    I have now been forced to remember that fucking bullshit John Byrne story where Vision gets his personality wiped

    and it has made be both sad and angry

    Jesus Christ what a transcendentally terrible story

    i guess having an eagle eye perspective of the world will alienate you from what's really going on

    this is from before he was able to fly

    he bounded

    I've been told that comic book superman is a lot more powerful than Justice League superman.

    If it's between JLA superman and Goku, it's not even a contest.

    I don't know anything about comic book superman, though. All I can say is that Goku is capable of destroying entire star systems on a whim (and of withstanding the force of such attacks) and also of moving many times the speed of light. He was superhuman (punches over a tree maybe 5 meters in diameter and then carries it back to his house on one shoulder) at the beginning of DBZ and by the end he's many tens of thousands of times more powerful than that.

    Superman's power level has varied a lot

    Silver Age Superman casually juggled planets and re-arranged star systems, as well as being entirely immune to any and all damage outside kryptonite.

    Modern Superman is a bit less than that (still insane powerful though)

    Their vile cylindrical bodies make me so angry.

    from the perspective of aliens, humans are basically a subspecies of ape anyway

    goku also beats everyone

    hell the only reason there was any real conflict in the cell/buu arcs is because goku was half-assing it because he wanted somebody else to step up and save the world for a change

    actually during cell it was because toriyama was trying to remove goku from the story

    the cell arc is supposed to be the culmination of gohan's story

    db was about goku becoming the earth's protector

    dbz is about gohan doing the same

    Well I mean

    jumping is cool

    Spider-Man jumps, after all, and he is rad

    but at the same time, some characters must fly

    If the Silver Surfer leapt, that would be wrong

    he flies, because it just fits in with everyone else around him

    TLDR: sometimes flying is cooler and sometimes jumping is cooler

    Superman would literally beat the stupid out of Goku in any fight they had.

    Like, he'd just keep punchin Goku until he was doin' high level calculus.

    Goku would recieve his honorary PHD in advanced beatdowns from the university of Superman. With a minor in Maths.

    On the lecture circut, Goku would make presentations about the beatdown he recieved with charts and still pictures to show the various stages of the beatdown.

    After a long and successful career, he'd retire and write a book called The Worst Smackdown I Ever Got.

    It would make the New York Times best seller list. And would later be turned into an Oscar winning movie.

    That's how badly Superman would beat Goku in a fight.

    this is the dream superman would have after he gets beaten by goku and then at some later stage some supervillain slaps one of those greatest wish mind control flowers on him

    Of course the real test is whether whoever person you are talking about at the time could beat the Silver Surfer

    because generally the answer is "fuck no"

    This is war
