Who wins?

Philosophía
Superman. He is stronger compared to Adam, than Adam is more durable compared to him, and he also has better range and speed.

Black Adam wins. More ruthless, magic spells doom for Superman whether it be pre reboot or Nu.

It's relevant to how Superman deals with magic post reboot, but you knew that, so drop it please.

or the strength of Amon Black Adam has a phenomenal level of super strength, able to easily bend steel, punch through walls, produce powerful shockwaves by claping his hands, and lift massive objects. Adam's strength is generally depicted of being on levels equal to those of Superman and Captain Marvel, though some writers have portrayed his strength as possibly outmatching them; on at least one occasion, he has been able to hold his own against an assemblage of the Justice League, Justice Society, Great Ten, Martian Manhunter (who has strength depicted as close to Superman) and the Teen Titans. ...............Adam is stronger than superman.

Not only he was amped in WWIII but he was actually said to be weaker than some heroes there.

you bring a cite from freakin wikipedia, which clearly state that black adam is as strong as superman, then the only mention of black adam being the closest to superman level was during the time he was amped, and somehow you came to the conclusion that makes him stronger? laughing

Superman was weakened with a magical plague at that time. He didn't say anything about Adam being most powerful on the planet. This was explicitly said about adam though.

Your scan shows Powergirl getting pimp slapped around...

Not sure why you think PG > BA

And the Superman vs CM fight had superman getting punched away twice, and the second time with Diana on CM's back.

Superman makes it a competitive fight, but i'd give the edge to Bladam for now.

That was due to his ferocity as stated. PG later restrained him alongside Alan when Cap transformed adam with lightning.

Shazam punched superman twice with magically amped punches and superman basically shrugged it off and then floored him with a punch. Wonder Woman was useless in that fight.

Superman would punch adam's teeth in here.

again how the hell does it serve your opinion that adam is stronger? first of all big fail for using internet sources instead of feats.
second of all even your sources are stating that at the best adam was in world war 3 he was an equal and even then he was amped.
by feats can you present any notable feats that put adam above superman? because i think you got confused in your own statements.

you were defending the statement of JBL, his statement was that black adam is stronger, if you are going to jump a wagon and defend someone make sure you read and understand his statement first and for all.
otherwise you might end up looking bad like right now.

Oh my god, what kind of crap is this?

Pre Reboot Black Adam absolutely MURDERSTOMPS DCnU Superman.

DCnU Superman is getting way too much credit, because of his Earth lifting feat, which is nonsensical by the way! But let's go with it and say that it is legit!

Strength does not equal striking power and the new Superman's striking power is nothing Black Adam could not take.

1. Here we have Superman saying that he has to take an opponent out fast, which should mean that he was not holding back that much:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/120679/2757692-superman_zone_013.jpg

The narration says that the attack could topple a small mountain.

2. Here we have Superman stating that he can level mountains with his bare fists:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11111/111114397/3218216-2013-07-24+07-32-50+-+superman+%282011-%29+022-004_%E7%9C%8B%E5%9B%BE%E7%8E%8B.jpg

3. Here the narration says that he is not holding back and that his punch can topple mountains:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/7/79345/2913208-superman__17___page_9.jpg
http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11111/111116419/3061211-the+true+power+of+superman+%28part+2%29.jpg

4. Here he is enraged, because he just killed someone (or at least he thinks so) and he delivers a punch to the ground, which levels the area - similar to leveling a small mountain one would assume:

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/125391/3182403-justice+league+of+america+%282013-%29+006-007.jpg

I'm telling you that Black Adam can take such an amount of punishment and that he most likely can dish out more than the new 52 Superman can handle.

Outside of the insane Earth lifting feat, where I could bring up arguments against it, but I won't, because it's still a high showing for Superman and that's fine ... he doesn't have much else which would speak for him if you face him up against the much more powerful and durable Pre Reboot powerhouses.

Pre Reboot Superman would stomp DCnU Superman judging by his encounters and overall feats and the same applies for Black Adam.

Bentley
So your argument is that Superman should be reduced to mountain level, while Adam should be somehow equaled to Pre Reboot Supes who has shattered planetoids on panel.

Yeah, kind of not getting this, unless I assume there is some double standard going on.

Enzeru
No, my arguement is that new DCnU characters should not be put against more powerful Pre Reboot characters, just because.

And let's not go overboard here with the planet destruction. The instance you most likely have in mind was a moon and not a planet and Superman needed to gather speed to increase his impact in order to destroy that moon and when he destroyed it, it knocked him out cold.
Superman's damange output is not on pair with some other characters, like it or not.

And I'm still not taking anything away from that feat, since it's still amazing, but in the end of the day he still stands massivly above DCnU Superman thanks to all of his other feats. Black Adam of course does not have the same high level feats, but it's still more than enough to take out DCnU Superman.

The same applies for all the other characters. Who would ever put Pre Reboot Wonder Woman versus DCnU Wonder Woman? DCnU Wonder Woman would get stomped and if anyone actually believes that DCnU Superman beats Pre Reboot Black Adam, especially considering Superman's high vulnerability to magic (much higher than Pre Reboot as we've seen) then the bias is strong within that one.

Characters and narration say that on panel all the time. In fact Thor's mightiest blows in secret wars was like tapping on a mountain. That doesn't mean shit. In fact when he was punching H'el the same mountain busting punches were sending shockwaves to earth's core and watchtower in upper atmosphere and the scientist which measure his strength specifically stated that his strength was higher than "his previous measured strength" which was the earth lifting scene.

Haha, the same old "superman knocked himself out destroying a moon" marvel fanboy routine. First it was a magical moon created by shadow thief's power and it was travelling at a very high speed. Superman destroyed it without any injury. Let's see what happens to the best herald marvel has to offer while amped to so level that he nearly exploded with power does to a moon.

He ****ing died. So from this point, I would just ignore all the other feats from him and say he gets killed by any moon destroying attack. Fair, isn't it?

When the narration tells you something then you better believe it since it's the most neutral and truthful source you'll get in comics.

Can it be stupid sometimes? Hell yes it can, but I posted four different instances of Superman's busting output being "reduced" to mountain busting levels.
Four different instances, not just one, where one could say it's some kind of writing induced stupidity, but four different instances.

I'm not saying that mountain busting is superior to Earth lifting. I'm saying that lifting does not equal striking.
I can benchpress 240 lbs, but that does not mean that I can punch through 240 lbs of steel.

"You forgot that I'm a Sentry fanboy?" What? That's a randomly thrown out insult without any kind of context at all.
Do yourself a favour and never come up with a statement like that again. It makes you look stupid.

Yeah ... the Silver Surfer endured planet busting attacks without even flinching and destroyed planets as the side-effect of his fights.

There we saw Superman getting knocked out after he collided with a moon - we saw him getting knocked out after two planets collided - we saw him getting knocked out after taking the explosion of a supernova to his face and I could go on.

Stop overhyping Superman ... he is a mid to high herald and that's it. There are people more powerful than him around.
He wins many of his fiction fights thanks to his speed and not because he has the base strength and durability to compete with some of the higher tier characters.

Does Pre Reboot Superman stand above Black Adam? Hell yes. Does DCnU Superman stand above Black Adam? Hell no.
And I hope for you that you don't think that either, but then again I saw you voting for Superman in some fights he would not be able to win.

Its stupid regardless. Superman was benchpressing earth for 5 days in the same issues and broke just a drop of sweat. All those instances are written by the same writer who did that. Does it makes sense anyway that somebody who has that level of strength can only bust mountains just because the narration said so? Apply some common sense here.



At such a level it does. You want to tell me that superman can lift earth for five days straight but can't punch at that level? His strength gets reduced to mountain level somehow while punching?
Its like saying you can lift 240 lbs but your punches don't carry that force.

Well, its true. You think people forgot your previous stunt here?




So did superman. In fact he has endured planets busting under red sun.

If you think those are low showings, you don't know much about how comics work. We've seen surfer getting knocked out by collision with space ships, we've seen him getting knocked out by asteroids, we've seen him getting knocked out by falling from space to a planet. These are low showings. Superman has tanked a blast equivalent to 50 supernovas while weakened from red sunlight, we've seen him taking blasts from two supreme beings of DCU, we've seen him taking blasts that ripped apart multiversal structures like source wall and so on.

Hahahaha. Superman would rip apart these higher tier characters if we go by his highest showings. He is the best herald there is.

Coming this from the ultimate sentry fanboy, I find it extremely amusing.

You seem to be throwing around phrases as "more powerful", but I don't really see your points. DCnU characters aren't weaker than Pre Reboot characters by principle, so prove of the contrary that doesn't resort to lowballing would be great.

Bring some Black Adam high end feats, let's see that legendary strength that according to so many people surpases Power Girl's.

I said planetoid my friend, I used that word because I knew that if you were the kind of poster that resorts to dismissing proof because of bias, you'd inmediately yell it was just a moon. Of course, that doesn't mean you're biased, but it's a pretty precedent for my prediction skills don't you think?

The idea that Superman needed speed to reach planetary destruction is also intriguing. But again, dwelling on old Superman feats doesn't solve much, considering you're downgrading them anyways and by extension downgrading any possibility of Black Adam matching DCNu Superman, since he's "around Superman's strength" *shrughs*

Eh, some of the things you bring up here are up in the air. I don't see a problem in DCnU Superman being Superior to BA, a character being brand new doesn't equate to him being a lesser incarntion of Superman.

h1a8
Pre boot superman has feats that put anything new superman has done to shame. He has multiple feats of providing forces above 50 earth weights.

It takes less than one earth weight of force to wreck a planet.
The Shadow moon would be considered a low showing in comparison to Superman's highest feats.

I believe
high end new superman>>>>> ba=average holding back pre boot superman.
But high end non holding back pre superman>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Both

-Pr-
Based on feats and actually READING SUPERMAN COMICS, DCNU Superman is at least as strong as Preboot Superman. He might very well be stronger too, but at the bare minimum, he's as strong, and arguably as fast.

People can throw out all of the "facts" they like about Adam. Hell, there's no shame in thinking Adam actually wins. He's a tough character. I just wonder at how many people in this thread think Adam wins because he's Adam, or simply because he's fighting Superman.

@Enzeru Lifting strength does factor in to striking strength. This is obvious.

Your technique and form matters too, but moreso when you're still at the human level.

A polar bear hits harder than any human, ever, by leaps and bounds. Why? Because its stronger.

Anyway, not sure who wins this. Only because I haven't seen enough speed feats from DCnU Superman to say he's equal to Pre-Reboot in that regard.

If he is, he beats Adam.
