They can believe what they like. Toriyama is not exactly very reliable regarding information and coherence, the manga hardly has any info on it, and the line in question by Yamcha is not a direct line on the issue and has some outstanding interpretations problems since he refers to Earthling/human and we don't even know what Yamcha knows about Tenshihan and his current power in the Buu arc.

Not to mention that Tenshinhan's interventions against second form Cell and against Buu seem to make more in-universe sense if he actually is stronger than Krillin.

The Spectre entered the Source Wall once and absorbed some of its power and that basically made him become one with the universe and almost one with The Presence (god).

This Superman also did that and studied and gained power from the Source.

Not only that, but this Superman also has the powers of the 5th dimension imps, who are some of the most powerful beings in the DC universe and capable of destroying dimensions and creating universes in a second simply by wishing it.

That alone already puts him as one of the most powerful beings in DC universe, but, to top it off, he spent dozens of centuries collecting powers and abilities from all over the universe and spent 15.000 years in a Super Sun to increase exponentially all of the powers that he got and I already mentioned.

So, sure, he lacks feats because he only appeared in basically one story, but what we know of him puts him safely in the top ranks. You say plenty of beings who could destroy him? I only see a handful would could be argued and that's all. But whatever you say.

And obviously Goku wouldn't be able to anything to him.
Obviously Goku gets his ass rekt by SMPOM.

Off the top of my head

Ion Kyle
PR Beyonder
PR Molecule Man
Living Tribunal
Mandrakk
COIE Anti-Monitor
ZH Parallax
Thanos w/IG or HoTU
Thought Armor Robot
Fully unbound Spectre would destroy SMPOM
Hell Solaris could beat him, SMPOM only won due to literally thousands of years of prep.
Lucifer Morningstar
Archangel Michael

SPOM is strong, sure, but he's not even close to the strongest. And his lack of feats just makes him even weaker that I could have added like, triple my list and they could easily arguably win. His best feat is saying "welcome to my universe", which doesn't even imply he made it. It's like saying "welcome to my house" but I didn't build it. He couldn't bring back Lois without her DNA, couldn't beat Solaris without a crapton of prep and prior knowledge, and wasn't fast enough to save a universe.

And again

There's also Kuririn thinking he can take top 5 the Budokai if Tenshinhan enters and Piccolo doesn't. Which would be him, 18, and the 3 base saiyans.

Toriyama's statement literally contradicts nothing. Yamcha sensed Tenshinhan at the Cell Games, I doubt he made any massive gains in the 7 years.

And no, the Cell/Boo feats are can not be used. They are in no way comparable because Kuririn doesn't have the Shin Kikoho, and wasn't placed in those situations.

Ion Kyle -> OK.
PR Beyonder -> Not DC. He's marvel. Obviously I was talking about DC. Obviously, in all comics (and mangas, why not?) there are a lot more characters capable of taking on Superman Prime than just in DC.
Molecule Man -> Also not DC.
Living Tribunal -> Also not DC.
Mandrakk -> OK.
COIE Anti-Monitor -> OK.
ZH Parallax -> OK.
Thanos w/IG or HoTU -> Not DC.
Thought Armor Robot -> OK.
Fully unbound Spectre would destroy SMPOM -> OK.
Hell Solaris could beat him, SMPOM only won due to literally thousands of years of prep. -> Obviously, what is being discussed is this Superman at his best. So, this claim doesn't make sense.
Lucifer Morningstar -> OK.
Archangel Michael -> OK.

So, I said that I could think of about an handful in DC that could be argued as able to beat him (besides the Presence), and you mentioned 8 (9 if you really want to count Hell Solaris, but I think its silly to argue him only because you think he could win if Superman Prime was weaker than he is).

So, not really seeing the "plenty" of characters you mentioned before or how "he's not even close to the strongest" or how he is not easily in the top ranks like I suggested. The characters you just listed are pretty much all reality-warpers, dimension-bending and universe-ending god-like beasts of power who sit of the very top of ranks of the history of the dc universe. But, like I said, whatever you say.

(Also, Superman Prime only needed her DNA to bring her back in a god-like body similar to him. He re-created all of Kripton and all of its inhabitants with a rock and no DNA, so he obviously doesn't need dna to recreate someone. The my universe thing is heavily implied to be of his own doing and frankly and I don't see the point in doubting this since just the powers he has from the 5th dimension imps should be enough for that. Again, your argument that he couldn't beat Solaris if he wasn't as strong as he was doesn't make much sense when we are trying to rank his full power. And he wasn't fast enough to save one particular universe from collapsing, but he made it clear that he could stop a universe from collapsing, just not that one in that case.)

I didn't state that it doesn't make sense for you to argue that Tenshinhan is weaker, or that he isn't. I just pointed out why it simply isn't that strange for people to think that he isn't, or argue it. Its not really as clear of an issue as you make it look.

Superman Prime 1M (The Gold Superman) was hardly around to judge any feats. It was mention that he stop a whole universe from being destroy and stop Solaris on the last minute from what I can remember during DC One Million. He's not even the strongest Superman since Comsic Armor Superman was powerful enough to beat a enemy who was eating away universes during Final Crisis.

As for Goku vs. Superman, who really cares? I find it amazing that DBZ fans get mad that Superman has better feats. Goku's story and done over with while Superman's story has been going for over 75 years and will keep on going. Superman will always get stronger while Goku has reach his limits now since he has SSjG. Even if SSjG Goku can destroy a solar system then I do think Superboy Prime when he got his power up during the Countdown would beat any version of Goku. I don't see why people need to wank DBZ when DBZ is already a very powerful series. Fans refuse to admit that there's other franchises stronger then DBZ.

Is anyone here arguing Goku has better feats than SM? SSG did the exact opposite though... it said his limits are nonexistant and that he could get wayyy stronger. Goku still hasn't reached a limit he can't break.

@rereboy

You were saying SMPOM was the second strongest in DC, with maybe one or two others that could beat him. I gave 8 or 9 examples of people stronger than him off the top of my head.

Actually, I had already corrected myself to a more realistic estimate. At first I said one or two out of the top of by head without thinking about it (besides The Presence) but then I thought a little after your post and rectified my rough estimate to about an handful that I could think and that could be argued to be superior (since the vagueness around Superman Prime's limits and also around the limits of universal beings like these makes it hard to judge).

In your list you mentioned a few that I actually hadn't thought about, so, if I had done it, I would have said perhaps two handfuls of beings that I could think of and that could be argued.

However, my point wasn't that my rough estimate of two or a handful was super accurate, my point was that Superman Prime is easily in the top ranks and that few beings will outrank or be argued to outrank him in the the DC universe.

Yet, you continued to insist that "plenty" of beings are superior and that he "isn't near the top ranks", even though you only mentioned 8 beings that could be argued (and like I said, are pretty much all reality-warpers, dimension-bending and universe-ending god-like beasts of power who sit of the very top of ranks of the history of the dc universe).

Even if you can think of more, that still doesn't contradict my point, it just shows that my rough estimate of how many/few can be argued was further off, which I fully admit.

So, instead of just focusing on whether my rough estimate was super accurate or not maybe you should focus on my actual point? Or are you gonna continue to say that are plenty of beings more powerful and that he isn't near the top ranks? Because my interpretation of "plently" is a large amount and my interpretation of "not being near" is not even being close at all.
Hellspawn28 wrote:He's not even the strongest Superman since Comsic Armor Superman was powerful enough to beat a enemy who was eating away universes during Final Crisis.
Well, first off, isn't he a machine? As in he is not actually Kal-el? That was my impression, so I don't really consider him to actually be Superman.

Besides that, well, honestly, I get what you are saying but I think it depends on perspective. If you really want to look at actual feats, then I fully understand considering Cosmic Armor Superman superior, but, giving equal importance to estimates and theory, which is frankly the only way to judge this Superman Prime, Superman Prime might take it. Its hard to tell but I fully admit any result and honestly, its probably likely that he is superior to Prime, even with theory and estimates.

Relying on estimates and theory is pretty common anyway. Power in Dragon Ball also has to be judged in estimates and theory btw. If we looked at feats only, they would be far weaker than they are supposed to be, imo.

Hence my "basically omnipotent" as in significantly close to power levels like that. The only one really omnipotent in DC is The Presence because its god. Even if Superman could do anything besides beating the Presence, he wouldn't be omnipotent. And that post of mine was my response to someone asking who the highest Superman was. That was my point in it. What was yours in replying?

(Btw, he only needed her dna to create a body for her as god-like as his own. He recreated a lot more people without any dna).

Oh, and I used a wiki because, a) its easier to copy / paste than to write, b) I don't think anything that I quoted is incorrect. This prejudice regarding wikis is silly anyway. Any source can be wrong, you know?

And to what you say about him being implied to have created a universe, no, no he didn't
Using that logic
I could say " welcome to my house" and it means that I created the house
Neither did he recreate a planet, that was hourman

Not even you believe in that argument. The 5th dimension imps can create universes on a whim. This superman has their powers so, even with just that, he should be able to do it, let alone with everything else he has. So, I don't see the point in trying to argue that he didn't create that universe or that he is incapable of creating a universe with semantics.
Dbzk1999 wrote: because he's not the highest superman
Thought armor is more of a machine than Kal-el, so I don't really consider him to a superman like the others. But I don't fault you for considering him.
which is why you, I don't know, actually use panels
Because I don't want to crowd the topic with large images and doing so would actually be more troublesome than just writing about it? :wtf: I continue to not understand your point but whatever.

The DC Database (which is the wiki I assume you are using) is constantly patroled by obsessive fans who are hell-bent on ensuring that it's accurate. It's a perfectly valid source to use, considering that it's the main source for the actual writers of the comics (Marvel does this too.)

Don't try comparing it to the DBZ Wiki. The Marvel and DC Databases aren't on the level of, say, Wookiepedia, but they're far more accurate than the majority of fansites out there.

We will be saying the same about "fansites" like the "DBZ wiki" (which i have contributed to) once they are as old as those databases you mentioned. Right now the Dragon Ball wikia database has only been around since about 2008 or so, i'm sure places like Wookiepedia and the DC Database have existed far longer. thus meaning they have more content and verifiable information.

It'll improve when the admins of said wiki allow it to improve. As it stands right now, they are dead-set against that.

I will go no further than this, as that would be disparaging other communities, which is against the rules of this forum, and is off-topic.
