Well I asked you specifically if he can bust a planet with a punch, and you said yes. You can see it in the quote. So now you're saying he needs some sort of weak spot on the planet that causes a chain reaction to bust the planet? IOW it sounds like you're saying he can't bust a planet with a punch.Comic characters have busted planets with one punch/attack before, you know that right? (E.g, Drax,Terrax, Gladiator...well he took 3 punches.)
If you're saying that Superman can bust the planet [b]eventually
, after enough punches, that's obvious. Then the question becomes how many would he need? Based on actual evidence the scientist that measured his bench pressing feat said he displayed strength exceeding it when he fought H'el, and described it as "mountain" busting. This might seem a stretch to you, but Galan already showed you why pressing =/= strike power necessarily. Shockwaves were felt sure, but no continents were cracked, nore eastern boarders sunk like at the end of WWH.So how strong are his punches then? Even though they're plainly described as able to topple mountains, are you going to claim much greater? What proof will you have of this? The way you describe it, you make it seem like Superman would bust the planet in a few punches. [/B]
If it's in the same context as the other people who destroyed planets with punches then absolutely. The proof is that if he's strong enough to benchpress a planet he's obviously strong enough to bust it depending in the density of the planet. It seems like you all are trying to demote him a category, claiming he can't do something that should be obvious.
