Yeah, I agree. If this is pre-DCnU then very few on that list could realistically beat a non-holding back Superman in a majority. CM, BA, and MM would have the best chances, imo. A big 😆 at Wonder Woman beating him. CA wouldn't beat him either.

Doomsday is the only one that can really take a beating from Superman, and fight him evenly (Pre Nu52 that is).

Assuming that Supes forgets he has super speed like he did in the comic when he fought Doomsday.

DCnU Superman blitzed Orion, and he pretty much laughed it off. Granted it was a pretty brief encounter.

You might want to look at their fight before quoting me. Looking at it, imo, Orion was winning.

Flash (Barry and Wally)

Supergirl
Power Girl
Captain Marvel
Black Adam

I always thought it would be Orion or Black Adam. I could never give it to Captain Marvel. He just seems to be Black Adam light.

How many times has Orion Pre DCNU ever been beat by Superman? Wasn't it only once and every other time a draw.

Flash wins 10/10.

At their best, a Flash spites the whole group, Superman included.

I'm not sure if Pre-FP Superman has any clean wins on Orion, he might have some that I'm not aware of, but Orion knocked out Superman once using the Astro Force.

I overlooked Orion somehow. I agree that he'd have just as much if not more of a chance of beating Superman than those other 3 I mentioned. Remember though, that Superman has defeated Darkseid himself (or rather a very powerful avatar if you believe that instead)and I think we can all agree that DS or even one of his more powerful avatars is >>>Orion.

It's Carver.

IMO Captain Atom could take a majority, and Orion looked better in the short scuffle him and Supes had, but that was far from definitive.

In the very same comic, Superman was said to be more powerful than Orion. He was holding back while Orion was trying to kill him. Despite that Superman hit him harder than anybody else who hit him.

Parasite laughed off a blitz from Superman too. Also Orion started the fight with a huge suckerpunch on a hallucinating superman who hit him harder than he has ever been hit.

No version of comic flash though. Forum flash might.

It was a surprise attack according to Superman. He also oneshotted Orion in the very next page.

What is your opinion on this thread?

It's a stupid thread.

Wally could. Superman was in that group of heroes when Wally was lending speed and blitzing through Anti Monitor's armor, and nobody saw him.

You can try to explain away all you want, and I'm not going to try and make that fight out to be more than it was, it was definitely very short and anything could have happened in the long run. But, from what was shown Orion clearly looked better, there's no dancing around that.

How could you possibly call that a surprise attack? Superman hit Orion first.
