How the hell can Superman beat Silver Surfer?

How can a bloodlusted Superman beat a bloodlusted Silver Surfer?

Bentley Seitei

By punching I'm guessing.

The same way that Thor can, by going in close-combat and putting the shit out of Silver Surfer ! >_<

Punching blasting, finger flicking.

Why wouldn't a bloodlusted Surfer just create kryptonite? Or red sun radiation? Or both?

Because he's been punched?

All-out, but abiding typical levels of comic realism, Superman would simply beat the hell out of Surfer.

But in any fight where powers are used a lot more realistically than is the comics norm, Surfer annihilates Superman and all-out or not matters not.

Not sure what you mean by bloodlusted.

Surfer has surprisingly weak blasting power. Nothing Superman couldnt rush through to knock him out.

In a fight where powers would be used realistically, Surfer wouldn't even know the fight had started before Superman caves his head in.

This is surprisingly overlooked on the forum.

His blasts have been powerful enough to leave behind singularities as a side effect. Doesn't sound that weak to me.

He hasn't done that every time though has he to be fair. Otherwise he would walk up to Thanos just blast him and walk off. Blast Odin and walk off.

If you mean in Annihilation, he purposely left that there to simultaneously mark Airwalkers passing and keep Ravenous from taking his power.
That wasn't a side effect of a random blast.

He's a troll, pay him no attention. Ignore list is the way to go.

JBL Wrestling God

He can't. Unless Surfer let's him.

abhilegend Prince of All Saiyans

Of course he can. Surfer can't even beat Henshaw let alone Superman.

Whether or not he did it on purpose doesn't take away from the feat. If he can unleash that much energy, then he can unleash that much energy. That's like trying to downplay a feat where Supes lifts something by saying that he intended to lift it. It would actually be more damning if he DIDN'T mean to do such a thing. Like the time he evolved a planet billion years in moments by trying to put all his energy into healing the planet. Him doing that on accident doesn't mean that he could do such a thing and actually control the process.

It being intentional doesn't take away from the fact that the large black hole was a side effect of his energy discharge. He wanted to release that much energy... and he did it successfully.

I don't think you know what side effect means.

You mean intended effect.

No I mean side effect. And intended/planned side effect, but side effect.

If it's the main intent, it's not a side effect. What is this shit, goober?

side effect is an effect, whether therapeutic or adverse, that is secondary to the one intended;

Creating a black hole wasn't a secondary - it was the whole purpose of his discharge.

If I intend punch you in the face, you getting punched in the face is not a side effect, because that's what I wanted to do.

Your girlfriend crying would be a side effect.

Surfer didn't shoot a black hole out of his hand, his action was to release a butt load of energy. The formation of the blackhole was a secondary effect of that energy discharge.

By the same token, a doctor can prescibe a drug that treats depression and causes weightloss as a side effect of the medication to someone who's overweight with the intended effect of causing the patient to lose weight and the weightloss still be considered a side effect of the medication.
