This also applies to Batman. smile

You just know who voted for superman to only be in the herald tier laughing out loud

I didnt even vote in here but I'm glad to have read that message. Putting you on ignore. FINALLY (dancing in joy).

Did you know I got mocked for making that argument almost exactly 15 years ago? I now believe he is in a special category Antibody of the DC multiverse. He has a pathogens number, ask Darkseid in final crisis, world forger or Dr M.

Sin I AM
trans

LordofBrooklyn
All those who voted trans are....

FILTHY LIARS!!!

Superman surpassed that level years ago as confirmed by Mxy.

15 years ago you got mocked for that? I would have expected that to be a totally agreed opinion back then. Weird...

He thankfully has many many defeats to balance his highs. That also comes with the territory of having so many appearances of course.

He can be any tier because He seems to be officially as strong as he need to be.
Most people in VS related forum don't to accept it though.
I don't know why.

Like many posters in this thread mentioned before, He seems as powerful as he needs to be( I mean, Sure, most characters are as powerful as the writers need them to be, But in superman case that concept is particularly noticeable)
But if you asking me must put him into a particular tier, I will put him to Skyfather since during recent years he has performed many high end showings

Galan007
My opinion is that Superman's 'average' nowadays would be trans, but he can(and very often does) step it up to whatever level is needed in order to stop a given threat... Even if that threat is an upper-end cosmic being.

For that reason it is very difficult to limit/confine him to a particular tier, because he literally is as powerful as he needs to be... Moreso than any other comic book character I can think of.

Might as well call it the Superman tier, and that's fine.

Philosophía
The answer of this question is obvious -- at this point in time, when the chips are down, there's a scarcity of cosmic beings that Superman would beat where everybody wouldn't be "eh, not surprised". Stories have actual plot points of "Superman is the greatest defender of the megaverse upon which literally everything revolves" as Manhattan types are waiting to see if they die when Superman punches them, or more generic superhero stories where they tease how much Superman holds back, only to briefly accelerate and solo two amped super-heroes in one fell swoop

According to Comicvine, Rebirth Superman is weakest Superman in main continuity.
I don't understand what is their basis because comics I have read about Rebirth Superman put him above Post-crisis Superman.
Do you understand what basis?

His two solo titles.

Herald. ALL heros are as powerful as they need to be. Superman is nothing special. It's done ALL the time from Antman to Zeus. What fun or exciting reading that would come from a hero that beats a foe that's just as powerful? What excitement is there if a hero defeat a foe and the hero is a LOT more powerful?? Or could it be that writers LET heros defeat foes that are a LOT more powerful than the hero or heros? Take a guess which one writers useðŸ‘

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that his solo titles since Rebirth back up the theory that he's weak? If so, under what writer? The likes of Bendis and Tomasi have been wanking him harder than Lois Lane ever could.

People think Superman is weakling because he has struggled with Red Cloud despite the fact he has been holding back.
People see only scan about Superman's low-showing.

KMC having a strong pro-Superman stance is a relatively recent occurrence. It has always had Superman supporters, sure, but they were always contending, if not flat out drowned out by other characters and their supporters. It's a combination of factors, including those previous members leaving, characters that were once hyped being largely shit on in their own comics, and DC basically saying (and thereby supporting) what a few people have been saying for years.

Any talk about how KMC has had this long-term DC or Superman bias is a load of bollocks, imo. I mean, Superman didn't even have trolls back then. Now they're all over the place.

I seized control of The House Of El in 2013 you can DIRECTLY trace Superman's respect on these boards and ascension in comics to MY REIGN! You've never had MORE Superman threads and VICTORIES in those threads than under MY LEADERSHIP!!!!

Only 16% of people still think he's herald tier.

Good times.

I can guess who voted for herald:
Alberto, Carver, Hulkster, Celey, Rage, Darthgoober, tkitna, JBL THE GREAT

somewhat like that

Now would you like for us to name who voted for trans tier?

That's easy.

As powerful as he needs to be.

AlbertoJohnAvil
Every superhero can be "as powerful as they need to be" if the writer wants to make it happen. I'm not sure how that's a unique thing, realistically it's herald tier. "as powerful as they need to be" just sounds dumb, HULK can become as powerful as he needs to be. its a story at the end of the day, not battle boards based

Agreed. Everyone have shown that ability... Spiderman, Superman and Hulk are famous for it. Cant honestly think of anyone else tbh. Use to be Thor. I think Surfer qualifies as well but his appearances are limited.

Do you understand what basis? Well, according to BruceRoger's arguments were that he loses to a dragon that was defeated by a gas pipe explosion, the same issue Clark benchpressed the earth, and basically Superman loses all the time to things he shouldn't.

My view is that Superman is still herald tier, but like the very peak of herald tier. Like Lord Marvell, the guy who wrecked and almost killed the Annihilators, a team full of haxy planet busting herald tier badasses. He also vaporized Magus, who effortlessly destroyed 7 planets.

Also, Superman relies heavily on scaling for how hard his punches are. Marvel and manga uses objective power feats, like destroying entire planets or even stars. Of course, Superman now finally destroys a planet, but it took a while for the confirmation of what we already suspected.

The mere fact that Lex Luthor, the smartest man in the world, can go toe to toe with this beast just puts in perspective how intelligent this man is. I've seen smart guys in other comics, but they're never written to be smart, only told to the reader and then they make some contraption to prove it (because otherwise we'd have no reason to believe it). Lex Luthor is literally written to be brilliant, think about that.

We're looking for the criminal who did that.

Whirly is so pissed, he PM'd he he'll flood this entire site with thousands of sock accounts, overloading it for good, unless the perpetrator reveals himself miffed

Juntai
the very bottom of Superman's power is above herald level. He can be roughed up or on rare occasion lose to one whos punching out of his weight class if he continues to hold back or underestimate them.

Superman in Superman mode is generally nigh unstoppable. He's the physical manifest of hope, which DC views as the most powerful concept.

Superman represents the hope of the multiverse and the reader.

Even Dr Manhattan understood that Superman was the end of the road when you muck with reality.

When reality is at risk, it sends it's highest idea, its most powerful concept, Superman.

He's as powerful as he needs to be.

Coincidentally Hope beat Antilife in the game, and in Final Crisis Hope beat Anti-Life also.
