Title: Superman vs Goku Post by: Retrosurrection on April 29, 2007, 11:28:17 PM Hi, I am new to the forum I basically wanted to know your opinion on if Goku from Dragonball Z fought Superman Prime, since that is the strongest incarnation of Superman, the argument from an anime forum was "Goku would win because everyone voted him" I would like to see how you would vote.
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: TELLE on April 30, 2007, 04:45:01 AM I've never been able to watch the cartoon bur I have read a few older installments of DBZ in Shonen Jump. I can't say I know from this brief reading how powerful Goku is and whether that peak strength is applied consistently. Goku, based on the Monkey King, has something like a magic-based strength, which is hard to guage (not that anyone outside of role-playing gamers really tries to gauge Supes' strength).
Superman and Goku have a lot in common --both have mythic overtones and both have been sent to Earth as children, I think. Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Retrosurrection on April 30, 2007, 02:32:47 PM Yeah, I am a DBZ fan myself, but I have been in some heated debates regarding this, Superman Prime would wipe the floor with Goku.
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Super Monkey on April 30, 2007, 07:27:58 PM who is Superman Prime?
Why would be be more powerful that the 1960's Superman? This is the modern version of Superman Vs Mighty Mouse. Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Retrosurrection on April 30, 2007, 11:35:33 PM Superman Prime was in DC 1,000,000 it's normal Superman but he lived 80,000 years in the sun, his powers were insane, he could even create life.
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Great Rao on April 30, 2007, 11:50:34 PM Goku gets pasted pretty easily, and Superman Prime is pretty powerful.
But Goku does have the magical Nyoi-bo and it's possible that his powers are based in magic. Superman's major weakness besides kryptonite is magic - so I don't think it's clear cut and Goku stands a good chance. Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Retrosurrection on May 01, 2007, 01:59:51 AM Yeah but Prime has developed an immunity to Kryptonite
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Uncle Mxy on May 15, 2007, 07:27:52 AM This is a job for the 1950s-era Superman, who'd quickly realize that Goku just loves to eat and use his super-chef skills to create a super-food supply. Then they'd team up and destroy Perfect Cel Luthor in a three-part epic (a compromise between the short Superman stories of the era and the deadly-long drawn-out DBZ stories).
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Super Monkey on May 15, 2007, 06:32:22 PM My cousin once tried to watch the dreaded TV show and the ep that he caught was just one character powering up for 30 minutes... he never watched again! LOL!
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Sword of Superman on May 17, 2007, 06:21:59 PM For me are so different that it's impossible making them fight each other,by the way Goku's powers don't have a magical origin,he is a Sayan one of the most powerful race in the universe,in fact is much more alike Doomsday(every time he fight someone more powerful than him,is body and powers will adapt/increase).
Title: Re: Superman vs Goku Post by: Permanus on May 18, 2007, 03:38:08 AM It's a convention in superhero fiction that Superman, being the grandaddy of them all, always gets to kick whoever he's fighting around the room a couple of times, and then he gets to kick them back the other way. And while he's doing that, he figures out a way to neutralise their powers. And when he's done that, he dangles them at the end of his arm and says "Now, would you care to explain why you attacked me?" And if he doesn't get an answer, he kicks them around the room some more.
So there. |
