Would you rather be a Saiyan or a Kryptonian

I would rather be Superman than Goku, but I'd rather be a Sayin than an average locked at base level Kryptonian. Sayin's keep growing more powerful with time done in battle. I'd just train to tear down mountains, and before you knew it, I'd be one shot killing base level Kryptonian's. Kryptonian people are dependant on the sun, while Sayin people have no dependencies. This means that in many situations, Sayins are vastly more powerful than Kryptonian people.

Stoic has a hyperbaric fart chamber to train in right now. His stamina breathing pure farts is better than most people breathing air.

This depends. Am I an average Kryptonian or Superman? Average Kryptonian's aren't doing anything remotely as cool as flying through Stars or doing interstellar flight.

And are we in the real world or in a comic Universe? In a comic Universe, I'll take being born a Saiyan over Kryptonian. In a few years, you'll go from Yamcha level, to kicking Gods in the face. In the real world, Kryptonian would be more fitting.

Yes, they are. Superman was operating below base Kryptonian level most of his career pre OWAW.

Supergirl was a 16 year old girl and she was above base level Superman, who was taught to suppress his power.

the gap between top kryptonians like superman, zod, to average kryptonians is miniscule comparing to the gap between Vegita, Goku and average Saiyans which is astronomical

Kryp, easy.

Hell, just getting into orbit would boost our powers massively. Most of the sun's rads get blocked by our ozone layer; once past that, the vacuum of space means there's essentially nothing in between us and the sun. So it's an effective sun dip - any gap there is between ’average’ Kryps and Superman/any other famous Kryp would be crossed pretty quickly.

Kryptonite is an issue only because Superman lets it be an issue.

They had neat toys for that, which were never used in comics (As far as I know.)

All he really needed to do was send in the robots first. Things literally had all his powers, and acted just like him.

I assume the Saiyan abilities also come with a tail, right? Aside from the fact that Saiyan tails can be an extremely exploitable weakness, you'd also be f*cked if you inadvertently glanced at a full moon.

...And not just f*cked because you'd turn into a berserker Great Ape, but also f*cked because one of the other heroes/villains on DC earth would likely have to kill you in order to stop your rampaging.

Kryptonians have hyper senses. The only way Saiyans would amount to anything is if you spend your life fighting. I could probably develop super tech using super speed too and handle most threats indirectly.

And how do you plan to learn to use these esoteric abilities when you're the only person in the world able to utilize Ki? Hit won't be able to teach you time manipulation because he isn't in DC. And this is assuming it isn't a natural ability of his species that he has honed, like Guldo's own time stop.

And as for matter manipulation and creation, do we see anyone who isn't some form of divine being make use of those abilities?

ill find a way, this is dc were talking about.. you act like there arent a billion magic or wish granting/reality warping objects out there, ill find a way 🙂

if i want any of those abilities ill get them.

A wide range phantom zone projector would stop literally every threat from Dragon Ball.

Even Zeno. It turns you into an immaterial ghost, that has no power (Bendis doesn't understand how the Zone works.)

Then surely you'd want to have the base abilities of a Kryp right off the bat to speed you along the way?

Without the need for additional training.

I'm frankly not sure how strong I'd rate an average Kryptonian compared to Superman, but if the difference is relatively minor? Yeah Kryptonian all the way.

Considering that I'd say Superman is stronger than any Saiyan pre-Super (so before God Ki, which a Saiyan would have trouble unlocking solo in DC, it might actually be impossible) that just makes Kryptonian a more enticing pick tbh.

No way in hell you'll convince me that anyone here would be able to achieve that level of power alone. The only one with the training know-how to do something like that was Brucie(god rest his soul.)

It's not fair, Vegeta works his ass off and achieves godhood through training, while retard Goku gets handed it and is stronger. 👇

Goku's a dick. 👆

Which makes no sense, since we were told multiple saiyans had to bestow one with their powers.

I hated that retcon though.

I'm also curious how those who are choosing to be a Saiyan plan on achieving these absurd levels of power? What are you going to do to get that powerful -- strap on a weight vest and do some pushups?

Maybe you're planning on one of the heroes or villains on DC earth beating you to the brink of death so you can zenkai? If so, bear in mind that there are no senzu beans here. If someone beats you that severely, you're going to spend the next several months in traction healing said injuries before you can 'train' again. What a shit way to gain power... I'll take just passively absorbing sunlight. 👆

Even with 'generic' Kryptonian powers, one can still fly into orbit. Then without the ozone layer, essentially get a sunamp. Hell, if UV rays are all that's needed, just grab a dozen large mirrors to reflect upon yourself, fly to the North Pole and sunamp in that fashion.

Or just fly to Spain and sit here:

You'll be Superman levels in no time. And from there, really it's just a snowball effect.

Kryptonian tech widen the gap even worse. Imagine your own Phantom Xone Projector? or million copies of your robot selves? or better yet, your own Sun Eater?

Kryptonian, stronger, faster, body and brain.

Kryptonian, no silly hair to deal with.
