In my earlier post I only said protection against TP, because yes the helmet can be removed. But with the helmet he will be safe against TP except maybe at high Phoenix levels and above. He has Juggernaut/Kryptonian strength to stop people taking it off, and unlike Cain, Supes should be smart enough, sensory aware enough, and superspeed fast enough to prevent almost anyone from removing the helmet.

Given how often Superman seems to get trashed these days by
- physical beatdowns, arm breakings etc.
- k-nite
- magic
- red sun radiation
- energy drain
- TP
- lighting/electricity stuff,
the ruby gem with it's massive physical invulnerability, magic resistance, uber healing factor, removal of any dependencies on food/air/water/solar radiation, and tp resistance is a good bet. Most of the other weapons couldn't give all of this. The PG would be able to provide most but perhaps not all of this.

It may be arguable how much the ruby gem counters k-nite & red sun radiation, though Juggernaut is immune to radiation. But even on the chance they still affected him, I think the Juggernaut's powers would keep him going as long as he could tolerate the pain.

Either ruby or quantum bands. Ruby simply because a lightspeed juggernaut that is immune to any most forms of injury is too hard to beat.

Quantum bands since it doesn't need charge or depletes like power ring.

I think the big interesting question is... If you surround superman with red sunlight... It wouldn't harm him but would prevent him from using the solar energy collected in his cells. (maybe it's been recommend but I'm sure I've read that about superman a few years back when he ended up on a planet with red sunlight).

Anyways even in that scenario you would still have Clark Kent with all the powers of juggernaut. And that by itself would not be an easy person to put down. Unless you are above herald or have ridiculous super speed.

I think the Q Bands would be a good pick. Theoretically he should be able to replicate a sun dip anytime he wants which would boost his stats. Also shouldn't he be able to manipulate magical powers and energies similar to what Vulcan did to Warlock? That is something he to do to defend himself against Magig. He would also be able to use them for offensive purposes. I think they compliment his existing power set the best.

Theoretically theres no sense to Supermans powers. Sunrays embody him with a metaphysical importance and the ability to alter reality by punching.

Phucking flex mentallo and hourman 1mill's shown more consistency in power and ability.

It's not as if Superman would be untouchable with the field, he'd just be harder to take down.

it's not penetrable by physical means. There are writers who didn't write Juggs with a force field and some that did. See Thor vs. Juggs. Juggs gains his force field back and then cannot even be touched by Thor.

In other issues Juggs can be easily touched, like being burned by chandelier, having sex with she-hulk, etc.

there are different version of Juggs, one with a force field and one without. The one with, his helmet cannot be removed unless he somehow turns his force field off. Therefore, the gem that grants a force field also grants the user with immunity to tp.

You can still touch him physically, and if you're strong enough to get through you can harm him.

Any forcefield makes the use "invulnerable" unless its met with sufficient force. Juggernaut's is no different.

The gem of cyttorak wouldn't be that much of a boost to Superman's durability.
