Yes.

Unless Superman stands there and lets him BFR him

The way Superman fights, and his huge vulnerability to magic means Strange gets a number of wins in either fight.

Strange tells Superman that he could end this fight with but a gesture and gets punched in the face mid-sentence.

Strange easy in both

Eon Blue
Supes easy in both

KingD19
The fact is in a forum fight, Strange is the most powerful sorcerer on the planet. And Superman's greatest weakness aside from Kryptonite is magic.

Strange will definitely take some wins.

carver9
Superman wins. Strange is mid Herald.

KingD19
But he has spells at a level which will clearly hurt Superman. As just recently he was nearly cut to ribbons by magical teeth from a witch.

This is Classic Strange, the guy that could beat Skyfather-level beings, hold the IG in check, knock Galactus unconscious, etc. This is not current Strange, who has received one of the bigger depowerings in comic history.

I've had this discussion before. Probably more than once. I know that Strange has low feats, feats without his auto-shield, feats that place him below Thor or Surfer, even in his Classic incarnation.

I also know that Kal's magic weakness is often overstated; that it exists, but isn't the insta-win Superman detractors think.

But I think that if we take an intelligent Strange that is utilizing the powers in his toolbox, and grant some kind of edge to Strange due to the magic weakness, that he wins. It doesn't take a simultaneous high-balling of one and low-balling of another. Just a well-rounded Strange using his full arsenal.

Or maybe Superman rage-punches his way through everything. It's comics, so it's certainly possible. Or maybe we grant Kal a speedblitz, before Strange can invoke any of his time manipulation spells or other defenses. I don't see it as the likeliest outcome, but it's certainly possible.

That better?

He's been owned by many more Skyfather level characters than vice versa. In fact, he hasn't really beaten many skyfather level characters if at all, and even rarer without a plot device outside his power in a thread like this.

The IG was only using one gem at a time. And Strange had every artifact at his disposal.

Galactus was on the verge of death and was almost getting matched by Thor the entire fight. He was rapidly shrinking the whole time and Strange got him at his weakest. Then we have their "fight" where Galactus wasn't trying at all. Then he knocked him out because Strange couldn't handle the images Galactus flooded his mind with. Then in subsequent issues Strange was panicking when Galactus was fighting Agamotto and was a flea next to them, and he got knocked out easily by Khoon (who Galactus assimilated easily). Strange is nothing to Galactus.

But you pretty much described Superman. Minus the 'depowering'
Strange might seem like a PIS god at times, but Superman invented PIS in comics. The guy T-vo'd Dominus who was capable of easily dismissing Kismet at the time who at the very least is on the level of Nabu (skyfather level). Darkseid fiascos, etc.

At the end of the day, shields in comics seem to piss Superman off enough to attack them full force. Strange's shields have consistently been broken by beings lesser than Superman. And Superman definitely has the strength to KO Strange. As well as speed has been a factor many times for Strange.
It's a wash.

The only chance Strange has is if speed is equalized. And that's not me assuming Superman is a blitz God either. It's just that even his basic attacks are too quick for Strange. And he's not exactly hard to dodge either.

Digi
That scan beatdown Bran posted in the Ownage thread went ahead and changed my mind. If nothing else, I'm not ready to go to bat against someone who is obviously more prepared than I. I know there's a counter-argument to be made, but it's not something I want to take the time to craft.

Oh I agree. But if you're going about beating skyfathers and whatnot route, you're against the wrong guy. Strange beats skyfathers by prep or some kind of plot device. Superman? He just powers through and bashes their faces in. Here is superman vs a guy with the powers of several elder gods who folded entire JLA like nothing and earlier dismissed Zauriel's holy sword

And Strange has localized time stops, reality manipulation, and defenses/attacks against similarly powered beings. And Superman's magic weakness does exist in some form. It's all in how you see the fight going down.

I think the prevailing wisdom is that Strange wins with prep. Depending on what we grant as standard equipment, I think he still has an edge sans prep. But it's not a 10/10 scenario. Or rather, there's too many permutations of how their powers could interact to say it's 10/10 either way with any certainty.

Superman has resisted reality manipulations from beings far more powerful than Strange like Dominus. His shields would be broken against superman, lets be serious.

Magic weakness? Didn't help mordru much when Superman punched his teeth out

Without prep, Superman speedblitzes to crush Strange's hands (hey, worked for Hulk, and w/o the speedblitz).

With prep, would be a good comic fight. Strange probably gets the better of Superman, but as the fight drags on, Supes gets closer to victory.

This fight can go many ways since Superman doesn't kill and wouldn't know how much power to apply in the beginning (Strange is really a human with shields). Here is how the fights can go in general.

1. Superman using speed and bashing Strange with the correct amount of force right away. But the problem is that Superman doesn't know how much power to apply. So luck would play a role here.

2. Superman underestimating Strange's shields or playing with him to gauge his power level, giving Strange time to manipulate time, space, reality, etc.

Strange's stronger shields is through prep.
His autoshields are something that Superman on average can bypass only if Superman can find out how much force to apply without killing Strange (again Superman knows that Strange is a human).
But since this is guess work then Strange will gain at least a second or two to operate. So fight can go either way with Superman probably edging Strange out in a slight majority of all the possible battles.

Weren't you the one saying that Fernus would be Surfer because of his ability to go intagible? If it's that easy, then Strange goes intangible and unleashes hell on Superman.

Looks like you are changing the rules of engagement just because you are now arguing for Superman. How come Superman didn't just "punch out" Nekron since he can punch out abstracts? And as far as plot devices, Superman is the biggest living plot device in the history of all comics and many Superman fans admit to that when they say "He's as strong as the story needs to be."

Superman typically does not go all out with a millisecond speed blitz on a foe he doesn't know. If that were the case, Superman titles would be three or four panels long and would cost about 35 cents.

Oh, Superman goes around doing a ton of unexplainable chit. That's pretty much the basis of the character. However, there are tons of examples of inconsistency just like any other character. In the example I used, Superman was completely useless.

As far as using his heat vision to hit intagible beings (LOL) if Superman can do it, then Surfer can do it, probably to a more effective level since he is superior in the EP department.

Carver's right this time.

Doesn't it also feel like the feats being posted are more selective toward Kal than Strange? I mean, I get that there are a few on a crusade to drop Strange down a peg. And they have some good points, and have helped me reassess my idea of Strange quite a bit. But if an outsider was walking into this thread with no prior knowledge, he'd have a very, very skewed view of Strange's actual capabilities. Take any character with 1000+ total appearances, scan-spam all their worst showings, and they all look like utter chumps. But it's not a complete picture.

I say that Strange has the power to beat Superman.

So basically he escaped it rather than resisting it very much unlike what you said prior.

So there was no time-stop resistance feat?

Zack Fair
Don't really want to get into the debate and I haven't even seen the scan but if there is no time-stop resistance feat...there is the feat of Superman being able to recognize when time stop is happening and react accordingly. If what you guys are saying is true anyways.

Sixth_Winged
And not to derail but I also think strange has little to no chance no prep unless and its his match to lose with prep.

Sixth_Winged
Also I dont think time stop will be a viable tactic in scenario 1 as it takes quite a bit of time to unleash a time stop.

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/4262/drstrangetimestop4zv.jpg

I dont think he will even be able to afford to steel his thoughts before the first casual speedblitzed punch caves his jaw.

Just look at the Arion vs. Superman battle in the Camelot Falls arc. Strange can do everything Arion could do there, except times like a billion. And Supes needed a plot device shield from the Phantom Stranger in that battle or he would have died.

Then I could point out a lot of strange's fight with bricks. Just look at what hulk did to him in Defenders. Arion was sorcerer supreme of DC at one point too IIRC.

Or Superman tanks his attacks and bashes strange's head in like he did against Mordru. How's that for a fight?

Him saying "something is happening" doesn't mean he knew time stop was happening. Its obvious he was spared since there was nothing shown of him using super speed to bypass time stop.

If overcame you meant evaded by moving out of the way, well then yeah superman did overcame it.

If you meant it as what you just posted before of resisting it then absolutely not.

Also waverider clearly wasn't operating on normal on that scan so the only thing that could be attributed to superman there is being able to sense time disruption process by a not-so optimal time manipulator. Nothing else should be.

Which is utter nonsense. There is no way for him to recognize that time was about to stop (The moment it did stop, it would be to late.) What's this super power called?

That whole area was stopped in time. There was no evading.

Why not? Give a reasoning.

Which is utter nonsense. There is no way for him to recognize that time was about to stop (The moment it did stop, it would be to late.) What's this super power called?
Then you would be floored to know that superman can operate in an area with no time at all.

Its called super-speed and it has been used several times by Flash to overcome time-stops. Why surprised that superman can do that too?

So the blast that was shot during that scene can traverse time as well?

That's energy of linear men which have traversed time-space. You picked the absolute last thing to nitpick about.

Sigh I give up on the futility of trying to debate this as your interpretation of that is blatantly skewed. Add to the fact there is no reasonable explanation on how superman can even resist time stop to begin with even going by comic book pseudo-science standards.

Any mods there to make a ruling on that time "resistance" feat?

And also lol at operating normally where there is no time at all.

Take it with writers who wrote this. I'm just saying what was stated in the comic.

Who is to say Superman or any random char can or cannot sense time stopping.

I mean really?

Well generally if you don't have any time-based powers there's no reason you could do that.
