They are standing in the middle of New York city.

Given the loaded stips, I've seen nothing in terms of pure punching power that suggests that any of them could to be honest. Definitely not in three punches.

"Standing in the middle of New York city"

So basically you are asking could any of them destroy the Earth in 3 punches...

The answer is HELL NO; no one on that list has anywhere near the strength needed to destroy an Earth sized object in 3 punches...

On average even Skyfathers lack that kind of strength...

IMHO, nothing less than a Cube Being has the power to accomplish such a feat...

Honestly I can only see Superman achieving this feat

Colossus-Big C
They need flight, not even superman can stand still and punch the world to pieces he needs flight and to gain speen and hit the planet, give any of these guys superman level flight and speed and most do it

WBH is the only one who could do such a thing

That was one if the best "holy shyte" moments in comic history.

To those saying that x, y or z could do it, what are you basing this on?

I think the point is: those guys were flying. The OP stips would not allow for such an attack.

That's what I got from it. If I understand it right, the characters are just standing in the middle of the city, and they get three punches to try and reduce the planet Earth to rubble.

gogogadgetgo
so their just standing there and gonna punch the ground from that position?

Maybe Thor and Surfer could maybe, possibly, have the best chance of doing it by amping their punches. Surfer with his power cosmic and Thor with his Godly magic thingy.

Even then I doubt it.

oldsmokey
I can't really see anyone on this list doing it on a consistent basis under the conditions listed. I'm sure they all have outlier feats that would suggest it, but again nothing consistent.

Viltrumites from the series Invincible.

Are they a race or just these group of dudes? That was a pretty badass move, guessing they are in the high herald area?

oldsmokey
They are typically portrayed like a weaker version of Kryptonians. Flying, superspeed, superstrength, invulnerability. I don't believe they have heat vision or x-ray vision but may be misremembering.


That was a sick move, but if I remember correctly it didn't actually happen, it was a visual description of what they were capable of. I could be wrong, didn't sleep much last night. Still pretty dope.

I read up on these guys. Seem real brutal and badass like. Apparently a bunch of good guy Vs blew through the home planet. So maybe that was the scene. cool shit thumb up

Yeah you are right. That's the main character, his dad, and another V going through the planet.

Yep. During an arc called "The Viltrumite war". It was quietly the best event going during that particular time. Brutal stuff, but great story telling.

Pretty much my thought as well. Simply standing and punch is not enough momentum.

dmills
I'm still waiting around for any examples of any of these people doing anything like this. Ever.

TheHulk
Wonder Woman-Hell No
Doomsday-Maybe Yes
Darkseid-Maybe
WonderMan-No Way
Thor-Yes
Thing-Of Course Not,Even In Strongest Incarnation
Silver Surfer-Potenially can,But No
Juggernaut-I Think So
Colossus-Never

Mindset
None of them can.

What I was thinking as well.

Cogito
Wonder Woman, DD, Darkseid, and Thor are the only ones I see having any chance. I think it'd depend on the writer whether or not they could, but I don't see any of them ever doing it on panel.

Even if Thor or Darkseid were ever shown destroying a planet, they wouldn't be doing it with punches. WW would just never destroy a planet. DD could be shown doing it, I suppose, but his lack of flight would make that pretty stupid writing.

No it did happen. But an ally of theirs used some sort of dark matter ray on the planet before they rammed through it, so it was weakened. Invincible is a good read thumb up

Once again, even Skyfathers (on average) dont have the strength to just bust a planet with mere punches; especially one Earth sized...

Didn't world war hulk wreck Skaar? I forget why it was falling apart

This. None of them, at consistent levels would have much chance at this. Surfer could do it with blasts and what not,but via three punches? Everyones falling short on this one.

No one has shown anything needed to be able to pull this off, imo.

horrorwolf
None.

Sorry fanboys - but none on that list have any such feats that display such raw STANDING punching power.

janus77
Don't you think Thor could rock the planet with a really powerful punch? With three of them, I could buy him shattering the planet.

Hmm, maybe planets have gotten harder in recent times...

He could do some serious damage, but that does not included destroying earth with 3 standing punches to it's surface.
