If the DC Universe were as ultraviolent as the Invincible Universe, . . .

[SecretWarrior]

which heroes could actually survive against Superman-tier characters?



And who'd end up as just another greasy smear?

[Primal Slayer]

I mean....99% would likely be dead? WW/Black Canary/Vixen/Shazam/Starfire/The Flash(es)/GLs could all live to fight another day. But it wouldnt be easy.

Most of street levelers would die. If Superman wants to kill a street leveler, it would be over before they know that they have to fight against Superman. Of all street levelers, Batman would have the highest chance of knowing when the fight is coming to him.

So from the pic you posted,

Nightwing, Red Hood, Damian Wayne, Batwoman, Spoiler, Duke Thomas, Huntress, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Red Arrow, Jace Fox, Bruce Wayne are off the list in just one day.

Vixen doesnt have the durability to stand against many hits from Supes. I dont know any animal that Beast Boy can transform into that would give him an equal footing with Supes.

Not counting Kryptonian like Kara or part Kryptionian like Jon Kent, WW and Black Adam are the closest to Supes in terms of physicals (strength, speed, durabitlity, etc...)

Generally, the only people left in these Kryptonians gone bad scenarios is that everyone gets taken out except for other Kryptonians and the strongest Green Lanterns and, even then, most of them get wiped out unless they're particularly skillful.

I would also imagine that the more magic-based heavy hitters like Spectre, Doctor Fate, Shazam, and Wonder Woman would also last.

I know you said "Superman-tier" and not Superman himself, but can we please not? I'm sick of WB/DC's bad habit of making Superman go evil in other media and elseworlds. Superman's a hero damn it. You could just list villains on his level of power like Zod or something.

ever since that first Injustice game DC's been all in with evil superman in multimedia

If Superman killed Vixen and Animal Man, they could easily resurrect themselves by using the abilities of jellyfish and planarian worms. Vixen, in canon, has resurrected herself by using planarian worms after being killed in an explosion in the most recent "Justice League of America" series written by Steve Orlando a few years ago. I'm thinking Beast Boy might also be able to resurrect himself as well using some type of animal.

They would just keep coming back, like Wolverine.

Actually with the planarian worms, shouldn't any severed body parts also grow into other Vixens/Animal Men?

[SecretWarrior]

Superman is just the benchmark for strength.

Zod and Black Adam also work.

Yep, I think so! Which would then mean Superman or whoever would have to fight even more Vixens and Animal Men, who could theoretically keep replicating themselves, and each replicant could use different animal abilities against Superman or whoever else they were fighting.

DC let Snyder make live action films as close as he could to this and the overall reaction was not great

Just watch JLD: Apocalypse and you'll have your answer.

ugh that movie still depresses me

So he should throw them into the sun

[PCN24454]

Ugh, has anyone actually read the Image comics?

It's literally the same as any other superhero comic book, only more tongue-in-cheek.

There's no reason to believe that anything about the DC Universe would actually be different.

[MoneySpider]

So he should throw them into the sun

Maybe Vixen, Animal Man and Beast Boy could mimic Sun Eaters (Animal Man has mimicked the abilities of a Sun Eater before, in canon).

"Several years ago, a Sun-Eater made its way into Earth's solar system and consumed the sun."

Remember Black Adam cutting loose in World War III?
