Superboy-Prime didn't have Silver Age powers (he debuted in the Bronze Age). His body just metabolizes sunlight at a much more efficient rate than most other Supermen, and on top of that, he doesn't go around restraining his powers like most other Supermen.astrallite wrote:They created a series called Infinite Crisis where all the supermen in parallel universes were thrown together, and the one with silver age powers (Superman Prime) basically solo'ed the entire DC universe lol.

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
The only character in the Dragon Ball universe who could conceivably take down Silver-Age Superman is Arale. Because she's pretty much the same character.

Well my reasoning for bringing that up is that many people like to claim that "Goku cant breath in space so all Superman would have to do is carry him into the depths of space and watch him sufficate." But as I remember Goku as a kid was in space just fine when sending Boss Rabbit and his goons to the moon and that is clearly a gag feat yet people disclaim it almost all the time.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

He can hold his breath for a "super" long amount of time. The only instances where I've seen him wear a suit in outer space is to combat incoming Kryptonite asteroids (yes, it's happened more than once). But I think everyone's mistaken in arguing over anyone breathing in space... because no one can breathe in space. There's no oxygen out there.

And besides that, there is oxygen, and other gases, in space. Just extremely miniscule trace amounts.

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
I have an interesting thought. The Ginyu Force vs the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Think Ginyu might come on top, but then again, the Warlords aren't to be underestimated, hence how they achieved their titles.
Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
Probably because it goes against what's clearly established later in Dragon Ball. Freeza being able to survive in space while Saiyans can't was the whole reason Freeza was fine with blowing up Namek.goku the krump dancer wrote:Well my reasoning for bringing that up is that many people like to claim that "Goku cant breath in space so all Superman would have to do is carry him into the depths of space and watch him sufficate."

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
I'd really want this thread to be moved to some other section of the forums. Don't know if it's just me, but I don't like seeing DB characters being compared to something which is not DB related in any way. This thread disturbs me @_@.

Well, there was really no point mentioning Vegetto. He's the persistent exception to all the rules.

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
I think that was in the DCAU where in the 90's cartoon series that he need a space suit to travel in space to go after Lobo. I remember Superman being in space just fine many times before in most post-crisis Superman comics.Fox666 wrote:Didn't Superman needed a space suit in space? I don't know much about old comics

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
And those other Kryptonians would have no reason to fight half the DCU, and couldn't anyway because of that whole "metabolizes sunlight" thing I mentioned.

How does "metabolizing sunlight efficiently" help him beat up an army of Kryptonians, Anti-Monitor, Ion, Justice League, and countless others if it doesn't make him stronger?
So SSJ3 Goku at his Buu Arc Power Level would be able to beat Buuhan...if he could metabolize food better, right?

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
That was filler. But Freeza says that Saiyans can't survive in space like he can and tries to blow up Namek with that in mind. Kaio also says that Goku would die instantly if they tried wishing him back to life, since he'd appear where Namek used to be.Nazi Cola wrote:Goku needed a space suit on his way to Namek to fix his ship.

Re: Dragonball Vs. Non Dragonball
No one said he wasn't stronger than them. I said he metabolizes sunlight more efficiently than them and hasn't ever been taught to restrain his power (which that army of Kryptonians you mentioned, you know, has just last year or thereabouts), making him doubly threatening to "half the DCU," because he's all about being super strong and super nuts.astrallite wrote:Superboy Prime isn't stronger than other Kryptonians but he metabolizes sunlight more efficiently?
