Who's the weakest person who can physically injure Superman? (No weakness exploit)

Please explain.

Batman. He`s the goddamn batman.

Old jokes are old, Batman couldn't go jack under the OP stips.

What does injure mean, scratch? Or like knock to the ground? Someone with adamantium for the former, some incarnation of the Hulk for the latter.

Thing iron fist

Thing isn't injuring Superman. Knock him down, sure, but he's not going to damage bones or organs.

Zealot. Her sword can hurt Majestic, it can hurt Superman. It's not magic, kryptonite, etc. either, it's just that good.

ok, to clarify, injure would mean bruising or drawing blood

I think Nemesis is the one with the creation engine swords. Zealot mentioned in the last Wildcats run that her sword wasn't comparable to Zealots...

Swords forged in the Creation engine are the ones that can hurt anything, including omnipotents.

Equus drew blood, and Val Armorr broke both his legs.

A pretty low being accomplished drawing blood from Supes, it was composed of crocodile DNA and nano kevlar or some shit.

You could easily argue that Equus had magic.

Weakest. That sword was made from the Creation Engine, it can cut concepts. You or I could cut him with it. Does that make us able to injure Superman? I'm pretty sure it violates the spirit of the thread.

A lot of people can pierce his skin (I do believe thing could give him a bloody lip or nose) but truly damaging him...no. Taking him out of a fight...that's where it becomes hard.

Zealot does not have a creation engine sword and her sword can't cut anything, but her swords are still good enough to cut Maj, iirc.

He did have magic. His claws was made of Angel bones.

Is angelic power truly magic, though?

But point conceded that it violates the spirit of the thread, so...

Lobo beat him bloody and badly in their first post crisis meeting.

In DOS he took a punch from Doomsday that was said could topple a mountain with seems to me weird if somebody weaker then Doomsday ever hurt Supes before.

Shadowcat.

Phase her knee into his brain, then become tangible. Will certainly hurt.

Thing's fists alone would have a hard time breaching his skin. Unless we mean current Superman.

That was why I brought it up.

I really can't remember the context neither do I know who that guy / that thing was. But the fact that Supes only listed "simple" stuff it was composed of lead me to believe it wasn't very powerful and IIRC it wasn't a real threat to Supes either it just was able to cut him.

It was mentioned by someone else iirc.

It was able to give Supergirl real trouble too, and was able to defeat Superman robots that Clark had built himself, so he's an opponent to be reckoned with. Karate Kid is just... Well, Batman-ish.
