Silver Surfer vs Superman Power Competition

Because Silver Surfer is an energy absorber plus Superman heat vision is powered by sun so how can it be hotter then the source of the powers.

A feat of energy absorbtion

He hyper metabolises it, wwould be one explanation.

It's like how is it that I can chew and digest meat, when I get my energy from meat.

I seriously doubt Silver Surfer would be if SS and steal energy from a Black Hole then he can absorb Superman's heat vision.

He nearly went crazy when he tried to absorb a portion of the Sun, IIRC.

Wow, tentacle rape. That is embarrassing. I never took that showing seriously but it is funny.

There's no precedent for anything like that. It's just wishful thinking. You are entitled to your opinion though.

Sure, he could.

Why not? It can be hotter than stars and has enough force to knock people like Despero down.

The same thing has been said of Gladiator's heat vision. Considering Thor waded through Superman's HV without even being singed it won't be causing the Surfer any damage. That was Superman fighting for his very universe too.

Sounds good 👆

Crossovers don't count.

Maybe not but it's the only time you see characters from different universes battle each other. If nothing else, it's interesting.

Yeah, but that was an incredibly high end showing of energy durability. I didn't think it possible for any Top Tier to wade through heat vision like that, not even Superman himself. Clark's heat vision can reach levels of everything but some of Surfer's very high end energy attacks.

Surfer's incredibly durable, but even he would be hurt and knocked around by heat vision. If you think it wouldn't cause Surfer any damage, I would have to heavily disagree.

Not sure what the Gladiator comment is supposed to mean. We've seen him -and Hyperion- use heat vision on other Top Tiers, when hit, it's been extremely effective. Nova even once absorbed a blast of Gladiator's own heat vision to one shot him (Temporary knock out), the process ****ed up Nova as well.

Isn't surfer Immune to heat? I thought that was a specific part of his powerset.

He's not immune to heat (How could he be?) but due to his nature and purpose, he's more resistant than most. For example, he's more likely to fly through a Supernova unharmed than most Top Tiers.

Not that it really matters, a writer could very well have him laugh off an exploding Sun while be sent flying and reeling from a blast of heat vision.

Well, it happened. I was surprised that Thor didn't show any physical damage after that. It's a higher-end showing for him.

I didn't say that is wouldn't hurt him. I said that it wouldn't actually damage his silvery shell.

Have either Gladiator or Hyperion used their vision on the Surfer? The only time I re-call was in the non-continuity marvel Adventures when Gladiator blasted the Surfer in the face with heat vision. It hurt him but he didn't really miss a beat.

Can Superman's heat vision take the Surfer out? Yes, but not with any sort of consistency. He's better off trying to make it a brawl.

I can't actually recall a time where he was injured by heat though.

not even 1/4 of a big bang's worth of heat?

Not that I'm disagreeing with you but Galactus did say that the Surfer was basically immune to all manner of temperature extremes when he made him.

According to the Planck theory, the temperature microseconds after the big bang would incinerate pretty much anything. It would be billions and billions of times hotter than the core of the sun. Of course, nothing in the universe has been proven to be anywhere near that hot.
