Even if the rip-off has on panel faster flight and h2h speed? greater application of strength? Does not need the sun? Can amp himself simply by believing?

Lastly why does it matter that Glads has similar powers to Supes? ..i'll give you a hint: It doesn't wink

Superman, definately. Didn't anyone see how mad he was when Lois' live was on the line. Didn't anyone see how mad he got at DS, or even Imperiax?

When Gladiator is mad, he punches apart planets and flies through million mile wide stars.

Except gladiator doesn't have faster flight speed,never showed faster hand to hand speed,superman matches and has surpassed like every single strength feat of gladiators,sun doesn't matter since its not like its all the sudden going to be gone and the only time he has amped himself into believing anything was against a weak piece of crap like vulcan.

Gladiator's handspeed was 'nearly invisible' to Reed Richards and his computers. So at the very least they're even. That's being generous.

Pushing planets out of their orbit, three shotting a planet, crushing a star with his bare hands? No.

You have already been shown on panel several times of him flying light years in seconds and flying to rao at about 500 thousand times the speed of light,superman years ago can easily vibrate hypersonic and was creating sonic booms with his hand speed and that wasn't a superman who is going all out not even close,superman can shatter planets,hes held a black hole from expanding into a solar system sized black hole,moved the wheels of a solar system sized monster among many other strength feats and all those never happened with him going all out and were before his current upgrades he has,the x-men are a bunch of rookies and its not like the imperiel guard is a top level team or anything.

Enyalus
No, his speed was never stated on panel.

Plenty of people go from one galaxy to another in a few panels. Dumb Drax even did similar. Nova (herald), too. That's just something the writers do to move the plot along. Its absolutely no indication of speed.

vlaaad12345
Its obviously no indication of speed when we have the exact things needed to measure speed which is time(less then a day) and distance(2.3million lightyears) or time less then a minute and distance 25 light years..sorry but no its a valid speed feat hell when he delivered the entropy bomb into a sun eater that was lightyears across he was weakened by red sun radiation and still made it there and out before 3 hours was up,hes faster then 100x the speed of light deal with it.

Enyalus
And its stated on panel so you can show me, right?

Wasn't Pa wondering if Superman was faster than the speed of light in that instance, and even said he wasn't because he was tired?

I'm not saying he isn't, and I'm not saying he is... but you can't use a scan that questions if Superman is faster than light to try and show him traveling many x's the speed of light. erm

What he was wondering has nothing to do with the on panel evidence of him traveling multi light years in under 3 hours,and of course hes wondering if hes ftl considering he has been tanking planet rending red sun blasts for an extended amount of time and was getting weaker and weaker the closer he got to the things core,so he traveled a minimum of 2+light years in under 3 hours while drastically weakened which puts him at around 400 times the speed of light and thats one of his worse speed feats,he of course has the whole I flew 25 light years in a couple sentences feat and the I flew over 500 thousand times the speeed of light to put prime through rao feat,if we have a time and a distance there is no reason we can't calculate a speed.

I exaggerate, because I've already made my point and now my patience is a bit stretched.

On panel, Glads is 100x faster than light. Plenty of people have traveled across galaxies and universes before. I think Thor's even done it. Titan spacecrafts have done so. Ronan did it. I'm sure you can think of examples in DC where characters do so.

It's not that big of a deal. Writers don't pay attention to specifics a lot of times. Hell, I posted scans of Blue Supes flying Cyborg to the sun in a panel. You'd think that was multiple times FTL, but in fact he states he's going just under the speed of light.

Unless its stated, it doesn't mean much.

The feat I posted had nothing to do with sentences but a measure of time. Supes made the round trip in literally a matter of seconds.

Back to this fight it reminds me of the Emperor Joker story arch where Joker smashes Supes around (with myx's powers) even removes his heart and Supes still keeps on fighting. The guy operates on sheer will power when the chips are down he'd handle Glads.

To each his own I've seen Supes move at speeds well in excess of 100xlight speed when he's needed to.

Cause pa is the exact expert on supes right?what was said on panel is that superman traveled several lightyears in under 3 hours while weakened there is no arguing it at all not even a little,again we have a distance we have a time we can make a calculation and that calculation says superman shits on gladiators speed im sorry that hurts your feelings,flying to different galaxies in no time at all is a speed feat,flying from vega to earth in under a minute is a speed feat.

Lord Feron
I'm not saying Vulcan is really great or anything and far from even being better than Supes. I just want to say, he was able to affect any type of energy on any wavelength or spectrum. That is his power set.

But when Glads became serious Vulcan should have been able to at least slow him down. Hit him with something, Not like Glads dodged anything or whatever. He simple believed that he couldn't be effected by him and Vulcan, he didn't say "Dman how did you get so strong!" we was more confused. As if he had no powers whatsever. I thought that was amazing... I hope you understand what i'm saying. Glads was able to completely nullify vulcan's powers on him.

Also if you want to talk about will power and psioic induced strength, glads got that in spades over Supes. Yeah his is determined but That is essentially the source of Glad's powers.

vlaaad12345
Superman when determined was unstoppable as well,and people seem to be forgetting t-vo here....

You know trying to apply real and exact math to comics is a terrible idea, right? embarrasment

Didn't we go over this in that "Flash thread"

Writers sometimes have no idea the speed or strength they are allowing their characters exemplify.

vlaaad12345
Its doesn't really matter on panel visiuals show it happening,we have seen it several times superman has traveled measurable distances in measurable time,hell im using dialogue for one of supermans feats and that dialogue has him crossing a nebula in under 3 hours while drained from red sun...again>>>>>>>>>>>100x the speed of light.

illadelph12
Hmm...

I'd actually say Gladiator as he tends to be more ruthless, and doesn't have any immediate weaknesses for Supes to exploit beyond his confidence which isn't a large factor in this match due to the stakes. It's pretty much a draw in terms of overall power. If combat moves anywhere near a red sun Supes is in big trouble because Gladiator won't be effected.

However, I also admittedly hate Superman.

He's the narrator of the story. He's what the writer intended, but from the viewpoint of a comic character. In fact, Pa knows how far it is away, and yet he still questions how fast Superman can travel...
Writer's intention>what fans make of it.
No matter how much the scene makes sense or not.

You're an idiot if you think I care about all around speed... in fact, I said I don't care in my first post that I quoted you in (apparently you're comprehension is as bad as your posts). All I'm saying is that that particular scene wasn't supposed to be Superman traveling at an uber ridiculous flight speed.

That's neat. I don't care about the other feats, as I said before.

vlaaad12345
T-vo says superman doesn't even have to fight him physically...or he can make illusions and blind side gladiator,except that scene you keep talking about is after he was nearly all the way depowered and im talking about when he originally flew there so again you have no argument,and my posts are just fine.

He says I don't know so we must automatically assume hes not ftl,we will ignore other instances of ftl travel we will also ignore superman flying several light years in under 3 hours(several hundred times the speed of light)right again my posts are just fine and you have no point at all,he flew the size of a nebula(several hundred light years)while weakened and in under 3 hours the end no arguing no debating it happened period.

A vaguely defined mental power of Superman's that allows him to have psychic powers,dispel magic,tk...pretty much anything the plot can call for I believe this is about the best explanation I could find for ithttp://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=adventuresofsuperman585jk0.jpg

The big run on sentence says that your posts are awesome!

You do realize that he knew he was light years away, and yet he still says that he doesn't know if Superman is above light speed, don't you?

We do ignore other scenes, because you're trying to validate the scene to me, not validate his travel speed. Otherwise, you wouldn't have continued this discussion after I told you many times that I was only talking about that particular scene.

The Sun Eater was the size of a Nebula, it doesn't mean he was anywhere close to it... or that he flew that distance.

Also, it isn't several hundred times the speed of light if you want to get technical, it's several thousand and more at the very least. erm
If you're flying let's say two light yearz in three hours, that means you're traveling in three hours the distance that it would take light two years to reach.

And again thats after superman is nearly powerless after his powers were evaporating like morning dew after he has takin multiple red sun shots from a freaking sun eater and its also just pa kents opinion.

During that instance at the end he probably wasn't ftl considering he had lost so much power merely going inside the the thing...and he had to go inside it to deliver the bomb..............so yes he flew that distance and yes he was close to it as in inside the freaking thing jesus I give up if you want to believe he wasn't ftl then be my guest its a retarded thing to believe but go for it.

It's just his opinion, yet he's the writer's intended narrator... Hell, following that logic, we don't know if the Sun Eater was the size of a nebula, nor do we know he was light years away... it was merely opinions. Great logic. erm

How do we know he wasn't going FTL since that was only Pa's opinion? smile

I was only following what you were saying.
Either way, just because the Sun Eater was a Nebula in size, it doesn't mean Superman traveled that distance.

OK, I'll believe what I want.

Yes we do know it was light years away,superman has super sight and can see what size something is from far away,we know he flew inside it.

Theres a difference between the guy who has no super powers and doesn't know how fast superman travels and the hard math and supermans own comments using his super powers if you can't see that I don't know what to tell you,but im not sure why we are arguing this because even when we take what pa kent says IT ONLY SAYS I DON'T KNOW it doesn't say he doesn't go at the speed of light or anything like that,he crossed light years in under 3 hours fact that puts him at over 100x the speed of light fact there is no more arguing fact.

Pa said he was light years away. smile

The same guy said that he was light years away, and that he didn't know if Superman can travel faster than light.

He says he doesn't know if he usually travels faster than light (indicating that he wasn't traveling that speed in the issue).
What it does tell us though, is the writer intended to not make him traveling at such a ridiculous speed that you can bust your rocks off to later. He questions if Superman can travel faster than light, and yet he would know how far Clark has traveled. Which means that even though it doesn't make sense, it means he wasn't traveling at thousands of times the speed of light, and it means he wasn't traveling faster than the speed of light in that issue.

xJLxKing
Superman CAN travel faster then SOL outside of earths atmosphere. However, I don't think an actualy number is given. My guess is Superman can go about 5x speed of light(SOL). He has broken through a Black hole which requires the speed to be higher then SOL. He has taken DS to the Sun in a few seconds. He even traveled from earth to Saturn in 4 minutes(I forgot the exact time).

I'm Bran

Anyway, I highly doubt that Earth's atmosphere would slow him down... he just doesn't need to ever go such speed on the planet.

It's not about slowing him down. If I remember correctly, it was stated that it would create something like a black hole, or just make a huge amount of damage, so he avoids hitting SOL

Well yeah!

Eel O'Brien
Glads may be 100x FTL but his battle feats put him roughly even with Thor and Hyperion; which is right around where Supes would fall.

Neither character will be outclassed here. Glads punches won't be 1000x faster than Supes and Supes isn't going to T-VO Glads out of existence. This will just be a straight up hard fight.

I think Supes would win, as he has more examples of going to the mat when there's a lot at stake. Of course, my opinion may be a little biased...

Superman battle speed is better Imo

he technically is.

he was created long before the conflict of infinite earths, and has not been rebooted.

anyway, stalemate. after a long deadlock, they'd realize that beating each other would only result in the other's civilization (or just earth in supes case) being decimated. i bet superman would be the first to yield since superman would have to answer to cosmic entities if he allowed a whole galaxy's worth of beings die just for one planet.

This is good. It defies the OP, but it does seem more in line with Supes' character.

He wouldn't be willing to accept any deaths and would do all he could to find a solution where everyone lives.

kudos psycho gundam.

Nah, I just credit characters with feats they have performed and follow the full capcity forum rules.

Superman won't wipe out innocent shi'ar civilians. He won't even destroy their starships if he knows that the people on board would be killed.

disable? sure. exterminate? not a chance.

full capacity doesn't make him evil.

full capacity doesn't make him evil. that's the beauty of superman, he'd rather forfeit his home and loved ones for the greater good no matter what.

if the threat is from some guy saying he's going to destroy earth/the shi'ar galaxy, trust that kal and....kal will be gunning for them instead of fighting each other.

that should be a crossover comic, you'd all buy it.

Yes I would. Especially if they shook hands at the end, like in Thanos #10.

He wouldn't trade Lex life for Lois' if he had no other choice?

So what if he had to make a choice? He'd let errbody die?

no, he wouldn't. he believes it would cheapen the value of lois' life. she'd be alive because he let somebody else die.

of course not. he'd do his best to make sure there was as little life lost as possible. but it would be through his own failure to protect rather than him actually saying 'yeah kill those ones instead'

okay no way Superman would choose Luthor over Lois. If he had to choose one life and there was no other way to save both of them, he would choose Lois.

he's superman. he'd believe he could save both. it's not about choosing lois over lex. he just genuinely believes that if he wants to save someone, he can.

he's superman. he's the definition of the word optimism. he's not going to believe he can't...

also, meant to post this earlier, to illustrate why he won't trade lives:

Lois, Martha and John Kent, and really the fate of the entire world. Action Comics 825, where Gog pretty much owns everyone but Doomsday.

Gogs

plural. stick out tongue

a kryptonite poisoned, heart attack suffering superman walked through plenty of them before being put down.

So he had a choice between saving his friends & family or saving the rest of the world?

Walked through them while they were all clinging to him like babies before bringing him down, yeah.

erm That was kinda lame.

The latter.

Zack Fair
Supes wouldn't kill. Not even for Lois. I remember Superman being extremely desperate to save Lois's life after the Joker poisoned her. The Joker told him that the only way to save Lois was killing him. Supes didn't and Lois was healthy next morning. All Joker wanted was to break Supes down by having him kill.

Sounds like Superman is a dumbass.

If he was a regular person and a foreign army threatened to take over his land, rape his woman and enslave his kids I guess he wouldn't kill anyone.....because it would lessen the value of their lives?? Taking another life to protect one doesn't decrease its value, it increases it.

he's a hero. heroes save lives. he refuses to put his personal feelings and wants above those of others.

fact is, he's not a normal person. he doesn't have to kill to win a war.

Ditto. & these situations are still different from choosing to save a good life or that of a criminal like Lex. & doing all that tuff guy shit while being poisoned w/K and having a heart attack is one of the reasons people hate Supes. That's the dumbest feat I've ever heard of. The writer should be placed in a stock.

Superman fought and even led the Asgardian army and even helped them win the war against Hades without taking a single life.

Okay. Here's the sitrep. Mxy shows up & he mad as hell(he just read about Superman doing all that tuff stuff while being poisoned & having a heart attack smile ). Now he's more eviler than Skeletor. He fuks Superman up something fierce & then magically takes all of Supes powers. He then presents Lois & Lex and says "who do you want to live? You can't save both & not choosing any results in the death of both. & I might just kill everybody else 'cuz you wouldn't play ball. The only person who I won't kill is you". WW busts thru the window and puts the lasso on Mxy. Mxy then says "I ain't playin'. I'ma kill errbody if you don't choose & can't nobody stop me! This is not a game" He then sends WW to another dimension. What does Superman do?
