Poll: Death Battle Goku vs Superman

[verdant monkai]

I... don't... give a shit?
Huh.
Not a single shit.
HEURGGHHHH
Nope, can't do.

Hahahaha dude that's so funny!!
Its like you were actually trying to pass faeces when you were, proclaiming your lack of interest I mean wow well done.

Wonderful comedic contribution aside, you DBZ fans are ignoring something HUGE!! his kiss give you amnesia (see my first post). Also Superman has a form of martial arts as well (a kryptonian one), and there is only so much that can be done with martial arts, granted there is a lot you can do, but if your opponent is a martial artist master who is around the same speed as you, then you will know what to do about most dummy punches/kicks/throws/chops and so on. So admittedly Goku's kung fu would be a lot better, but superman also has an ancient alien martial art. So I wouldn't call it an overbearing advantage.
Also to all of you saying Goku can blow up planets, as I said before Superman survived 15 supernovas. A planet cracking blast will feel like a hard slap to Superman. So raw power is not the way to beat either of them in my opinion, but cunning will win the battle. Also consider Goku being a lovely chap but a bit thick in dee head, superman is always pretty smart bordering on genius sometimes, so reckon Supes could outsmart Goku.

Captain Marvel is more powerful than Superman anyway.

Source: Kingdom Come.

Based on my limited knowledge of both (I watched DBZ and DBGT as a kid, and I've read a few comics featuring superman) I honestly can't split it. Can superman even die?

Worst case scenario surely Superman can simply fly to the centre of our sun and become powerful beyond words?

That said, Goku can obliterate our sun. So there's that.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Goku all the way. He can blow up planets easily and can fucking teleport so fuck all of supermans speed. Oh superman has heat vision? Thats cute. I counter with the kamehameha wave.

 

[Auron225]

I don't know much about either.

I would say Goku since I imagine he is faster and stronger but isn't Superman meant to be invincible? As in, it makes no difference who is fighting him - he won't get hurt unless Kryptonite is involved? Although in that case, I imagine Goku would just blast off to wherever he can find Kryptonite and shove it down Supermans throat.

If no Kryptonite was around, I think the fight would never end. Superman couldn't overpower Goku but if he himself is otherwise immortal then Goku couldn't kill him. It really is an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

Although I'll say again, I don't know a lot about either. If Superman isn't invincible then I'd say Goku.

 

[Macgyvercas]

This all hinges on whether or not Goku has Kryponite. Because if he doesn't, the Boy Scout will ultimately win.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Can superman even die?

He actually did at least one. Most notable time was probably in Superman (vol. 2) #75. The storyline was called "The Death of Superman", and showed the Man of Steel's death at the hands of Doomsday.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

There is only one correct answer:
"BATMAN"

[sub]"But Batman wasn't even an option"[/sub] Shuddup, BATMAN IS ALWAYS THE ANSWSER
[sub]"But Batman is a mere human and they would both rip him a new one without breaking a sweat"[/sub]
I SAID SHUT-UP, BATMAN WILL USE HIS ALIEN REPELLENT BAT SPRAY AND WIN!!11!!!

[sub] "But that's retarded"[/sub]
That's it, it seems Batman gotta smack someone.

Spoiler: Bat-Smack

BATMAN is always the answer

[sub][sub]I still say it's redarded[/sub][/sub]

 

[ecoho]

I am not that familiar with Superman (only seen a few episodes of 90's cartoon), but still:
The rules of deathbattle are simple: characters fight to the death and if they have a "no killing" policy, then it is turned off. Also, they cannot make preparations for a fight, so no solar charging gor Superman and no senzu bean stacking for Goku (it's one of the reasons why batman lost to spiderman: he didn't knew who he was fighting with).
So:
Goku is a better fighter, he is stronger, faster, knows how to teleport and even his basic energy rays are a lot more effective then Supermans eye-lazers. But he is not the smartest person around, so Superman just might trick him.
Also, we don't know which versions of characters will be used, so we are still free to speculate.

Gt goku and all-star superman are their respective versions and while he may not be book smart hes combat smart to the point that while he may show mercy to an enimy he wont do it unless hes pretty much already won.

OT: goku's gonna win. why? because goku has his power pole and superman is weak against magic, add in goku's strangth and speed and sups is so dead.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

We always tend to pair them up when they are at their most powerful form, right?

Well Superman's most powerful form is this:

http://superman.wikia.com/wiki/Superman_Prime

Powers:
Immunity- Superman Prime is imune to magic, kryptonite, lightning, mental manipulation, ect.

Creation - Superman Prime is able to create lifeforms out of nothing.

Resurrection - Superman Prime can resurrect the dead and himself.

Omniscience - Superman Prime has possibly learned everything in his time in the sun.

Omnipotence - Superman prime has near limitless abilties as far as we can see.

Omnipresent - Superman Prime can be any where at any time.

All Kryptonian powers under a Yellow Sun. All of his Kryptonian powers are enhanced.

Godlike Super strength - His strength is limitless, he is capable of lifting his own multi-verse.

Godlike Super speed - His speed is incomprehensible to even the abstract beings.

Godlike Super Senses

Godlike Xray vision - He can see through any solid object, with no exceptions.

Godlike Heat vision - A million times hotter than the center of the sun.

Godlike Super Stamina/Endurance - Capable of surviving the end of the Multiverse.

Godlike Invulnerability - Capable of surviving the end of the Multiverse.

Godlike Super Hearing - Cosmic Awareness.

Immortality - Superman Prime, will live until the end of Reality.

I read somewhere that Goku eventually gets all these powers too, so in that case they would always either fight to a draw or destroy each other.

 

[The White Hunter]

Oh man.... Goku is so fast that Supes is practically stationary. Superman is fast, yea, but Goku moves so fast he may as well be teleporting. And he CAN teleport.

And therein lies the outcome. Goku can teleport. Goku can also teleport people with him.

Goku grabs superman. Teleports him to some kryptonite mine or something.

Proceeds to kick his ass.

Simple ¬_¬

Idk about super healing for Goku but he's practically indestructible and at the end of GT he IS immortal. As I posted above, frankly.

 

[The White Hunter]

Teleports him to Kryptonite.

Now I have one for you:

Whitebeard vs Batman.

Batman is the motherfucking Batman. Whitebeards punches shatter the air itself. Discuss.

 

[Shikua]

Clearly this fight will only end when Goku and Superman use the Potara earrings to fuse and become Clarku.

Or Vegeta shows up and they become Vegito and destroy Superman with the flick of a wrist.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I probably bias to say Goku as I didn't exactly grew up knowing Superman all too well. By all means I'm no expect on Goku but I simnply had watched the DB series more than I ever read/ watched on Superman himself.

Consider the fact there has been some powerful individual like Darkseid, Doomsday and etc had fought Superman before means Superman is not god like (well it take someone powerful to harm him).

I feel Goku martial art training will give him the edge against Superman depsite knowing his superspeed may keep up with Goku speed.

Sure you can argue that Goku will tried himself out before Superman does but I feel by the time it reached that, Superman would had taken alot of beaten than for him to fight back. Yet again I suppose when Goku turn super saiyan will be a factor too including which forms of SS he go throught too.

Sure the whole Krytonite has been brought up but I think the better question is that are they on Earth during this deathmatch or on a different planet where the sun is not red?

 

[Lucane]

A thought occurs:

A technique is exhibited in DBZ that allows the user to create a light ball that generates the same light waves as the sun reflected off the moon. Surely it's not out of the question Goku or one of the others could develop a technique to generate light waves like those of a red star, rendering Superman useless?

Not that this is a serious discussion, but still.

Possibly true but the folks running Death Battle don't allow time for learning about their opponents unless they naturally knew them prior in some well know fashion I.E. "The Ninja Turtles: Battle Royal" where a certain turtle gained an advantage by know his brothers well enough to know who he should take on first if they all knew only one of them could walk out alive.

So if Kakarot had a chance to learn that about Super-man he could maybe do that (unless Kaioken just happens to be that light spectrum) But Goku doesn't like fighting dirty so he likely wouldn't even if he could.

Though,you making me remember Goku likes to fight fairly I'd think a desperate Superman is a bigger threat because he'll lobotomize someone if he feels he has to. Though Goku's never been big on thinking.​

 

[EHKOS]

Proof that Goku would win. He wouldn't even need a senzu bean.

 

[EHKOS]

This all hinges on whether or not Goku has Kryponite. Because if he doesn't, the Boy Scout will ultimately win.

Teleports him to Kryptonite.

Now I have one for you:

Whitebeard vs Batman.

Mmmm, Whitebeard is human though.

Spoiler

He also dies from normal wounds

if this is a fight to the death Batman always looses because of his "No Kill" rule.

 

[aba1]

This has been settled. It's been proven with scientific math that Superman's power level is less than 7000, which means he's weaker (and would lose) to Goku by the time he learned Kaioken and was on his way back to fight Nappa and Vegeta.

This was concluded by some measure that defined Superman's strength by comparison to a regular human being (probably mentioned in a comic or else where lore wise) with a power level (according to Raditz's scouter) being 5.

Even if it were 1, Superman would at best reach only 35 000. Krillin could beat Superman post-Namek.

Superman and Goku have similar abilities, but the Dragonball universe is filled with ridiculously powered creatures where as DC contends with very human-level threats most of the time.

This actually sounds about right. I read/watch both Superman and Dragon Ball and even though supermans power changes drastically depending on when or what you are reading I would say superman at his strongest is weaker than Goku at his strongest if not simply because Goku is strong enough to destroy planets in a single blow about midway through the series and only gets wayyyyyyyyyy stronger from there.

 

[Lucane]

Goku no contest. He could destroy an entire planet long before he even went Super Saiyan and just look how powerful he was by the end of GT.

I think Chi-Chi vs. Lois Lane would be a better fight but OK whatever.

That would be no contest either considering Chi-Chi is trained in martial arts and is a lot stronger than the average human.

I know, I know. Daughter of the Ox king, martial arts and one of the strongest women on earth but cat fight... YeYe Cat fight. Maybe they'll kiss.

Well it'd be less of a cat fight and more a tiger mauling a small kitten

Unless it's Lois Lane during "All-Star Superman" where Clark makes "Superman" for a day juice coded to the drinker by their DNA so it only works on the intended person and lasts for 24 hours making her as tough as Superman.(I think before his Sun Bathing.) But then Chi-Chi was granted a Wish that makes her as tough(tougher?) as(than) Goku so if he's powered up She is without even breaking a sweat. Though she lacks the "special" skills Goku has learned over the years I don't think she's even learned how to fly ever.

 

[Lucane]

Proof that Goku would win. He wouldn't even need a senzu bean.

I'm sorry but that information is a little dated... for both of them. For research on fictional characters the Death Battle Crew have done some homework and going with versions that have reached far higher levels of power/speed/etc.
