Of course.
Blanket statements of "blah blah blah has ____________ years of experience" means little, if anything, without the feats to justify it.
In Superman's case, it seems that his feat of fighting for thousands of years in DC Asgard is supposed to mean something when it's dropped half the time, either that he's just as much or close to as being a warrior as the likes of Thor or Hercules or Conan or something or that that stint actually gave him considerable experience fighting or something.
Superman's already skilled and he was both before and after that feat. It's cool that it happened, but it has no real relevance, positive or negative, on him at all, really.

Agreed. The whole "years of experience" angle is stupid without feats to back them up. Seems like a copout to me.

Superman is more skilled in the use of his powers IMO. He also knows pressure points and has taken combat lessons from Bats(has he not? Could be mistaking Bruce for someone else). Even though writers just tend to have him punch things out...same shit that happens to Thor with the hammer. Sigh.

Hmm.......
Black Adam........
Who has went toe to toe with Supes on more than one occasion (and looked great doing it)....... dominated Cap Marvel several times..... and is an all around badass, not really caring how he is perceived or whether or not he kills his opponent.
vs
Glads......
Whose best showings are usually followed by something such as Namor beating on him (the same Namor who just lost to the Thing). Who has an attitude about like a high-school bully....... useful until it gets rough.
Black Adam would beat him down, and instead of the "gloating while the opponent recovers" move that Glads would need to compete, Teth would keep beating on him till he stopped moving/breathing/whatever.

I agree with you here. Experience means absolutely nothing. Feats mean everything. Someone with over a thousand years experience that can't beat Batman in h2h fighting is just a super slow learner or just didn't receive the proper training.

The last time I read a Marvel book I enjoyed.
I really, really hope you aren't basing this on sigs, though...

no, not only that...but its part of my evidence though
in most close fights, you seem to instinctively go for the dc guy. just my take.
