All Star Superman

TricksterPriest
Hmm. I honestly don't know. Supes has the power advantage, but Thanos has a greater variety of powers. But it may not be enough to overcome the sheer power of Superman. I'd say All-star Supes 6/10 for now.

Martian_mind
AS Supes is so overrated.....

Bouboumaster
Thanos would mope the Floor with nearly all versions of Sups. But this one is maybe to much.

However, with prep, Thanos win. Thanos always win with prep :P

boriquaking55
Allstar Supes isn't as powerful as PC, 1M, or Prime. In fact he's not even close to those versions of Superman (which were downright ridiculous)

Thanos could get majority on AS, I mean AS was strong but that was about it. There was nothing else about him that really was more impressive than run-of-the-mill Superman, if I remember correctly. I still think any competent herald could take him, as would Thanos. Way too versatile.

llagrok
Versatility prevails.

Thanos 7/10

Soljer
As of right now? Thanos.

After a few more issues of All Star? Never know.

AS Superman smiteth the Mad Titan with ease! mad

Wheer! Wheer! Wheer!

Fanboy alert! Fanboy alert!

He can create forcefields by extending his own bio-field.

He lifted 200 Quintillion tons with one arm.

He is completely immune to green Kryptonite.

He can project energy blasts.

He is so smart that he created a formula which gives a mortal his powers.

He kept The Sun Eater (Solaris), as a pet.

He traveled so fast, and hit the Bizarro planet with such force, that it moved from our Universe back to the Phantom Zone.

Basic strength feat, and wasn't he super -amped by the Sun at the time?

that probably wouldn't affect this fight.

I can't believe people eat that bullshit up. Seriously, that feat ..... just .... sounds.........retarded.

All-Star Supes could have been written better by a kid in grade-school, but he sounds like PreCrisis Supes so I give him more of a chance now.

Juntai
Solaris isn't the only Sun Eater, and I don't recall it being mentioned in the issue.. or are you just using it as a point of reference?

That actually gives credence to lot of the stuff Superman -- even the non All Star versions -- has done. Extending his bio-field IIRC, was explained in the Byrne revamp as also how he keeps many objects aloft efortlessly once lifted. Also, take a lot at his clones powers... Superboy. Notice most of his stuff is through extending his personal "TTK" field around objects.

A/S retained that strength.

How do I know this?


Because,

A) The dude is still gaining new powers, (as was revealed in the latest issue).

and

B) He is still dying due to an over absorption of solar energy, (which he is obviously retaining, or he wouldn't be dying).



That feat wasn't just a one time deal, (but alot of people try to disregard it as such)

lawl talk about a biased hater

Just because you dislike what happened, does not mean its not cannon and part of his character.

AS takes Thanos

roughrider
All-Star Superman is still dying due to sun overexposure, isn't he? His cells are burning out.
Thanos, doing his usual prep, finds this out and simply blasts him with a solar powered weapon to overlode Superman's system; he dies of heart failure.

I think its pretty obvious its not really killing him, since hes shown in the future and all, alive and healthy.

This is true, but it also shows that he is not going to die from the solar radiation.

Secondly it shows, that he becomes even more powerful

Matter manipulate? Yes

Change molecular Structure? Yes

Drain Life? Yes, as well as give life.

Teleport? With this intelligence and speed yes. Thanos does not have the power too teleport, he uses his tech to allow him to do so; AS could do the same and better.

Telepathy? Yes

Many more? Yes, he can give him self any power or ability he desires, he is able to fully replicate his powers in anyone he chooses.

What's the difference between matter manipulation and changing the molecular structure of things ? Are you trying to give Thanos an extra power ?

And since when can Thanos teleport under his own power ? He uses tech to do that.

And what are those "many more" you talk about ?

Juntai
Superman is very versatile in his own right. And yes, he does have telepathy. Can create projections of himself. Has created a boom-tube seemingly by flying fast. Used his heat vision to fix the atmosphere. Rubbed his hands together and sealed an wormhole in the space/time continuum. and hundreds of other things beyond what most consider his basic powerset. And yes, all current Superman...--- All Star only having a handful of issues out however, has not done a lot of these. It's part of the problem of one character with a vast history vs one halfway through its first year..

Basically free-of-continuity tales of Superman. Same for Bats and the other All Stars they planned on doing?

I heard that it was a whole Grant thing. The first 12 were used to set up the remaining GOKHM.

Yeah, what I meant was both Morrison and Quietly have stated they will be leaving after issue 12...

I personally hope the series stops there, otherwise the superior artwork and storytelling will change, (for the worse more than likely). sad

They just need to quit while they're ahead, or they will risk ruining this awesome character IMO.

Well, he gets more and more powerful all the time. Even regular Supes. He gets new powers and amps in power by simply being under the sun longer. I'm not talking issue to issue, but more year to year... Compare current Superman to late 80's or early 90's Superman to see the effects dramatically. Or compare to "Leap tall buildings, faster than a speeding bullet" Earth 2 Superan, to how we saw him in Crisis on Infinite Earths or Infinite Crisis.

The sales of each All Star comic are still pretty staggering, before it's hiatus, check out BM&RAS's numbers, alongside Superman. They should definately be liking that.

I gotta admit I enjoy a lot of the ultimate series. Ultimate Spiderman has been a consistently great series. The ultimates have great stories also ( event though it seems that the ultimates and All Star Batman are in a contest to see who can delay their book the longest).

Im happy to hear someone else call this Childish writing. It makes me think of 2 kids arguing on a playground. "Yeah well my hero can lift a billion pounds!" "Oh yeah, well mine can lift.... 100 quintillon pounds!"
"Oh yeah! Well mine can do twice that... with 1 hand!". Seriously, how do you write that? While we are at it, lets take away his only known weaknesses, make him a genius (because knowledge is really a power someone can just gain overnight) and lets have him defy logic by playing marbles with planets. All he needs is telepathy and ninja training.

Mider999
what you talking about redhottrash, its always childish righting, with thanos too, oh look at thanos go he's not only stronger then one herald now he can kick all there butts, or oh my gosh now he can take on odin, or LOOK HE'S ACTUALLY NOT DIEING FROM HIS FIGHT WITH TYRANT EEP!

It's part of the problem of one character with a vast history vs one halfway through its first year.. Ah, so you and nvrbeenwthagrl are grasping at his so-called 'boom-tube feat' in Superman/Batman. I think that it is eminently more reasonable to assume that he had a motherbox with him at the time. Indeed, he used a motherbox to travel to Apokolips the first time. He also completely planned the Darkseid encounter. There is no spontaneity element in the encounter. Therefore, if he intended to take him to the Source Wall, it would be logical for him to carry a motherbox with him in order to carry out the plan.

The fact that he used it prior to the boom-tube feat and that he was conscious of where he would take Darkseid is evidence that he had it with him, rather than him creating the boom-tube solo. Indeed, the inherent weakness in this argument is that he never commented, nor thought, nor exhibited any capability in the story to do it solo. The fact that he used a motherbox prior and was aware of Darkseid's arrival tips the argument towards the motherbox theory. Just my two cents.

The heatvision fixing the atmosphere. Can you elucidate that feat for me? I remember the one where he fixed the gravity of Earth with hv and ice-breath.

And personally, I am not impressed by his handling of the tear of reality by rubbing his hands together. All he did was create a massive amount of static electricity to create a field to contain it. He did not actually fix the tear, as it still remained. All he did was create a heavy electromagnetic field around it.

redhotrash
Think back to when Superman was created. Were there any powers out at that time they didnt give superman aside from telepathy and invisibility? He was flawed from the start, and has been made worse by writers conducting their comics like Dragon Ball Z episodes.
As for Thanos, yes he has gotten ridiculously strong, but thats the point of the character. He is "That big badguy" that the heroes need to rally against. Ever since he was created, his main driving point has basically been gaining power, through physical, mystical, and technological means. Villains are supposed to be the ones pulling off these feats.

Mider999
i know he's like big bad villain but i never see dr doom fighting tyrant and not breaking so much as a bone JUST cause, or fighting odin and not being mauled, when dr doom tried getting powers in secret wars, he almost got toasted by galactus, and again before that kang almost took him out. Im just saying that just cause its thanos doesnt mean he should be beating everyone in marvel, is there anyone who doesnt job to him.

Mider999
and im not a superman fan the guy can slip on a banana peal and die, I CAN LIFT MILLIONS OF POUNDS, AND FLY FAST ENOUGH TO CREATE A BOOM TUBE WHAT CAN YOU DO AGAINST ME HAHAHA........i can do this.........takes out a banana peel...........SUPERMAN GASP OH NO NOT THAT! SLIPS AND BREAKS HIS NECK

redhotrash
Thanos and Dr. Doom are on different levels. Thanos is a universal threat. Dr. Doom is a more earthbound enemy who is able to occasionally challenge the galatic level ones (which is part of his charm).

Mider999
yeah but when doom got the powers of the beyonder he became a universal threat actually omniversal probably.

redhotrash
Did Doom overpower anyone to get those powers? No, he did it tactfully. He came up with a plan and played it out through the entire Secret Wars. Things like that make Dr. Doom one of the most respected villains in Comics.

All respectable points of view for sure -- rare from you -- and I wasn't specifically pointing you out in the above post about how people throw away his feats, as I generally don't reference you or read your posts at all, given the way you overrationalise hyperbole to some characters, while downplaying others. Take the Tenebrous and Aegis vs Spectre thread for instance.


Actually, in Superman/Batman, what page exactly was he depicted as opening a Boom Tube, or having a motherbox, or anything of the sort?
Granted, I do believe it's could be rationalised that he may have had some boom tube tech on him, however, the story never wrote as much, or depicted such on panel iirc.

Granted, I do believe it's could be rationalised that he may have had some boom tube tech on him, however, the story never wrote as much, or depicted such on panel iirc. You have points of view that I consider reasonable as well. But it is apparent to me that you are perfectly willing to assume anything favorable to your position or your character, even though an equally or more plausible explanation exists. And the only leap of logic I made in T&A thread was that they a part of cosmic consonance like Galactus, considering their origins, their so-called roles as Proemiel Elders and their status as the only 3 Proemiel Elders left. I don't consider that hyperbole in the least. I made an analogy and projected similarities to make a point. Are you referring to some other "hyperbole," I made in that thread? Just because you don't believe Spectre to be beatable, doesn't change the fact that Spectre has been pantsed, manipulated, made mistakes, and forced to steal magic to win. And just because you are so quickly and perfectly willing to assume that all those are PIS-driven, doesn't mean that others are. It's only logical that most people on these forums start bringing him down a notch.

I don't have my comics in my NYC apartment. I leave em in my parent's house, there are just too many. But when they first go to and leave from Apokolips, they do have motherboxes with them. They make specific references to them. Your only rationalization that he did it himself is that they didn't depict him clicking one on. That is indeed, your sole reasoning for it. It is completely circumstantial. Considering they had motherboxes with them on their rescue mission and they are never depicted on panel to be holding them, it makes the later scene consistent with the artist's choice of depiction. Indeed, Turner was too lazy to even show what his interpretation of a motherbox was. That combined with Superman never hinting, thinking or showing such an ability beforehand and since then, makes your reasoning facially weak. Indeed, some of your contemporaries are not willing to go so far and assume as much as you do, batdude123, for instance. My reasoning is not just rational. It is obvious.

And you still didn't answer my question. What feat of Superman's do you think Superman-haters consider to be PIS? In my opinion, he's done nothing that you couldn't find another character doing or surpassing.

Mider, I really cant understand where your coming from... You keep comparing Dr. Doom to Thanos. Why not compare Stiltman to Thanos then? They are different level characters. Really not sure what you dont understand about this.

Because Doom IS Thanos.

Thanos just operates on a larger scale and has a set of nifty eternal cosmic powers.

TricksterPriest
Thanos has a better personality and he's Death's sugar daddy. laughing Not to mention Thanos is at least 2-3x as smart as Doom.

That's why I said 'On a larger scale' . Thus you scale everything (intelligence included) up appropriately.

Mider999
who else can i compare thanos to, there is nobody in marvel like him but he respects doom he said so himself in thanos the end.

TricksterPriest
yes As Thanos himself said: "For I am Thanos, a unique being in any reality."

There is no one like him. But yes, I would consider Doom a peer, if not in ability, then in personality and drive.

Evil_Ash
He's human. That's the only reason anyone likes Doom more than Thanos.

Fanboys can draw their erotic manga style-like pictures of Doom with their crappy fan-made character and write adult fiction about Doom without have to worry that he's some big ugly purple turtle.

Get it? dur

redhotrash
Doom has style and pizzazz damn it. As for Superman, it wouldnt surprise me of they gave him these retarded power boosts just so he wins the "Who'd win" arguments.

And the only leap of logic I made in T&A thread was that they a part of cosmic consonance like Galactus, considering their origins, their so-called roles as Proemiel Elders and their status as the only 3 Proemiel Elders left. I don't consider that hyperbole in the least. I made an analogy and projected similarities to make a point. Are you referring to some other "hyperbole," I made in that thread? Just because you don't believe Spectre to be beatable, doesn't change the fact that Spectre has been pantsed, manipulated, made mistakes, and forced to steal magic to win. And just because you are so quickly and perfectly willing to assume that all those are PIS-driven, doesn't mean that others are. It's only logical that most people on these forums start bringing him down a notch.

I don't have my comics in my NYC apartment. I leave em in my parent's house, there are just too many. But when they first go to and leave from Apokolips, they do have motherboxes with them. They make specific references to them. Your only rationalization that he did it himself is that they didn't depict him clicking one on. That is indeed, your sole reasoning for it. It is completely circumstantial. Considering they had motherboxes with them on their rescue mission and they are never depicted on panel to be holding them, it makes the later scene consistent with the artist's choice of depiction. Indeed, Turner was too lazy to even show what his interpretation of a motherbox was. That combined with Superman never hinting, thinking or showing such an ability beforehand and since then, makes your reasoning facially weak. Indeed, some of your contemporaries are not willing to go so far and assume as much as you do, batdude123, for instance. My reasoning is not just rational. It is obvious.

And you still didn't answer my question. What feat of Superman's do you think Superman-haters consider to be PIS? In my opinion, he's done nothing that you couldn't find another character doing or surpassing. However, the only person ever mentioning a boomtube or a motherbox prior to leaving is Barda, and her only mentioning of it was her reiterating the fact she is indeed the one with the motherbox as to why she should be allowed to go. The only other person we see doing anything with Barda's tech other than Barda, is Batman asking to borrow armor.


I dunno, let me grab a few instances for example;

Haven't read the fight myself, can't say.
Even though he's done so, three times in the past few years?

This one is from Superman heat visioning Despero.

Stop using PIS as evidence!!!!!

How about regarding his willing off magic and magic effects?

You're trying to make it out like he can fight off magic. Most of his magic showings are PIS. DC doesn't want their boy scout to lose all the time. Funny how magic works on other magical characters but not Superman roll eyes (sarcastic)

This is just from a minute or two of searching. I could easily go on.
Superman was voted to be the most hated character on the forum a handful of months ago, so it's easy to see why this takes place.

Superman shouldnt have any damn magic resistance! Ugh I cant stand what they do with him.

Go to the panel where they open a boom-tube and they carry off Kara. Do we see anybody taking out a motherbox or saying anything to a motherbox or even the motherbox being depicted at all? No. So it's consistent later on when a boom-tube opens but we don't actually see a mortherbox. And thanks for pointing this out: The fact that Barda forced Superman to take her along because he needed the motherbox to get to Apokolips is truly evidence that Superman couldn't make a boom-tube and needed one later on. I forgot about that little blackmailing that Barda pulled. Thanks for strengthening my argument.

Most people who hate the facts that Superman has beaten Darkseid and Despero are Darkseid and Despero fans. I never took issue with them. Captain America has willed off the effects of magic and goddesses. Superman doing so is no surprise to me. Such instances do not have to be written off to explain their occurrences. There is almost always a pretty simple and valid explanation for it. I do however, take issue with choosing the far-fetched conclusions when an easier solution is just as capable of explaining the incredulity of the scene.

Show me anything that says Captain America can take Dr. Strange

OneDumbG0
Are you asking me? He hasn't resisted Dr. Strange, not to my knowledge. However, he has fought off the magic from the Enchantress in 'Secret Wars.' I'm not sure I understand the point of your question.

( event though it seems that the ultimates and All Star Batman are in a contest to see who can delay their book the longest). Meh,

A/S Batman should take that trophy easy. laughing out loud

A/S Batman is a little more grungy, (eg. Not afraid to slap up Alfred) laughing out loud


But I haven't noticed too much more a a difference besides that.
