Clarks' Equal......

I don't know about that. I don't see Sentry and Hyperion inspiring anyone the same way Superman does to his super hero comrades and the general population. Gladiator might have that effect on the Imperial guard though.

Closest thing to that aspect of Superman would be Cap IMO. Then again Sin left it pretty vague. We could be arguing about two different things and both of us could be right.

I understand why you may not be getting it. Let's take Batman for example, he and Grayson, were once very hokey characters, that said things like holy smokes, and gadzooks to a variety of other very square things. The same thing applies here with other characters. It's just how they are, or were written. The Sentry could have taken a number of roads, but the writers of Marvel dropped the ball on him.

However the vagueness of the OP like you said could make us both right.

Billy phuckin' Batson.

Captain Marvel.

When DC comics bought captain marvel they Powered him down to be supermans equal. The original cap would trash even PC Superman.

Not a traditional versus forum bout but I was wondering who if anyone is Supermans' equal? Not forum-wise either I mean in character as displayed in comics....

Let me clarify....I meant equal not just feat wise but someone who could seamlessly replace kal

If you say so.

Supreme of Image comics could easily replace Superman in every way, but he would need an attitude adjustment, as would Majestic, Gladiator, and Hyperion. Blue Marvel, and Icon, would only need to be written up as a leader of some association that protects whatever and there you have it. While there are others that would perhaps do even better than Superman, namely the Plutonian, or Quantum of Image comics.

My opinion is based off of the premise of a world without Superman, while having the same obstacles to face on a daily basis.

Black Adam.

You mean as a father character in the comic book world? My guess is no

If you mean as replacing Superman? Well yes with another Superman, they did it in the Silver Age when they replaced Kal-L the "original" Superman with earth 1 Superman.

By someone else becoming the Main character of DCU?
I think it will be really hard but not impossible.
Batman will be the next option.

Kyle Rayner could do everything Superman did except lose to DD.

I agree with this, even though Sentry, Gladiator, and Hyperion are powerful, Superman personality, will power, demeanour is irreplaceable. Gladiator boast to freaking much...he is full of confidence but he is too freaking cocky. Hyperion just sucks and he is cocky as well with an attitude of a teenager, and Sentry, I don't even need to say anything about him. In order to fill Supes shoes, your will power needs to be at 100%, all of these guys fail in that department (even though I can see Sentry and Gladiator breaking Supermans neck ).

Good Ol' Carter. He starts saying something very thoughtful and intelligent, he ends it with something that sets him 3 steps back. 😄

From the OP's clarification, it seems that, from that I've read, Blue Marvel would be the only one coming close to meeting the personality part of the equation out of the characters you gave.

Doomsday wouldn't find Kyle worthy of killing.

DD didn't stuff Lois Lane in a fridge, though.

I don't think there is a hero who could replace superman.
I mean what makes superman super? when you consider this, I think superman is peerless and can't be replaced.

Superboy Prime learned that, and why.

Or rather, he WOULD have learned it and why if he weren't so emo to blame it all on life not being fair.
