Above is the October 2002 issue of Wizard Magazine (issue #133). As I mentioned earlier it included a special "East Vs. West" feature. Which consisted of several "last man standing" style battles between popular Japanese manga stars and American comic icons. Apparently, Wizard assembled some of the most respectable artists / studios in the world of comics, including Pat Lee (Transformers G1), Phil Jimenez (New X-Men), Udon Studios (Deadpool), and a few other well known talents and reputable studios. The illustrations were rendered through a 5 paged color spread / pannel. There was also a brief character introduction / origin and a short script preluding each battle. Speaking of battles! The feature included 5 crossover confrontations including, Spideman Vs. Vash The Stampede, G-Force Vs. The Bat Family (Batman, Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and the Huntress), Wolverine Vs. the immortal Manji, Tetsuo Vs. Phoenix, and of course; Superman Vs. Goku.
The battle between Direct Comic's Superman Vs. Dragonball Z's Goku was illustrated by the combined forces of Long Vo and Udon Studios. In this "what if" scenerio Babidi tricks a naive Goku into believing a 8th Dragonball exist on a parallel Earth protected by an invincible Kyptonian. Babidi further convinces Goku that Superman is a evil tyrant who stole the Dragonball for his own evil agenda. Goku, being the simple-minded nincompoop that he is, believed every twisted word that came off of Babidi's deceiving tongue.
Using his Instant Transmission technique and some help from Babidi's magical powers, Goku travels inter-dimensionally; instantly arriving within the DC universe. After spotting the Man of Steel inspecting a LexCorp satellite, Goku introduces himself by punching Superman into the nearby moon. Shaking the blow off, Superman dodges the next couple of punches while returning his own, but Goku's martial arts prowess and teleportation ability allow him to consistantly land more blows. However, it's clear Superman is more than capable of absorbing most of Goku's furious punches, and surprises Goku with a couple of concentrated streams of heat vision.
In the next pannel Goku decides to end the battle, and rapidly teleports, landing dozens of punches in the span of a second. It's my theory that Superman's super-vision can detect particle fluxes within the air whenever Goku teleports, in effect, allowing him to anticipate where Goku will most likely appear. Not falling for the same trick twice, the next time Goku winks out and reappears, Superman unleashes a nasty super-powered haymaker to Goku's chin, sending the stunned Saiyan warrior crashing several miles beneath the moons surface.
Superman demands an explanation for Goku's seemingly unprovoked attack, but Goku powers up to Super Saiyan mode, uses Instant Transmission to teleport within inches of Superman's muscular frame, and fires off a kamehameha at point blank range into The Man Of Steel's chest. (see image below). Goku follows the Kamehameha with a gut punch (similar to the punch he used to defeat Broly at the end of movie 7) that hits, an already woozy Superman, square in the "S" shield. The intensity of the punch knocks Superman through the moons core and back toward planet Earth.
Goku's suddenly regains his common sense and realizes that he's been tricked, yet again. He knows it was all a lie and there is no 8th Dragonball anywhere on this alternative Earth. It's then he notices Superman's bloodied, battered, and broken body rocketing toward Earth. Fearing that such a hype velocity fall might kill the innocent Kyptonian; Goku teleports and catches Superman a moment before his alien insides are splattered all over the planets surface.
Goku, like the honorable warrior that he is, apologizes for his brash behavior before heading back to his own dimension to squash the little worm, Babidi. Puzzled and bewildered by the thorough *** kicking he's just experienced; a defeated and dominated Superman collapses unconscious, awaiting medical treatment from S.T.A.R Labs.
1. How can Goku even be fighting Superman out in space? Goku can't breath in space. Superman can't either, but he was trained my Mongul to hold his breath for very long periods of time in a vacuum.
2. You need one of the following things to hurt Superman: (1) Kryptonite, (2) Magic, (3) Be of at least equal strength to Superman, (4) Have Kryptonian Physiology. These requirements are for any universe. In the JLA/Avengers crossover, Thor was able to hurt Superman because he had two of these requirements (#2 and #3 to be specific). And if anyone is wondering, the crossover IS canon.
3. The Kamehameha wouldn't do that much damage to Superman. He's taken far worse than a Kamehemaha. Blasts from an Imperiex probe (the blast was capable of at least vaporizing a solar system), a blast from Imperiex himself (a being that destroys galaxies and is composed of enough energy to start a Big Bang), absorbed the energy from the Mageddon warhead (a warhead built to vaporize half the universe) and many more blasts. He faced Imperiex in the Our Worlds At War arc and faced Mageddon in the World War Three arc.
Also keep in mind that this is the post crisis version of Superman. The severely powered down Superman. That article is one of the reasons why I HATE Wizard.
Now, THIS is how the battle would end up:
