I've heard a few things about Sentry, like he's supposed to be the equivalent to superman in the Marvel Universe. But I'm not really all that impressed with him. Surfer's the main one I see kickin Supe's ass.
And I know he isn't in the Marvel Universe, but as far as strength? Uh, Doomsday! He wasn't the only one who died that day as well..
Maybe we should consider, who can beat pre-crisis Supes. Offhand, unless Thor or the Surfer used specific energy tactics immediately, I believe pre-c Superman would win against either.

There are several characters with the "potential" to beat Superman but Superman has the "potential" to win the battle also. When your talking about the chips being down fight or die, good luck taking Superman out for the count.
very true, when you say who can beat superman... basically you got to think, who can actually last in a fight with him and then actually have the "chance" to win... although this works both ways and superman could beat them too
have you heard of gladiator, hes in the x men comics hes a gard of lilandra, i think he can kick supes ass, hes got the same powers ashim more or less.
Silver Surfer I think a blood lusted Silver Surfer actually Curbstomps Supes
Gladiator
Most heralds of Galactus.
Quasar could
Captain Marvel
Nova Richard Rider with the Full Nova Force has a shot
Ronan Could altho speed would be hard to overcome
Beta Ray Bill
Doctor Strange
Loki
I don't include Sentry not enough feats.
Besides for everyone saying that that anyone you looses to Ironman remember Superman has been KOed by an exploding Gas Station before it's called low showings and these guys ahve enough high showings to counter Supermans
You mean after fighting DD for hours, he was completely low on reserves. But he still wasn't KOed, he got back up to continue his fight with DDs (This all happened about 13 or 14 years ago btw).
byrne was brought in to make superman weaker... so much weaker he actually died as well (doomsday)
The superman that's around nowadays is bridging the gap between pre crisis superman without the guff and the one that died. he'll basically be pre crisis superman eventually but wont have the "extra" abilities he gains from out his arse
Almost everyone could beat Superman, depends on the version of Superman and the right circumstances, cirumcstances like poor dumba$$ writers (Post DKR Miller for example). But in "truth" no one could ever beat him.
