[kingmyth]

This is not a fight but who has the better Super Strength.

[master of read]

it depends on the version you are using.

It's original Earth 52 Superman challenging Adult Goku in a strength challenge.

Are you talking about Nu 52 Superman? In raw strength I think it's pretty clear he's above Goku. Striking power might be less clear cut but I think I would still favor Superman.

I'm talking about Pre New 52 Superman.

I'm talking about Pre New 52 Superman.

Post Crisis Supes then? Best thing he could do was shatter a moon with his strongest punch. He is well below Goku in that department. Vastly so.

That is striking ability however. Hard to say is Goku's striking strength extends to his lifting ability.

Check out Silver age Supermans strength.

That also has zero relevance to the topic. That is pre-crisis superman. Not Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint.

Silver Age Superman (also called pre-Crisis Superman) is not the same guy as Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint/Pre-Nu Superman, who is not the same guy as Nu/Current Superman.

As far as lifting strength, End of Z Goku isn't likely close to most versions of Superman. What's his best lifting feat? Grabbing those two dinosaurs in the anime filler and flying them around? Granted, he hits WAY harder than that.

What are you talking about, I was showing that picture for an older version of Superman for his strength.

Besides, when I made this topic, people can mention any version of Superman.

When has post crisis Superman "punched " out a moon?
Anyway the guy destroyed an earth in the phantom zone in For Tomorrow although it could be argued that it was him throwing Zod through the planet that finally ended it and not him going " with each punch my skin splits as does the earth beneath us" or something along those lines and even then the planet took a looong time to explode although in the end there are only rocks floating about in space

Goku punched through King Kais planet right? Was it officially noted that it eas super dense or was that a fan calculation?

that was PC superman. you said we are using post crisis/pre-flashpoint superman. there is a massive different between them.

I decided to be fair to everyone to make it any version of Superman be used.

Considering the fact that he and the Green Lantern also moved Earth, a planet far larger than the moon on a huge magnitude? Yea, I'd say he has moon shattering punching power.

Which further reinforces him being at least around moon shattering. The damage the two were doing to each other eventually destroyed a planet that dwarfs the moon. And they weren't even directly attacking the planet.

It's more common sense than anything. A planet that size, can't have that level of gravity without being that dense. Plus his first planet used to be a lot bigger to boot before Bills came along and busted it after losing in a video game.

Yeah I know these feats. Thats not punching the moom though. Thats flying at lightspeedish speeds to ram into moons

Which is why I brought it up.

What has the first planet being bigger got to do with the second one.
Its still a fan calculation. Which doesn't make it all that reliable
