Blue Marvel vs Byrne era Superman

Superman as he was up to, but not including, his fight with Doomsday.

Now, I obviously have my own opinion about this thread, and I'll like to have a healthy debate about it. That opinions is that Superman is superior, all across the board. Don't mistake that for bait - like I said, I want a civilized discussion.

Some rules to keep it civilized:
a). No mocking anybody for their opinion
b). Arguments and feats. I wouldn't like people to start derailing the thread by posting substanceless claims.

Any takers? 🙂

Bait, non bait, I don't see why it matters, what else do we have to talk about.

Superman wins

It's not bait in the sense that I won't ridicule people for having a different opinion. I'm quite eager to argue against them, and I don't see what's bad in that - that's what the forum is for.

All I ask is for the discussion to be argument based.

With that said...
Why do you think Superman wins? 😂

Question, has this Superman dropped an elite with a single hit?

Just FYI Byrne wrote Superman for roughly 2 years (across several titles/mini series) for roughly two years.
By Death of Superman it had been several years since he was in charge of Superman's development; the character had already undergone several power ups.
Please use correct bait terminology. 👆

If you're reffering to the Sentry fight, Blue Marvel didn't drop him with one hit - they fight for two pages, exchanging several hits [in which Sentry had the advantage]. It just happened that Sentry stopped hitting him enough for Blue Marvel to have an opening and send Sentry into orbit.

Byrne era is not soley contained to Byrne written titles. It's a convention of title, naming the period before Superman's death at the hands of Doomsday, for simplicity's sake (and due to the nature of the stories, but let's not overchallenge your brain with complexity)

Over the few years he was ultra prolific though. Generated something like a dozen trades worth of material, and the impact of those stories had them carrying those plot threads for the next couple years. This era of pre-Doomsday is most often called Byrne Era.

On one hand, what he did in redirecting Superman and the DCU's fate and the amount of effort and whatnot is nothing short of incredible.
On the other hand, that era of comics weren't the real Superman and that's why pretty much everything before Doomsday got written out of continuity.

Superman knocking out Eclipsed Lar Gand is far more impressive than Adam stunning sentry with a punch.

How is Byrne era any less "real" then current?

I thought he was one of the most "human" Supermen, with the Superman/man/kryptionian dynamic.

It's one of the few times he felt like a character, and not a checklist of tropes.

Adam wins, and it's not even close.

Yep. Superman was powerful back then but it takes a higher level of power to take Adam out which means, anything within the DOS days are just not enough. Where have you been Stoic?
