Who would survive?

Say that, in both Marvel and DC, Earth suddenly explodes for no apparent reason.

No one has any warning or advance knowledge of this (not even characters with precog/time travel/etc.) so no one will be doing anything to prepare for it.

Say the explosion is as intense as this:

Which characters would survive?

You'd have to be a solid herald to survive that, imo.

Sentry

Squirrel Girl. The Death Star being aimed at her is a decent feat for the doomsday machine though.

Well that goes without saying

Also keep in mind that if the character is on the surface of the Earth they will only take a relatively small part of the overall explosion. So this isn't asking who could tank the entire power of the blast at once.

Superman survived the destruction of krypton (16 times bigger than earth) under a red sun

This was byrne superman.
none

Even though that is true, everyone and everything on the planets surface would be exposed to a tremendous amount of heat and kenetic energy...

Without very highend "PIS'y" feats factoring into the equation (like Thor surviving Neutron Star forces and "merciless" Celestial attacks for example), no one on Marvel Earth is surviving...

Classic case of Writer Armor...

Sans PIS, Supes dies as well...

And factoring in the Kryptonite... 😕

I doubt that, guys like Thor and Sentry have survived much tougher stuff. There are also characters that can regenerate from energy or live on the astral plane or something

From marvel, Surfer(he's still on earth right?), I'd say Thor too. It should be well under his ability but lately marvel is being a d*ckass in regards to Thor. Frankay richards smiles through it and proceeds to rebuild earth.

From dc: Superman, and probably a fair amount of his physical peers.

This also includes people who can survive it by powers other than durability (for example, being intangible, regenerating, or being so fast they can escape into space and outrun the explosion).

@Endless Mike

The impact that killed off the Dinosaurs contained a force roughly equal to 10000 times the worlds entire nuclear arsenal detonating simutaneously; that blast only created a crater the size of a small state...

You literally need billions of impacts like this happening simutanously to destroy the Earth; everyone on the Earths surface would be exposes to these incredible energies...

No one is surving without PIS...

Do tell what's PIS in that scene?

I just mentioned guys who have survived that and more. And that is nothing to franklin richards who, PIS or no PIS, would be just fine after that explosion.

That's PIS? Do you know who superman is?

Yeah, a guy who frequently wears the strongest writer armor money can buy...

Trust me, I know all of the magnitude of the energies involved. I've done calculations for all of these things. Lots of characters have durability feats/others powers to survive this.
