Would you rather be a Saiyan or a Kryptonian

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

I hated that retcon though.

We don't know for sure Vegeta got it through training, though. I mean, did they show him powering up for the first time in training?

They could have had another Saiyan powwow off panel.

Goku stated that Vegeta attained god-tier power on his own, without a ritual:

But again, he only did that AFTER he saw Goku do it first, and AFTER he'd been training extensively with Whis. Prior to that, he was solidly capped at SSJ2.

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. 👆

Lol, that's not true at all. There's a reason why the Saiyans constantly need to eat senzu beans or have someone heal them with esoteric powers in order to quickly recover. Their 'healing factors' are about the same as an average human's, tbh.

For example, in the wake of his battle with Vegeta during the Saiyan saga, it would have taken Goku at least 4 MONTHS to heal from the injuries he sustained(and that's with all the advanced Capsule Corp. tech available on DB earth)... And he may not have ever got back to 'normal' again:

So unless you manage to team-up with someone who has the means to rapidly heal you on DC earth, the Saiyan path to power would be a VERY long(and likely painful) road. Don't know why you'd choose that when you could attain MUCH greater levels of power as a Kryptonian, just by walking to the park on a sunny day.

Kryps also have a HF, btw.

I would love seeing all our KMC Legendary Super Saiyans train for like 2 weeks and give up realizing how hard it is.

No one here would even last doing the routines of real life professional athletes, but folks expect to train like Goku?

The rest of us will chill in the sun, watching with our telescopic vision and making bets on who drops first.

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.

Exactly. It is such a simple decision that any other choice simply shows anti-Superman bias. It’s that simple

I forgot how ridiculous Krytonians really are. When in doubt, they can just dive into the sun and then shitstomp everyone. Surprised Superman or Supergirl doesn't use that tactic more often.

A Saiyan without a doubt. I love the planet buster attacks.

Hyperion Prime, wow it's been a while.

The answer is obvious Kryptonian. Just having SM lvl Superspeed alone would make you a beast, able to defeat 99% of your foes b4 their synaps can fire. Add Hulk lvl SS and Invulnerabilty and you become a neargod. Lets not forget Healing Factor that lets you heal from any wound in seconds to minutes and a lifespan estimated to be anywhere from 1000 yrs to Imortality as long as there's a yellow sun near you. I won't even go into enhenence senses, genius lvl intelligence and Kryptonian tech that light yrs ahead of anything on Earth.

As for the Sayan abilities while impressive they pale in comparison, and to be honest with your Kryptonian abilities you could easily invent something to give you similar abilities or travel all over the Universe learn MA and duplicate most of them anyway. Finally why in Earth you'd need to, for the most part exect for maybe the EB and turning into a Giant gorilla there's nothing they do you can't easily surpass.

Vegeta is still the best.

Vegeta is for Z fans

for us who read OG Dragon Ball as a kid, Goku is still number 1 followed by Krillin, Bulma and Roshi

Kryptonian

Toriyama wanted to stop after Frieza but the publisher wanted more is why, and it shows

If the x-ray vision worked like it does in the comics that be pretty hard to beat. Free t*tties everywhere.
