Superman runs a Marvel gauntlet. He gets no rest after each win. How far does he get ? Or does he clear?

In no particular order :

1 Black Bolt
2 Thor Odinson
3 Silver Surfer
4 Classic Strange
5 Sentry with Void

Damborgson
He gets to 3.

tkitna
Might get to 3

Damborgson
He's Superman though, it wouldn't entirely surprise me if he made it to 4.

carver9
Stops at 2. If BB gets a scream or whisper off, Thor kills him the next round. If he doesn't and Superman takes him out without damage (can't see this happening) then it's a coin toss between him and Thor.

Because I am sure this is high end feats for all the characters in the gauntlet and it should be high end feats for Superman too.

Superman should clear this. The last two should be switched, stranger glass canon should be the last. But he clears the first 3 and also voidtry. The only sentry defeating a normal superman is death seed sentry.

So high end supes vs high end this guys should go to supes more often than not.

Mid end and lower end on all sides should go to supes.

The only way supes can't clear this is high end one hit wonder feats of marvel vs mid and lower end supes. Which I am sure most marvel peps are using here. But high end vs high end they lose except for strange who like i said is a glass canon. The others bite the dust.

Superman's own Super Hearing amplified that and so basically he hurt himself with his super hearing. I'm sure you already knew that.

Nice work lowballing supes, lets lowball everyone else here.

Lowball vs high end is just a bad argument.

He would beat everyone at his current state without a rest in between, though Strange might be the only one who could stop him, imho. The rest are fodder.

Blood lusted current superman could simultaneously fight the entire gauntlet and win, that's how far above the Trans tier he currently is.

1 Black Bolt = Can go either ways.
2 Thor Odinson = Can go either ways.
3 Silver Surfer = Can go either ways.
4 Classic Strange = Can go either ways.
5 Sentry with Void = Loses badly.

EDIT: Classic Strange doesn't exist. It's simply Dr Strange.

I mean that Superman loses badly to Void of course

BB voice is both sound and something more.

He can possibly one-shot Superman then.

Damborgson
It sounds cool, and it is super powerful, but BB lacks the feats to suggest he could win unfortunately.

Reality post was more on a one on one fight with out the stips. I'm sure his answer would've been different if he included the stipulations. Black Bolt is a monster. No Herald is running through him without taking damage. He's fighting Thor right after and a Herald facing Thor while injured will die.

I haven't see a single thing from Superman since his merge with New 52 Supes that puts him above anyone here. They will probably lowball Sentry with the hellicarrier showing but Superman had something recently that was worse imo. It took him along with other members of the JLA to stop the watch tower. He pulls a majority against Bolt but the others are debatable and Sentry wins every single round imo.

Bolt was defeated by Emma Frost punching through him in IVX. He would be lucky to win a single fight against Superman.

Superman was trying to stop watchtower without killing everyone on board including Lois.

Carver what is wrong with you? Superman would beat Thor 10/10. He's simply too fast. You act as if these two would fight and operate at similar speeds. If that's the case the yes, it could go either way. But Superman is vastly faster, multiple times so.

Surfer would be a different story though. That can go either way depending on how effective and smart Surfer fights. If Surfer just becomes a generic blaster then Superman stomps him. If Surfer stays evasive the majority of the fight and uses red solar radiation then he can win.

In no particular order :

1 Black Bolt. -SM wins
2 Thor Odinson -SM wins
3 Silver Surfer - Can go either way
4 Classic Strange -SM wins due to speed
5 Sentry with Void -Sentry wins but SM has a chance with counter vibrations.

That wasn't said because that was obvious.

Sentry helped the Helicarrier to land softly.

If he stopped it cold that would have killed everyone on board.

Sentry is able to stop cold the descent of Exitar, one of the most powerful Celestials, just by physical force.

Superman isn't even close to have the power to do that.

He should do ok up to 3. Thats where things get tricky. Surfer hasnt been fighting much and hasnt had a decent challenge in awhile. Supes has litany of feats. So if its current Surfer Id give Clark the edge in a physical confrotation. I havent seen a serious Surfer in awhile but he seems to go esoteric alot more now..he did cancel out sound and bound a planetary level character to one spot
..so yea 3 hes done

I tend to think that Superman is more advantaged than Thor against Surfer.

The main reason is that he has a superior manoeuvrability in flight, some built-in speed that will allow him to get in close-combat faster and he is more powerful physically than Thor.

I think that Superman would beat Surfer at least 8 or 9 times out of 10.

Aren't you the one that tend to bring up combat showings? What has Surfer done to give him a single win against Clark lately?

Surfer is realistically where Superman starts to feel the pain here.
The Black Bolt love-fest early on in the thread is ridiculous. Superman would drive him into the ground like a tent peg.

If Superman can resist all of the things that the Surfer can do to him, then he'd make it to Void. The Surfer altered Lunatik's genes down to the molecular level. Why couldn't he do that to Superman?

The depiction of NU52 Superman was Clark at HALF-STRENGTH given the machinations of Mxyptlk. Once he defeated Mxy both sides of his essence were rejoined granting him full strength.

The showings of Superman since then have him conservatively high trans/skyfather.

People who believe SM will lose to the first 4 needs to stop taking drugs period.

BB-is currently a Mid-Tier with a Elite Top Tier attack. He lose to SM 9/10

Thor-has already lost to SM there's nothing to suggest he would win against a more powerful version of SM. He lose to SM 7/10

SS-is a waste of space, SS SOP is to blast everything in sight and rarely use his more elective abilities. While he has the possibility to be a team wrecker he never lives up to the hype. He lose to SM 9/10

Dr Strange- is the closess to an arguably tough fight. But SM has fought enough mages to deal with Strange. He lose to SM 7/10

Sentry-is the toughest fight to judge, Sentry has had enough low feats that an argument can be made he should lose to SM. But the kicker it's Void Sentry and SM would have gone through the wringer by the other 4 fighters. Therefore IMO Sentry wins 6/10

He's actually taken the exotic route quite a few times... He doesn't generally do a bunch in any given fight because he doesn't need to since him going exotic doesn't usually require a follow up, but he's definitely done it in enough fights for using more than basic punches and blasts to be considered "in character" for him.

Superman has done more speedblitzes.

Anyway Superman would beat the shit out of Surfer in such a fight.

I tend to agree, Superman would beat the mes out of Surfer, if Superman made it into a slug it out point for point. The thing that gets me is that the Surfer has the ability to alter a characters genetic makeup. He did this to Lunatik. Does Superman have a way of negating this power? If not the Surfer IMO has a legit means of winning.

Black Bolt's attack is sound plus extra, but there's definitely a large sonic component. Click the following link and scroll down to the bottom and you will find the attack powering up Dazzler, a mutant whose abilities are powered by sound:

I was debating whether to post some images of Black Bolt's voice beating heavy bricks like Hulk, Apocalypse, and Gladiator. I still might, but, till then, it might be worthwhile to note that BB has physically contended with the likes of Gladiator as well, at least if the CURRENTLY working links of the following thread is any indication:

I'll accept that Superman can win against Black Bolt if Black doesn't think to use his voice before Superman uncharacteristically blitzes him, as people seem to be suggesting.


It will take a lot more to convince me Superman has a reasonable chance if Bolt whispers at him, though, let alone speaks or screams. Not even the powerful pre-Crisis versions of Kryptonians could endure the level of audio we're talking about where Black Bolt is concerned, no matter HOW powerful you think Superman's strength and durability are.

I remember one story, for instance, where Superman went to the extreme of procuring dwarf star material to combat a mere sonic gun. Neutronium ear plugs, they were termed, and apparently featured in some issue of Action Comics. I do not recall the issue number, so perhaps someone can help me there?

Here are two links I've found that mention the episode, though the first may appear as an image:

That's not suprising, Supes probably has over 10 times more relevant appearances than Surfer does. By which I mean over 10 times more appearaces where he actually fights someone.

And anyway I didn't say anything about Supes in that post, I was simply contesting the idea that it'll be more "in character" for Surfer to do nothing but punch and blast in a forum fight.

It's weird you said that. That is almost exactly the language I THOUGHT I remembered for another instance of a "super" getting dropped by sound back in the day.

This scene from Superman Family #171 actually suggests TWO ways sound can take out a Kryptonian, and the one that would do permanent damage, Green Lantern's vibration match, doesn't even seem to need to target the ears to be lethally effective. To be fair, though, this was an issue featuring a LOT of weird explanations for even weirder phenomena.

2. SB is a mystical based character her power are magic based BB isn't.
3. Even with Abih post showing SG in pain SG handily defeated her.
4. SM has fought sound based opponent b4 and handily defeated them including SB which he defeated even faster than SG did.
5. BB has been neutered by Marvel his scream at best is the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in scope something SM can easily survive

Don't know where you are getting the idea of Supergirl not being as formidable...especially looking at her recent fts. The girl just took Gog out with a finger snap...a being who has given Superman a battle.

#5 is the only item on your list that could legitimately convince me Superman would be able to endure Black Bolt's voice. The roster of beings Black Bolt has taken down with it, and the number of times Kryptonians have fallen to sonics and hyper sonics throughout nearly every era I know of is too great otherwise.

The reason I say he gets pretty far is because before his dragon ball z fusion, he would have already been the fight of any heralds life, and he'd win almost all of them. Now he has a power boost, and by logic he's at least a Trans. Until he gets humiliated repeatedly and proves his average isn't much higher than it was before, he's out of the tier of the fighters in the gauntlet.

Sentry would still take it to him though. Without rest it'd be a smash.

I think people misunderstood what happened with new 52 and Superman. The Superman that we've always known and loved before new 52 showed up, his power was taken from him (well, some of it) which weakened him. This power was used to make New 52 Superman. That power that was taken from him went back to him and now (here's the important part) he is back to the levels he was at before the introduction of New 52. He didn't receive a boost. He was just put back to the levels he was at before. This isn't a new Superman you are seeing here, this is a complete Superman. So the wins and loses Superman had before 52 counts.

Until he gets humiliated repeatedly and proves his average isn't much higher than it was before, he's out of the tier of the fighters in the gauntlet.

Sentry would still take it to him though. Without rest it'd be a smash.

That's correct.

You are well on your way to the light!

Now, recognize Superman's SKYFATHER status and DENY THOR and you will ascend to greatness!!!

How could you POSSIBLY think he is correct given how absolutely EXPLICIT they were in explaining the events and how Mxy depowered him?

Lol. Just being realistic. Its more you making excuses and trying to create ways for Superman to win, but whatever. I would expect nothing less from any DC Fanboy.

There is nothing to make ways about it marvel zombie. Bolt couldn't even take out Namor with a full scream completely and Emma Frost punched a hole in him.

His voice has been compared to a Nuke. Banshee's voice is compared to ten nukes.

I think people misunderstood what happened with new 52 and Superman. The Superman that we've always known and loved before new 52 showed up, his power was taken from him (well, some of it) which weakened him. This power was used to make New 52 Superman. That power that was taken from him went back to him and now (here's the important part) he is back to the levels he was at before the introduction of New 52. He didn't receive a boost. He was just put back to the levels he was at before. This isn't a new Superman you are seeing here, this is a complete Superman. So the wins and loses Superman had before 52 counts.
That's not how it works carver. As of now Superman both pre-flashpoint and post-flashpoint were only half of the part of Superman.

And Zod stood in one spot and allowed Superman to pound on him to no affect.

He was weakened due to new 52. New 52 merged back with him which took him back to full power. The power he had before new 52. Why doesn't it work like that? Is he amped Now?

Becuase Superman was holding back due to danger to Lois and Jon. Zod, Mongul, Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, Metallo and Blanque together couldn't KO Superman after a long ground and pound.



Yes, he is. Even new 52 Superman has feats to put any herald level being to shame and he was just a part of this Superman's powers.

Do we have evidence that pre 52 Supes was 50%,, rather than 100%?

His voice has been compared to a Nuke. Banshee's voice is compared to ten nukes. Hyperbole. You seem to rely on it when it helps your case but ignore it when it doesn't. BB downs him with a scream.

We're overlooking an important factor - Pre-Flashpoint Superman in the New 52 wasn't at the same powerlevel we saw him before - he was much older, having spent a decade in the New 52 hidden, raising Jon, absorbing sunlight. And then THAT Superman got merged with New 52 Superman .

We basically got Pre-Flashpoint Superman + a decade of getting more powerful + New 52 Superman = Rebirth Superman.

DarkSaint85
Yeah, but was old Family Man Superman the older version of pre 52 Superman, or was he a completely new version created by Mxy when he split nu52 Superman off, complete with memories etc?

Not to mention reborn Superman showing all of his post crisis adventures.

The above is Black Bolt's voice apparently taking out not one but several Celestials.

Board Walker
Superman for all intents and purposes is a skyfather level being on average, and a omniversal abstract at his highest.

Magnon
Surfer and Strange have a *chance* against Superman via weakness exploitation (e.g. red solar radiation and magic, respectively) but assuming Superman has basic knowledge of his opponents there's no reason he should give them the chance.

Superman clears the gauntlet.

Inadmissible, as it is a possible future BB.

He currently has no scream.

If memory serves.

Like Philo said, they made it pretty clear this is the same Superman from the 1990's. Byrne era Superman.

It all fits, from his marriage to Lois, to his call back on events like Death of Superman. And just the look and feel is unmistakable, growing up reading him you can recognize the tells in an instant.

MrMind
honestly voidtry i see with the biggest problem
superman should clear, classic strange like many said is a glass canon with no durability to take the initial blitze, however i am curious about his auto shield

1 to 4, this can go either ways with Superman as the most probable loser.

At 5, Superman will be crushed like an insect by the Void. He has zero chances to win.

cdtm
Isn't pre and post New 52 merged?
If family man Superman did it on his own, he had a lot of different powers around Imperiex saga, which predates New 52. Soul vision, different heat vision uses like emp's. Stands to reason he could do the solar blast, since It's just an extension of the foundation Joe Casey and others laid when they went full fanboy with Superman.

panthergod
Sentry gets his power absorbed with ease, then oneshot destroyed by HV. Easily.

Originally it was only implied that the story/history merged but no really indication that all powers transfered

Remember how some people implied that the merged Superman suddenly had the combined power. Right now, it seems some new Superman has both powers Sets

The solar flare ability definitely has been made much stronger at least going off #38 issue

So speed and perceptions mean nothing to you?

I do wonder, how people view his ability to regenerate?
He has in the past needed mere seconds to recharge

Damborgson
In the heat of battle he's going to have to recharge without a moments rest against

1. Black Bolt, who's voice could at least scuff Superman up.

2. Thor, who has legitimate ways of hurting Superman and poses a tangible danger to him.

3. Surfer, who can also at the very least wear Superman down a bit

4. Dr. Strange who is not only an expert in magic, one of his vulnerabilities, but would push Superman hard if not beat him after this other ordeals.

And THEN fight trans tier, I can regenerate from a single molecule, Voidtry...

That is pushing it.
