'd very much doubt he could beat diana in less than a minute.

B*tch goes down. ermmhappy

If he freezes an opponent and they remain frozen when the minute is up (even if they only got frozen a second ago and broke out a second later), does that count as winning?

what happens when he gets drained? and he aint blitzing noone whos arguably as fast

This. She's more than strong enough to last a minute vs Clark and heaven help him if she figures out he's solar powered, then it's lights out for the Man of Steel.

my sentiments exactly....she's being downplayed she could tank his punch and immediately drain him

He stops at Binary and she MIGHT beat him. If he by any chance he gets past her, Diana stops him dead in his tracks. She faced this type of Superman WHILE HOLDING BACK and stalemated him. He isn't taking her out in less than a minute, even if he decides to hit her with moon busting strength.

I'm ignorant on Binary. What has she done that leads people to believe she could weather an all-out blitz from Superman?

He's actually tried that, or close enough.

Sacrifice was all-out Superman and it took two and a half minutes and he didn't win.

grapple in a fist fight. She doesn't have a 3rd arm last i checked and it will only take a bit if his heatvision boils her eyes and bores into her brain.

Wow, that's almost exactly what he did in Sacrifice while trying to throw him into the sun. Didn't work then, though it did leave some nasty burns ^^

WW's a more skilled grapper than him, don't forget, so grabbing both arms is unlikely. Plus she can activate the Zeus's lightning power of her bracers even if he did, something he won't appreciate.

Don't forget knees and headbutting either.

Di is a melee-er, trying to deal with her in melee is perhaps not the best way to go about it 🙂

IMO, its debatable who could win out of Wondy and Supes. They are pretty much the same character with advantages that the other don't have.

By the way 99, you forgot to mention that Supes was amped during his rage scuffle against Wonder Woman. He isn't dropping her in less than a minute and its debatable who could win out of the 2 anyways.
