Z fighter vs. ...

I don't mean to beat a dead horse but topics like this will only end up with things that begin with 's' and end with 'uperstar'.

First, I believe Superman and Flash have reached the speed of light. I'm more sure of Superman doing it. Second, not all of the Z-fighters power up to their max at the start of a fight. I would stake my first born on the fact that Goku would start off slow to determine his opponents fighting ability and try not to go all out. He would want to have a good, fun fight. And sadly, third of all, everyone seems to be leaving the humans out of the fight. Are we following in the footsteps of Mr. Toriyama? Where Krillin, Tenshinhan, and Yamcha in all of this?

Correct! Superman is stated to travel at 99% lightspeed. Flash with the SpeedForce can travel at lightspeed and beyond. Yet, their is a difference in styles between the JLA and the Z Senshi. The Z Senshi can FIGHT at lightspeed, Flash and Superman can only travel at the speed of light. If we look at which is better for a fight it would have to be reflexes > Traveling speed.

Agreed, Goku would like to get a good warm up in while fighting (as most of the Z Senshi would). I can't say much about the humans for the Z Senshi, Guess they can sit back and watch or fight some of the JLA reserves.

I agree its a bummer, but most of the humans couldn't match up to most of the Justice Leaguers. But Tenshinhan or Kuririn could probably take MM, and all of them could take Batman.

We're being civil and logical about it, so I don't think there's any wrong done.

You have to remember, Dragonball characters FIGHT at the speed of light.

NO.

If they were moving at lightspeed, they would be whipping around the Earth seven times every second.

Stop! Please, let this end right now and continue with the mind-numbing Dragonball VS. Justice League bable! I couldn't stand for another 'How fast do DBZ characters move' debate! The memories of the last one haunt me... oh, the horrible attempts at science...

Actually I have one quick question regarding lightspeed travel and Goku which can definitely be answered with any debate: When speaking about the Instant Transmition, does Goku really state that he can move at the speed of light or is this a dub error?

This is kinda revalent with this topic because it could be used during a scurmish although I do recall that it can take up a lot of his power.

You just had to go there... Oh well, see if any of this answers your question...

(I throw this up now because I wanted to nip this in the bud. Someone states the characters started going faster than light... someone else disagrees... someone then throws Shunkan Ido into the mix... and stuff just goes downhill from there.)

Thanks. In a discussion like this, you need to know what the characters can and cannot do and them be in full agreement.

I'm seeing a lot about the JLA of the DC universe, but IMHO the Z Senshi would have a tougher time with the characters in the Marvel universe.

Just think about it, Professor X, symbiotes, and the Devil himself are only a few examples of a pain in the ass that Martial Arts can take on for just so long. Now I'm not turning my back on my boys of the 7th century, but I'm just trying to be logical.

And what about Spawn, why haven't we heard of Spawn lately?

Tenshinhan used "Rekka Kōsoku-ken" Light-Speed Fury Punch! This is an attack that is as fast as light.

Well, the Marvel heavy hitters wouldn't be any different from DC's heavy hitters. Characters like Thanos, Surfer and Thor would get beat by the Z Senshi.

Oh my God WHO THE FUCK CARES. It's a TV show for Christ's sakes. I have a feeling about you, as well

And am I the only one who could care less about whether Superman or some other fictional character is stronger than Goku or not?

Okay, then look at it a different way. Dragonball was originally a manga which is nother word for comic book. Many people who read comic book have compared and mentally pitted combatants against each other. This is even something that the writers and creators themselves have done. Such as here and here.

I think that the reason Justice League and DC characters are being used more is the fact that they have more mainstream and well-known God-like characters than Marvel. But that doesn't mean that there are God-like characters in Marvel, it's just that we may not know well enough to compare them to the Z-fighters.

Just a quick note: the time period of 700-799 tends to be called the 8th century. >_>;

I don't read Marvel nor DC, so I'm not that familiar with either of them. .___.;

Surfer doesn't need a spaceship to travel the universe.
Goku does, unless he's using ShunkanIido. Difference? The Surfer can do more than just move while traveling through space.

To answer all questions: Who would win between Goku and Superman? Whichever notices the flying cloud of antimatter in time to get out of the way.

And now I want to write a Goten-with-a-Simbiote fanfic. ... Or Trunks. Or Gohan. Not sure which...

[MajinVejitaXV]

Well, the Marvel heavy hitters wouldn't be any different from DC's heavy hitters. Characters like Thanos, Surfer and Thor would get beat by the Z Senshi.

Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet would snap his fingers and kill all the Z fighters, then go back to obsessing over Death.

Silver Surfer? He'd just grab any of the Z fighters and fly them up into space, where they'd suffocate. Or, you know, he'd use that Power Cosmic of his and reduce them to atoms.

Thor...eh, Thor's a wuss. A god, but a wuss.

Sorry, I had to

The Surfer NEEDS his board to travel the galaxy. Goku can use Shunkan Idou to travel anywhere instantaneously.

As for Goku vs Superman, Goku wins. I have seen Superman beat down to many times in his comics to believe that he is a match for Goku. Superman was beat down by some really weak characters if you ask me.

Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet would snap his fingers and kill all the Z fighters, then go back to obsessing over Death.

Silver Surfer? He'd just grab any of the Z fighters and fly them up into space, where they'd suffocate. Or, you know, he'd use that Power Cosmic of his and reduce them to atoms.

Thanks for using an augmented Thanos, especially with the Soul Gems. Thanos was God almighty with the Infinity Gauntlet but I can use a Dragonball GT Goku with the seven Dragonballs inside him. Goku was literally Omnipotent, I think.

Silver Surfer is overrated, Goku's abilities are far greater than his. Surfer is not just going to grab a Saiya-jin who fights at super speed all the time. Surfer doesn't even fight at super speed like the Z Senshi does. The Power Cosmic is nothing compared to Ki in Dragonball. The Z Senshi has more destructive power.

Phenomenol, you are the ultimate fanboy.

I like Goku a thousand times more than I do Superman, but I'm not so blinded by fanboyism that I will refute logical evidence that proves Goku can't beat him. However unfortunate that may be.

Just because Goku can't beat Superman doesn't make him any less cool or interesting. Just let it go man.
