Superman, he has better durability feats.

Superman. Though obviously not when it comes to magical attacks.

Exactly what I was going to say. thumb up

I remember on the animated fight between Shazam and Superman....Shazam kept hitting Superman with his lightning until Superman nearly passed out.

Mindset
Shazam.

Philosophía
Superman.

both have high feats but superman in general, though marvel has feats against magic that superman doesn't.

CosmicComet
Golden Age Marvel family's best durability feat is flying to a zone outside the multiverse, called Infinity.

It was literally just a black void, with nothing in it, because nothing can exist there. Dr. Sivanna couldn't find any way to hurt them before, and thought that would finally be what would destroy them.

Turns out they were totally fine there, and were reaffirmed to be indestructible.


I'm not as well versed in PC Supes' durability feats, but that's the best for the Marvel fam.

But in terms of blunt damage, I think this is the greatest durability feat I've seen in comics:

Superman slams into Spectre head-first at what can be described as the utmost speeds , ricocheting him back through those same infinite barries, then he gets up as if nothing happened.

That's true Invulnerability.

I miss PC Supes so much

He misses you too. Unfortunately he's going to show you how much he misses you via making sure you never experience any actual success or happiness in life. That's how PC Supes rolls when it comes to his friends.

No matter what happens if he offers to set you up on a "date" just say no.

Golden Age Marvel family have infinite strength,right?

Probably around the same physically although Supes has better feats, he fluctuates a lot more than Billy does. Of course Billy should have much better resistance to magic.

Superman has appeared in hundreds(?) more comics than Billy. Obviously his feats(in pretty much all areas that matter) are going to be better.

From an in-universe POV, however, they're roughly equal across the board... Though Superman will almost always be given the nod, given his 'status' within DC. /shrug

That was depowered Bronze age Superman who had half of his power drained by Sand Superman.

Not sure why you're telling me this..? confused

abhilegend
That Cap was only equal to a depowered Superman?

laughing out loud

They're both equals.

Pillow Biter
Over the years, the idea that they be exact equals has been eroded to the point where these days I think Superman has a clear superiority in raw power and raw durability.
But Shazam's durability is more robust, having less explicit weaknesses and generally being harder to circumvent.

Galan007
Brownie points for using 'robust' on the comic forums. thumb up

Shazam edge due to superman's magical weakness.
