Grant Morrison's AC Superman

vs.

The Thing (current, none of that Worthy crap).

How does he fare?

*Note: As Action Comics is an ongoing title that will progress and Superman's ability/power will obviously increase given time, feel free to point out exactly when Morrison's Superman will be powerful enough to beat Thing for the majority. As of now, we'll go with AC#1 as a judge and weigh in more as the issues and stories develop.

I think you could make a solid case for AC#1 Superman beating Ben right now. In terms of durability he's not as tough yet, but they're probably close in strength and Supes has the edge in speed.

I don't know how quickly he'll develop in AC, but I'm guessing it won't take very long to decisively win.

True, I'm also thinking the heat vision is potent even now.

Probably. Speed is no question, as he's already been shown catching bullets. His durability might be an issue; I dunno yet.

This Kal has Ben beat in Speed, probably equals Ben in strength, and loses to Ben in durability.

I dunno. Those kinds of trains can weigh several hundred tons, and going 200mph hits pretty hard. Especially seeing as Superman was trying to slow it down, not stop it dead.

Not saying it puts him above Thing, but I'd say it's close if it's the standard for him at that age.

He's taken far harder shots in his time and Superman is just starting out so I'd have to see more to see where this scales on his (Superman's) average.
