the superman/adam issue gets far too much credence imo. superman has never HAD an extended, "i-have-to-put-adam-down" fight against adam. the times they HAVE met have been very brief and utterly meaningless. thor, iirc, also used weakness exploitation to take out bb who was easily holding his own until thor felt some 'electrical disturbance' or other due to bolt's antenna i think.... adam would NOT have that option, so the comparison is faulty on multiple fronts. i also don'think the speed issue would be nearly big enough to earn adam wins on its merit alone. bolt would whether the initial attack and then regroup and the fight would be on.
is adam strong, fast and durable enough to take bolt out? absolutely. easily? not even close imo though perhaps for a majority. i wonder how many people would take thor against bolt WITHOUT the hammer, because, that, essentially, is what adam is, except of course for the speed.

It's the quality, not the quantity.
Superman thought Adam was rampaging in the middle of Metropolis, and he claimed he wasn't holding back like usual. And he still couldn't budge him from one small part of the city.
Or put another way, the fact Adam's never been jobbed out to Superman like almost everyone from Ultraman to Lobo to Darkseid at some point puts him in a pretty exclusive club. 🙂

I'm surprised out of all these years, Adam has never been in a knock down dragout fight with him. The closest was Ultraman in Forever Evil. I'd say Adam would split with Superman.

mah, still not buying the superman comparison though. a brief wrestling bout? not enough. with one shot herc blasted supes and bloodied his nose. doesn't mean i'm putting dc herc on supes level though... in a full on battle, supes would take adam out imo. be tough at times, but supes can hit levels he can't. least imo.
as for thor w/o hammer vs bolt--i'd def take boltagon for a good majority.

What? The Rock prolly didn't know who BA was before he was approached for the role so joking or not, don't act like he's some sort of authority.
Rock's favorite characters are Black Adam and John Stewart.

Well, there's the speed factor.That, and Superman being unable to push Adam out of the center of Metropolis. You could argue Superman holding back punches and hv, but he was clearly trying with all his might to manhandle him away from the city, and it was a stalemate.
BB has a lot of ways to put him down, but Adam should get initiative..
Gladiator's superior speed failed to be a factor against BB.... twice. And by superior I mean superior to BA.

Adam would crush him in h2h.
Assuming Black Adam has speed comparable to Supes..no, Blackbolt really doesn't "make a fight" out of this.

This argument is so silly. SPEED is a huge factor in a fight. That is a big big difference between fighting Adam and fighting Thor. Blackbolt won't see Adam coming, at all. Nor will he be able to land a hit if BA uses his speed.
