Superman vs Silver Surfer (No Weakness Exploitation)

No exploitation of Superman's weakness to red sunlight or kryptonite.

Who wins?

Superman.

Surfer.

Superman.

Surfer. He is just overall more powerful.

Surfer..he's more versatile and powerful overall..

Surfer. More powerful and more durable.

It could go either way, imo.

And really, to be fair to Surfer, he doesn't need to rely on weakness exploitation to cement a victory over Superman. He's powerful enough to damage him without doing so. All in all, Surfer likely sets the pace for the fight. If he just runs and guns, like he does so a vast majority of the time, I see Kal pushing through his offense and beating him. If he becomes forum mode (🙄) Surfer, Kal gets wasted. Good fight.

I've never bought the Surfer "uses cosmic awareness to detect red sun radiation weakness" argument anyway. Having said that, I've read just about every Supes appearance since the reboot and I've seen nothing that puts him in Norrin's league. Surfer crushes him. For now anyway.

surfer the majority but could go either way i guess....

Just out of curiousity, what has Supes done currently that makes ppl think it could go either way?

I don't think people are taking DCnU Superman into account per this thread. I, for one, assumed it was pre-reboot.

Same here.

yeah @ star scream which superman are you referring to in this battle against ss ?

surfer>supes>thor>surfer>supes>thor etc.

Per forum rules I thought we use the current versions unless otherwise stated. If in fact we're talking pre reboot, I actually favor Supes for the slight majority tbh.

Pre reboot: Superman.
Post reboot: Surfer.

imo.

Superman.

Could Superman replicate the moves that the Runner did when he, well you know....?

Split. Surfer will have trouble with Supes strength. Supes will have trouble with Surfer's Versatility advantage.

Dnt know about reboot Supes though.

You seem to rank a lot of people above Dc's most powerful hero..
