The PUNCHING MACHINE Gauntlet...

Saitama is the main protagonist in the "One-Punch Man" manga series. As you can probably deduce, his gimmick is ending opponents with a single punch... And with very little effort in most cases:

Thought about Flash, but in most cases he needs to accelerate for a significant distance to build up the speed/momentum/mass of a *true* IMP(Wally circled the EARTH when he did so in JLA, for example)... It wouldn't be fair if he were the only contestant with an increased acceleration distance.

...Plus, I REALLY didn't want this to turn into a pseudo-sciencey 'speed=mass' contest. ermm

Any particular reason why you'd put his punching power above some of the others here?

Juggy or SBP.

What feats does Saitama have that compares to punching through dimensions? Slagging planets and everything is fine,but dimensional barriers...that's insane.

Trion Juggernaut never -actually- punched through a dimension though did he? Pretty sure he was only shown doing so in the cover of uncanny x-men 369.

and didn't Superboy basically use the Guardians power to teleport into different dimensions- again not really punching through them?

😕

Even without Flash, topic could steer that way.

Trion Juggernaut 5,000
WBH 4,000
Superman 1 Mil 3,000
Superboy Prime 2,000

In that exact order

Eh, no...

Juggernaut was shredding through dimensions when he first obtained the Trion-amp in 'X-Men' v2 #88:

...And that was BEFORE he had even evolved into the full-blown Trion creature we saw an issue later in 'UXM' #369(which was presumably more powerful):

GA Prime ALSO physically busted through dimensions/universes. We saw this very explicitly, when he snagged Mxy from the 5th dimension:

...And the 5th dimension sits OUTSIDE the multiverse, btw, which makes Prime's feat a LOT more impressive:

____________________________________

Kal Kent didn't punch through 'dimensions', per se, but he DID punch through the timestream itself(tenS of thousandS of years into the future, to be exact):

*And considering S1M was also extremely weakened/depleted at the time(relative to his 'normal' levels, that is), I'm sure most will agree a feat like that is no less than equal to punching through dimensions. 🙂

You also left out SBP punching through the Phantom Zone.

Maybe.

...But when people start theorizing about Flash's all-out capabilities, it is a goddamn certainty. 😛

Hulk punched so hard he reversed time across the planet. I don't know where that sit with the fts mentioned here but it is insane.

@Galan007- I can't quote links yet, but thanks for the detailed info. I hadn't seen that scan of Juggy and completely forgot about the whole Prime capturing Mxyz thing. 😄

@carver9- You seem to know a lot about OPM, and I am legit curious, what are some of his best feats. From what I've read about him online, it seems like he might be a contender here.

Thanks! 😄

All of these are holding back punches from Saitama. Not even using a percentage of his power. This vid is a 1 through 8 best punches of Saitama.

1. He showed up while vaccine was contaminating the city with death killing fumes. He taps him and not only kill the guy (making him explode), that tap blew all of the contaminating vaccine out of the city from the shockwaves of his punch.
2. That giant that you see punching him, the guy was so tall that skyscrapers was the size of his toe. He was pure muscle. Saitama kills him with a holding back punch.
3. That insect girl. He appears right beside her, slaps her and splits the sky while at the same time, killing every mosquito in the city.
4The Tiger guy, not that impressive. He was one of the most powerful guys in the organization and got one punch killed as well.
5. That purple guy you see is ranked Demon level which means he is a planetary threat. The last time he went on a rage, nothing could stop him. Also, that room that be is crumbling up is made out of some of the most durable metal on the planet (Saitama is letting the guy pound on him)... Saitama one punch him without trying.
6. Him and Genos is practice fighting and the shockwaves from his hand splits the sky and it destroys all of the mountain around him. Remember, this is shockwaves from his punches that isn't even conmecting to his opponent.
7. He is fighting Sea King (my favorite character). Sea King is basically an amped Aquaman (faster, stronger, more durable imo) and this is at his base. When he is covered in water, he gets an amp and becomes even stronger, more durable, etc... Saitama taps him across the chest blowing a hole in him and not only that, the shockwaves from the punch clears the sky across the city, stopping the rain (a tap).
8. He is fighting a guy name Boros. A being that goes across the Cosmo challenging people and destroying their planet afterwards. He is a legit Herald being that would give our best Heralds a fight while beating some imo. He kicks Saitama from Earth with him crashing to the moon. Saitama returns. When he returns Boros realize his attacks are not doing anything and decides to use a blast to kill Saitama and blow up the planet. He flies, throw off this planet destroying blast. Saitama punch this blast and the shockwaves from his punch kills Boros (yes, kill him) and split the sky across the planet.

He also have a ft of using his holding back punch to destroy a planet destroying meteor and he punched a being to dust that had the weight of a black hole on top of him.

Loved that showing. 👆

...But my favorite part is *how* Saitama allegedly became that powerful -- his "training regimen" is f*cking hilarious:

100 push-ups + 100 sit-ups + 10km of running every single day for 3 years = baldness = Godhood. 😂

Galan, if you had to put him in a tier, where would you place him? Anime included.

To be frank, the most impressive thing about One Punch Man is the fluidity in the composition of the panels. When put together in a .gif animation it literally looks animated.

^ That really is beautiful. Like you say, very fluid/seamless. 👆

It's always hard comparing anime/manga to comics... I'd say he's at least herald-level, though.
